Volume One, Chapter 111: Harmless to Humans and Animals
The door remained firmly shut.
In the pitch-black, dim air, the sound of knocking was slow and heavy, like the echo of a man’s leather shoes on a wooden floor, easily sending a chill down one’s spine.
Zhou Jingdu waited quietly.
He was accustomed to staying up late.
His sleep schedule was erratic and irregular.
Sometimes, he would quietly ponder: if he had followed Yang Su to join the Marshal’s Army back then, with his skills, even if he couldn’t become the top commander, securing second or third in command would have been effortless.
Beside the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, Kṣitigarbha recited the Kṣitigarbha Sutra, guiding the Asura clan—who were trapped in the sea of blood and bound by their strong desire for rebirth—toward salvation.
An Jin transformed into a black-spotted leopard, delivering a vacuum slash with an ultra-fast and powerful kicking strike, cutting through Sophia D’Bastian like withered branches.
The reason Dongfang Che had become so passive was that after Jin Liancheng’s death, his health declined sharply. Later, upon learning of Jin Liancheng’s revival, he was overwhelmed with sorrow and joy, aging several years in an instant. Meanwhile, Yao Ying and Dongfang Ziyu’s disguise was so perfect that Dongfang Che never suspected they would poison him.
When the scepter fell into Li Qing’s hands, the Ninth Generation Beggar was caught in the arms of the leaping Li Xiuyuan. Then, lightly landing, he crouched halfway, lifted his hand, and gently patted the Ninth Generation Beggar’s face.
Jiang Zhuo stared intently at Guan Hai. The “Transient Life at Ten Thousand Ren” technique required six seconds of energy buildup. During this period, the user entered an invincible state—able to take damage but immune to all restraints, dizziness, and effects, and the skill could not be interrupted.
“Lord An Jin, no one would dare neglect your care on the upcoming journey, right? Why not bring them along and let them handle some chores?” Jiu smiled.
“Why must it be love? I can care for you, comfort you, protect you, accompany you. All love transforms into familial affection with time, and we have reached that level.” Park Chuxi’s voice was somewhat loud, drawing the attention of Park Chulong and Zheng Xiujing.
At that moment, Li Qing appeared like a flash of lightning, instantly behind one of the bull-headed demons, and without a word, struck a palm forward.
After Enqi regained full consciousness, the atmosphere between the two became somewhat awkward. To break the strange tension, Qi Wuce feigned cleverness and casually fabricated some information.
After all, everyone had seen the usual interactions between An Cha and Wan Ke, yet when Wan Ke dealt with a major life event, An Cha didn’t send blessings, which was rather odd.
Money could be earned again once lost, but if life or one’s standing in the martial world was lost, that was no trivial matter.
“Brother, are you giving me a psychology lesson?” Shen Molin suddenly laughed heartily, looking at Shen Tingnan and asking.
Villagers cared deeply for their crops, indifferent to flowers and plants, and nobody deliberately cultivated flowers or tended to gardens.
According to Zhenhua’s rough estimate, after deducting workers’ wages, the construction cost for these six rooms should not exceed twelve thousand taels.
Cheng Xiao, Sun Yihuan, and Li Lisan were all taken aback, then exchanged a deep glance with Zhao Tianlong. None of them had sensed anything, but Zhao Tianlong had detected it immediately, which spoke volumes.
He knew Qu San’s laboratory never allowed anyone in. Back then, he had begged tearfully and persistently just to get a glimpse inside.
After a few conversations, Wan Ke began to get familiar with the support role; at least he wouldn’t be killed outright after stepping outside.
The grand rooster’s “surprise attack” failed; panic flickered clearly in its eyes. Hastily, it struck out with its claws to block the steel rod, only to be flung aside without resistance, crashing heavily into the chicken coop wall.
