Chapter 116: The Same Scent as Hers (Part One)

Yun Shuang pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Dogtail grass is the most common of weeds; it cannot be destroyed by wildfire, and with the spring breeze, it grows again. These two children have been like the weeds by the roadside since they were little. Though they may seem unremarkable and weak, they are the most resilient of all. I believe that one day, Master Chen will be proud to have taken them as his pupils." As she spoke, Yun Shuang lifted her chin slightly, her face radiating an unmistakable sense of conviction.

The commander of the First Company no longer wished to engage in a war of words; he simply wanted a fair and impartial contest! No one objected to this proposal—after all, wasn't it just testing their core skills? Who was afraid of whom?

"No problem, it is best to be cautious." Zang Aijun took the thermometer, placed it in his mouth, and after two minutes, removed it and handed it to Lei Xiao.

With a long, sweeping reach, his arm seemed to cut through the chaotic world before others; with a relaxed motion, he shot the ball, and it slipped easily into the hoop.

In a flash, Xu Yang took down more than a dozen bodyguards. He discarded their weapons—machetes, clubs, and the like—with disdain. Nearby, another dozen unconscious bodyguards lay sprawled across the floor and tables in a tangled heap.

This punishment was strongly opposed by the student in question, but as the minority must defer to the majority, he eventually yielded.

His fist pierced through the air, and after flickering past a few dark silhouettes, one could see the hoodlums already collapsed on the ground, wailing incessantly.

Lost in thought, Zeng Xiu began to eat his porridge. The porridge was still scalding hot, so much so that even Tie Feiyu had to blow on it before taking a sip. Yet, Zeng Xiu ignored it, gulping it down as if it were cold. Murong Xiao, standing to the side, was stunned.

I feel stronger than ever before, yet I am also lonelier than ever, for I no longer have to worry about others, and I am no longer burdened.

Carrying these sweltering memories, the four began their journey home. It was the afternoon of the second day when they arrived. Ruojiang left first, intending to show concern for Ganye, the poor soul who had been covering her shift.

The secret monk puppets recently introduced by Titan City are eighth-level constructs of the physical attack type. They are essentially equivalent to an eighth-level warrior proficient in the long staff, making them perfect for tasks like home security.

By now, the wailing in the other room had ceased; presumably, the thief had been subdued by the soul-summoning powder.

Zhao Tiezhu sighed. It seemed he would have to violate traffic laws today, but he feared that if he failed to accomplish that task, Lin Wanxi would use it as an excuse to transfer him to another post.

Guan Jinlin unscrewed the bottle cap, hunched over, and leaned close to the water's surface. He filled the bottle halfway and held it up, observing it against the sunset that had not yet fully faded from the western sky.

Zhao Tiezhu stopped in his tracks and looked back at Han Feng. He believed Han Feng wouldn't speak like that without reason; there must be a deeper conspiracy afoot.

After giving her brother the medicine, Zhilan’s mind steadied significantly. She ordered Huaxin to bring out the wound salve she had prepared earlier and quickly stanched the bleeding for the two men. Following that, Zhilan wrote out individual prescriptions based on their conditions and ordered someone to take them away to brew the medicine.

The ambushing spirit beast fell backward into the seawater, its body pinned beneath the Three-Tailed Giant Rock Turtle. Unable to move, it could only struggle violently, thrashing at the surface and sending up layers of spray.

This was, after all, the Flame Emperor's Sword. Although it was not a primordial god’s divine artifact, it should have been the weapon held by the Flame Emperor before he ascended to godhood.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Zhao Tiezhu would never do such a thing.

Even though the sandy plains teemed with animals at night, it insisted on bypassing what was near to hunt monkeys in the forest instead.

"In what way is it complicated?" Lin Mubai’s heart, which had just settled, rose again. One had to understand that the Third Prince and the Lin family were as closely linked as lips and teeth. If any harm were to befall him, the Lin family would be in peril as well.
