Chapter 35: What If the Original Owner’s Ex-Boyfriend Comes Knocking?

When I woke up, the room had returned to its original state. The meal tray was gone, as if I had never eaten at all. Gritting my teeth, I jumped toward the toilet, lifted the lid, and flushed it quickly.

"I can keep ice crystals floating in mid-air while dealing with enemies; that doesn't consume much of my energy. However, if I have to move the ice crystals while fighting enemies and protecting the person on them, I am incapable. It is highly likely I would lose control of the ice crystals," Jing Zhonghua added to what Katrina had said.

She turned back. Behind her lay a mountain hollow, pitted and scarred, with discarded pots and pans scattered everywhere. Only a short while ago, this place had been bustling, filled with the sounds of people and horses.

Chen Rong wailed and laughed for a while before Wang Hong forcibly restrained her, making her lie flat and close her eyes.

After all, there was little food left in the city, and people were dying of hunger every day. Under these circumstances, there was simply no way to take in two outsiders.

Yet, in the Destiny Continent, such secret manuals for body refinement were laid out before him as casually as magazines or weekly journals on Earth.

Yan Guichen snatched the unconscious Song Ziyue from the backseat; the entire process took no more than the blink of an eye.

The surrounding disciples of the Fire God Temple all lowered their heads. Gu Chen’s words had left them without a temper.

As he watched, Gu Chen gradually entered a focused state. He did not seek to master these true formulas; he merely looked at their contents mechanically, word for word. In this way, the Heaven-Mending Dao would consciously analyze the material and extract the essence of the true power from the energy seeds. He did not need to concern himself with the process.

"Really? How do you know that, Lord Luoyu?!" Hattori Chiyuki’s expression instantly became excited.

Madam Bai Sun explained offhandedly, but no one took her words to heart. Once everyone had gathered, the group drove their carts back to the village separately.

Lin Miaojiao chatted for a few moments at the doorway before returning to the kitchen. After Fan Jiabao finished pasting the New Year decorations on every house, he took the remaining paste home.

"That goes without saying," Fan Hu promised with absolute certainty, before leaving with his attendants.

Whenever Xiao Baoyin returned to his mansion, Princess Nanyang would wait at the gate regardless of the weather—a story often praised in Luoyang.

Moreover, in the process of dealing with such matters, Wu Jiashan still possessed a certain sense of measure and certainty.

It was not until the laboratory began to deform that Deadpool realized there was an artificial intelligence hidden in the facility capable of chatting with him.

Laughter rang out like thunder, startling a bird that had just landed on a branch in the courtyard. It took flight in a panic, circling once before spreading its wings and soaring away.

The logic was simple: Yang Zhong’s forces consisted mostly of infantry, and they were traveling along the main road. Their position on the battlefield was the easiest to expose, so Hou Jing was bound to come and test them.

Behind the infantry formation, in front of Wuyuan City, Li Daoyuan received the order while commanding the infantry and the heavy siege crossbows.

However, after a series of maneuvers, he realized not only could he not find a flaw, but Zhou Tong was suppressing him relentlessly, dragging him into a direct confrontation that left him increasingly disheveled.

In May, Adolf Hitler dispatched the German army to begin massing at the Czech border, engaging in military intimidation.

"I’ve been waiting for you for a long time—is there any more?" Setting down the empty food box, the Warring States daimyo licked his fingers, still unsatisfied. This pose would surely be worth a fortune from a wealthy patron.

At the edge of the distant horizon, Yang Ye looked at the Taoyou Sword of the Reincarnation Sword Domain before him, his expression heavy.

As the young man’s voice faded, he took a step. With a thunderous boom, the space where he stepped collapsed instantly, and the youth vanished from where he stood.

"Thank you for the reminder, Chief of Staff." Colonel Stitch buried his head in his arms again, leaving only his eyes visible.

Meanwhile, figures flashed across the entire Qianyu City, all of them darting toward Yang Ye.

"You try it!" Gomonovich said to a burly, polar bear-like guard.

A sword of the Son of Heaven, forged by a master craftsman and capable of cutting through iron, had actually been knocked away by an ordinary wooden hairpin?

The others on his team also wore expressions of regret. Most of the exploration parties had withdrawn, but since Qin Feng had never appeared, there was only one possibility: he had perished in the Ten Thousand Lotus Lake.

"Ye Yuan, seeing the devastation outside the mine, it seems you all went through a battle as well," Shi Xinglong asked.

The soldier responsible for delivering the order looked at the deputy with deep emotion. There were few orders that a superior would swear upon their life to uphold, and such situations were rare. It was the first time the messenger had encountered such a scene.

At this moment, another thought suddenly sprouted in Li Mengyao’s mind. As soon as she thought this, the "storyline" captured by the supernatural camera underwent a new change.

"Lin Chong on horseback, this is no joke. Looking at the entire Water Margin, the title of number one in mounted combat belongs to Instructor Lin!" Wu Da said preemptively.

Because he was the commander, Zhang Feng could clearly see at this moment that there were fifteen team members in his group. They needed to kill ten Remnant Dream Puppets to achieve the dungeon mission objective.

"Of course not. We all welcome your return. It’s just that they all said you were dead. Only I kept believing that with your power, Lord Heiyu, you would surely be fine." The old man immediately stepped forward, speaking respectfully while clearing a path for Heiyu.

With an evil, wicked smile, Mu Yunyi’s sharp gaze locked onto Feng Lingyue, wanting to see how long she could keep up the act of being virtuous.

"Hehe, of course I was lying to you!" Yao Meng playfully stuck out her delicate tongue, causing Zhang Feng’s heart to skip a beat.

With a goal in mind, the road ahead no longer seemed endless. A moment later, the two finally reached the hill, which was only a few yards high.

Jiang Yunshen glanced at her, his thin lips pressed together. He slammed the teacup in his hand against the wall and rose to leave.

Luo Huixue feigned mystery, leaving only a sentence: "Then go ask Father yourself." With that, she laughed and ran off with Xian Yun.

Zhang Liang suddenly widened his eyes, and a strange light flickered within them. He slowly brought his hands together; the Reincarnation Bead and the Yin-Yang Mirror intertwined and spiraled, with chaotic light constantly flowing to form a massive ring of light.

Zhang Liang bowed; Chu Lin had always treated him well, not only remembering the time he spent training but also personally escorting him to Jianyang Peak.

Zhou Zhenqing frowned. Every martial artist had their own secrets. Since Fu Hongfei wanted to know Ye Chen’s secrets, could it be that he had discovered something?

Zhang Nianzu then asked in confusion: "Why?" This wasn't a question of who could beat whom. Old Jiang had once said it wasn't convenient for him to intervene on behalf of the Thirteen Fragrances, which was why the matter with the steel fork happened later, and why people like himself were implicated. If Old Jiang had been willing to step in from the start, none of this would have happened.
