Chapter 54: Heaven Born Me to Be of Use

At three in the afternoon, in Chu Hengkong's single dormitory.

In the living room stood a newly purchased spring dummy, swaying incessantly like a roly-poly doll at the slightest movement. Chu Hengkong circled the dummy, launching water balloons at a dizzying speed. His technique was extraordinary. Dozens of water balloons burst with popping sounds upon impact, yet their force dissipated like mud sinking into the sea, leaving the dummy unmoved.

For a long time, the living room echoed only with the sound of footsteps and crackling impacts.

This time, however, Pangu did not attack the soul of the Night Sky as before, nor did he strike at the Soul of the Word Demon.

Then Hao Zhishen awakened the princess by splashing cold water and pressing her acupressure point, forcibly tossing her into the bathtub and removing her clothes.

For Zang Hu, his eyes held no ordinary fondness for beauty. When Xiao Tianxiong saved his life, he had already decided to regard himself as a tool at Xiao Tianxiong’s disposal. Thus, even now, if Xiao Tianxiong ordered Zang Hu to die on the spot, he wouldn’t hesitate for a second.

Fang Yan hurled the thug he was strangling aside, then leapt forward to seize a baseball bat swung by another thug, wresting it away and striking the man’s head fiercely.

With Luo Bo leading twelve players of the East Courtyard basketball team onto the court, the activity center erupted into a commotion, buzzing with excitement.

McDow said, "No problem, it’ll only take a few minutes!" After speaking, he began operating the computer, activating various satellite ray scans to obtain a clear understanding of the entire hotel’s situation, ultimately producing a detailed structural blueprint of the hotel and surrounding buildings. Once finished, he moved on to test the communication system.

After he hung up the phone, the previously quiet crowd erupted into murmurs, whispering among themselves. Clearly, they were discussing to whom Ye Fan had been calling earlier and why those two had exchanged such words during their conversation.

These were not just a few skeletons—there were over a hundred. Though low-level creatures, each wielded weapons and felt no pain, impervious to talismans. Unless shattered completely, they would continually rise again. Hence, the scruffy Taoist felt he had somewhat overestimated himself.

“Cute-looking, highly skilled in sorcery, and agile…” Such were the assessments, though it remained uncertain whether the cuteness was genuine.

Above the sea, the yacht churned white waves, resembling two dragons from a bird’s-eye view—one charging ahead, the other in pursuit.

Taking advantage of Zhang Silan’s moment to organize his tools, Jiutian felt compelled to correct the other’s attitude.

In his hands, the ornate flintlock pistol vanished, replaced by an even larger and more splendid flintlock.

“This is one way! Of course, you can give up. There are many skilled fighters in this world; you can pay to hire them…” Lin Feng was not deliberately trying to change Su Yuxing but aimed to guide him.

“Lin Feng?! That’s Lin Feng.” Upon hearing the name, Su Hexu’s expression shifted slightly, followed by a violent coughing fit.

A short, dark, thin man wore a tiger-skin jacket and a black cloak. His shifty eyes and sly eyebrows gave him a sinister look. Although he seemed no good, it was hard to associate him with the title of Demon King.

“Those are Princess Zhaoyang and Lady Luoxia, who cooperate with Aunt Qing. Do you think they’re capable?” Ouyang Ling felt a bit uneasy but still revealed the matter.

Zig’s eyes flashed with anger, his face darkening. The salesperson’s expression turned grim as he shot a threatening glance at Zig.

“Miss, what exactly are you trying to do?” Seeing the young lady place the fried fish aside and begin preparing a sauce, Yao Niang was puzzled. Although a cook herself, she only knew how to steam or braise fish, and other methods were beyond her.
