Chapter 97: You Are Fiercer Than the Gunman

When they thought the van might be empty, the white van suddenly sped away.

Now everyone knew something was wrong.

Damon and Oxi exchanged a glance. Damon slammed on the accelerator and gave chase.

Oxi grabbed the radio and reported the situation to the dispatch center, requesting backup.

The white van, with the police car in pursuit, drove for a while. Perhaps feeling it was futile, it finally stopped by the roadside in a residential area.

Oxi and Damon drew their pistols.

Fifteen alchemists from the demon clan had been brewing pills; fourteen of them cheated and all met a tragic end. This was not only humiliating—it was the greatest disgrace to their entire demon race.

Wu Feng’s mouth bled profusely as he glared at Pan Lin with hatred, clearly sensing that his death was imminent.

Being teased was one thing, but to think it was by a beast—this was utterly humiliating.

“Hahaha, I wonder what Beiming Shun is up to now. Maybe he’s looking for us?” Nangong Yao joked cheerfully.

“That’s not a decision you can make in a day,” I said softly, seeing Shui Se’s sorrowful expression. I couldn’t bear to say more and left it to time to ease her pain.

Though Lan Jinling and the others were also peak-tier deities, this python was even harder to deal with. It was understandable they needed so many against it.

Gu Qingshuang lay still for a while, realizing her injuries were not as severe as she had feared. Since she was still alive, her resolve to sacrifice herself waned. If she could survive, she would find a place to hide, live out her days quietly, and never return to report back. If no one found her, they would surely assume she was dead.

“Sigh… you really met your match in her this lifetime,” Mu Hua sighed, looking at Xiao Ze with a mix of disappointment and frustration.

“The more gossip you hear, the calmer you become,” Su Yanjue said, his deep voice whispering in Ran Yunduan’s ear like a sweet flood of honey.

“All right then,” the little pug barked excitedly. This matter was entirely his; nobody would dare challenge him for it.

“What did you say?” Standing atop the mountain peak, he clasped his hands behind his back, feeling an inexplicable melancholy. That girl actually disliked him so much? He was no great enemy of hers.

It was as if… as if she had seen countless men naked before. The thought made him deeply uncomfortable.

“Does His Majesty have someone in his heart?” Qing Fang mustered her courage to ask. Such a question was a grave disrespect to the empress. It was accepted that the emperor had three palaces, six courts, and seventy-two consorts. Even if she suspected his heart belonged elsewhere, she could only endure it silently.

While speaking, Lin Yuan accepted a knife from the steward’s hand and grabbed the thawed chicken, resuming chopping.

If I wasn’t mistaken, his eyes held a multitude of emotions. Yet the word “treasure” from his mouth distracted me from pondering what he truly felt.

Hearing footsteps laden with obvious displeasure fade away, Aunt Luo’s lips curled intoI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
