Chapter 51: Impressive or Not!

“Happy days are always so short,” Zhang Liang sighed. Despite his deep reluctance, they would have to return to the base on standby tomorrow.

“There will be plenty of time for you to have fun later,” Zhen Ye patted his partner on the shoulder, offering some comfort.

“When will that be?” Zhang Liang asked.

“When you retire,”

“Screw you!” Zhang Liang knocked away his teammate’s hand—was that supposed to be comforting? Who knew when he’d ever get to retire!

“Let’s go,” Li Daoran narrowed his eyes. Was he really being coerced? As the head of a peak, there was no way he’d allow himself to be threatened.

Yue Xinghe, listening from the living room, felt both moved and uncertain about how to repay the kindness he’d just heard. Qian Linan, on the other hand, took the words as earnest advice and kept nodding, but inside he was anxious, worried that something might have happened to Xia Shuang over at Yuan Ye’s place.

Meanwhile, Shen Xiaoxiao, who had just dashed out of the Heart Nurturing Hall, was overwhelmed by complicated feelings. She had barely left, and already someone else would take her place—someone who might even share a deeper intimacy than she ever had.

With just one bite, the older woman’s expression changed completely, her face suffused with utter satisfaction.

As the cannon was properly positioned, one person pressed the activation button and called out something. At the front of the cannon, energy began to gather. Guo Zicheng had explained before that this was the most advanced weapon of the era—a digital dark matter weapon, one of humanity’s greatest trump cards.

Xia Yunmei didn’t want to talk anymore—she went straight upstairs, having already spotted a room she liked. She just wanted to sleep; if she didn’t, dawn would soon break and she’d be dozing off during lectures.

She thought she’d just meet the newcomer—after all, with a bit of cultivation, they couldn’t turn out worse than Gu Nian, could they?

The leading young man gestured, and his companions all shot Ye Li fierce glares before leaving together.

Lin Yuqing was momentarily stunned, but as she lifted her head, she caught Yue Xinghe’s burning gaze and immediately realized what was going on. She cursed him for a scoundrel, clutching her neckline as she backed away.

“I made a rookie mistake,” Hill brooded, unable to forgive himself for nervously losing his staff.

Ling Yue sensed trouble. In that instant, the black Thunder Emperor Blade flashed past her and flew away. Wan Yue stood frozen, at a loss. After several seconds she came to herself, just in time to see Ling Yue already racing out of the corridor and onto the deck. She hurriedly followed.

Takite was second only to Walmart, with a retail store on the main street outside the Film Academy. That was where they usually shopped for daily necessities.

So that’s what happened—he had no idea what I did for a living, so the conversation came up as if by accident.

Xue Moyan glanced at her and sneered, “Sorry.” To him, silver was worth little more than dung. For that matter, what would he want with a mountain of dung?

Suddenly, a dull thud sounded from another direction. Wu Lei’s gaze snapped toward it, and his pupils contracted slightly.

Ya secretly grinned and tapped her chin playfully with her index finger, her eyes fixed on Yu Luoxi’s pen as it scratched out equations in her notebook.

Lowly wretches, daring to boss her around and order her about. It was bad enough they wouldn’t let her eat, but to kick her as well?

After dodging the wind blade, Qin Xie quickly caught up and swept Feng Luo into his arms. “It doesn’t matter whether you like me or not. I like you, and that’s enough. You smell delicious.” With that, he cupped the back of Feng Luo’s head, forced his lips apart, and greedily drank in the pure energy he craved.

When Kang Yingke spoke, the eyes of all the powerful teams nearby flickered. Though Kang Yingke appeared emotionless, everyone could sense that, at that moment, he harbored murderous intent toward Wu Lei.
