Chapter 81: Prophecy of Death (Part Two)
She was still hesitating, but Yun Yi and Yun Yin had already picked up a slice of pork skin jelly, dipped it in the sauce as instructed by their mother, and placed it in their mouths. Since it was a snack made by their mother, the two children ate with particular care, though their expressions were somewhat complicated. Yun Shuang laughed and asked, "So, how does it taste?" Pork skin jelly is not something everyone can enjoy, especially since yesterday Yun Shuang had intended to make gelatin sheets and didn't add ginger when boiling the pork skin.
The scene was set at the end of a street in Chinatown, in a bustling food stall. For two hundred yuan, you could eat your fill of fresh fruits, vegetables, sea cucumbers, and fish. Seeing Leah in such a state, Xu Xiang finally relaxed. He had been worried that this beautiful Queen Arthur might struggle wildly, causing trouble as Lin Xin once did, but unexpectedly she was unusually calm. With her tension easing, he found himself with leisure to feel this embrace that had appeared outside the script.
Here, the darkness, the confinement, the unknown—all were like hell itself. No, even more terrifying than hell.
The final eighteen crystals had only one purpose: at a specific time and place, when certain spells were cast, these eighteen crystals would simultaneously trigger, drawing all the power from the earth veins to the node.
[Heavy Strike]: A warrior’s basic skill, capable of causing extra damage. Delivers a physical attack to the target unit, inflicting an additional 47 points of physical damage. Cooldown: 7 seconds.
"Alright," Xu Xiang responded swiftly, his face turning serious. Before the words had barely left his lips, he had already vanished.
Watching Ling Yun, who loved so deeply, Jin Xin couldn’t bring herself to blame him further. What could she blame but fate itself? In them, she saw her former self, reckless for love, uncaring even if the whole world misunderstood.
A pure-hearted young man like him had never encountered such a farcical situation and had no experience to handle it. He had no idea what to say or do.
"What accident?" The more he spent time with her, the more Fu Siyan found himself unable to resist wanting to know her better.
On the surface, everything seemed calm, but Ling Xiao could see through the facade. Patrols had been strengthened on the streets; every half a tea’s time, another group would come by, leaving the citizens of the capital anxious and uneasy.
Maple Leaf City had gradually been transformed into a military fortress, much like other border cities. At the same time, railways were being repaired at a frantic pace. Many workers had been recruited, giving employment to a large number of previously jobless civilians, allowing them to make a living and raising their sense of belonging to Morning Star Industries.
Depending on their physical qualities, their evolution looked different, and so did their combat strength.
He appeared on the sea’s surface with Pipi and the Great White Shark, leading to the scene Yun Tie and the others had witnessed earlier.
The sword energy struck directly against the blue light, sending Jiang Bieli flying into the wall behind.
At this moment, the limitations of traditional fishing rods became apparent. If they had the kind used by Gu Jian and his companions, they could easily resolve the problem by loosening the fishing line, but traditional rods lacked this function, so Lu Qing could only brace himself.
"Whether you have the right is not for you to decide! Who do you think you are? Since you’re dead, you might as well stay dead and stop interfering with my cultivation, or I’ll scatter your soul to the winds!" Meng Batian interrupted the Demon God of Destruction before he finished, blowing on his hand and fixing his hair as he spoke.
Yin Donglong could sense the flames surrounding the stone’s body were fierce, not something ordinary fire could match.
"No patients is a good thing—it means everyone’s healthy." Zhang Hao grinned as he teased the spirit snake. Though he warned it not to steal food, he himself offered it a piece of ginseng.
Yuan Xuezheng and others from related departments all turned to look. Their hearts filled with joy, and they exhaled long breaths of relief.
My mother used to run a business with my father when she was young, but after they split, she lost heart and spent her days in a nursing home caring for my grandparents. When both passed away, she stayed on and worked there, probably as a kind of emotional support. Whenever I had time, I’d help her out.
All the maids and eunuchs had been newly assigned, making the courtyard feel unfamiliar. Prince Xiao Beiping had, in these two days, only gone to the restroom twice and drank a bit of water—he hadn’t eaten a single grain of rice. His face was now extremely pale, with no color except in his eyes.
"I named him—Dissaluzeb. And years later, I remembered his father’s name: Duzel." At this point, his hand trembled uncontrollably, large tears spilling from his eyes as he could no longer hold back his emotions.
Soon I drifted to sleep. When I woke, a blanket covered me, my shoes and coat had been removed. I shifted and caught the scent of hair on the pillow.
With permission from Pure Jade Master, Yang Yan urged his horse forward, looking down from above at the burly man.
"This..." The Yishui soldiers naturally trusted Shi Ziqiang’s words, but he couldn’t find a way out and stood there, stunned.
Every time she thought it would be best to pull away, Luo Sibing’s name would ripple through Lü Muqing’s mind.
Nagano Yuichiro saw the situation deteriorating and quickly ordered a retreat. Half the battalion’s infantry was lost before they managed to withdraw, and only a few cannons remained. Now Nagano Yuichiro didn’t know what to do, so he ran to Golden Arch Town to seek help from Brigadier General Guozaki Noboru.
He seemed never to have considered this question. When Wu Yulin asked, He Yehua was suddenly at a loss for an answer.
"Alright, alright! It’s getting late—everyone, go back to sleep!" Amid the cheers of the soldiers, Third Squadron Commander Duran Keqi shouted the order.
The Yamaguchi-gumi leaders responded and walked out. The sect masters faded from sight as well. As Miyamoto left, he met Han Yang’s gaze; Han Yang nodded gently, and Miyamoto vanished from the room.
When Old Child asked, everyone’s gaze fell on Martini, because almost all hadn’t heard Xu Fan and Old Child’s conversation and still assumed they were rivals, not in the current master-disciple relationship.
He had imagined many scenarios, but never expected this outcome. Her mother had always been healthy and fond of exercise when young; he thought the old lady would live a long life—how could she have passed away?
Jiang Ming picked up the pistol and the bullets from the floor. After a quick look, there were about thirty rounds—enough for now.
