Chapter Ninety-Nine: Turning the Tables Directly

Page (1/3)

Although District Five was under lockdown, most people remained unaware of it. After all, those immersed in cultivation, rest, or leisure rarely paid attention to sudden city closures unless something major occurred. Over the years, there had been instances when beast hordes forced lockdowns, so a sudden seal-off was not entirely unprecedented. Yet at this moment, except for those in deep meditation retreats, everyone had heard the news.

“Damn... Captain Wu, who is this person...?”

Beside Captain Wu,

This marked the first kiss with a female that Zuo Feng remembered; his "first kiss" was thus “forcefully” taken by Chen Yuqing. But the moment left a deep imprint on him, as if his entire bloodstream was boiling.

Earlier that morning, at dawn when the streets were still sparse, Jiang Tianwei had fainted for several minutes before a resident nearby noticed him.

Zi’er said, “You still won’t admit it? And you dare to talk back! Believe it or not, when we get home, I’ll report everything you’ve done to Mother, and from now on, I won’t take you out anymore!”

Jiang Tianwei and the others hurried after, though the purchase was already made. They had been waiting for Lin Qiuyuan to arrive; now that the person was taken away, they naturally had to return. It was already noon.

Flame Spirit Princess noticed Han Qianye touching her face and mentioning something on it—could there really be something there?

In truth, such declining powers were the most dangerous, for they had little left to fear or care about.

After the fight, Qin An’an disdainfully tossed her aside, causing the dazed Qin Susu to fall onto the cold ground.

Even with the formidable recovery granted by the Black Fiend Parasite Talisman, it was impossible for someone to regrow limbs.

Zeng Hongyue had been deeply infatuated with Wang Aiyuan from the first glance but had always kept this feeling buried. He had also heard about Wang Aiyuan and Jiang Tianwei but, never having seen Jiang Tianwei for so long, assumed it was all a misunderstanding.

By the time they returned, it was nearly noon. Fortunately, there was still time before the end of the workday, so all departments received notices for an afternoon meeting, to be held at the temporary city lord’s mansion. However, no details about the meeting’s agenda were revealed.

Next, all personnel except the royal family observed a moment of silence lasting fifteen minutes for the soldiers who had fallen over the past five years.

Five “heroes” gathered to discuss their tactics. Li Wei was an outsider and didn’t know what to say. The other four were from Demacia, but he?

Though they had maintained overwhelming superiority from start to finish, they foolishly repeated the same moves multiple times. Even a monkey would know where the charge would come from. Their defeat was entirely self-inflicted.

“Although I don’t know the value of those dripping creatures, if you want them, please take them,” Yisi said.

Yet in the end, he chose her, for what he sought was not “strength” but “convenience.”

Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhu Ling, Zhang Ren, Li Tong, Chen Wei, and Hao Zhao’s troops pushed their defensive line southward, ready to intercept Yuan Shao’s advancing army.

Zhu Heng tried to clarify his thoughts, but seeing several generals looking confused, he guessed they didn’t understand. Then Zhang Ning gestured to him, encouraging him to continue.

The chaotic gemstone ability—“Fairy Phenomenon”—directs all events toward the worst possible outcome. When activated, the destructive power of all disasters reaches its peak, like mischievous fairies wreaking havoc.

Anyone who barged in forcibly like this surely wasn’t here for sightseeing; the only plausible reason was murder.

The morning market had yet to open; merchants had not set up stalls, and those heading to work were still preparing at home.

Draco’s face was extremely grim—but it was pitch black around him, so no one could see.

“Hmph, I’m not eating your leftovers. No, it’s leftover noodles,” Ji Mina turned away. A man’s dignity isn’t something half a bowl of noodles can satisfy.

In the main room of the inner chamber, atop the kang bed lay a stone-blue golden money python pillow, with an autumn-hued golden money python quilt spread over it. Aunt Xue rested slanted on the kang.

At the ninja alliance headquarters reception, after Dongfang Yunyang revealed his identity, he was promptly escorted by a ninja to a chamber on the fifth floor of the main building.

Wild and adorable, no matter how aggressive or unreasonable, she was impossible to dislike.

Dongfang Mingshu looked quite displeased. He had prepared long and hard for the joint lower ninja exam. If he couldn’t win even the first match, his chances would be slim.

“Nothing much, just a mosquito flew onto the cup and accidentally broke it,” Jiang Chang’an said expressionlessly.

“Really, Mina, why did you drag me off running like that?” Ji Qingcheng pouted, displeased.

In his moment of excitement, behold: hair bristling with rage, blood surging to the head like a dam breaking, anxiety flooding his mind, blood vessels clogging suddenly.

But fortunately, they had all left Jade Dragon Peak as planned, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

All the magical high-pressure in the bedroom vanished without a trace, even Alisa’s pupils and hair tips returned to normal.

Seeing that the Emperor of the Great Song had promised a marriage to Le Tianyun, the Summer Kingdom’s envoy took his leave without further delay. The Liao envoy promptly followed suit.

“That’s right. Besides, something might happen along the way to delay them,” Hou Bin concurred.

“Have breakfast, then take the hangover medicine, rest well today, and put aside work for a while,” he thought, glancing at the bold calligraphy on the paper.

It was strange—why was there wind at midday? The morning had been so calm and peaceful.

“Ah, baby’s heart is crushed; I actually overslept,” Hongdou said dejectedly as she returned to the bedroom to put on makeup.

To quell the matter, the Star Path captured Huo Kong for execution and cleaned house. This was the utmost limit—no one could overstep further or face the consequences.

Mu Sheng smiled, “They’re just some spirit-walking talismans. No need to pity them; I have plenty.” Saying so, he pulled out a storage ring and handed it to Mu Xian. Mu Xian took it and was shocked to find it filled not only with various talismans but also heaps of spirit stones, materials, and medicinal herbs.

Because of the iron will of the host, Wuyue 23, this man was firmly suppressed and unable to escape.

Where would an ordinary player get so many soul orbs? Even if obtained, how could they trade with the undead?

If someone truly killed another, their appearance would betray it to some extent—just as Shi Yao once discerned that Shi Yu and her father were no good.
