At this moment, she was the saddest person in the world.

Yu Ling was lost in thought when her phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Li Wan.

The first words she heard after answering were: "Where did you go?"

Three chillingly cold words.

Yu Ling was already so accustomed to it that just hearing the voice was enough to picture the exact expression on Li Wan's face.

Hesitating for a moment, she changed "I went to see someone" on the tip of her tongue to: "I went to see a friend, and now I'm on my way home."

"Come back later..."

"N—no!" For the first time in his life, Master Shuiyue stammered and found himself unable to answer a patient's question.

Qingcheng and Li Luochen replied to him in unison once again, causing Qingcheng to look at Li Luochen with a hint of surprise.

The man in black instantly felt an overwhelming pressure bearing down upon him. Abandoning his previous dismissive attitude, he turned solemn and side-stepped to evade Feng Wu's attack.

Seeing this, Yun Zheng figured that the terms they were discussing were merely private matters between the two of them. If it involved mundane things like money or status, Yun Ye would definitely have come downstairs to tell him or made the decision right away.

With Mengqi keeping him company at the hospital every day, he didn't dwell too much on his mother, simply assuming she was just angry and acting out on purpose.

He smiled, and as his body naturally leaned back, he felt something poking directly into his waist.

However, Jiang Linghong didn't hear her voice at all. His eyes were fixed stubbornly on Tao Miaoyun. He couldn't understand why the person he knew down to his very bones felt so unfamiliar at this moment—so unfamiliar that it gave him the illusion he might lose her at any second.

Le Hanhan had also used a child as a means to step through the threshold of the Xing family back then. Although she didn't get the result she wanted in the end, she had indeed resorted to using a child.

Even though she wasn't told the exact identity of the person inside, she had at least given a kind warning, hadn't she?

The venue for these negotiations alternated between the two courier stations. Daxi Fengshan and Qin Yan were still fine, drinking tea with composure every day, but the other officials were a different story, arguing fiercely with no end in sight.

Meanwhile, Gui Jiunian on Divine Turtle Island also spotted the predicament of Gui Bawanjiu. If he didn't rescue him now, it would probably be too late.

Gu Nian paced around the room twice, walked over to the French window, and pushed it wide open. A breath of fresh air immediately blew in, prompting her to let out a deep, relieved sigh.

All the bones in Mo Qi's body were shattered, leaving him unable to move on the ground, forced to watch helplessly as the figure walked toward him.

Noticing Ye Yizhou's bizarre expression, Xie Qianlan looked past the wooden bathtub. She saw wisps of chilling vapor rising from the water, and directly reached in with her hand.

Long Zui and Cheng Shilan, on the other hand, wore calm expressions, only occasionally casting pitying glances at Hou Feihang.

She gently stroked the smile curving the corners of "her" lips—a perfect eight-tooth smile. Although it wasn't the kind of breathtaking smile that could topple cities, it at least looked pleasing enough.

Even though the power scaling collapse in Dragon Ball Heroes was far more severe than in Dragon Ball Super, one had to remember that this was reality now, and Lei Chen had no way of knowing whether those individuals truly possessed such formidable combat power.

"This deity can see nothing at all. If you want to know, go look for yourself!" Jie Li let out a cold snort and fell silent, leaving the rest to exchange glances in dismay.

Finally, Jiang Li answered the call, causing Mo Qingqian's heart to ease slightly. On one hand, she kept Jiang Li talking to buy herself some time; on the other, she bolted straight for the staircase. Throughout the conversation with Jiang Li, she had to mask her ragged breathing for fear that he might notice the slightest trace of anomaly.

Using innate abilities placed a certain burden on the physical body, which was why wild-innate-ability users generally avoided maintaining a beastman or fully beastified state, resorting to it only in critical situations.

I stayed to the side. Everything I knew about the affairs between Li Yu and Feng Dan came entirely from hearsay, leaving me momentarily unsure of whom to believe.

Yet this time, the memories in her dream did not belong to the snake valley orphan who had possessed her body, but were instead fragments of her own memories from when she was seven years old.
