Chapter 44: Qin Lang's Birthday

Yu Xiangsi still brought Ji Jing to the cemetery to visit her father.
In truth, Yu Xiangsi had very few memories left of her father. He had passed away far too early; in her vague recollection, he had cherished her deeply. Yet, alas, because he left so soon, her emotional attachment to him remained rather faint.
Ji Jing, however, did not see it that way.
Early the next morning, Ji Jing got up at the crack of dawn to groom himself, and even changed into a suit...

Golden Lion Shiki, who would stop at nothing to acquire the new-style steamships, made no secret of his intentions in front of Kuro and the others. Kuro was well aware that Golden Lion Shiki harbored a deep dread of violent storms.

These items were prepared for Lin Mei, Chu Chaoyu, and Xu Wuku. Given their current cultivation levels, attempting to refine these materials into magic treasures would prove exceedingly difficult and consume far too much time. Consequently, Chu Wangshu personally imprinted all the runes and completed the refining process himself. In the future, the three of them would only need to perform a single drop of blood to bind and refine the items before use.

Once the smoke and dust finally subsided, Du Feng opened the drainage channel, allowing the molten iron to flow out. It poured precisely and squarely into the sword embryo mold. When the sword embryo reached a semi-soft state, Du Feng transferred it to the forging table, and the iron hammer began to strike with a rhythmic clanging sound.

"Are you truly going to listen to that young man named Kuro and head to the East Blue?" Dr. Indigo asked while using his instruments to examine Golden Lion Shiki's physical condition.

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying, "We actually do have a favor to ask of the Sovereign. Knowing how busy you are, just sparing a little time to give us a lecture will suffice." With that, the two detailed the matter to Zhu Ming.

This time, Wei Zhonglie immediately rallied his utmost focus, drawing out his own one-star Earth Immortal weapon, the Blazing Tiger God Saber.

Having wept for a long time, Liu Qingmei hastily released Qin Haifeng, wiped the tears from her cheeks, and looked up at him. The two exchanged a mutual smile.

Since they wished to earn more merit points, they had to hunt down more big-footed lizards. They could not simply abandon the hunt just because the distance was great. Therefore, Du Feng and Niu Er took large strides and continued their pursuit. After chasing for some distance further, they finally spotted a few scattered big-footed lizards.

Many of the techniques in Fish-Man Karate required the webbing or even the skin of a fish-man to achieve their optimal effects. Nevertheless, certain skills—such as the application of force and the sensory methods for utilizing water—were things William still believed worth adopting and studying.

"An order is perhaps too strong a word, but accompany me on a trip to Shennongjia. Just you alone, no one else is permitted to come," Master Hong said.

The bustling restaurant suddenly fell ashen and silent, as if someone had pressed the mute button. Pair after pair of eyes swung uniformly toward them, gleaming with a strange mixture of excitement and amusement.

"Because we discovered two characters inscribed on the exterior of that tomb—'Heavenly Emperor,'" Tiankui said, gritting his teeth and speaking with extreme reluctance as he noticed Qian Fanchen lowering his gaze once more.

Guo Zhiling froze in a daze, suddenly feeling that both he and many, many members of the Dragon-Tiger Army were utter fools. They had looked down upon Qian Fanchen, even secretly disparaging him behind his back, wondering if he was merely a body double hired by the Heavenly Emperor Alliance to serve as a puppet so they could lawfully usurp command of the Dragon-Tiger Army.

Lian Juan nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and with an expressionless face, followed me for a dozen meters until we neared the private ward, where he let out a soft chuckle.

"Hahaha! Even if all of you join forces, you shall be slain by my hand. Prepare yourselves!" Chu Huan burst into wild laughter.

"I believe it, I believe it! I'll believe you, is that alright?" the driver muttered discontentedly under his breath. What in the world did I do to deserve this? You were the ones who flagged down the car in the first place, and not only are you not crying after finishing the ride, you even want to hit me?

I nodded immediately and stepped aside from the doorway, letting them walk in. I did not dare ask what business brought them to my doorstep, for when the police ever came knocking, it was never a harbinger of good things.
