Chapter 59: The Real Thrill Begins
Yu Jiang tapped on the instance dungeon introduction.
[After a few days of acid rain, everyone must be feeling bored inside their vehicles, so the excitement is here!
Instance Dungeon: Torrential Adventure
Difficulty: One Star
Capacity: 100 (Teams of 4)
A large-scale fun instance dungeon. Clearing it grants no rewards, while failing or refusing the quest happily awards a three-day "Gain Nothing" status.
Players who accept the quest are requested to track and proceed to the entrance tomorrow between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM.]
...
Eventually, once she achieved her goal and no longer intended to use you, she would pull out the photographs to threaten you.
Beneath the red firelight, her beautiful face and sharp, chilling gaze made one feel as though they had plunged into an abyss of despair. Someone not far away muttered in surprise, "There really are people bold enough." Baili Nuyun listened, feeling that this didn't sound like anyone she knew from the Heartless Hall.
Qianyun sat upon the carriage, staring unblinkingly at Yingyao, who was kneeling on one knee, her eyes brimming with dissatisfaction.
...
"Could it be that the antidote was a success?" A few seconds later, he regained his clarity. He knew best what his own antidote looked like. A professional researcher must have an ultimate understanding of their own creation.
Old Jade glanced at Jackie Chan, suddenly feeling that Jackie was a piece of rotten wood incapable of being carved, and gave him a light rap on the forehead with his knuckle.
He was merely a puppet who had naively assumed that Jun Changsheng and the Heavenly Court were allies.
In his heart, he felt both regret and relief. What he regretted was that he ultimately failed to complete that kiss; what he felt relieved about was... fortunately, he hadn't completed that kiss.
Clearly, he had loathed her so much in the past, yet now, he could never suppress his yearning for her, though he couldn't quite explain why.
Even though the grand trend had become irreversible, to the extent that even Qian Shouyi and that old patriarch had thoughts of giving up, a prodigal, dissolute young master could hardly stir up any waves, yet Shen Changshou inexplicably developed some new ideas.
Whether it was an illusion or reality, the moment they stepped into the desert, they felt the temperature spike instantly. The heavily armed group no longer felt a stifling heat, but rather the scorching, dry burn of the blazing sun.
"Black Impermanence, they've taken the bait!" At that moment, the personnel keeping watch on the perimeter reported in.
At first, Jiang Shu acted too proud to bother with Fo Jin, but Fo Jin was the sort of person who could persist in whatever she set her mind to. Her intuition told her that a beast of Jiang Shu's type would eventually get annoyed if she just kept pestering it, and that would be when her opportunity arrived.
However, much like Wu Yuxin, trapped by the sheer number of golden-armored soldiers, passive beatings were unavoidable.
After Dr. Xue finished glaring fiercely at those people, the moment she turned back to Lin Wanqing, her tone instantly became incomparably gentle.
...
"What do you know? Didn't I say it before? True love knows no gender or age. It seems General Sun took it to heart." With that, Lin Wanqing flashed a triumphant smile.
For a moment, she felt somewhat dazed, her mind already concocting excuses on how to plead with her royal father to bestow her hand in marriage upon Lingfeng.
The big guy first hauled the quicksand onto the yacht, then hoisted Shi Yu'er and Han Juezhi up as well, before finally leading the team in a retreat.
By now, everyone had completely relaxed because the final exams were over, and with rather good grades, they could finally get a proper rest during the winter break.
"Aunt Qianqian wasn't home last night, and Li Tiantian got drunk, clinging to me and refusing to let me leave." Han Weiji certainly didn't dare tell his mother what happened last night, fearing it would displease her.
Old Turtle Si abandoned ship a second time, and with Xiuyue nowhere to be found, he had no choice but to contact Phantom. With this commotion making the rounds of the entire city, how could Phantom not know? He easily tracked down the place where his young master was imprisoned, deciding to scout out the situation first rather than losing his head.
"Brother, that beast is catching up! Hurry up and recall the Soul-Stealing Banner!" Ever since he lost his sight, An Zi often made idiotic mistakes. In the past, Erdan would have undoubtedly started cursing.
Yan Zhen scanned the area and discovered that most of the scattered individuals hadn't even reached the sixth stage of the Nascent Soul realm. The middle and upper echelons of the January organization had essentially been cleanly wiped out by him in West Mountain Valley, leaving virtually no formidable experts here now.
