79. The Endless Journey of Learning (16)

"I, Lu Fenglong, have no need to listen to you, Jiang Cheng. Don’t think you can get by just like that. Society is what it is—without money, you can’t survive. I’ll request the bureau chief to let me handle the interrogation." Lu Fenglong looked at Jiang Cheng with arrogance, then went off to make his request.

The unconventional youth hadn’t finished speaking when Dong Lianzhu’s foot lashed out, striking him squarely between the legs.

The leader strode to the center of the cluster of oil lamps, right at the mouth of the sand well’s pipe. He gazed skyward and drew something from his breast.

Song Xinyu turned around. When she saw the severely wounded Arrow Spirit Frog struck by Ye Yanqing’s ice pillar, she quickly manipulated her palm upward and seized the frog in her grip.

Though Ye Yanqing’s face wore a smile, in his heart he was thinking that one day, given the chance, he would teach Liu Yu’er a proper lesson.

"You won’t escape from me," said the being, the curved slit beneath its green eyes splitting into what looked like a satisfied grin.

Zhao Zilong’s monstrous strength—the audacity to treat a Rolls-Royce Phantom as a toy, boxing it as he pleased—left her utterly astounded.

At this moment, Chen Laoshi was clearly no longer the one in charge, and his voice mattered little. Meanwhile, Kong Bing’s heart soared with joy upon hearing the call of "Master Kong," his whole body tingling with delight.

"Pfft!" Mo Xi laughed softly. "Master Aunt? How amusing!" She gazed at Qin Xiao with a smile, thinking of how he would have to call her Master Aunt and couldn’t help but find it funny.

He Yue entered the office and glanced at He Jin. He Jin, who was never idle, was sitting there in a daze. Whenever his elder brother was lost in thought, something was surely amiss. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so absent-minded.

The scale and density of the River of Forgetfulness far surpassed this withered flower, yet it had served as the vessel for Li Muyu’s insights into the "Way of Passing Water." Thus, for him, controlling water and its flow was effortless.

Lu Ping’an suddenly understood Wang Haicheng’s meaning. Simply put, Wang Haicheng was saying that the flight control system developed for the Water Police’s order was a loss-making venture.

Only they knew the truth of the situation. The soldiers underground assumed they were allied with the previous gluttonous beast. Ignorance constrained their thoughts; right and wrong were not their concern. Obeying orders was their highest creed.

If he failed, Li Muyu would likely be struck down by the heavenly tribulation summoned at the birth of dragon blood. Yet, as one bearing the bloodline of the cold carp, he had no choice but to gamble.

On the plaza of the Green King’s Mansion, no one dared to breathe. Even the sound of a dropped needle could be heard—the atmosphere was suffocating.

At this moment, Fang Shun felt as if sitting on pins and needles. He had just noticed that it was Chu Xian who had helped Shen Ziyi, enabling him to surpass Zhao An. Zhao An was surely aware of this; otherwise, he wouldn’t have kept his eyes fixed on them.

"Evacuate? Evacuate to where? This is Tianhe City!" Even the typically aloof Rose could not help but erupt in anger at these words.

"Gluttonous beast, are you implying I betrayed the organization and leaked information to the Police Department?" Qiongqi bluntly exposed the subtext of the gluttonous beast’s words.

Duke Kao’s seductive phrasing was all too obvious to Su Feng, who had survived countless millennia; he didn’t even need to think to discern Duke Kao’s intent. Yet Su Feng was an old fox himself, and countered with an exceptionally calm narrative.

The Spirit Sword Sect was different; it had once basked in glory and its foundation remained. This sea map was, without doubt, one aspect of that legacy.

"Now that we’ve cleared the perimeter, it’s time to focus on dealing with those madmen who dared attack Selam!" Anael, accompanied by five hundred phoenixes, emerged from the bunker to the surface, glowering fiercely toward Selam, itching to charge at once.

As the chief logistics officer, Li Daozong’s willingness to stoop and express admiration for Xu Zhen displayed the humility and grandeur of a true general, earning Xu Zhen’s heartfelt respect for the old commander.

During negotiations, the other party expressed a desire to meet the Emperor of Great Tang—a longing that went beyond mere admiration. Perhaps their leader could never imagine the majesty of the imperial presence.

Athletes who achieve fame as youths often decline sooner than their peers, while late bloomers tend to enjoy longer careers. There’s a reason for this.

"I can. I’m available. I’ll go." Wang Gang had been searching for an opportunity, and now that it was delivered to him, if he failed to seize it, he would truly be a fool.

But at that moment, Roderhart opened the tunnel and escaped with the other terrifying knights back to the Underworld. The mage was still stunned, and the employer’s knights and remaining followers had long since vanished from sight.

Nonetheless, Fang Yan unhesitatingly withdrew the jade token and retrieved the item from the spiritual radiance. It wasn’t his first time encountering such a situation; from his past experience, anything claimed by the blue orb was never ordinary and might bring him great benefit.

Red Rock’s compassion had been activated, but ultimately it was a step too slow. No matter how powerful the restoration spell, it could not revive a corpse.
