Chapter 52: Uncle, did you sneak into Mommy's bed just like I used to when I was little?

The hangover headache felt like a blunt instrument repeatedly striking his temples, and Shang Linyuan opened his eyes in a daze.
The first thing that came into view was an unfamiliar ceiling with delicate beige patterns.
The tip of his nose was lingering with a fresh scent of Cape Leadwort, mixed with a faint sweet fragrance, completely different from the cedarwood note he was familiar with.
Zhang He and the others had no choice but to fight desperately to push forward left and right, but the effect was limited after all, and still a great number of soldiers were exposed beneath the enemy's iron hooves.
"Huh? The soles of the feet feel a bit different here. The other spots are quite soft with mud and sand, but this place is actually hard as a rock. There is definitely something wrong!" Wu Tian crouched down to examine the condition of the lakebed beneath his feet.
Even after the end of the Primordial Era, their family still secured a place among the top ten ancient clans during the Upper Ancient Era under the name of the Divine Phoenix.
The remaining Ancestral Witches and Chiyou panicked, feeling that this was not a fair battle at all, but rather a one-sided slaughter.
Taoist Yangmei recounted everything contained in the jade slip he had received not long ago, word for word.
Changtian watched the backs of the two silently. He could tell that they had something on their minds, only he did not know what it actually was.
Over the next two days, Lin Mu began to continuously break down iron ore to provide the materials needed for the construction of two new types of weapons. Meanwhile, Teacher Gu led most of the members to continue modifying the giant whale.
Through this period of busyness and the joint efforts of Lin Mu and a large number of survivors, the underground space had been expanded immensely. The various functional areas were beginning to take shape, the internal order was well-maintained, and everyone was assigned to the work they were responsible for.
To save their lives, the disciples of the Cangsha Tomb who had narrowly escaped had no other choice than to spread the news about everything that had already surfaced in Jinling.
A casual remark by Luo Yuyi brought endless repercussions to the Jinling vanguard, and even almost made Luo Yuhui vomit blood from anger.
Not only were the chief and deputy directors of the academy arguing with one another over whether he should stay or leave, but under the manipulation of certain people, related waves of gossip also stirred among the outer courtyard disciples, even though Sun Cheng, Yu Yuan, and Bai Han tried hard to debunk the rumors and explain the truth.
Scanning these flowers, plants, and trees with his spiritual sense, he found that the tree spirits within them had grown a hundredfold stronger compared to the previous year. The most crucial part was that they had all awakened; although still quite tender, they were already able to rely on their instincts to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to strengthen themselves.
The military shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending the outer edge of the galaxy and was simply unable to attend to the various bizarre events happening in the central sector at the moment. Therefore, dispatching their own men to spy on the intelligence of the Coalition was their only choice.
When it was teleported near the Burning Heaven Realm, its overwhelming aura made the light of the surrounding stars dim drastically, causing space to tremble. It arrived aggressively without concealing its presence at all, making one's hair stand on end.
When Lord Laozi cast his ring, the Monkey King was engaged in a fierce battle with Erlang Shen and the six brothers of Meishan. How could he know that a ring harder than his monkey head would plunge from the sky? It struck his celestial spirit, making him unsteady on his feet, and he took a tumble. When he climbed up and tried to escape, he was caught up by the pitch-black Sky-Howling Celestial Dog, which took a bite right on the calf, causing him to fall again.
Perhaps very few people would pay attention to such details, but that did not mean no one noticed. The Jinling City of today was the Jiangning Prefecture of later generations, containing the two major counties of Jiangning and Shangyuan on the east and west of the Tang Dynasty's capital.
The Ape Emperor, completely possessed by the inner demon, had long ago sold himself and his entire clan to the Demon Realm in order to ascend to the Sovereign rank, obtaining the promise that his entire clan would be demonized into demon apes.
"This is?" Catching sight of the token in Xia Yuhan's hand, a strange look flashed across Xia Yuwei's eyes, which then returned to calm as she said indifferently.
He figured that as long as he could reach the capital, enter the Imperial Guards, and pledge allegiance to Empress Gao as a towering tree of reliance, there would still be great hope for him to enter the court as a central minister in the future.
