Chapter 36: I Have Come to Apologize

Song Chunmei reached out to Deling that evening, informing her that Liu Feng had scheduled their meeting and would contact her in advance. She then relayed Liu Feng’s message.

Deling had already steeled herself and remained silent, which took Song Chunmei by surprise.

"Since you’ve agreed to this, don't you dare mess it up. If you provoke him, neither of us will have a good ending."

Deling let out a mocking laugh and hung up.

...

It seemed to have been lurking in the depths of the swamp all along, its size far surpassing that of any other loach. Even now, it had not fully surfaced; only its head was visible, and it was its tentacle that had seized my ankle.

An invisible ripple suddenly emanated from Sikong’s fingertips, instantly enveloping the entire abandoned factory.

At this moment, Zhao Xiuyuan had changed into a red groom's attire, with the ghost bride following closely behind him.

Quietly, I noticed the sketch of the murderer lying on the table and slowly edged toward it.

He knew, however, that such an undertaking required immense financial backing, and he had very little money—he couldn't even afford to take on a single project.

I had heard that he had been training in the Southern Border and had even become a regiment commander. To be such a young commander, his abilities must be exceptional.

I hadn't wanted to answer, knowing that after taking her call, she would surely demand to know why I hadn't returned to her yet.

A-Jie, still trapped in his hallucination, felt no pain at all. Thinking his discomfort was merely due to nerves, he kept muttering to himself.

But she no longer cared about such things; if she didn't find a way to vent the frantic panic in her heart immediately, she feared she would give herself away.

I thought to myself, this all sounds so bizarre. As a shaman, I am accustomed to dealing with phenomena that defy scientific explanation, and having experienced so much recently, my capacity for acceptance is much higher than it once was.

In truth, if one listened carefully, although Ghost Butterfly intentionally masked her tone, her voice was quite beautiful—it was only her inherent coldness that made one overlook its charm. Fu Tianmo’s voice, however, was so pleasant that one tended to ignore its chill.

At that moment, drawing on a sudden, inexplicable burst of strength, Lao Lai flipped over, let out a tiger-like roar, and raised his arms, forcibly blocking the sudden strike of Chiyou’s power.

Furthermore, Tie Shan warned Lou Yi that someone had attempted to enter the valley but had been thwarted by the formations Lou Yi had set up. The intruder’s cultivation level was likely on par with that of the old man from before. Where there is anomaly, there is evil; he urged Lou Yi to find a solution quickly.

"No way, that’s highly unlikely. The dealers here are top-tier gambling experts. To accurately judge the cards while they are shuffling—the skill required for that would at least be on par with someone qualified to enter the World Gambling Championship," someone remarked, shaking their head.

His anger was scorching his self-esteem, twisting it further. He even harbored wicked thoughts, momentarily wishing to kill Luan Yuefeng. Yet, once the thought emerged, it brought him no guilt, which only served to show how truly distorted his character had become.

Huang Yubo felt the icy chill in the other’s eyes and narrowed his own. He knew that with his current strength, he stood no chance; after all, he ranked dead last among the new students.

Near the coast, the land was vast and sparsely populated, with stretches of ten or twenty miles devoid of any villages. Thus, the place known as Three Hundred Bows was almost entirely isolated from the outside world.

Inside the ancient castle lay an underground palace, strewn with precious spices, and in the depths of the great hall stood three thrones.

"Chips!" Chang Gexing said simply. Cooperation is always built on a foundation of equality; cooperation between unequal parties is merely subjugation.

Bai Yulin spoke in a calm voice, causing a glimmer of light to flash in the eyes of everyone present.
