Chapter 43: Zhaoxian County

"Yes," Yan Ningxi nodded.

Bo Xingjue, standing closest to the seismograph, suddenly spoke, "The display screen has lit up."

Everyone swarmed toward it instantly.

The moment the display lit up, a mechanical female voice chimed in with an alert: "Earthquake coming, earthquake coming."

At that moment, the screen showed that a 6.3-magnitude earthquake was about to strike a certain city in Zhi Kingdom in ten minutes.

Han Zhengde had not expected the first prediction—

After a while, the weeping of the vengeful spirits inexplicably faded away. Even more fortunately, Ye Shaoxuan discovered that those figures in black robes were merely pacing back and forth outside the ancient temple, not daring to cross even a single step further.

What the hell, they must have had too much time on their hands. At that moment, Ye Shaoxuan had a strong urge to drag a cow over and shove the ominous blade right into it, just to show them what true badassery looked like.

Bai the Stutterer, who was usually bold, thick-skinned, and straightforward, left in deep silence. The contrast with his previous fiery enthusiasm was stark. That was merely an episode, however; Bai the Stutterer remained mostly preoccupied with the source of his brother's unease.

What if she was plotting some other vicious scheme in her mind? Wouldn't that leave him swallowing bitterness like a mute, unable to voice his grievances? No, he absolutely could not agree to go to her house.

"I possess a wisp of his soul. As long as I can sense it, I can find him," Huaisang said, opening her palm as a wisp of red soul drifted outward.

Chixia said tearfully, "Dad, Mom, stop scolding the second brother. Can't I just give up this job at the textile mill?"

What is the most dangerous thing in this world? It is the cultivators, for all other dangers can be clearly seen. Only the human heart remains utterly impenetrable.

Qin Ziyuan looked strangely at Qin Xiqian's profile. She was still as beautiful as ever, but her eyes lacked their former luster; even from the side, one could tell that hidden secrets lurked within that gaze.

Now, she knew she had made a terrible mistake—a grave one. Even with a handsome man by her side, Huaqing's management remained strictly enforced.

Just as Xingxing Wuji was feeling annoyed, a soft moan interrupted him, as if Yuhuan was about to wake up. Yet, due to her somewhat weaker physical constitution, she ultimately failed to rouse. Perhaps it was for the best; keeping her awake would probably... sigh...

Everyone heard only a crisp 'snap', and immediately, several members of the demon race tightly clutched their chests with their hands as their entire bodies began to twist and deform.

"No need to rush. Now that we have this ability, when a similar opportunity arises in the future, I'll have the instructor assign you as a bodyguard. Whether you can become a close-protection bodyguard then will depend entirely on you," Gao Bing said, looking at Weyang.

Zhao Gengzhi knew Ye Shao's formidable capabilities, and he also knew that Ye Shao disliked others meddling in his affairs. Therefore, once Ye Shao took charge of the security training, he chose to remain as hands-off as possible, leaving the implementation entirely up to Ye Shao's discretion.

The fatty looked at me with some confusion, but still handed the time bomb from his pocket into my hands.

"You won't force me to call you older sister every single day anymore, hehe~" Pei Di laughed heartily, as carefree as the boundless sea and sky, fully revealing his nature as a sunny, carefree young man.

"Big Brother Ye, I won't. I must stay and accompany my brother tonight," Xia Yuan said, shaking her head repeatedly.

Although he was usually slick and worldly in handling affairs, he did not blur the lines when it came to matters of great principle, and upon hearing this, he immediately began cursing Xie Wufeng.

The Dark Clan was a tremendously powerful superpower within the primeval space-sea. Whenever they truly intended to conquer a certain space-sea, they would spare no expense.

"I am not here to bicker with you. I only ask: how about you pay back the debt owed by your disciple?" The Spirit Mother Spider's tone was extremely unkind, carrying the weight of an interrogation.

Watching his subordinates harvest the lives of their enemies as easily as reaping wheat, he felt an exceptional surge of excitement, almost as if driven by a peculiar, bloodthirsty hobby.

It was only a pity that the perils of this place were far more terrifying than those they had previously encountered.

The young maid Qing'er acknowledged the command, followed by the sound of footsteps indicating she had departed from Su Yiyue's doorway. At that, Xiao Yi and Su Yiyue simultaneously let out a sigh of relief.
