Volume 1, Chapter 44: Love Across Mountains and Seas

Mu Yao sighed in resignation, set the packed lunch aside, and moved closer to Gu Nanxiao, pressing her hands—still chilled from the outside air—against his cheeks.

Startled back to reality, Gu Nanxiao gazed blankly at the girl before him. He reached up, covering her hands with his own to warm them.

"Back with us now? Hurry up and eat; we still have things to do this afternoon."

Ling Feng waved at them with a smile. These disciples had joined the sect after he left for the Sect Trade Fair. Having no preconceived image of "Mu Feng" in their minds, they simply accepted the reverence shown by Jiao Hei and the others as a matter of course.

Giving a lecture at Princeton University would be a significant boost to his reputation and professional standing.

Shen Yumiao shook her head. Though Magistrate Qiu had been stationed here from the capital for several years, he had never once neglected his own indulgences.

As they continued to tail them, Xu Feng and his team uncovered an increasing number of suspicious details. This group of super zombies numbered only a few dozen, yet they had no connection to other zombies in the area, operating with a tactical, independent pattern that closely resembled a military squad.

Regardless of who led the Beijing Survivor Base, who held the highest authority in China, or what changes occurred across the various bases, the pledge of loyalty to China remained the guiding path in the right direction.

The Wan family had, after all, endured for a million years. Their lineage had produced heaven-defying figures, many naturally more powerful than Wan Jing. Yet, through generations, those who truly reached the nine-hundred-foot mark were always linked to the will of some great power.

Wanru kept her eyes tightly shut. As Yinzhen’s kisses fell upon her face, she bore them passively. Though usually bold and passionate, this was her first time experiencing such intimacy. She felt unaccustomed to it, silently praying for it to end quickly.

Seeing that his words were pleasant enough, Mistress Sun smiled and said, "That goes without saying." Once they had reached an agreement, Mistress Sun opened the items she had brought.

"Mr. Ling, what is the acquired spiritual skill of this crystal badge, and what type of giant spirit is it best suited for?" Domock asked, holding the badge in his hand.

As for what treasures they had actually obtained, they naturally wouldn't say, but Hong Wu estimated it was certainly no small amount.

With Parker returning to the starting lineup after recovering from his injury, the Spurs' core roster was undoubtedly formidable.

Zhao Xueli’s face had darkened. Were it not for his habit of remaining composed under pressure, he would have surely let his frustration show in a dramatic outburst.

"He said he was going to the restroom in the middle of the night, and then he never came back!" Cage finally found an opportunity to interject.

In other words, the Immortal Realm had completely lost contact with his side; therefore, the ones opening those shops later must have been the Three Realms System.

Fang He now understood why the white ape had become like this; it must have spent long periods sitting on this stone platform, gaining power from the saturation of its energy.

The Azure Dragon roared in fury. He had already reached a realm of unfathomable power, his combat strength not inferior to Ji Hanfeng or Nangong Yangtian. Yet, to run into Elder Duan—a figure of such terrifying seniority and earth-shattering strength—was truly his misfortune.

Clamor special explosive was developed after the Korean War and had since been widely used by special forces around the world. Usually placed within buildings and detonated remotely, it was capable of killing anyone within a fifty-meter radius.

Fang He asked tentatively; if there were no other way, he would have to perform the extraction. After all, a human life was at stake, and he could not leave it unsaved.

He knew he would not survive, but he was determined to complete the mission his family had assigned him; it was his unwavering principle.

Furthermore, even if a soul master truly appeared, nine times out of ten, they would fail and perish during the soul activation process.
