Chapter 25: Everyone Looks Beautiful Beneath the Cherry Blossom Tree
Su Ya rode her electric scooter forward. Before long, the mist on the right side of the road ahead vanished, revealing a fork in the path.
She did not hesitate and turned right.
The scenery around her shifted rapidly; the mysterious and eerie fog gave way to green hills and clear waters. Vegetation had been planted along both sides of the road, and as it was now spring, the flowers were in full bloom, making for a beautiful sight.
After traveling a bit further, a road sign for "Springtime Town" appeared right in front of her.
Throughout this period, Zhan Junyu had been very patient, holding her with one arm while stroking her back with the other, gently soothing her breathing.
"Yes!" Whether it was the exceptional strength Starfall had displayed or Xu Qingyue's past prestige and this meticulous explanation, it all compelled those Hongyu chess players, who were usually quite prideful, to nod in respectful agreement.
The Kushan troops, while driven entirely by a surge of reckless courage, were ultimately people who valued their lives. Seeing Chou fight with such ferocity, they were terrified and scattered in every direction. Chou slaughtered several squads, yet remained unsatisfied, continuing to chase down the fleeing Kushan soldiers.
Compared to the Main God's palace, what was their own? The four God Kings thought in unison.
On Saturday, Tang Jin took a car to Pinghai City. Having not seen Liang Xiaoying for so many days, he simply could not bear it any longer.
Qing Wei was stunned for a moment, then nodded, though she was inwardly puzzled—how did the Sea Emperor know her name?
"Big brother, have we left that space? Have we even left the Shattered Star Belt?" Ye Zilu asked hesitantly.
Liang Xiuqi racked his brain, exhausting every excuse, and then looked at her with expectant eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he only saw Aether and Paimon by the bedside, the latter leaning close to his face, watching him curiously.
Keqing looked at him with some confusion: "Why aren't you going back? Why are you following me?" He still didn't want to ruin the brotherhood between Luo Yu and the others.
"A few days ago, there were reports of monster invasions along the major coastlines of the modern world. Although it has been quelled, it caused our company's market value to rise fivefold." Bu Ping’s hands trembled with excitement.
"By the way, a word of warning: I fear that before long, those people from above will come down to the mortal realm to inspect things. You had better keep those two secret manuals well hidden," Su Nanshi suddenly remarked.
He hadn't been asleep for long when the bedroom window suddenly flew wide open with a "bang," startling Gou Rixin so much that he leaped three feet high and slammed into the wall with a "meow."
In truth, Nigen still held a bit of a grudge over his previous defeat to Tiffany, and for a while, he had been half-consciously avoiding her.
"Cough, cough, that’s enough of that. Let’s head to your family’s estate first. It doesn’t seem to be snowing in Qingzhou, and the temperature is just right for an outing. But when does the Martial Arts Ranking begin?" Su Mu spoke as he pleased.
Luo Wei's words left the One-Eyed Dragon stunned. He stared at Luo Wei blankly for a few seconds before suddenly bursting into laughter.
Yang Tao returned to her room, the more she thought about the Prince's pulse, the more puzzled she became: given his current physical condition, the poison he had been afflicted with must have been cleared by half. Otherwise, the Prince would not have survived until now.
It wasn't that Jiang Yan was putting on airs, but her every word and action, every gesture, felt far too business-like and flawless, which made the others, who were accustomed to being casual, feel quite uncomfortable.
"Yes!" Chen Lao replied in a low voice, though his brow remained furrowed. For some reason, he felt that something about this matter was off.
Yang Gang bit his lip, his expression filled with excitement. This was a legendary figure, now sitting right in front of him in the flesh; how could he not be thrilled?
She could naturally tell that Xiao Lie wasn't truly angry with her, so she behaved herself and didn't act out excessively.
The Qiao family had always lived in the village and never traveled far. Though they rarely made any large sums of money, they had seen ten taels of silver before. However, to sit at home doing nothing and receive ten taels so easily, and in such a short span of time, was something that had never happened before, which was why the Qiao family found it so hard to believe.
