Chapter 38: How to Soothe?

"I'll help you wash the vegetables." Seeing the produce in Fu Xiaoxiao's hands, Lu Lin stepped forward, reaching out to take them.

Fu Xiaoxiao cast a cool glance at his outstretched hand and dodged. "No need. You don't need to help with such a small task."

Lu Lin paused, and Lu Chen, standing nearby, instantly snapped to attention.

Lu Chen looked at Fu Xiaoxiao; she had never been this icy toward them before, having never refused their help in the past. Sensing the strange atmosphere between Lu Lin and Fu Xiaoxiao, Lu Chen carefully...

Ahead of Hal Roger, the air was filled with a bitter chill, as if some spell were about to take form.

"So now you understand my predicament! When I first heard he was coming, my heart sank. To speak plainly, if this fellow doesn't stir up some sort of trouble during his visit to our country, he would be doing a disservice to his reputation."

Ming also witnessed a different scene; after the endless darkness of the Heavenly Abyss appeared, the wandering spirits of the netherworld began to drift toward it uncontrollably.

Qin Yang still remembered the location of the Eternal Lower Realm. He sent his avatar into the Reincarnation Map and then exerted his full strength to activate it.

The temperature in the room continued to rise coldly, yet human hearts felt as frigid as ice. Dai Min moved her lips, hesitating for a long time, but ultimately said nothing.

"Qin Yang has become a Holy Son of the Universe Holy Land?" Dao Kongheng laughed heartily upon hearing this news. The days of Qin Yang's agony were about to begin.

Xiao Yi's reply was quite formal, yet it still drew reactions from many others; for instance, Wright, who had always been blunt, gave a heavy snort.

"Do you see that magical illusion array?" Senior Chu pointed to a giant image suspended in mid-air, on which a cultivator clad in white armor was visible.

"Not bad. With eight months left until graduation, you've already met your goal." He sheathed his blade. Within a one-meter radius, there was no debris; beyond that meter, the ground was covered in wood shavings, while within the immediate circle, everything had been reduced to powder.

Wen Qiongyuan looked at the empty seat beside him and couldn't help but think: everyone else is preparing, should he prepare too?

The Ancestral Witch Jumang possessed the power of wood, Zhurong the power of fire, Tianwu the power of wind, and Houtu the power of earth. What Qian Jie valued most, however, were the spatial-speed abilities of the Ancestral Witch Dijiang and the time-manipulation powers of Zhu Jiuyin.

"Yes, Xia Long died of a heart attack; there is no doubt about that. According to Xia An'an, when Xia Long died suddenly, a colleague was by his side and witnessed him suffering the heart attack in his sleep," Ran Sinian said, turning his gaze toward Xia An'an to seek her confirmation.

"Mother, Auntie, please let go! It was hard enough to get Liu'er to agree to marry me; you'll scare her away like this!"

"Come, come, you have some too. I knew you liked raw fish soup, so I made enough for two," Si Niang said, winking at the others as she handed the bowl to Jing Yan.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Miaomiao could only lower her head in silence, though she grew increasingly worried. Would Meiying think this was her own intention? If he truly thought so, he would surely hate her to the core. Yet, having spent so many years with her brother, she knew his character well.

On this day in class, Loya Samprus announced the grading results for the architectural models assigned as homework the previous weekend.

Feng Miaojun offered words of comfort with a solemn expression, promising a rigorous investigation until the culprit was brought to justice.

In other words, even if Sun Wu could deliver a precise pass, Manchester United would be unable to pose any real threat in this situation. Liverpool's high press was too fierce, Matip would step up to intercept, Griezmann was positioned too deep, and "The Second Child" was too slow and lacked the ability to dribble past defenders.

Sun Wu gritted his teeth and pushed forward, though his positioning remained cautious; he dared not leave the core area. Upon seeing Stones' long pass, he immediately understood what Guardiola was planning.
