Volume One, Chapter 55: Unable to Stop

Expecting him to bring the medicinal pill, she waited all the way until nightfall.
Having given up hope, she took out a pill and was just about to swallow it when a knock sounded at the courtyard gate.
She extended her hand straight toward Su Yiyang. How could nearly twenty years of neglect and indifference be resolved by just a few words from someone?
Baiming Ye's mother was reluctant to part with Yiyi and Tong Kai, but looking at her own parents, it was obvious they did not want Yiyi and Tong Kai staying at their house for long. She wanted to go along with them, yet felt it would be inappropriate to leave her father-in-law and mother-in-law behind.
"Why are there so many caves in these mountains? This is my first time seeing such natural limestone caves. It always gives me the feeling of having time-traveled." Du Ziyue stretched her neck, looking curiously at the pitch-black cave ahead.
After all, these alien creatures had already been driven into a desperate corner, making it impossible for them to regroup and launch a joint operation.
After Li Chen withdrew, Zhou Hong sat by the lamplight for half the night, systematically reviewing everything that had happened in the Huai'an and Huainan salt administration from beginning to end, suspecting that Li Chen had not told the truth at all.
In truth, although she felt somewhat saddened and annoyed by Xuan Yuan Longyin's lack of trust, she also knew that he had simply fallen into the trap set by the God of Worms.
"Who was sent?" Lin Xingmo hurriedly changed the subject. Her past experience had taught her a profound lesson: if Qin Yue got jealous, the consequences would be extremely severe.
Tan Yue appeared to be heavily injured; the right side of her body was soaked in blood, and her voice was weak and devoid of strength.
"Great-grandfather." As soon as Moyouyou stepped into the bamboo grove, she waved at Bai Aoxian, who was living in front of the wooden cabin.
Though his heart was reluctant to part with Muhang, he had no choice but to hurry over to the Rising Firmament Palace's camp to handle those official matters.
The security guards who had just run off to the other side to search heard He Xuan's words and immediately rushed over.
Lan Yingchen's words were not spoken to flatter or coax Xuyuan; that was genuinely how he felt in his heart.
Yet Si Nan did not like him and could only regard him as an elder brother. Perhaps this parting would allow Jian Rong to let go and seek out a good match anew.
This caravan had traded between the City of Ten Thousand Beasts and the City of Falling Phoenix for years, and they were very familiar with the two major families of Falling Phoenix City, the Bai family and the Li family.
Every time he killed a zombie, Chu Bai could sense a faint, pleasant sensation spreading through his body. He knew this was the feeling of energy being absorbed into his flesh and blood. With each unit of energy absorbed, his physical body grew a fraction stronger. Once a hundred units were fully absorbed, a qualitative transformation would occur, sending his physical fitness soaring to a much higher level.
After all, the boundaries among the various clans were extremely distinct: demons were demons, humans were humans, ghosts were ghosts, and devils were devils.
Many families with children currently in school also racked their brains to get close to He Xuan or He's mother, hoping to glean some secret recipe for improving academic performance.
Yunyan looked at Sheng Zuo in surprise, then turned her gaze to Wang Liya. What did this mean? Who in their right mind would throw away meat that delivered itself right to their doorstep?
"Mo Ziye, I never expected you to be so superficial as to believe the words of an ant. It seems that after refining pills for all these years, you've even forgotten that medicinal pills have a maximum of nine revolutions. I advise you to go home and brush up on the basics of alchemy before you come out here to refine pills," Qinghe taunted sarcastically.
Li Xiaoxiao looked over the array before her: the Li family brothers, along with two great-uncle elders. They were truly formidable, having gathered all the influential figures of the Li family together.
If one's luck were slightly worse, it would be effortless to perish here. It was truly no easy feat for this disciple of his to have survived until now.
However, Pang Shuo neither dodged nor retreated, nor did he discard his shield. Instead, he fiercely kicked upward with his left foot against the tip of the shield. In an instant, the vertically held shield was flipped horizontally upward, blocking the blade of the sword with pinpoint precision.
