Chapter 53: Wait for Me to Come Home

To Si Yao, there was no real difference between sleeping soundly and sleeping poorly. Both sounded unpleasant, yet both were true. Si Yao and Xing Jue stood in a tense standoff for several minutes. Under Xing Jue's intense, unyielding gaze, Si Yao finally took a step back and nodded. “Fine, if you want to stay, then stay.” Avoiding his gaze, Si Yao returned to her room and called her grandmother…

As for Lou Yan, who was rumored in the novice instance intelligence to be on the verge of breaking the SS-level zone record, he must be an outlier. Lin Fan said resolutely that, with all his cards on the table, he could defeat an ordinary Soul King without much trouble. His Shadow Battle Axe was particularly effective against the high defenses of soul beasts—he did not fear danger.

The Sea of Stars Free Alliance, the Demon Legion, and the House of Ascent—these three demon emissary organizations were indeed the largest in Baishan City.

Everyone was briefly stunned, then instinctively turned their weapons toward the direction of the sound. Lin Fan, holding Bibi Dong’s hand, silently approached several guards stationed along the only path. In an instant, a purple Shadow Battle Axe materialized in Lin Fan’s hand.

Immediately, the thirty-six Demon God Stone Pillars and the figures carved into the murals began to glow with dazzling light, gradually coalescing into spectral forms that detached themselves and drifted downward. The purpose of those precious resources and treasures was evidently to reconstruct the body of the Time-Space Creator God’s lingering soul.

But today was a special day. He could not allow himself to get angry. He could only clench his fists and suppress his fury.

Wang Xu’s bold maneuver was initially meant only to allay the audience’s doubts, but Cheng Xiang’s comment stirred up a storm; his title of “Master” was now inescapable.

Henry laughed. “That’s entirely different. If it were me in that situation, I’d do everything possible to move the ball to the wing.”

Moreover, he had the distinct impression that these divine weapons were faintly emitting a sword’s purple lightning glow.

Copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins were used by ordinary evolutionaries and residents of Doomsday City, while psionic crystal coins served as the city’s foreign currency.

Upon learning that Monaco’s opponent in the quarterfinals was Dortmund, Li Liang found himself longing for the Signal Iduna Park stadium he had only ever seen on television, and especially for the world-famous “Yellow Wall” in the south stand.

“Lowering the price helps spread the word and stabilizes the market. It makes those holding sand pearls and hoping to sell them anxious. If we raise the price, won’t outsiders follow suit?”

Vasilyev shrugged. “Leonardo, if we keep the current lineup, don’t we both know how far we’ll get in the Champions League?”

The ball was about twenty-five meters from goal, and Boschilia stepped up to take the free kick himself. The angle wasn’t ideal, but Li Liang could instantly tell Boschilia would go for goal.

Watching his teammates board the team bus after training, Li Liang felt out of place.

Blood Phoenix moved from the dormitory for junior death warriors across from the stone house to live next to Mo Xiaosheng—she was now a level-five death warrior and could no longer stay in the junior dormitory.

Over the next two days, the news that Li Tianyi was leading the Ningkang County investment bureau to Beijing to attract capital spread like wildfire throughout Ningkang and even Phoenix City; everyone seemed to know.

Rumors abounded: some said obtaining the Killing Stone would make one the mightiest demon, others that it was the key to reviving Tamamo-no-Mae—stories of every stripe.

But then, memories she’d tried so hard not to recall surged up all at once. She forced them down, unwilling to remember.

After hearing Elder Liu’s words, Wang Hao shook his head slightly. He hadn’t just guessed; he had used his X-ray vision to see into the rough stone’s interior.
