Chapter 156: Our Homecoming
In the smoke-filled hospital corridor, the members of the [Penglai] team stood like statues, their gazes fixed intently in one direction.
"Sob, sob..."
Aside from the occasional muffled sob from a young girl, the entire corridor was dead silent, the atmosphere oppressive to the extreme.
Footsteps, patter...
Hasty footsteps echoed from the other end of the corridor as a sweating Wang Xu and Jing hurried over.
"What's the situation?"
"Unknown, still in emergency surgery."
Cong Xuefei replied in a lowered voice.
"Don't worry, I've already sent people to protect you. You will be safe from now on. Trust me, okay?" Mo Yuhan looked at Xin Yu gently, patiently waiting for her to calm down.
Liu Ruozhu and Mu Rongyi both started in surprise, never expecting that Chen Chen would actually utter such words. Liu Ruozhu's previously heartbroken, pretty face instantly froze. Mu Rongyi was also stunned on the spot for a moment, somewhat at a loss.

General Stilwell and Davies rushed into Wang Xueying's office, embracing him like a celebration.
"Please remove the first two characters, thank you!" Jiang Mohai washed his hands in the stream, drew his fan from his back waistband, and waved it gently.
By evening, the video recorded by Han Chen and Yan Qin was pinned to the top, and many people reposted this news all over social media platforms.
Xin Yu sat cross-legged on the bed, her large eyes staring straight at the mobile phone screen. After a long while, she finally turned it off and went to sleep.
The car drove out of the airport and detoured to Stellar Imagery. As soon as he stepped inside, Mo Nian'er ran over and threw herself into his arms, hugging Lin Baiyao tightly.
This item had very high defense, but its attack power was just so-so—only slightly better than bronze ware, and far inferior to the tusks of the woolly rhino and the saber-toothed tiger.
This page also contained no useful information. Looking at those familiar yet unfamiliar handwritings before me, I felt a slight ache in my head.
Chiyan drooped her discouraged head, knowing she had made a huge mistake today, and walked pitifully to Yun Yue's side, sitting down on the edge of her bed.
Di watched Zhan Xintang's every move, and upon determining that Di might have something wrong with his brain, he immediately leaped aside to dodge.
"I have repeatedly brought up the Cursed One. If she is the one, why won't she admit it? She deceived me." Rong Huazui shook his head.

Hearing this, Bai Zhan and Mo Wen fell into simultaneous silence. This was something neither of them could replace, and they had no idea how to comfort her.
Rong Qian nodded. "This is the only way. However, Senior Brother, do you guess what the person who planted the Heart-Devouring Gu on me is thinking right now? Could they still be plotting how to use my hands to deal with the people around me?" A trace of sinister and treacherous craftiness flashed through her bright eyes.
Upon seeing this scene, Monk Jianming's expression changed drastically, and he reached out to pinch Sakai Eijiko's cheeks. His original intention was to pull his thing out and then kick Sakai Eijiko away.
"This?" Chen Xia turned around with difficulty. She saw the sorrowful back of Xu Ling turning away, and also caught the flame of envy burning in Mengmeng's eyes.
Although she and Yun Duoduo had not yet shared the rites of husband and wife, they had already slept on the same pillow. Just as Yun Duoduo had said, the moment she opened her eyes, she could see Leng Muhan. Therefore, even without remembering him, she knew he must be her closest relative.
It was all Lu Fengfan's fault. Whenever he noticed her gaze lingering on an item, that item would immediately be delivered into her hands, leaving her too terrified to let her eyes wander in the end, lest more of those things end up in her possession.
Meeting Chen Muyang once again—even though the times had changed and our respective circumstances were no longer the same, and that tender mutual affection was no longer as calm and serene as before—the beating of my heart upon this reunion made me realize that even if I were to die by his hands, I would still be happy.
Moreover, the origin of the Divine Realm could be said to be the second contingency plan left behind by Fuxi in his pursuit of a breakthrough. Therefore, even the slightest alteration was recorded by Fuxi in his heart.
