Volume One, Chapter 56: I’m Reporting to the Police!

Whenever Su Yinwan thought about what had happened that afternoon, she felt deeply wronged.

She was afraid there might be insects in the rice field, so she worked slowly. As a result, the aunt who worked with her took an immediate disliking to her.

There were all kinds of snide remarks, and they even compared her unfavorably to Shen Zhiyi.

Then there was that bunch of unruly children who joined in to bully her, composing mocking songs, laughing at how she couldn’t tell rice seedlings from weeds.

Now he kept it hidden, but the moment he turned around, someone might report his relationship with Wang Fang to the mayor.

The heir plotting against the illegitimate son was indeed infuriating, but what truly roused the anger was the deep-seated resentment of the Emperor of Great Chu.

It was precisely because of this grudge that she was able to slaughter so many Dan Xuan-level warriors. Yet, due to certain special reasons, the Crow Bat King could not leave the Misty Cave, for once she did, her power level would plummet, and she would never regain her true Xuan realm strength.

Regarding Lin Ruoxue’s descent into demonic possession, Yun Yi admitted they bore some responsibility, but there was no evidence to conclusively prove that Lin Ruoxue was behind the recent events in the cultivation world.

Time passed simply like that, half a day gone. At noon, she checked the number of material submissions with the finance department for the month and prepared to go home, waiting for this month’s payment.

A burly man dressed in black handed a white pill to Huang Meiyan. She didn’t understand why but accepted it nonetheless.

“Uncle Lin, I was wrong too. I shouldn’t have hit anyone, but she insulted my mother, and I just couldn’t help it,” Cheng Yuan replied with poise. She hadn’t expected that Lin Juan’s father and Lin Juan herself were so different.

She thought she would never see Yun Chaohua again in her lifetime, yet unexpectedly, she appeared suddenly before her.

Holding a teapot, she poured herself a cup of tea and, tilting her head back, drank the hot tea in one gulp, burning her tongue until smoke seemed to rise from it.

He walked to the tomb calmly and asked, “Who are you? And where am I?” Two questions, asked without hesitation, as thunder cracked and echoed toward the stone tomb. Around him, all was dark and murky; the ground was hard black stone, with no wind or clouds, no golden sun, no cold moon—a desert-like wasteland, utterly desolate and uninhabited.

At the same time, Li Mi, to guard against threats from both front and rear, surrendered to Emperor Yang Jiong of the Huangtai dynasty, who was installed by King Shichong of Luoyang. King Shichong, delighted, sat back to watch the two rivals exhaust each other, allowing Yang Jiong to accept the surrender.

He had no energy to process the vast amount of information flooding his mind while also answering Yan Jin’s questions. As he captured foreign genes, the data contained within was like a cosmic star map suddenly crashing into Luo Zhaoyuan’s brain.

Lin Chen did not fall but successfully triggered the Shadow of the Phantom skill, granting immunity to physical damage exceeding 30% of his maximum health.

That was not all—one order meant nothing; it only showed that his work was not done well enough.

Although he had a good relationship with Lu Tao and recognized his students’ talents, Professor Zhang, being a practical researcher, asked questions with no intention of going easy.

He Yixiang was the only player on the Kings who performed decently, scoring 21 points and 10 assists on 14 shots, making 7, but such statistics could not save a team so lost and adrift.

“You’ll find out when you get there,” Yan Chun replied. In truth, she didn’t know either. Though many had pursued her before, always inviting her out with excuses like dining here or there, she had never agreed. She was not very familiar with the upscale restaurants around the school.

“This ‘Invisibility Technique’ is truly wondrous, hiding one’s form, leaving no trace. If I continue like this, when will I find the chance to slip away unnoticed?” Lü Guang thought to himself, constantly scanning left and right with the corner of his eye, hoping to catch any sign of abnormality and seize an opportunity to escape.
