Chapter 13170 — Huang Xiu Looked Utterly Bewildered

To those being punished, the Red List was indeed a matter of monumental importance, but in the eyes of high-ranking elders of a league like this, it did not amount to so much as a speck of dust. Why on earth would they come in person?

Especially given the way they were treating Wei Zhao—there was none of the usual condescension, none of that looking down on everything from on high. If anything, they were rather amiable.

It was truly a little abnormal.

A flicker of worry passed through Huang Xiu's eyes.

Sure enough, the Crimson-Whiskered Elder's next words sent everyone's eyelids twitching violently: "Brother Wei Zhao, I've come this time on behalf of the Divine War League to discuss a secret-realm partnership with you..."

"Not at all—it's just that he's a touch short on patience, that's all." Damalanqi smoothed things over like the good-natured sort he was. Yeyu smiled and said nothing more, and the one who had spoken up earlier promptly sealed his lips as well.

This struggling, protruding human-shaped lump was the last "person" remaining in the secret chamber Nozomi Nami had just mentioned.

Though I had never tasted the like before, I understood well enough that this must be some kind of foreign liquor. Only, the taste was truly nasty beyond the ordinary—compared to that Niulanshan Erguotou, it was a damn sight worse by no small margin.

Ordinarily, Chen Feng slept very little, his nerves forever strung taut. Now that a rare chance had come, he would be a fool not to rest properly.

"All right then!" She agreed. I decided to take her to Li Chunmei's clubhouse, to let her experience one of the VIP private rooms there. To eat a single meal in that place, you couldn't get through the door without tens of thousands of yuan.

Yet at Er Dagunzi's foul-mouthed outburst, aside from the Japanese advisor disguised as a mute—who still glared at him with fury—Aizawa Saori's face wore an air of complete indifference.

"You!" Xiang Ying stared fixedly at him, and Xiang Yu met his gaze without yielding an inch, with not the slightest intention of backing down.

Brushing the snowflakes from his clothes, Chen Feng glanced at the three hundred snow peaks, then at Shenyou Tian sitting on the snow some dozen meters ahead, and his mind began to turn.

"Cotton Spree for defense, then Fire Blast!" Mo Yu called out, and then closed his eyes, looking for all the world as though the outcome was already decided and there was no need for him to keep watching.

If that was the case, then he had brought the other fellow down, and presumably no trouble would come of it.

She finished every last bit of the bowl of porridge and the glass of milk. The instant she was done, she wanted to vomit, but she held it back.

Ming Fei sat up in a fury and lunged at Yang Xue'er. With a resounding clang, she slammed into the wall of ice and was flung to the ground—this was the spell Yang Xue'er had just cast. Her magic was more than enough for self-defense.

The moment the door opened, a teacup came flying straight at her face. Luckily Song Ling dodged quickly; otherwise, a ghastly scar would have been left on her smooth, white forehead.

Before long, Qing Yue returned with a set of purple-clay tea ware, fine tea leaves, and sweet mountain spring water.

It was my homeroom teacher. Her face was ashen, her eyes fairly bulging from their sockets. She seized me by the collar and shook me hard, her lips trembling without pause, as though she had encountered something terrifying, clutching my shoulders with all her might and gasping for breath in great heaves.

The vulture had spoken true—the feeling this place gave off really did seem worthy of the word "holy." It was as though a compassionate light shrouded everything around, making those who lingered here feel very, very comfortable.

So she looked especially haggard at this moment, with great dark circles under her eyes, which were still red-rimmed.

That night I cursed Yu Xi three thousand six hundred times over in my heart, and the next morning, sporting two dark purple rings under my eyes, I welcomed the newcomer through the door with a smile.

I couldn't shake the feeling that Boss He had learned of yesterday's affair and wanted to make a show of her stance, so that Coach Deng would know she was a key talent the provincial team was grooming, and so that those troublemakers would think twice.

"You know full well it's a pit, and yet you've no choice but to jump in—what a grand scheme." At this point, a hint of mockery crept onto Li Li's face.

In particular, every line of the lyrics was steeped in feeling, and the entire audience was left dumbstruck.
