Volume 1 Chapter 30 Teasing

Mu Rou-shuang was stunned! Why had the Valkyrie come here?

Lin Yu patted the back of Mu Rou-shuang’s hand and smiled, "Wait for me in the car; I need to have a word with them."

Mu Rou-shuang was even more shocked. "My goodness, Brother Lin Yu actually knows the Valkyrie!"

Leng Ruoshuang got straight to the point. "Lin Yu, I have received confidential intelligence from above that Agent Zero is in Jiangcheng! He will take action at the appropriate time to help the military capture the three madmen. You know Agent Zero—can you tell me where he is?"

Leng Ruoshuang’s gaze was full of inquiry and eagerness, her sharp, bright eyes locked firmly onto Lin Yu. Hearing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but be taken aback.

Good heavens!

I couldn't afford to worry about much else; I immediately formed a hand seal, instantly unleashing the "Dou" incantation from the Nine Words of Power. With the True Dragon possessing my body, I transformed into a majestic, awe-inspiring dragon, emitting a roar that shook the heavens as I soared upward.

Although the ledger was authentic, he knew he hadn't actually received that much silver; at least twenty percent of it had been kickbacks for the Chief of the Imperial Household Department.

After kissing for a while, we pulled away. His body hadn't fully recovered and he couldn't move too much, and I needed to recuperate as well. There was a long life ahead of us; there was no need to rush.

What could one possibly plan while still in the car? One had to reach the destination and analyze the environment before a strategy could be devised.

Fox’s underground clinic was located in the most dilapidated building along the North Wall. One side of a first-floor window had been chiseled into a doorway with concrete steps built to serve as a storefront, making it convenient for daily access.

Wang Kai couldn't be bothered with all that; he wasn't a sociologist. How was he supposed to explain the nature of Earth to Dillon Casey? He’d better go back and see for himself. He only wondered if, after being in this alien world for so long, the guy’s family had forgotten him, or if his wife had run off with someone else.

The sandstorm outside continued to rage, its howling audible even within the underground cavern. One had to wonder about the composition of this planet—was it just a coincidence that the portal opened in a desert, or was the entire world nothing but sand?

The group quickly pulled back their heads, patting their chests and retreating one by one, all looking visibly shaken.

In the following days, Su Yuyang took Ling Miao to enjoy beautiful scenery and delicious food, finding quiet, secluded spots to sit and share sweet words when they grew tired.

Looking at the narrow corridor inside, Tony knew he wouldn't be able to maneuver properly if he went in. Not wanting to force it and risk misfortune, he flew into mid-air, standing guard outside for anyone who might emerge.

"Wow!" the girls cried out in unison, all casting strange looks toward their leader.

As the blue light entered the display cabinet, it signaled the start of the exhibition and the moment for Hu Guolong to showcase his capabilities. However, there were products from other merchants in the hall as well, and it was now under police protection. As Hu Guolong, Chu Yun, and the others arrived, people came over to greet them.

If it weren't for the fact that the beautiful Police Officer Shen had an extraordinary father, she would likely have been dismissed and investigated before she even managed to get out.

Before long, Shao Fei fell asleep. He had hardly slept all night. Having made up his mind to leave, he had to devise a meticulous plan to escape without anyone noticing.

Ximen Jinlian finally understood; so, Xu Yiran had actually intended to silence everyone here.

Inoue Sakura approached Ling Feng with a smile and, imitating Catherine, linked her arm with his. Ling Feng’s body stiffened slightly, but he did not push her away.

"Oh yeah! Finally, I can use the Earth Fire Talisman to burn monsters in a group," Zhou Mengyun said, rubbing her hands together with a wide, irrepressible grin.

The scholar tried to persuade Shao Fei while eating, but Shao Fei still disagreed; it was a pity for such a naive sniper to charge into melee combat with the Japanese soldiers.

"By the way, A-Yin, speaking of Luo Xin'er, we haven't heard a word from the Prime Minister's estate. It seems no one has discovered that the person in the palace is a fake. Is she dead, or what?" Jun Qiluo asked.

"Your cook is truly handsome; it's a waste that he isn't a film star," Ling Shufang said with a light laugh. This trip hadn't been in vain. Though she didn't know the identity of that Lin Xuanlan, judging by his attire, he certainly wasn't a cook, was he?

Xie Chan’s attitude, which had softened slightly, turned icy once more. She turned her head, instinctively avoiding the boy’s mockery.

Dragging things out for a year or two was perfectly normal; the longer it took, the better. Hopefully, you’d forget about it, and they’d save some money in the process.

It was clear that in order to buffer the pressure on Fan Zhi, the Xie family had made sure every trending topic was more ridiculous than the last.

In fact, before this, Yang Jian had wondered if it was a bit too early to start working on smart furniture.

***

Just then, a dark, ink-colored figure emerged from the courtyard. The man was exceptionally tall, with sword-like brows and star-bright eyes. His cold, imposing aura commanded reverence, and his profile flickered in the moonlight. Suddenly, he cast his gaze toward the lake.

A powerful force erupted. With a single punch, the Evil Wave was sent flying like a cannonball.

The reporters’ questions were so sharp that Yang Jian had no idea how to respond.

If Li Rongsheng were to storm in and bite him now, he wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River. If he had really done something so conscienceless, wouldn't Li Rongsheng fight him to the death?

"That's right! You took that cripple's money yesterday—bring it out now! Otherwise, even if I end up covered in wounds, I'll make you pay dearly!" Su Ruyi said fiercely, her eyes flickering with hatred.

The object looked like a sponge full of pores, paired with a powder case; tapping it would release a cloud of white dust. Applied to the housing and chain of the light-blocker, it could conceal energy fluctuations and optical reactions.

In this illusion, Hou Yu seemed to have lost his flesh and bones, becoming as transparent as air.

In the meditation chamber, the imprisoned Selicia seemed to sense something. Boundless magic surged from her body, easily shattering the restraints that had once controlled her, and she hurried toward the exit.

Jiang Huan noticed that Zhu Biao had drawn out the words "frequent visits," and as he spoke them, his smile became deeply meaningful.

He smiled, looking toward the front-left, as if someone in the air were talking to him. He did not stop his pace, however, and under the gaze of Wei Yue and Mo Chou, he ascended the stairs.

At that moment, Shang turned, plunged into a spatial rift, and vanished into the turbulence of space-time. The rift closed instantly, and the terrifying scene within disappeared.

Without using true essence, the power was greatly reduced; with the same sticking and leading technique, he only managed to deflect Feng Wuyai’s branch by an inch.

Having confirmed certain things from Ling Long today, she was basically certain that the spy Ling Yun had mentioned—the one who looked like her but had gone missing—was indeed Ling Long.

The entire computer screen was filled with that ugly, terrifying face; one could even clearly see the cracked skin and the grotesque, gaping pores on the ghost's face.

During that period, there were too many people in the escort agency who were familiar with the name Hui Qingyan, and many wanted to establish a connection with him. No matter how things developed in the future, having an extra path was always a good thing.
