Volume 1, Chapter 27: I Am a Doctor, Let Me Examine Her

Lu Shixin's Bedroom

The issue of the Blood Essence still hung over A-Xun like a sword of Damocles, threatening to fall at any moment and causing a persistent, throbbing headache.

"Is this truly reliable? Wouldn't it be incredibly dangerous for us to rashly leave the restricted zone and enter the mundane world?" I asked, my voice laced with doubt.

Thanks to the primordial spiritual energy, he possessed extraordinary talent and an exceptional memory. Having pored over numerous ancient texts and learned much under the tutelage of Ao Guang, he had gained a deep understanding of many strange and mysterious phenomena.

After receiving orders at the 4th Battalion to return to the newly discovered secret star gate, the Changping Mecha Academy handed the fourteen mecha engineers over to the local S2214 unit's transport team for escort back to base. Yet, both the transport team and the fourteen engineers vanished into the vastness of space.

"Rock." I extended my fist and opened it before the interrogator. He glanced at me, then revealed his own palm. Having won this round of rock-paper-scissors, he nodded with satisfaction, the deep furrow between his brows finally beginning to soften.

With these words, the visage of Di Lan Sheng Xue gradually faded from the sky, leaving the firmament once again a vast, azure expanse.

I scrambled up from the ground, walked over, and picked up the crushed sweet potato lying at her feet. I stuffed it into my mouth; to me, it was a delicacy, the very foundation of my survival.

Watching the bodyguards charging toward him, Fang He’s expression turned icy. This Clofen was truly courting death, actually daring to have people waylay him.

"Of course. The King of Gu is a legendary figure; naturally, I remember his words clearly, every single one of them," Su Ming said, directly pinning the blame on the King of Gu while offering a follow-up compliment to further provoke the Snake King.

Su Ming simply shook his head. Given Wushuang’s current state, there was no way to rush the process; it was not something that could be resolved instantly with the power of the stars.

"One day, I too shall create a space of my own, just like the Senior War Emperor," Yun Feiyang vowed to himself.

Naturally, if the boss arrived and could smoothly eliminate Su Ming, that would be the best possible outcome. He would make sure to exact a brutal revenge; he still harbored a grudge over being gripped by the throat and nearly suffocated by Su Ming just moments ago.

Ginobili held the ball, advancing unhurriedly, while Rose retreated to his half-court, waiting for Ginobili’s arrival.

"Clang!" The Xuanyuan Divine Sword struck the Tiger Soul Saber, emitting a thunderous roar. The residual sword energy descended, shattering the formation below until not a single trace remained.
