Chapter 56: Pet Manicures

But Yang Ming was different. By harnessing the Old Ones' ability to traverse the barriers between dimensions, he could invade other universes at will and seize their rules for himself.

Sid realized that the only places he could attack were the man's eyes and the unprotected throat above the spiked collar.

One could drink but didn't want to, one couldn't but forced himself, and the last both could and loved to drink.

Wan Kui, resilient by nature, did not utter a word of complaint in such dire circumstances. Instead, she once again set her sights on the man in the black robe.

The Black Eagle guards, armed with heavy shields and long spears, formed defensive ranks, while soldiers with crossbows and firearms sought advantageous positions for a volleyed counterattack. Judging by the formation, they could still hold out a while longer.

For instance, Aunt Liu once had a rotten tooth, decayed right down to the root. The pain was excruciating, and whenever it became unbearable, she would go to Long Qixu for some medicine to relieve her toothache.

The shopkeeper, at that very moment, was gleefully counting out a thick wad of banknotes when he heard Feng Wangshu call out. He quickly came over with a beaming smile.

The Wolf Spider grinned viciously and swung his fists. The web instantly yanked Gwen and Peter II toward him with irresistible force, sending their bodies hurtling through the air and crashing violently into the museum.

But regardless of the situation, Lu Yao didn't hesitate. He wrapped his arms around her thighs and shot into the sky, returning to the company at the speed of light.

After helping Lu Yao make up a makeshift bed on the sofa, the group sat in the living room eating snacks and chatting for a while before heading off to their respective rooms to sleep.

Meanwhile, the man was solemnly holding a sword, skewering a piece of meat, and roasting it over a heap of multicolored flames, muttering to himself all the while.

In truth, though the Tianlong Continent was in a far better state than Earth today and had never faced a crisis of spiritual depletion, the cultivation of its supreme powers seemed to have reached a strange, invisible bottleneck.

The next day, Ye Zhong took Xiao Meier to tour the cold weapons factory at Tongliang Mountain. Exquisitely crafted weapons were being produced in endless succession, most notably a repeating crossbow machine capable of continuous fire, provided you could keep up with its ammunition consumption.

Who could say whether Bai Yu's mind was disturbed, leading to hallucinations and confusion? According to legend, only those cosmic wonders deemed worthy by the laws of the stars and granted the authority of those laws could possess intelligence.

Later, by some twist of fate, he participated in the first game programming contest held by Enix. That was what gave Yuji Horii's life a brand-new beginning.

As the highest commander of Leiderson and outwardly the most powerful humanoid, Leiderson had his own exclusive mech—a flamboyant, gold-painted flying machine that was impossible to miss.

The bloody "massacre" did not cease. The State of Zhao seemed determined to assault the Fengyi Army's position, sending wave after wave of infantry into the deadly ten-mile "minefield." In the end, those infantrymen either died within the minefield or fell on the way toward the musketeers' defensive line.

Han Ge walked over and saw Ye Tian. His expression instantly changed, and memories of past abuse flashed before his eyes, cold sweat trickling from his brow.

Even if not, the Museum of Flora and Fauna opened at six. Waiting at the entrance was far better than wandering aimlessly in the mountains.

If things really were as Ling Hao said, then they would truly be embarrassed—almost wetting themselves over a false alarm. If word got out, it would be utterly humiliating.

A lively discussion was underway when the sound of cars came from outside. They immediately realized it was the kids returning with the new vehicle, so they put away their playing cards and stepped out of the kiln.

Hmph, what did she have to feel aggrieved about? The man recalled the news he had received the previous day and still felt a surge of anger.

The bright lights rendered Canghai's Uncle Sam persona strangely menacing in a comical way.

Seated on her bed, she stretched and then called Fang Yacen to give her an update on the current situation.

Li Wei watched as Xia Fan clasped her hand, feeling the warmth of his palm, and could not help but be moved.

With murderous intent surging, it seemed as if all space for movement had been completely sealed off by this overwhelming force—there was no chance to dodge at all.

Liu Sanqian watched the man walk away, a surge of indescribable emotion welling up inside her. She suddenly wanted to call out to him, unwilling to watch his departing figure.

Especially Master Liu Yiheng, who had plotted against Xia Fan. Goosebumps erupted all over his body, his heart unsteady, and it seemed as if fear and dread might cause it to stop beating at any moment.

Given Wang Na's notoriously wild temperament, seeing them together would surely drive her mad with jealousy, so I was instantly delighted.

Just as they were about to continue their conversation, a sudden commotion erupted outside—a clamorous chaos of chickens and dogs.

With a clear chime, a flash of cold light swept by. A bear warrior charging with a broadsword was instantly cleaved in two. As the bear's body slowly collapsed, a burly figure appeared at its side.

If the other party continued to hesitate, perhaps it was time to make the first move! Maybe give that divine beast Bai Ze a little surprise? Without giving anything away, the true form of Shiyue of Flower-Fruit Mountain's gaze darkened imperceptibly.

The chairman did not answer directly but instead glanced into Ning Tianlin's eyes and spoke slowly. He had not expected the young man's intelligence to be so accurate—regarding Unit 001, there were likely no more than ten people in all of China who knew of it.

"The other juniors may not be of much use, but perhaps this alchemy technique can be deciphered," Zhao Qian finally decided after a moment's hesitation. If the old Taoist had already produced his most treasured secrets, it was only right that he should contribute as well.
