Chapter 52: Far-Reaching Medical Renown

After passing a Daoist temple, a Buddhist shrine, and several pavilions and towers, the two arrived at the venue for the grand gathering. It was an expansive estate capable of accommodating hundreds of guests, with winding corridors beside flowing streams, jade bridges spanning clear water, and vast flower gardens stretching toward the horizon like rosy clouds at dawn.

It was the height of spring, and peonies of every color vied with one another in bloom, adding to the splendor of the mansion and the distinction of its master.

Among the crowds moving to and fro, whether young gentlemen or—

The Fang family head watched the Pure Yang Daoist sect members leave. He wanted to stop them, but Daoist Xiyunzi and Daoist Shouzhen did not so much as glance at him.

The moment Mingyan stepped onto the Bamboo Tip Formation, he summoned all his strength and focused intently on thoughts of the big rocks he loved.

But Mayang had no time to berate the fellow. He waited ten seconds, held his breath, concentrated, and ran the restart procedure once more.

Watching the violet lightning descend from the sky like a long dragon, he wanted to spread his wings and flee. But remembering how swiftly the thunderbolts struck, he immediately slumped in despair and stopped moving.

Parker Spade and Mary had planned to go to a nearby hotel to “get better acquainted” after the movie. As luck would have it, they saw her putting handcuffs on Billy.

Making the clay body was, in fact, a matter of pressing clump after clump of clay onto a frame and repeatedly patting it into shape.

Li Baoshan’s Exploding Mountain Mercenary Corps had sent many men to take part in this rebellion. By now, most of them had fallen to the Red Alert soldiers’ guns.

He was a gaunt old man, his entire body wreathed in black mist. He was so thin he looked practically like a skeleton, a truly horrifying sight.

But it was already too late. They had been so completely distracted by Lu Zian that, by the time they noticed, the vehicles were already moving.

And since she had received not a single nomination this time, Charlize was in a position to simply sit back and watch.

Changsun Ling glared at Wang Yi and, through gritted teeth, chided him with a coy pout. “You lecher! All you ever do is tease people. I’m not speaking to you anymore!” She gave a huff, shot Wang Yi another glare, then clasped her hands behind her back and walked on ahead.

A nearby orderly saw that his regimental commander was in a bad mood and grew increasingly afraid. Mustering his courage, he gathered up the shards from the floor, head bowed, and quietly slipped out.

Murong Xue spent the most enjoyable New Year of her life at the estate. She went home to celebrate with her father, Murong Shun, only on the first and second days of the New Year; she spent all the other days at Wang Yi’s residence, right up until the wedding date arrived.

If people hadn’t known Lu Xiaohang, they would probably have lost their minds at the mere mention of sleeping. Lu Xiaohang needed to uncover the island’s secret within the Dreamscape System.

Wang Yi’s father, Wang Xiongdan, was a well-regarded general, but he had never led troops against foreign armies. The northern tribes had barely heard of this famed general, renowned throughout the martial world, and so they still looked down on Wang Yi, the young commander who had distinguished himself during the hunt.

In an instant, the blood-red fireball in her hands was disrupted and exploded with a roar, blasting her backward. She spat out a huge mouthful of blood and was badly wounded.

The battle was supposed to be fought by the challengers ahead of Hong Aojue. But on the screen, every challenger before him chose to forfeit. Evidently, they all felt that even if they beat someone else, they would still be no match for Xu Wenfeng. They might as well save themselves the trouble and humiliation.

Li Zhi was now seeking to replace Zhuifeng and the others as the leader of this united divine realm. Only then could he fully merge his divine core with the realm and bring all of its functions into play.

The employees at the company immediately looked crestfallen. They were a logistics company, not a film studio… But whatever the company’s line of business, the boss’s orders had to be carried out. Otherwise, it meant you didn’t want to keep earning your living there.

Ye Feng was intensely focused, and he had switched to a Thompson submachine gun. The twelve special-operations soldiers spread out on their own, forming teams of two or three to begin the search. Ye Feng took two of them and went straight up to the second floor without stopping on the first.
