Chapter 32: Galo’s Confusion

Deep within the ancient castle, the crystal chandeliers shimmered brilliantly, casting the velvet-draped hall in a light as bright as day.

The study was vast and silent, save for the occasional crackle of the firewood in the fireplace. The air was filled with the subtle, elegant fragrance of rare incense.

Galo sat alone on a wide velvet sofa, his long legs crossed gracefully, fingers tapping rhythmically and unconsciously on the armrest.

The glow from the crystal chandelier flowed over his deep crimson hair, outlining his nearly flawless features.

At the very moment Tang Yi commanded the Western Alliance warship to launch its attack, the ship’s phoenix-tail cannon opened wide and thundered, releasing a massive orb of light.

Yet, the guardians’ self-destruct had no effect whatsoever, for the assault from the Flying Snow Legion was simply too devastating.

“Tell me, Third Brother, how did you manage it? A bullwhip? A horsewhip? Or perhaps an elephant whip? Or was it a dog whip?” Qiu Yong, unable to contain his curiosity any longer, eagerly guessed.

At the far end of the Green Pearl Tower leading to the waterside pavilion, guards were surely lying in wait, but within the pavilion itself, perhaps because Hou Liangsheng preferred tranquility, there was no sign of any sentries, nor did Wei Jie sense the slightest danger.

No one knew. Indeed, the exact number of students in any academy was likely known only to the Grand Dean, for only he had the authority to possess such knowledge.

They brought with them the Federation’s latest scientific achievements. Although these breakthroughs were merely byproducts of repeated experiments on certain biotechnologies from the Saint Sent Republic, they were nonetheless cutting-edge and held tremendous practical value.

King Qin Guang fixed his gaze and realized it was none other than his predecessor, the King of Hell. He fell silent, though his eyes continued to flicker, lost in thought.

He then boldly raised the previously dimmed torch overhead and strode toward the two green figures. The earlier caution vanished without a trace.

Though I harbored doubts, I disliked passing judgment without full knowledge, so I glanced at Sun Haozi.

Pang Bo could hardly believe it—how could the Divine Eye, which even the human race failed to destroy, be so easily crushed? Who was this man? Could he be a supreme expert from the Federation’s human faction?

It was the first time someone had so blatantly slapped him in the face within Xingyu. In a fit of anger, he flooded Chu Qinghuan’s livestream with 100 super stars, equivalent to 200,000 Huaxia coins.

“I will leave, definitely. I won’t stay here long; many are waiting for me outside,” Gu Qingge said with a faint smile.

Inside the room, Shi Huanyan was using instruments to examine Ding Ding, checking its heart and respiratory system, then taking CT scans.

Xia Lingyue immediately understood, for a wisp of smoky-colored garment was clearly visible there, its silk tassels fluttering in the breeze.

Gu Qianlian could not express her feelings. Suddenly, the two dogs rushed to the door, barking loudly. Old Wang was equally surprised; these dogs were usually obedient and had never made such a fuss. A shiver ran through him as he looked toward their masters.

This did not escape the notice of Elder He, who was somewhat astonished. He quickened his steps and approached, scrutinizing Fei Zhenhua as if peering through a Western spyglass.

The head of the Wang family chuckled inwardly. With just a single shout, so many had arrived along with tales of past glories. He never imagined that the old troublemaker An Geng would stir up so much chaos.

“Your attitude toward me today is quite different,” Shangguan Yun said, his beautiful eyes fixed on Chu Qinghuan’s exquisite face, seemingly deep in thought.

This was clearly a colossal beast. Each step it took caused the earth beneath to tremble violently. Gu Qingge had never before seen a demon beast of such immense stature; even the true forms of Taotie and Qiongqi paled in comparison to this enormous creature before her.
