Chapter 29: Ten-year-old Jiang Chen, aboard the ship

"Passengers for sightseeing craft T9904, please proceed inside immediately. The craft is scheduled to depart in five minutes."

A broadcast announcement echoed across the plaza. Passengers were boarding the sightseeing craft through a separate gate. Many turned to look with curiosity, drawn by the sharpness of Eleven’s voice. Eleven quickly lowered her voice, "Disarm? Are you trying to get us killed? If we want to deal with that giant bug, disarm—"

Seeing the grave expression on his grandmother's face, Zhang Yi felt a jolt in his heart. The terrifying thought that had haunted him for the past two days surged forth. He nodded quickly to show his agreement and then called to request leave.

Yu Minghui felt as though she could die of shame under the gazes of those around her. She maintained a calm, indifferent expression on her face, though she had to ignore the fact that her cheeks were redder than a tomato.

She had long known that life rarely goes according to plan, yet she had not allowed herself to sink into indulgence during her brief moments of comfort. But Mingyue had never imagined that the comfort would be so fleeting. Bridge engineering was her dream; taking a year off to have a child would mean wasting thirty percent of her academic expertise in this field.

Tang Seng’s broad, sturdy shoulders and muscular build gave off a strong sense of security just by looking at him.

"Thank you for telling me all this." After hearing what Fang Xiang had to say, Mingyue replied politely. Regardless of anything else, he was An Yi’s friend, and basic courtesy was required. What truly shifted her attitude, perhaps, was the memory of that handsome youth who shone like the sun.

Very well, this Ye Tingyuan did not seem so detestable after all. Perhaps she would leave a few items in the room for him and sell a little less.

Following a sharp word, a heavy fist came crashing down. Huo Fanyin, one hand in his pocket, moved just half a step to the side, cleanly evading Fang Dichuan’s strike.

Mingyue’s eyes widened. What a shameless man! He was truly a disciple of Tang Seng, all of them adept at shirking responsibility and passing the buck with such ease.

Jiang You’s 150,000 was fully invested in Jianing stock within a short time, at an average price of about 4.20.

Xia Yuhan turned her head to look at Ke Zhenxin, who was proposing to her, and covered her pink lips in astonishment.

Zhang Renyuan lowered his sword slightly, though he dared not let his guard down; the cunning of the wolves was, after all, notorious.

Because she had traveled from Shunyi, Chen Xin arrived at the set last; everyone else was already there.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted from within the tiger’s den. A blast of air cleared the snow from the entrance as a white tiger leaped out.

Seeing her gaze drift to his front right, Xiao Mo subconsciously looked in the same direction. However, after scanning the area and finding nothing, he turned his eyes back to Tu Yaoyao to discuss serious matters.

"Go ahead and do it! Make the testing process and its results public and transparent! Those old fogies went to such great lengths to create a secret realm so perfectly suited for testing; we must make this debut grand and spectacular!" Chu Kuangdao declared.

In the sky over Hunan, two enormous, distorted, and eerie shadows loomed.

Jiang You nodded and said, "I almost let it slip yesterday when the reporters were interviewing me."

Yet, strangely, the more they found each other unbearable, the more they were like the north and south poles of a magnet—unable to resist coming together.

If one’s final thought is a prayer to the Buddha, one shall ascend to the Pure Land and enjoy boundless bliss; if one’s final thought is of hell, one shall descend into the Avici and suffer endless torment and infinite karmic retribution.

"It’s simple: I am stronger than the Wolf King, and he met his end at my hands! Compared to the Wolf King, you really are nothing but a piece of trash," Lin Chen sneered.

"Alright, you are both my dear younger sisters. I believe you will have the chance to meet in the future, and I am certain you will like her," Lin Chen said with a faint smile.

In the current situation, the only way to minimize casualties and ensure safety was to use poison to incapacitate everyone, and then, if necessary, administer the antidote to his own people later.
