Chapter 36: Whose Problem?

Just as Shen Zhiyu was fretting over where to hide from the Shen family, a person she particularly disliked appeared!

Rong Yu!

Indeed, ill-fated affinities are affinities nonetheless!

"Comrade Shen Zhiyu, I believe there might be some misunderstanding between us!"

Upon his reappearance, Rong Yu’s expression was far more gentle. Although she did not know why he had shown up again, to Shen Zhiyu, he served as an excellent shield.

Of course—

Altaria, engulfed in the flames of life, unleashed Fairy-type energy that exploded against Hoopa, engaging in a life-or-death struggle on equal footing.

"If you had been sensible enough not to return, perhaps this day would never have come. Wouldn't you agree?" As he finished speaking, a hint of coldness crept into his expression, his gaze deepening as he looked at Ning Xiyue.

Having lost Joy Ling’s tracking method, Ting Shu remained unperturbed; he still possessed another way to pinpoint the location of Mismagius and the others.

Nishang pursed her lips and whispered softly, "Husband... dear husband..." That single word startled Gu Jingfeng, who had been momentarily lost in his own thoughts. He regained his composure and offered a sheepish cough. Outside, Yanzhi had already begun to bring in the midday meal.

Even if that white tiger had met with an accident, what about the spirit plants? Those spirit plants rooted in the ground could hardly sprout wings and fly away, could they?

The rebels in the valley gradually began to find order after a day and a night of chaos. As more rope ladders were deployed, the looting subsided. With the rising sun, they extinguished their torches and began to form lines of their own accord; by noon, all the soldiers had crossed over.

"You didn't expect it, did you? The substance we released earlier was the antidote. It’s a pity you didn't inhale it. How ironic that your own cleverness became your undoing!" the bandit leader said with a laugh.

"It seems I am destined to share your fate, Frigg," Esha’s soft voice resonated.

With another thunderous boom, the two locked in battle. They traded blows, engaging in brutal, unadorned physical clashes. Even though Lin, with her dragon kin physiology, was at least the equal of Prince Heyang in this test of strength and endurance, defeating him quickly would be no easy feat.

The feed switched to the large screen. Everyone looked up to see a massive monster emerging from the ground. With its long ears and rabbit-like head, it was undoubtedly another Eligal.

As for the old man—had Bai Qianya still been alive, she would surely have recognized him as the one who had stolen her Mysterious Crystal.

Feng Qingqing found Li Meiqi once more and gave her a sound beating. Though she didn't kill her, it served as vengeance for the original owner of her body.

With a background like hers and such beauty, she must have many suitors, right? He found it utterly baffling—what was so good about him? What virtues or charms did he possess that made her so unable to let go?

Zhou Youming watched Feng Qingqing’s retreating figure, his heart aching. Why was his Qingqing so cold toward him? Her attitude was something he found impossible to accept.

In this world, in this entire universe, if the two of them truly wished to rule, who could possibly challenge or stop them?

"Why wouldn't you believe me? I haven't cheated, and I have absolutely nothing to hide from you." Jian Ju felt that her earlier words had been hurtful, so she tried to appease him.

Gu Huaijin left with stinging eyes, and only when he realized it did he notice the tears falling. He still remembered the man telling him that he was not a stray cat with no one to claim him, and that he did not need to be obsequious or struggle to please others. But what, then, was all of this?

The driver had been sent by Huangfu Ye. At this moment, she finally did not have to pretend; she could finally be a little freer.

He detested nothing more than a servant betraying their master. Although Liu Yujiao was merely a concubine to Gao An, she had entered the Gao household as a noble concubine and held the status of a mistress. For Mother Cui, a mere servant, to take orders from the Zhao woman and strike at her own master just to pay off her husband’s gambling debts—such a servant deserved to be beaten to death.
