Chapter 59: The Other-Shore Manor

Overjoyed, Shao Han almost forgot about this entirely. Prompted by Xue Tian, he immediately and excitedly pulled up the skill learning menu, where two brand-new skills appeared before his eyes.

"Director Yuan, what major issue has come up that made you look for us in such a rush?" As soon as they entered Yuan Wei's office, Tang Ning took the lead and asked.

"Yan'er," he cried out eagerly, pressing down over her as he panted like a wild and impatient beast, poised and waiting for the final release.

"Bizarre?" Xiao Qi let out a rare, cold chuckle. Coming to the Di family this time truly proved worthwhile. For such an object to appear on Madam Di's person, that indeed would be the real mystery.

Ye Yi was momentarily stunned, recalling Tianlan's unfathomable and ghostly sword techniques just moments ago... Indeed, no matter how unwilling he was to admit it, possessing such supreme skill meant he would be of no help here and would only get in the way.

Long Tianyu had just been about to make a move—after all, there were still three seats left on the Earth Dragon King, and it would be foolish not to take one—when he instantly sensed a figure darting toward him.

And the aura emitted by this creature, which bore a striking resemblance to the Yinglong of Earth, could belong to none other than Ruoya! But where had the martial soul jade plaque containing Ruoya's divine consciousness gone?

Gu Zifeng was deeply cunning, so she had always guarded against him carefully, yet she had consistently forgotten that Tang Ning was just as cunning.

The Dragon Fire Flowing Cloud Sword in Old Li's hand once again emitted a sword hum resembling the roar of a dragon. A visible ripple of air suddenly spread outward from the blade, rushing directly toward the Flow Speaker's head.

The Fiery Red Python, holding the Snake-Warming Grass in its mouth, let out a muffled hiss, then—to the astonishment of everyone present—turned around and burrowed into the ground, vanishing without a trace.

"Hmph, the Dao of Heaven is vast, and retribution is swift. Do not complain of bad fortune in the future; the road ahead is long, so let's wait and see," the middle-aged man dusted off his long robe and muttered quietly to the group.

Seeing Patriarch Anduo talking about her, Han Xiyun hurriedly stood up, causing the shrimp in her mouth to drop back into her bowl.

Sheng Luoshen's detached gaze fell upon Xia Chenxi. The stiff corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and his previously gloomy expression now looked considerably better.

Witnessing Master Lei's selfless nobility of spirit, Lin Qi held an even deeper reverence for him in his heart. This seemingly slovenly old man was truly not what he appeared to be on the surface.

Qin Chuan ignored the soldier's harsh and sarcastic remarks, thinking to himself that if he survived, he would surely have Che Ying severely punish this soldier—at the very least, by giving him a few slaps across the face to teach him a lesson he would not forget.

Though Jin Yaochen tried his best to avoid eye contact with Li Sihui, and despite appearing utterly cold and ruthless, she still detected turmoil within his eyes.

Not long after returning to the ward, Ye Qianlin was the first to regain consciousness. The heavy smell of disinfectant washed over him, filling his nasal passages.

Using cheats was indeed overpowered, but this was her first time experiencing firsthand an explosive-output cheat. Previously, they had always used high-vitality healing gear, never having experienced such a wildly offensive cheat before.

Moreover, even if they sought accountability afterward, Chu Nan can simply claim it was a chaotic battle where accidental injury was inevitable.

Did she look like someone afraid of the Murong Corporation? If she were afraid, she would never have proposed this plan in the first place.

Haoran raised no objections. Facing two goalkeepers, Haoran achieved a ten-out-of-eight scoring rate. Although it did not reach Chu Nan's level of perfection, it was truly flawless already, considering Haoran had only just learned the Chu-style Kick a moment ago and had not yet mastered it to perfection.

Just as he felt his pent-up fury reaching its absolute limit—so much so that his hands and limbs twitched, making him truly wish to cast aside all reason, give Mu Yanzhao a sound beating, and throw him out the door—Mu Yanzhao finally seemed satisfied, took his leisurely leave, and departed.

The sun slowly inclined, casting warm, orange-red rays of light that slanted inward and illuminated Ellie's smiling face. Looking back, Ellie resembled an elf bathing in holy light, and a subtle ripple of emotion slowly stirred deep within Ye Mo's heart.

"That miraculous doctor is already dead, and as for his descendants... I hear they are attending university in City A." Ren Yilai seemed to have had a close relationship with that divine doctor, knowing even where his descendants were attending college.

Putting the lingering unease deep in her heart aside, Gu Wanting began preparing for the twins' "grasping the autumn" birthday ritual.

"Coming from chaos, simply because the Heavenly Court has emerged," Tianyi chuckled softly, finding this rather interesting.

Little did she know that after Cinderella married the prince, they ultimately divorced due to incompatible living habits. Because Cinderella hired an extraordinarily good lawyer, she won the lawsuit, securing the house, the car, the cash, and the yacht, whereas the prince later went completely bankrupt due to the subprime mortgage crisis after investing heavily in real estate.

The coordination between Chu Nan and Miao Xi became increasingly seamless. With just the slightest hint from Chu Nan, Miao Xi immediately understood everything, though her movements grew increasingly rugged, making Chu Nan feel a faint urge for a nosebleed.

Turning to look around, Wang Yu wore an expression of utter helplessness. The so-called famous doctors in the vicinity all lowered their heads to avoid his gaze, while Qi Zhangguan let out a soft sigh for the very first time, a trace of exhaustion faintly visible between his brows.

"Are you disappointed? Would you like to..." Ellie opened her pair of beautiful eyes and slowly leaned closer.

The one who made the move was Chen Xiao, who delivered a full-force kick straight to Wang Qi's shinbone. Chen Xiao disliked idle chatter; since Wang Qi was unwilling to negotiate amicably, he would simply take direct revenge.

"Vile creature," Feng Ti laughed heartily, returning to the ship's cabin. Inside the cabin sat another middle-aged man with a hooked nose, a square face, and a precious sword hanging at his waist.

After the door closed, I quietly crept forward. Scarcely had I approached the thatched hut when I heard a faint sound drifting from within.

I sucked in a sharp breath through my teeth. At that very moment, the black snake coiled as a bracelet around my wrist flashed with a scarlet gleam in its eyes, instantly springing to life like a swimming serpent before darting forward and transforming into a pitch-black figure.

Looking into Ruan Mian's calm, wave-less, and detached eyes, he panicked in utter helplessness, no longer knowing what to do.

Many of those present held the title of imperial scholar, so they naturally recognized the brilliance of this composition. Raising their eyes to look at the signature, they saw it was the work of Pei Shaodian, which explained why it was so astonishing.
