Chapter 62: Half a Year Later

Zhongli let out a light sigh and continued, "It's just that the residual power within the bones is also limited. Having weathered the erosion of time, the power of the dragon bones has long since grown weak. While it can still sustain the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in nurturing immortal herbs, the yield will be drastically reduced."

"I figured that when Yu'er brought the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well back to the Spirit Hall, she certainly didn't want to see this happen. That is why I went out of my way to seek out these Seven-Element Crystal Butterflies. To achieve this, I galloped across the other six nations in a single day to ask the six deities for..."

When Xiyue arrived at the island where Lu Xiao was located, the Dragon Demon Holy Lord and Shi Jinglun were already engaged in a fierce battle. Both parties were prominent and formidable factions in the Netherworld, which Xiyue knew very well. Seeing that Shi Jinglun was actually protecting the Heavenly Gang Star Lu Xiao, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Mother Feng had anticipated this situation long ago, and publicly announced that Hanchu had fallen ill and would resume receiving guests only after a full recovery. Hearing this, those ravenous men, though extremely impatient, did not give Drunken Flower House too much trouble.

The seven corpse-transformed zombies paused briefly before lunging at the two people before them once again. With sharp claws and canine teeth bared, they aimed straight for the chests of the two, clearly intending to rip out their hearts and devour them alive.

The sight was so unbelievable that even I found it hard to process, let alone old Zhang and the others, who stood frozen like a bunch of blockheads.

The two of them enjoyed a most pleasant conversation that day. Upon parting, Long Huamian cordially invited Huan Zhen to visit his home next time, mentioning that he had many trinkets brought from his homeland to show him. It was rare for Huan Zhen to make a foreign acquaintance in this era, so he readily agreed.

Then Gongsun Huang had Li Bailian fetch hot water. When Li Bailian teased Gongsun Huang and asked if she wanted her help in bathing Su Xing, she was blown out of the room by a gust of wind sent by the Heavenly Leisure Star.

Tiansheng felt a stir in his heart; this was unmistakably Jing Ruoyun's voice. It seemed she was watching from the sidelines, and perhaps constrained by the presence of Qi Yinyang, she could only assist him in secret.

After Kawaguchi, the manager of that Japanese restaurant, was arrested, they sent another senior executive to take over. Business remained as good as ever. Qin Feng hadn't been there for a long time and really felt like dropping by to see why those Japanese people clung so stubbornly to Yincheng and refused to leave.

These scorpions also had a dark, metallic texture, their entire bodies steel-colored. Some even varied in hue, resembling rusted red scorpions, black scorpions, and the other types.

Everyone fell silent. When it came to sheer firepower, Luowei was the most qualified person to speak here. Since he said so, there should be no problem at all.

This profession was simply too great, and these people worked far too hard. Should she consider packing up some meals for them to take away when she came out later, just to reward them for their hard work?

Jiang Feng instantly froze and dared not move. These security guards all looked burly and fierce; if he provoked any of them, he would probably be thrown out of the restaurant horizontally.

"Madam!" At this moment, Steward Qiu walked over carrying two bowls of tea. Qingyue asked, "Why is the baby lingering at the doorway instead of coming in?" Was it because she didn't see me inside that she didn't come in?

Recalling this, Xu Yingdie lowered her gaze slightly toward Li Yunqing, who was helping her lead the horse, and gently curved the corners of her lips. When she remained silent, she looked exceptionally elegant and noble.

Zhang Su's original strength was not weak, but she never expected that Ye Feng would break free from the ropes in an instant. At such close range, she had no time to react before being restrained by Ye Feng, throwing her into a momentary panic.

The buzzing, crackling electric web overhead had charred the vines to a crisp. The zombies added a fresh layer unhurriedly, blocking the electric web tier by tier, and eagerly paced around Jiu'er as a reverse wind disrupted her hearing.

The clamor of Vermilion Bird began at the break of dawn. The military conducted investigations and inquiries of all surviving esperants, going door-to-door and comparing the findings against existing records.

However, what brought peace of mind to Ling Feng was that the onlookers seemed to have no intention of meddling; they stepped back a distance to make their stance clear.
