Chapter 29: Liu Song Makes a Overture

The smile on Sister Zhong’s face faded, replaced by a stern look in her eyes. "Compensation? Who told you to process a resignation? He committed a crime; he must be dismissed!"

The employee replied hurriedly, "Master Liu Song from the cafeteria said to process a resignation. He claimed that since Liu Dajun has not yet been officially sentenced, it... it doesn't count as a crime. Therefore, according to the regulations, a resignation is the correct procedure."

Upon hearing this, Sister Zhong’s expression turned icy. "This Liu Song is becoming increasingly outrageous! Previously..."

Is there a simpler explanation? Looking at his mother’s serious face, Gu Fengchun felt quite helpless. The people around them, seeing this eerie place, clearly seemed somewhat ill at ease.

Hearing this, Xiao Qi obeyed as if it were a royal decree and hurriedly turned around. Soon, after a series of rustling sounds behind him, a massive, chilling sword suddenly appeared over Xiao Qi’s shoulder. The cold blade pressed against his skin, making him shiver uncontrollably.

At this moment, the sky seemed to change again. It appeared as if a great hole had been torn in the firmament, gaping like a giant mouth, swallowing all things. The rocks that had been falling to the ground and the clouds in the sky were pulled back, forming a vortex in the air.

"Yuesheng, let’s go sit somewhere else!" Zi Hao did not like this place; it made him feel a sliver of inability to see through the Yuesheng beside him, who somehow seemed to have a sweet and innocent smile.

A bolt of lightning, as thick as a barrel, appeared in the sky and struck the corpse fiercely, shattering it into pieces with a deafening roar.

"What? Five years? Was it done by the Di family of the Cold Wind Empire?" Before Xiao Qi could speak, Lin Feng jumped up like a lit firecracker and shouted.

"Accuse me? Accuse me of what? I am merely performing my duty." Xiang Jiangbei pulled his collar free from Sha Tong's grip.

"Say it once more; repeat my words!" A finger slowly traced her cheek, brushing against her skin in a way that felt both present and absent. The cold fingertip made her body tremble.

With a loud "boom," although Jing Hong’s magic power was formidable, it was no match for the Heavenly Sorrow Divine Sword and the Magic Color Pearl. She was sent flying back several yards, but she would not give up. Raising her inner energy once more, the ancient xun in her hands emitted a dazzling light as she charged at Wu Tian again.

After the work was distributed, Gu Fengchun stopped talking. He found a tripod that had not yet been photographed, located a starting point, and forced himself to memorize it carefully.

The magistrate could tell from Ye Qingcheng’s temperament that she was no ordinary person, and because of this, he did not know whether he should continue to let her kneel.

Ye Qingcheng kept a stern face, channeling a wisp of her mental energy through her heart and into Xia Xun’s body.

The troop traveled further north for quite a distance when Ula Liji suddenly appeared again, announcing that Baoyin Ulage had arrived. They could see it from afar: on a highland, a yurt was lit up, and behind it stood a line of gloomy Japanese barracks. Commander Liang estimated that to be the 34th Regiment, the vanguard of the Japanese 36th Brigade.

Although in battle, those who show no mercy to the enemy have a better chance of winning, this dark-faced young man was clearly someone who showed no mercy even to his own kind. Besides, the two had only just met—how could they be considered "his own kind"?

Because the secret guard was Xia Xun’s man, everyone had always been polite to him, which had fostered in him a sense of arrogance. However, looking at Ye Qingcheng, he immediately understood the meaning of digging one’s own grave and reaping what one sows.

After the Emperor and Du Qiu disappeared into the side hall, the mask-like, gentle smile on Nian Yun’s face collapsed instantly. The singing and dancing in the grand hall seemed insipid to her. She finished the remaining wine in her cup, excused herself from the banquet, and returned to Penglai Hall.

Perhaps realizing that it could not defeat the Blood Sea Underworld Serpent, the Golden Flame Divine Bird fought for a while longer before turning and flying away, disappearing into the horizon.

Inside, not only was the gravity four or five times that of the outside world, making it exceptionally difficult for martial artists to move, but there was also the Twelve Bronze Men Formation, specifically designed to test the strength of warriors.
