Chapter 50: Crashing a Meal

Three steaming bowls of brown sugar poached eggs sat on the stool, with a few snow-white glutinous rice balls floating in the soup.

Fang Mingxi and Tang Yao looked up from their comic books, startled by the sight of the poached eggs before them.

Could it be that they had really entered the home of the crippled man?

“Don’t just stand there in shock. Hurry and take your bowls and eat together. Xi Xi, this bowl is for you; Yao Yao, this one is yours; and Xiaoyu, this one’s for you. You three sisters eat together,” Zhao Hongying urged the surprised siblings.

What exactly was hidden behind this virus, and why had it broken out here? After all, this place hardly seemed like a suitable origin for such a virus—these slum dwellers were already poor enough.

“That depends on what happens next. Since I can’t take this ring off, I just hope it really helps me cultivate,” Lu Qi said.

There was no denying that Zhang Lingshu’s arrival had even lifted Yang Hao’s spirits enough to joke with Li Jiancheng. Before this, he had never spoken so casually.

Because it was an area-of-effect damage spell, one fiery blue orb after another rained down, covering every inch of land with no blind spots. It was impossible to dodge the shower of fire through agility alone.

“System, wait a moment. Are all these for me?” Xue Rengui could no longer conceal his excitement.

“Judging by this, the sword is even more likely to be that person's weapon. That person practices physical martial arts and must have a weapon, but since he has already awakened, why leave the sword here instead of reclaiming it?” Li Mingxue said with some puzzlement.

“Hey, Liao Hua. I just remembered—you used to serve under Zhang Niujiao, the commander of Qingzhou, right? How come you’ve now become Qingzhou’s envoy?” Guan Hai suddenly recalled and asked Liao Hua.

Just as the adventurers and mercenaries thought they were doomed this time, they finally exhaled in relief. It seemed they were safe—this was an indescribable blessing for them, allowing them to relax deeply.

Inside a cave in the valley, five Dragon Kings sat cross-legged, eyes closed, resting and meditating. Ten Demon Kings had gathered here in total, with the others scattered and concealed among five mountain ranges.

“All right, Lord Shangguan, please come inside,” Su Jiu nodded, leading Shangguan Ling into his room. Yin Shaokun and the others followed, and then the door was closed.

Crack! Trees scattered apart, a forest fell to the ground, dust filled the air, and a three-foot-wide pit was clearly visible.

However, the onlookers at the outer edge clearly realized that the spiritual body of that strange beast was formidable and began to worry.

This chill was definitely not coldness. Although feeling cool in such a harsh winter was strange, he distinctly sensed it.

“Just a moment of confusion?” He Yan Yu was displeased with her apology. What did she mean by ‘a moment of confusion’?

If it were truly possible to go back but not return, Jiang Liu would probably refuse. He only wanted to go back to see, not to stay.

“Old Leng… he is a disciple of the Divine Emperor Lingyue. Maybe we should…” The man beside him hesitated.

“That’s right, it’s this kind of stone. Master, do you know where to find such stones?” Lu Zijia took the half-spiritual stone, asking with some excitement.

The most domineering aspect of the Death God martial soul was that it came with a domain upon awakening, whereas the Angel martial soul did not have this skill before inheriting the Angel’s divine rights.

Mo Yu’s eyes slightly narrowed at the scene before him. He clearly understood that Luo Te had some means of survival and had already escaped.

Since it wasn’t explicitly told, Lu Jianguo and Su Hui probably didn’t actually want him to see it either.

Mao Rui led everyone to the main island at the center of the dimensional space. Although Mao Rui had used the cross-dimensional communication array once and then abandoned it, that didn’t mean it was unimportant.
