Chapter Twenty: How Long Has It Been Since You Ate?

And in the distance—was that the villa district? Could he really afford to rent such a place?

Seeing the look on Yan Xuan’s face, Han Xin burst into laughter. “Sister Yuan, see, I’m not the only one who was shocked, right?” Han Xin patted Yan Xuan on the shoulder as he got out of the car. “When Sister Yuan first rented this house to me, my legs nearly gave out from fright. This neighborhood, well…”

Taking advantage of dusk, Pang Feng entered Phoenix City as well. Of course, it was far from curfew yet, and there were many cultivators in the city.

Following Su Lingge’s words, Daina turned her body, finally letting her gaze slowly fall upon Mo Cangyun, raising an eyebrow ever so slightly. “If that’s the case, then let’s go over. Many thanks to this elder sister.” With that, she rose to leave with Yong Ling.

Pang Feng was becoming ever more powerful, incomparable to his former self. Watching all this, she felt a surge of happiness in her heart.

“Elder sister, please get up first! The child is still hurt, and it’s not safe here. Let’s move a bit away and talk,” Yong Ling advised her gently.

Yuantian looked up at the massive azure fox, his eyes showing not an ounce of fear. Then, to the shock of all present, Yuantian’s body suddenly began to expand.

The dark scales on his body were scorched in large swathes by the true fire, the air instantly filling with the scent of roasted meat.

Li Fan asked the yellow-furred tiger in confusion, but the tiger only kept shaking its head, leaving Li Fan helpless. In the end, he simply ignored it and set off toward Pingchang City. Yet as he walked, the tiger followed closely at his heels, clearly intending to stick with him.

The old man’s expression grew somber, and with a wave of his hand, the void split open. Two figures vanished into the rift.

Luming felt an emptiness in her chest; she clung tightly to Manager Hu’s hand, quietly keeping him company. After a long bout of tears, she pressed an acupoint on his body to let him sleep, then made her way to the Luo residence, with Jiuxiang at her side.

Gu Yan walked over and sat down beside him in silence, reaching out to take his hand, simply keeping him company without a word—just sitting there quietly with him.

Gu Xijin had sharp ears; even with a wall between them, nothing could stop her from hearing every word of their conversation.

“Wu Gang, let’s go to Rongli Hospital now.” She then sent Wu Gang to buy some supplements for Chen Qian.

The remaining master alchemists were all those who could refine grade-seven, perhaps grade-eight pills—a rarity even among their peers. Which of those old fellows wasn’t proud and withdrawn from the world? No matter how you looked at the man before them, he simply didn’t fit the image of one of those legendary alchemy masters.

The entire floor had been opened up, with exquisite chandeliers gleaming overhead. An array of fine wines was displayed on crystal counters, while the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows that wrapped around the penthouse made the view even more expansive and uplifting.

Indeed, the set of armor Qin Chuan had invented was originally intended to create elite soldiers capable of storming deep into enemy lines. Yet he also planned to develop a corps of shield-bearers, who would stand in the front ranks like impregnable city walls.

Hearing Elder Yao’s words, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and went off to find a quiet place to cultivate.

Chu Mo looked inside in astonishment. Why was Qinghuan buying these things? There had to be a reason.

Gu Xijin was startled by the terrifying notion in her own mind. She was straight—how could she think such things?

At that thought, Qu Dan fixed his gaze on those deep, lively eyes, an evil smile tugging at his lips.

There was nothing to be done: in the Underworld, only one priest had the right to enter, and that priest was currently offline—probably upstairs playing house with Imperial Twilight—so there was no one to save him. He could only revive himself, which at least meant he’d have time to pick up the loot scattered on the ground.
