Volume One, Chapter 44: Stirred Once More

The situation instantly shifted back into a disadvantageous one. The enemy Gnar teleported down to the lane, replacing the Rek'Sai to tank the turret, making their operations even more effortless.

Jin Jiang's face was flushed red, but her gaze was resolute and her voice lacked any fluctuation. This only accentuated a quality akin to despair, sending a chill through anyone who looked at her.

Qiu Yingying, preoccupied with Fan Shengmei, and Guan Ju'er, preoccupied with Andy, walked back to the 22nd floor. The door of 2202 was open. As the two stepped out of the elevator and saw it, they couldn't help but exchange glances—Fan Shengmei was home.

Thud! His punch landed solidly on Xia Luo's body, feeling strangely hard. Huh? How could this be? In that split second of slight bewilderment, Xia Luo threw a punch and knocked him to the ground. Following that, Xia Luo charged forward recklessly, either ramming with his shoulder, smashing with his fists, or grabbing arms to slam people down.

Who in the entire circle didn't know that Mu Yingchen was notoriously promiscuous, often dubbed the playboy Third Young Master Mu? She would be far better off choosing that Qi Hui than choosing Mu Yingchen.

"Marshal Huo, didn't the Prince of Yan explain this to the servants of the Prince of Yan's Manor? All the rumors outside are false." Xia Qingxiao rubbed her faintly throbbing temples, deeply feeling a sense of utter helplessness. How could it feel like this was impossible to explain clearly?

Ling Xiquan only then snapped back to his senses. He instinctively took a step forward, wanting to call out to him, but the words reached the tip of his tongue and were swallowed back down.

However, she couldn't possibly reply like that directly, could she? If she did, wouldn't he immediately know who she was talking about?

"What the hell!" Just as I was catching my breath, I suddenly crashed straight into a tree stump. I raised my head to look, only to see a massive tree standing right in the water. Damn it, could I possibly be any more unlucky?

His hand remained in that same state. I slipped my hand into his and clasped it with my other hand.

She always walked with her chin tilted up, and most of the time, I felt like I couldn't clearly see what she actually looked like.

When my mother's gentle voice reached me, even though I was reluctant to acknowledge that name, I had no choice but to take a stride and run toward her.

If I don't hurry over right now to sever ties with Chang Feifei, once I get implicated later on, I won't even have a place to cry.

"Didn't I say not to disturb Us! Are you incapable of understanding human speech?" His voice was cold, carrying a trace of latent anger.

After the other party explained their identity and the reason for the call to Jin Yi, Jin Yi stood frozen in place for a long time.

As Jin Yi spoke, she felt a bit speechless too; she really lacked finesse when communicating with her superiors, always managing to anger Zheng Yuan. After these two incidents, she felt that Zheng Yuan's impression of her must have dropped to absolute zero.

"Could it be those people in the palace bullying you again while Fifth Brother was away!" Yun Huang guessed, a hint of suppressed fury and displeasure flashing in her eyes.

Having been dealt three heavy slaps in quick succession, Chang Feifei was already too shocked and furious to speak. She clutched her face, her eyes seeming to spew fire.

"Alright, I'm heading out. If you need help with anything, just let me know." Xu Lang patted Miao Hei's shoulder.

By the time Yingying and the others got me to the hospital, Mu Xuan had arrived as well. Seeing my condition, Mu Xuan stepped forward, picked me up in his arms, and hurried over to the doctor.

Of course, what I want to say goes far beyond this. Xi'er, I'm not sure what kind of feelings you hold for me—whether you regard me as an elder brother, a friend, or something else. But I am very clear that to me, you are a different existence entirely.

To attack where the enemy musters to rescue is a principle Ling Feng still understood, yet out of all those facing danger, how many could actually put it into practice?

The manager was also quite easy to talk to. In the end, not only did they upgrade our makeup artist to a stunt specialist, but even the cosmetics were switched to purely organic ones. On the way to the exterior shoot, we were provided with a private car for transport, and an additional set of outdoor photography packages was thrown in for free.

Without wasting words, Yue Qingwu drew her saber and engaged Chixia's puppet in a fierce melee, all while searching for an opportunity to take Chixia down.

Chu Yunxi suddenly felt a sense of shared misfortune. Although she was bullied too, she still had her parents, younger brother, and younger sister, whereas this brother from the Qi family depended solely on his mother for mutual support; his days were likely even harder.

The Demonic Shield-Guard Captain dropped 6 pieces of equipment, and the Demonic Dark-Assassin Captain dropped 7 pieces, bringing the total to 13 pieces of equipment.

Although the old monk was designated as the administrator here, in reality, he never actually managed anything and merely hung his title on as a figurehead.

During this period, the confrontation among the three temporarily paused as they began to slowly approach Tu Muyao, striving to win more bargaining chips for themselves.

Immediately after, several more system prompt sounds rang in their ears, and simultaneously, an option to exit the dungeon popped up.

"It's already been seven or eight days!" Hearing Yunting's words, Ye Zi pouted, counting on her fingers with some dissatisfaction, but still wrapped her arms around Yunting and acted spoiled.

"Heh, are you implying that my cousin simply wasted her youth in vain because of the Prince?" Ma Lanhua said.

However, Xiang Hao possessed two Heavenly Stele fragments. If word of this got out, the world would be thrown into chaos, and there was no telling how many powerful entities would come hunting for Xiang Hao.

Beside Han Xiuzhen, Lu Zhexxi stretched his neck slightly. He had heard the exact same commotion as Han Xiuzhen, but his state of mind was different; Lu Zhexxi appeared comparatively much more excited.

"Rest assured, if the situation becomes truly impossible, I will definitely find a place to hide. But even if there is just a sliver of a chance, if my true body finds a way to break the deadlock yet fails to enter the Yunké Tree Palace, that would be a true regret," Jiang Yu said with a furrowed brow.

Yan Hu let out a heavy sigh, lowered his head, opened his eyes, and cast a complex glance at Fu Xi.

The black-clad assassin caught the rhythm of Fang Yi's footwork and vanished from where he stood. When he reappeared, he was already right in front of Fang Yi, a flash of black light lunging straight from his dagger toward Fang Yi's chest with lethal intent.
