Chapter 58 Number One on the Rankings

Currently, the highest-level mission in the Mercenary Center is the SS-rank mission to rescue Dr. Xia Qihua at Liaocheng University.

When this mission first appeared, it was only S-rank. After two top-ranked teams accepted it and failed to return, it was upgraded to SS-rank.

Later, the Izumo Team accepted the mission, but when they returned yesterday, they heard they had arrived too late; the laboratory was completely deserted, and Dr. Xia was nowhere to be found.

Yet, this morning, they indeed saw this...

However, after merely a single bite, her originally fair face was already dyed with an alluring blush.

Only then did everyone notice Chen Li's abnormality. The Century Church fell silent once more, and the crowd could not help but retreat, keeping their distance from Chen Li.

Originally, he had no intention of helping. After all, this matter had nothing to do with him. If Han Kuotian hadn't promised to take him to the Kangle Palace to play tomorrow, he wouldn't have bothered to come.

When Xuanwu Yi reached this point, a look of difficult choice appeared on his face, but in the end, he still picked up the Mysterious Iron Black Crystal.

Jun Yi returned to the cave to meditate. The fish had been enjoyed by the White Consort, leaving her with no choice but to stay hungry and be forced into inanition.

In the previous stages, cultivators only had a single life to risk, but once they reached the Nascent Soul stage, things were different.

A trace of anxiety flashed across Tang Qing's eyes. Could it be that the other party had called him here just to beat around the bush?

First feeding each other a mouthful of food here, then picking out a piece of vegetable for the other there—while one showed off, the other followed suit. Neither Lu Ruotian nor Rong Hang was willing to admit defeat, which gave Rong Ling a tremendous headache.

Later, they were discharged from the army together. Some team members still carried lifelong, indelible wounds, and lacking civilian survival skills coupled with abrasive tempers, they could not integrate into normal working environments.

Next, the summoning of the second military commander would begin. As a golden radiance rose from the general-summoning platform, Bai Suling's eyes lit up.

Later, he managed to acquire a Wind Spirit Coffin from Gaoyi, but it had already been placed on Dahai. Moreover, he had previously experimented and found it impossible to remove the Wind Spirit Coffin from Dahai's neck, resulting in the current lack of a matching spirit coffin for Xirou.

Knowing that her husband was having an affair, Chen Yuanyuan gathered evidence and filed for divorce, taking all of the wealthy businessman's assets for herself and leaving him penniless.

Meanwhile, Nangong Wan's attack using the Great Void Six-Extreme Mantra slammed violently into the barrier, producing an extremely high-frequency roaring sound that caused continuous buzzing in everyone's ears.

Seeing that the newcomer was so enthusiastic—not only introducing himself but also giving such kind warnings—Ye Luo smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Lin. I originally hail from beyond the mountains, and my surname is Ye, given name Luo. As I am newly arrived at the Earth Tiger Courtyard, I hope to receive much guidance from you in the future, Fellow Daoist Lin."

Ni Sichong disapproved of representatives from various independent provinces sitting together at the same table for discussions. Zhang Xun was utterly bent on securing the military governorship of Jiangsu and desperately wished to drive Feng away, thus sharing the same attitude as Ni.

There was no help for it. Whenever Mu Lan was asked about subsequent plans, she would clamor shut, claiming it was to prevent the premature leakage of information.

Before long, four gigantic green leaves emerged from beneath their feet, wrapping tightly around them like a cage, sealing every gap.

Still accompanied by the two mermaids, Chuwu sneaked over from the ocean. Just as he stepped onto the enemy's island, Chuwu discovered numerous corpses of half-beasts. These half-beasts had human upper bodies and bovine lower limbs, with some even bearing horns upon their heads.

Therefore, he could no longer let Hou Yi babble nonsense here. Tonight, he had to keep his spirits up and closely watch Hou Yi. If another incident like this occurred, the Master of the Si Family would surely blame them.

Recalling how Wei Zhuokang had covered her eyes back at the princess's estate, feeling that he did not resemble a ruthless villain who slaughtered the innocent indiscriminately, the possibility of the second scenario seemed much higher.

Yuedu smiled slightly at Mutian and said nothing; between brothers, such polite formalities were unnecessary. Regarding the Moon God's actions, he felt equal fondness and did not find anything improper about it.
