Chapter 36: Everything Is Up to You

Seeing that Ying Shu remained silent, Ying Li continued, "From what I know, the pills you gave us cost several hundred million each. That’s over a billion for the three of us. Where did you get so much money? You haven’t done anything illegal, have you?"

Ying Shu, who was contemplating how to explain, had never intended to keep secrets from her family. She had been looking for an opportunity to tell them, otherwise, she wouldn't know how to justify the Ying family's imminent transformation into billionaires.

"Grandfather, speak—"

Chu Minghua let out a deep sigh, picked up the medicine bowl from the table, and downed it in one gulp.

The two of them played and bickered quietly while waiting for Nan Jue to break through the barrier woven with yellow lightning.

"Let’s move out to the main vein of the Heavenly Prison. I hope you all have better luck when we get there!" Ai Fei stopped delaying and, after a brief instruction, headed toward the dedicated airport at the foothills of the Changbai main range.

"Why are you bringing up the Earl of Xinjian? Did someone say something to you?" Li Fengyu asked.

Tilting his head, Su Chen watched Yang Zihuan’s tall, graceful silhouette, a flicker of fury surfacing in his eyes.

Endure for a moment and the winds will calm; take a step back and the sky will open wide. Xiao Zhenguang had followed Master Chen for over a decade; he refused to believe that Master Chen would simply abandon him.

In all likelihood, the system waits until my level increases before consuming a vast amount of exotic tales and curiosities.

Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Chen Lin were on relatively good terms; otherwise, they wouldn't have been invited to the banquet.

It was over five hundred meters from the breach to the laboratory building, with a forest in between. Brother Peng had calculated for him that there were about thirty security personnel on the perimeter.

Upon hearing this, Liang Jinghong’s elderly face froze once more. After all, he knew about the history between Su Chen and Yang Zihuan; how could Su Chen have a new wife in less than a year?

"That is my virtue. Thank you for the compliment; I accept your praise, haha..." Lei nodded cheerfully and said.

"All personnel along the route, heighten your vigilance and be prepared to respond to emergencies at any time." After finishing, Lei stopped paying attention to the various reports coming through the communicator and instead spoke with Fukuda Kazuo, seemingly analyzing the results of the negotiations.

After pondering for a long while, Hu Ao could find no clues regarding the path to the Angel Realm. Sighing helplessly, he turned and stepped into the portal leading to the Demon Realm.

Seeing the light merge into Xiu’er’s forehead, Hu Ao breathed a sigh of relief. He sat cross-legged beside her, expanding his divine sense to observe the surroundings and protect her while she cultivated.

The terrifying force of the punch tore through the void, striking the Silver Dragon Fish Monster with lightning speed. It let out a shrill cry before plummeting heavily into the cold pool.

This level of awareness and execution—let alone Diamond rank, even many high-star Honor Kings couldn't achieve this, could they?

"Hahaha, that’s a very vivid analogy. When I was younger and more hot-headed, I often felt furious at our Chinese scientific community for their lack of progress, knowing only how to copy. I wondered why they couldn't come up with some 'black technology' instead of just boasting all day. It turns out the tools were just too inferior!" Chen Bao suddenly realized.

"I agree with the Captain’s suggestion." Bai Tieyi looked things over himself before nodding in agreement.

Blood Eye glanced at me expressionlessly, then silently walked to a crate in the corner, pulled out a new type of automatic rifle from a sealed box, and sat on the crate to tinker with it alone.

However, he recalled that the benefits for someone newly ascended to the Spirit Realm included five spirit stones and three Foundation-Building Pills, which were indeed generous.

Time ticked away; the facehugger died, Kane was resurrected, the crisis passed, and the teammates returned. Everyone was in high spirits, yet this was only the beginning of the deaths.

"Sizzle." During the fierce battle, a gust of wind-blade pierced through layers of defense, leaving a deep wound on Jin Dazhi’s body as blood gushed out.

Spotting the opportunity when his opponent’s focus wavered due to exhaustion, Mizuki intensified the force of his attacks.
