Chapter 103: The Firewood Must Not Be Wasted
The Jews erupted into an uproar. Many of them did not even realize what was happening as the soldiers marched toward them. Rome had been devoid of such heavy-handed authority for so long that these Jews had forgotten that anyone would truly threaten them with force. It was not until the leaders were apprehended that the others began to panic and flee the scene. However, the surrounding soldiers would not let them go. They trapped the Jews in a confined space.
"We were just doing some simple morning exercise. You know, exercising at this hour is truly wonderful for the body. You should try getting up early and giving it a go sometime, really," Rong Jin said, picking up the chess pieces while speaking to Feng Ruhuang and Nangong Ming.
"Hmph! Your attitude is decent enough, otherwise, just watch how I'd stir up trouble for you two!" Mu Sha tilted her chin up, speaking with a triumphant smirk.
After drifting in and out of sleep, Feng Ruhuang woke to find the sun had already set, the room bathed in a crimson sunset glow. Beside her, Nangong Ming was still nowhere to be seen.
"Because my techniques are incredibly ferocious, and I once sparred with a celestial soldier—at full power, I directly caused that soldier’s demise. Back in the mortal realm, my control over those moves was quite poor. Since we were merely sparring, I didn't want us to damage our rapport," Li Chengfeng admitted with a smile.
The man’s words caused a sudden, overwhelming sense of sorrow to grip Feng Ruhuang’s heart, manifesting instantly as tears in her eyes.
"Master!" Li Chengfeng cried out in anguish, his face streaming with tears as he stared blankly toward the direction of Thunder Desolation City.
Dragging his feet, he stubbornly waited until the person delivering the clothes arrived, then found a new excuse to linger and wait for Yin Yi to emerge.
Having leveled up so significantly during this cultivation session, she imagined that anyone who saw her upon her exit would be shocked and utterly at a loss for words.
Yun Jingchu paused for a moment before replying in a stiff voice, "...Thank you." With that, she lowered the curtain, shielding herself from the smiling face that stirred such strange sensations in her heart—or more precisely, a pair of smiling eyes, a pair of smiling lips, and half a silver mask.
The entire night, I was ensnared by this cruel topic, my breathing labored. It wasn't until just before sleep that I received a sudden call from Lian Pian, which jolted me from my heavy, mournful thoughts.
In an instant, the momentum on the court shifted to Wei Yilin’s side, leaving Oni Jujiro struggling to keep up.
Just then, everyone felt the void suddenly twist, and the next moment, a blood-red coffin descended from the sky, hurtling downward to envelop everything below.
At that moment, the Great Dao of the universe intertwined, and the essence of the Dao drifted forth, wrapping around the infant as if he were a celestial babe.
Now, he finally had no strength left. The seal within his body was indeed still there, but he had no way to break it. As previously stated, if he were to lift the seal, his physical body would be the first to collapse under the strain.
Luo Ya’s eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile. Judging by the Fire Qilin from earlier, it seemed the species here were quite similar to the mythical beasts of the Huaxia legends from his past life.
Superman seemed somewhat enraged; he let out a great shout and suddenly opened his mouth. A gust of frigid wind blew, and the super-cooled air instantly froze everything in the vicinity.
After all, Nezha was the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl and wielded two supreme innate spiritual treasures; Ao Bing was naturally no match for him.
Outside the court, all the Seigaku regulars watched Wei Yilin’s serve with intense focus; even Fuji had opened his usually narrowed eyes.
"I am already aware of your business with Queen Industries. As it happens, Thea was just here, so... even if you stripped naked and begged me to sleep with you, I wouldn't agree!" Su Bai said with a straight face.
Han Fei had not expected that he would not have to go looking for trouble, as they had sought him out themselves. However, that was just as well; it saved him the trouble of running around to find them.
