(47) Returning Home Is What Matters Most

Beneath Liu Yi’s vertical pupils, living beings appeared as sources of heat—just as though viewed through infrared, their skeletons and organs laid bare to her eyes. At that moment, she noticed something moving inside Lu Yunshu’s abdomen…

Tumors don’t move, do they?

Could this be fetal movement?

She was not well-versed in months of pregnancy, but from what she saw, the fetus was small—perhaps just a month or two along.

Upon hearing this, Di Yan released his hand in disgust, as if he’d touched a toad, and signaled the water wielder to release water.

No one knew how far they’d gone, but gradually the bees vanished, melting into the stone walls. Zhao Ruzhi looked up and could not help but feel a surge of shock in her heart.

Her mother’s grave lay in the heart of the cornfield. The corn leaves, sharp as blades, crisscrossed before the grave in serried ranks, as though an honor guard keeping vigil.

A sound like shattering glass echoed around us; the space itself seemed to fracture. My lips curled into a slight smile, but the feeling of triumph was short-lived. For as I glimpsed the scene revealed by the breaking of the space, a deeper gravity settled upon my face.

Musha Ban was a man of deep cunning. When he placed Murong Detao under house arrest, he did not intend to kill him. He knew that many among the Murong clan had once shared life and death with Murong Detao’s father. Should he kill Murong Detao, there would surely be those unwilling to accept it.

“At this rate of restoration, it’ll probably take more than a year to fully repair,” Lu Yu thought anxiously.

“Well, to hell with it. Let’s just go.” Gold-Toucher Yang conceded, aware that staying here was no solution—especially as night was falling and the way out would not be easy to find.

Hearing this, Luo Fan’s cheeks flushed crimson. Wasn’t this as good as saying his heart was impure, his mind filled only with base and vulgar things?

Tuoba Jie did not answer her question, but acted swiftly to rescue the leading guard, while Princess Jielan reached out to save Lvyu as well.

Moreover, not only were the brain cells active, but all the cells throughout the body grew more vigorous. Outwardly, this meant that every cell within his body increased its absorption and release of internal energy by a substantial margin within the same span of time—something that would undoubtedly aid the recovery of Lu Yu’s meridians.

Jia Zuo and Qiu Xuan had just finished making their plans when Tuoba Jie and Murong Lan arrived outside. Jia Zuo hurried out to greet them and ushered them in.

“Of course two tigers cannot share one mountain. To make you understand that our Boss Bai is far more formidable than that River God, we’ll handle that River God ourselves! That way you won’t be torn between two sides!” Tu Yu said, giving Bai Meng a meaningful glance.

Zhou Tianhao had not expected to be struck so directly. Caught off guard, he staggered back several steps from the blow, nearly falling over.

The night grew even deeper. Saber, lying down with his massive sword as a pillow, gradually slipped into light sleep, his breath barely audible and fading into moonlight. Just as the moon reached its zenith and midnight approached, a faint and cautious footstep sounded outside Saber’s door.

On the sidelines near the main team’s bench, Enzo yanked at his T-shirt collar and sat down heavily in anger, while the assistants beside him stared intently at the field.

“Boasting is pointless! So long as there is disaster in the world, I can always be reborn!” Yamata-no-Orochi declared with smug pride.

Yuan Jincheng had just reached the kitchen door and was about to sneak a piece of meat when Su Yinyin smacked his hand sharply, glared at him, and chased him out.

As for this “neglectful master” who had failed in his teachings, Bei Ming Tianyuan Fulong felt little affection.

Of course, what the world cared most about now was the whereabouts of the disciples of Martial Prestige Academy. Some cultivators even suggested that these disciples should take up the post of Grand Elder of the Divine Spirit Hall.

In truth, when Xu Wanjun and Yuanzi found the Beast God’s Cave years ago, they discovered that the statues of Xuanhuo Jian and Linglong astonishingly preserved her complete soul. After Xu Wanjun recounted their stories to Yuanzi, she implored him to bring both of them back to life.
