Chapter 105: Only a Brother

Under the careful attention of the doctor’s prescribed medication and Mu Tingye’s subtle care, the girl regained consciousness. Upon waking, she instinctively called out Mu Tingye’s name, which sent Mu Zichen, who had just arrived at the hospital, into a state of alarm. Since when had Jiujiu become so dependent on Third Uncle?

“Jiujiu, I’m your brother, Brother Zichen,” he said.

Mu Zichen?

The girl’s gaze began to focus, and sure enough, within her sight was Mu Zichen’s handsome, refined face. But what was he doing in City B this time? Had he learned about her breakup?

“Brother Zichen, why have you come?”

“I heard you were ill, and I was worried about you, so…”

Looking at him, the girl said, “Brother Zichen, you’re…”

Of course, this mission was also a gamble; she was about to embark on a perilous adventure where life and death hung in the balance.

The skilled diviner had revealed the legend of the Moon Shadow Hills dating back nine centuries, prompting Master San to decide to see it for himself. After all, although Yue Shangmei always wore an innocent expression and claimed never to lie, her words were full of falsehoods.

Moreover, with the recent activation of the Yongquan acupoint during the thousand-level trial, a total of nine acupoints had been opened. When the final point was triggered, the energy fluctuations, centered on the boundary marker, extended all the way to the middle of the suspension bridge, startling even the creatures dwelling in the water.

After all, his purpose here was to hire informants, and his funds were limited—he couldn’t afford to squander money on meaningless endeavors.

Ye Fenghe glanced at Ali, who seemed intent on ignoring everyone, before shifting his gaze toward Ye Mu.

By now, he no longer addressed Leng Ziyang with respect; it was clear this matter had dealt them a heavy blow. However, Yue Ziyun didn’t understand their quarrel in the slightest.

I haven’t told Jessica about this strange phenomenon yet because I feel there’s not much to explain. Jessica already has enough worries every day; I don’t want to burden her further with my bizarre dreams.

After the trials, only the selected prodigies would qualify to travel to Martial God City for the final competition.

Yun Yide was merely an ordinary Yunhai Realm warrior, so his speed and endurance were far inferior to Yun Jiuzhou’s.

Qingzhou Prefecture was truly chaotic. If Shen Mo hadn’t known how it had looked before he left, he might have thought he had come to the wrong place. It seemed all his years of effort had been in vain.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Qian slammed his palm fiercely onto the Heavenly Emperor’s forehead, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—the soul was swiftly sucked away.

The Xunyue bracelet emitted a faint glow, then began to hum softly. The once pristine jade bangle suddenly sprouted nine blood-red tendrils that coiled sinuously within it until they formed the shapes of nine dragon scales before settling.

This was truly infuriating. Some had indeed entered the belly of an ancient ferocious beast, and inexplicably so. It left them feeling rather frustrated.

Yes, Tang Yu had seen the flying kite and even ridden it, but it was crafted by Leng Yan, the young former elder puppeteer of the Cangwu Institute—a symbol of a master puppeteer.

As for the remaining Chen Jiahui, his true form, his body suddenly convulsed, spewing a great mouthful of fresh blood. Like a kite with a broken string, he traced a graceful arc in midair before crashing heavily off the arena stage, unable to rise for a long time.

On a cliff halfway up an ancient mountain, a lone figure sat cross-legged, enduring many days and nights of wind and rain without faltering.

Amid the crowd’s chatter, a hundred volunteers had genuinely entered, all young people constantly streaming live on their phones.

Switching to another bounty board, Kida continued selecting tasks. However, considering his own ability and concerns about Lily’s strength, he ultimately refrained from arrogantly tearing down the female fire dragon’s bounty.

Ye Qing lay dormant within this silver cocoon, seemingly unaffected by anything happening outside.

By now, her six clones had fully charged their power, aiming once more at the demons and firing six arrows in unison.

In the eyes of others, her state appeared anxious and indecisive. Thus, through the scheming of certain envious people, she became a symbol of mediocre talent, likely to be eliminated by the “Three Sacred Mountains.” Her passing the trial before had been pure luck. Now that her true nature was exposed, she was finally deemed unfit.
