Chapter 40: Shi Yun, I Like You

When Mother Wang saw the two descending the stairs, she hurried to pull out their chairs. "How is the Madam? Has the fever broken?"

The title "Madam" left Shi Yun momentarily stunned.

She nodded with a touch of awkwardness. "It’s gone."

Fu Siyu curled his lips into a smile as he watched her. "Eat up."

Shi Yun nodded and picked up her chopsticks, only to realize that every dish on the table was one of her favorites.

Mother Wang, standing to the side, beamed with a face full of smiles. "See if it suits your taste, Madam."

"Yes, I want to get back into the rhythm of work as soon as possible." Xixi hoped to fill the profound void in her life with a busy work schedule. Old Ai was gone, and he had taken the essence of Xixi’s heart with him.

That day, when Yang Pan and Chen Heng joined forces to slay the Evil God, the Pangu Axe was snatched away into the air. However, this divine artifact did not fall into their hands, but instead vanished without a trace. As for its spirit, Zhu Wushi, his soul had long since scattered into oblivion.

At this moment, the origin avatar of Jiang Yun had summoned all the thunder from the entire Dao-Rising World. The quantity was so vast that it was beyond counting; it was as if the space in the picture had completely transformed into a world of thunder.

Inside the mountain cave, the human elder brought news of victory. Many humans of Kamila were arriving at the western peaks one after another. Now, the morale of the human coalition was soaring; they were all waiting for Lin Yun's command to reclaim the great city that belonged to them.

"Alright, let's go. By the way, it seems that Senior Huo Tianlin and Qin Feng are also going to Japan for a trip. We should get in touch and meet up when we’re there; it’ll be livelier with more people." Since things were mostly settled, I picked up my backpack, ready to set off, and told them about the contact I had made with Senior Huo Tianlin yesterday.

The living beings within the Dao-Rising World had no idea that a chessboard even existed, nor did they know that the chessboard had boundaries, because they were incapable of stepping outside of it.

Having traveled this path many times, we arrived at the location, but as we reached the door, we happened to run into someone who had just stepped out, pulling up his pants... er... how to describe it? A colleague? A fellow traveler?

He had already broken through to the Golden Core stage, while Fang Jun was still only at the Innate Purple Qi stage. Naturally, he didn't give Fang Jun a second thought.

The members of the Seven Blade Sect dared not doubt him, for they all knew that Luo Tianying’s "Heart Pupil" could foresee what would happen within the next second. Instantly, they shifted their bodies to the side, moving away from the Skeleton Emperor.

Yet, in the face of this, Yan Tianxi merely sneered. He didn't even drop the arms he had crossed over his chest, his face filled with utter disdain.

Even Jiang Han would never have found this place if he hadn't seen the marker for Wood Ghost City in the assembly cabin.

Under the opponent’s fierce, powerful punch, the three bullets in his abdomen pierced through the muscle layer and vanished deep into his body, leaving no trace. Only the shadow of a golden bullet head was faintly visible at the wound near his heart.

At this moment, Qian Qingtian’s fists were clenched so tightly they bled. His conflict with Chen Xiao could no longer be resolved; it was essentially a situation where only one of them could remain. Naturally, the greater Chen Xiao’s potential and strength, the more dangerous he became to him.

"Mr. Chu, would you be willing to promise me one thing?" Wei Yan raised his wine glass toward Chu Zifeng, his voice booming.

"You wanton, slutty woman, I think you've gone mad!" Gao Wan revealed the truth, hoping to goad her into saving him, but he never expected the backlash; it only invited a torrent of curses from Weng Yutong. His scheme failed, and he became incredibly frustrated, breaking into a string of insults himself.

He had once endured the tribulations of three lifetimes to forge this heart dedicated to the Dao—a heart so pure that even figures like Old Feng envied it and praised it endlessly. It was a pity that from the North Seal Realm to the Earth Demon Kingdom, Ye Yang had never felt the benefits of this Daoist heart, and now, he had almost forgotten its existence.

But to reach the Profound Qi stage before the age of eighteen—even among the geniuses of the great families in the cities, few could achieve it, let alone those in rural areas without any training resources. The number of villagers who could break through to the Profound Qi stage was truly countable on one's fingers.
