Chapter 39: Qiu Zexi

"We don't take in strangers."

Before Li Xiaoxiao could speak, Hu Li beat her to it.

His intuition told him that this man was powerful; if he could be recruited into their team, it would provide an extra layer of security in this post-apocalyptic world. Moreover, their RV held many secrets that could not be seen by outsiders, but if he were one of their own, it wouldn't matter.

"If you don't take in strangers, then what if I become your 'insider,' little lady?"

His fox-like eyes sparkled with a bewitching smile.

Rules of nobility, unspoken conventions, and logic were nothing but hot air to a Saint-level expert. What monarch, upon encountering a Saint-level powerhouse, wouldn't worship them like a god, kneeling and begging for their protection over their kingdom? Even if they knew a Saint-level expert belonged to an enemy nation, they would still show them sufficient respect.

Han Ning thought to himself that he had finally escaped unscathed. It seemed Zhao Wanqing hadn't said anything excessive to Hong Yi. Furthermore, based on his understanding of Zhao Wanqing, she wasn't the type to enjoy breaking up a couple. Besides, the past was the past; there was no need to dwell on it.

The arrival of the three men surprised the workers. They were essentially the only ones working here, and it was impossible for outsiders to reach this location; after all, even if they were to travel through these mountains, finding this specific spot would be impossible.

In the blink of an eye, Levistus launched 173 strikes, yet not a single one could pierce Tom's divine armor.

Liu Yaozu was the son of Liu Zhenglong, and Li Shiheng was the son of Li Haiping; both men shared a deep friendship with the Celestial Emperor.

"Then find a way yourselves. Buy it on the black market if you have to. This matter must be resolved. Since I’ve brought it up, if you intend to carry it out, then do it thoroughly; if not, then forget it!" Hu Long looked at them and declared.

Suddenly, battle cries erupted from behind. Luo Jingang, Cheng Ye, Yan San, and several brothers from the vanguard company charged out, wielding sharp blades.

In a moment, she would release the poisonous mist into the air; with a gust of wind, she could poison everyone in the hall. Only then would Huo Qing have a glimmer of hope for escape.

Xie Yufei nodded and said, "Understood. It’s just like how cats, dogs, cows, and sheep are all mammals, but they are clearly different from us humans."

Stepping onto the pier, Li Qingyun’s expression shifted dramatically; the shock he felt was beyond words. He looked at Daoist Master Chuyun, the word "spirit" on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed it back. After all, with Qi Dazhi and the other man present, some things were not convenient to discuss.

"This is something only you can understand. Sun Sheng doesn't want you to die, and you don't need to atone for anything. If you really needed to atone, you’ve killed so many people that you probably couldn't finish in a lifetime." Seeing that Ye Mingkai had truly calmed down, I reached out to pat his shoulder.

"Brother A-Cheng, do you feel that the Second Young Master has become even naughtier than before?" A-Xiang asked while cooking.

Shao Wei woke up after a violent coughing fit, and Shen Tong rose to leave. After changing his clothes, Shen Tong went to the cafeteria, where Shen Yaoqing had already delivered the piano.

Zhou Hui then sat down beside me, picked up the breakfast my mother had prepared by hand that morning, and began to eat slowly.

As for who exactly Wang Mei’s father was and what kind of multinational organization he controlled, the story had not yet reached the point where those details could be revealed.

I didn't disturb him, keeping watch to ensure no one bothered Yifan while he channeled his energy. The two junior martial brothers who had come with Yifan took the initiative to help him restore his internal strength, a gesture that touched me.

"Understood, understood. Then I shall take my leave." Xue Jiancheng turned to walk out, sparing one last glance at the person in the simple disguise before exiting.

But when they arrived, they saw that Tasa's men had been shot or arrested for resisting. They watched as Shen Tong and Tasa departed, immediately putting on the latest diving gear and slipping into the water to escape.
