Chapter 145: Eating Melons and Ending Up with a Baby Dragon

Watching Yue Ye feigning death so convincingly, Bai Nianxuan’s eyes were filled with surprise. She thought Yue Ye’s entrance was a bit cooler than Abao’s. As for the feelings between Abao and Yue Ye, Bai Nianxuan believed it was a family-wide inherited romantic obsession. She had grown accustomed to their love-struck ways. If Abao ever ceased being love-struck, she would feel as if Demon God Huang Fengxiu had been betrayed. Of course, in this world, no one dared to betray him.

Her two senior sisters, Zhao Furong and Ji Fuyu, were quite different in appearance. Zhao Furong was stunningly beautiful with a lively and spirited expression, while Ji Fuyu’s looks were plain and her demeanor calm and reserved. Both seemed easy to get along with.

“Very well, I understand. You may go about your business,” King Chen said with a single command, asking no further questions.

At this moment, Qiuli Ju was neither at the end of his tether nor cornered beyond escape; naturally, he did not want to fight the official army to the death. After weighing the pros and cons, Qiuli Ju ultimately abandoned the attack and ordered a retreat.

His strength was being drained bit by bit from his feet; his legs lost all power, and he slumped onto the ground.

Amid a chorus of surprised voices, everyone’s faces lit up with excitement. Yet, what followed was disappointment.

Zhang Jiaze sighed inwardly, thinking, “After all, this society is still one ruled by money.”

“Is that so? Or have I misunderstood? You’re not here to find Qing Yu?” Shiyao smiled faintly, though the warmth never reached her eyes.

In short, scattered survivors were everywhere throughout the underground world. Except for a few remote corners, there was almost nothing that could truly be kept secret from them.

So many that she felt the world’s endless transformations were cruel enough to breed despair… yet beautiful enough to inspire yearning.

Shiyao grasped Yun Shixuan’s hand, every word sincere, every sentence laden with sorrow. Yet beside her, Huike grew somewhat impatient.

“No way! Fine, I’m going all in. I refuse to believe there isn’t a single outfit you all unanimously approve of,” Chen Qiang declared, pulling out his trump card.

Brother Yang, however, showed no sign of fear, clutching Leng Huating’s neck, giving a playful bite before twisting his body for Jin Niang to hold him instead. He no longer fussed over Luoxia, showing that he was not entirely indifferent after all.

Just as Nie Feng suddenly charged forward, a voice thundered sharply ahead of him. In the next moment, a pitch-black shadow blocked Nie Feng’s path, and beside the blood orb appeared a spatial portal, from which a pale hand directly seized the orb the size of a human head.

Xi Yizheng stared blankly at Helian Yun, who had suddenly grown despondent. Only now did she realize that even her position as head of the gambling city came with its share of disappointments. Despite all the effort to uphold the city’s honor, she was still barred from entering the secret base reserved for the city’s true rulers—a deep regret indeed.

Yun Gu rolled on the ground, narrowly passing the flaming palm, darting to Wang Chen’s left side. A decisive move pinned Wang Chen down, while the green glow of the staff swirled as the Staff of Life hovered around him.

Though showing signs of decline, the old camel is still bigger than the horse. Today’s Zhang Decheng remained a formidable force no ordinary upstart could subdue, yet unexpectedly, there were signs he might be uprooted entirely.

Though exhausted to the bone, Lai Xinyi still got up to prepare breakfast for Chen Qiang. Chen Qiang felt sorry for her, telling her several times not to bother, but she was stubborn, insisting on doing it no matter what. She said it was her first time making breakfast for the man she loved and refused to miss the chance. She wanted to be a virtuous wife and loving mother.

The young man’s expression was arrogant, commanding, yet the three others treated him as if he were invisible, utterly ignoring him. This infuriated the youth instantly.

Naturally, the spider centipede was no pushover, but its previous injuries were too severe, and it had yet to recover, making it no match for this mighty creature.

Nan He sat quietly, not urging them on. Seeing their state, she already had a clear understanding in her heart.

The entire class’s gazes suddenly converged on Qing Xu, who instinctively sensed something was amiss.

Once I made up my mind, I immediately took action, walking straight ahead. As I slowly entered the training ground area, I distinctly felt a shift in the surrounding space. Stars seemed to revolve and the world shifted; it felt as though I had entered an entirely different realm—a world of the training ground.

Upon entering the courtyard, I found many mercenary groups had already arrived. The royal family members did not draw any special attention from the other mercenaries.

The meal was quiet; Rong Qi was naturally a man of few words, so during meals he spoke even less.

Qiao Pan’er trembled lightly. She wanted to flee immediately, but her legs felt as if filled with lead, unable to move.

Fang Zhihan understood the old master’s intention. He wanted a private word with Yu Gangan. Looking deeply into her eyes, he squeezed her hand in a comforting gesture before stepping outside.

I took a deep breath of cold air, as if drawing the entire sea breeze into my lungs.

Upon hearing this, Ding Changsheng glanced up at him. That look made Wang Youliang uneasy, and he felt deeply ashamed. Yet words once spoken cannot be taken back; since he had said it, he could neither retract nor explain further, for explanations would only make matters worse.

“Is that so?” Just as Xiao Chen’s words fell, a cold voice suddenly came from behind.

There was no constraint of the Iron Blood Alliance; frankly, he did not believe others wouldn’t kill indiscriminately for money.

“It’s nothing much, just that she’s pregnant!” The Princess of Yong said bitterly. Yet the prince had ordered all within the Yong mansion to keep it secret, likely to prevent Cui Jingniang from finding out.

In the Xianyang Heavenly Domain, the most prosperous continental region, Xianyang Continent, in the Xianchi Manor square, figures appeared one after another, emerging out of thin air and walking forward.
