Chapter 158 Atonement

Song Mo helped Lu Yalan onto the bed and laid her down. Seeing the crisscrossing bruised and red marks on her neck, with the five finger-prints becoming increasingly swollen and distinct, he hurriedly sent someone to fetch a physician.

After the ointment was applied to Lu Yalan's neck and medicine was ordered to be brewed, only after everything had settled did he stand up, preparing to go receive his punishment. "Get some rest, I'll come see you tomorrow."

Pausing for a moment, he added, "Do not go near the study from now on. No matter who tells you to go, do not pay them any mind!"

With her throat injured, Lu Yalan could not speak. She grabbed Song Mo's arm and wrote on his palm: Thank you for today. Also, I didn't mean to. The door wasn't shut tightly, and when I heard Mu Chengyao's name mentioned, I couldn't help but lean closer. I wasn't intentionally eavesdropping.

The young lady's hand—

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're only thirty-nine, still very young," Qi Li said with a playful reproach.

Qin Beifeng wandered out of the classroom in a daze, only to realize that while staying away from class was fine, actually attending lectures in the classroom would only disrupt the other students. Therefore, after sitting through a single class, he vanished once again.

"Oh, come on, at worst we can just treat him back next time. Let's go." Gu Qingyan linked her arm through Qin Ruoshui's and walked outside.

This hunting ground was quite peculiar; it was said to be infested with demonic creatures everywhere. Moreover, if one could survive within the hunting ground for a month, the King of the Demon Star Empire would bestow the honor of a Hunting Knight—an honor holding the same status as a viscount of the empire, though hereditary titles were not permitted in the Demon Realm.

"Brother, let go," Wawa murmured, her voice seeming to drift from the freezing depths of the polar region.

This was the second time Haotian had seen Ruo Li in such a state: her dark red attire was tattered and torn, her hair disheveled, bleeding from her seven facial orifices, and looking terrifyingly pale, with only her very last breath lingering on.

Meanwhile, after receiving the alarm from his subordinates that three cargo ships had been hijacked by pirates, Watzeld hurriedly contacted the CIA intelligence agency, requesting them to ascertain which faction of pirates had captured the vessels. However, the information fed back from satellite photographs indicated that the three ships had vanished entirely from view, leaving not a trace behind.

He said to Meloni, "For the first hand, let's try it out. Bet an integer amount of chips." Meloni obediently tossed out a thousand-yuan chip.

"Aside from two items to be kept as trophies, I will return everything else belonging to Japan back to Japan." This was the greatest divergence in opinion between Ouyang Pengcheng and his grandfather. Believing in an eye for an eye and meeting violence with violence, he always maintained that all Japanese dogs deserved to die, and on this principle, he would never yield so much as a fraction of an inch.

Checking the weather forecast, heavy rain was predicted for the night. Looking up at the gloomy skies, Qin Feng took a flashlight to inspect the nearby hillside, accompanied by two guards trailing behind him. The guards were dressed in denim outfits, armed with handguns, protecting Qin Feng by moving alternately ahead and behind.

Rele was half-kneeling on the ground, accompanied by a cute Nidoran who was gently biting down on Rele's beret.

"Hmph... Hahaha! Why wouldn't I dare? Shu thieves, just wait, I shall be right there!" Su Ning raised his head, pointing his Xuanyun Sword directly at the shouting Shangguan Yong as he shouted back in response.

Warmed by the radiance, he suddenly felt his whole body grow warm, and the chill inside his body melted away just like that.

Hearing this, Cailin and the others nodded as well. The Nine Serenidades Ground Python tribe possessed formidable strength, and now they were penetrating deep into the opponent's stronghold. If discovered, even with Xiao Yan possessing Dou Sheng strength, it surely would not be an easy task.

The staff member was startled for a moment, then hurriedly called over a nearby patrol officer to report the situation. The patrol officer immediately raised his guard.

The Dongyu Mountain Range was a rather barren region in the Middle Three Realms because, despite its numerous mountains, medicinal herbs and spirit beasts were scarce, and it bordered the mortal lands of the Immortal Realm.

As for Koko, she had already departed from the Ziqin Forest a day ago, embarking on her journey with the goal of fostering harmony between humans and Pokémon.

Two slender Pokémon flew out from their Pokéballs, floating before the window with sleepy eyes, looking at Jiuye as if wondering why he had released them in the middle of the night.

The dull roars of artillery fire echoed through the city of Avonegoda, directly collapsing reinforced concrete buildings as billows of thick smoke surged into the sky.
