Chapter 74: Sun Zhiqiang Has Someone Else

After sending the two children outside to play, everyone sat together in the main hall.

Mother Gu spoke first, “Second son, I asked you to stay because I want you to help your sister make a decision.”

Gu Tingzhou more or less understood what this was about, yet he feigned ignorance and asked, “What’s going on with Tinghua?”

Elder Brother Gu chimed in as well, “Tinghua, did Sun Zhiqiang bully you?”

Sister-in-law Gu huddled in the corner, trying to minimize her presence while pricking up her ears, looking every bit the gossip. She had been puzzling over this all afternoon—what was truly happening? Her sister-in-law hadn’t come home for Mid-Autumn Festival, and now she’d returned alone, heavily pregnant.

It wasn’t just Xiao Xiao; even Meimei beside her harbored similar thoughts. How different could an Earth Immortal really be from a cultivator at the Tribulation Crossing stage? Though they knew, in theory, that those at the Tribulation Crossing were still human, while Earth Immortals had transcended that category, for them now, this path didn’t seem so very distant.

“See…” Ye Qing spread her hands. “You admit yourself that you’re exaggerating a bit, so why should I play nice? Oh, perhaps you don’t really know what kind of person I am.”

But the old man was also forcibly pushed back by an endless surge of force, retreating several meters away, temporarily securing Chu Chen’s safety.

Originally, inviting Ma Youde had been a shot in the dark, but to everyone’s surprise, the moment Ma Youde saw those corpse-like zombies, his expression changed dramatically.

In his hand, the “Farewell Hook” swept toward Xiao Yu with earth-shattering power. Xiao Yu’s heart tightened—what terrifying strength! Even more formidable than Qing Yang of the Xuandao Sect.

Luo Feng knew he couldn’t refuse—he truly did need someone to manage this estate. He nodded in agreement.

If it weren’t for his Chaotic Vortex reaching the fourth level and the immense true essence stored in the awakened eight vortexes, he would have long since run dry and become meat on the chopping block.

Before I could recover, a fierce wind swept past my ear. I grabbed Ning Kewei’s right hand, which was about to slap me. “There’s no need to hit me every time you see me!” I stared coldly at her.

With a deafening roar, the Ghost Bear clenched his right fist, which burned like a blazing sun, and suddenly swung it toward Jiu You.

Once, the wolf demons had ruled Hengshan City, strutting wherever they pleased. The fox demons would kneel before them, not daring to lift their heads. Now, they cowered in fear, hiding their faces.

At the same time, Sima Xing, upon seeing Sima Yue, revealed a rare look of satisfaction at his own cunning.

The floating totem of the golden-furred mouse in the sky reminded Long Xuan of the array’s core at the eighth oasis in the desert.

“If not for his obsession with you, how could I have been so lucky as to hear you call me ‘husband’? Someday, when I revisit that old place, I must find him and thank him in person.” Remembering those days, Jiu Huang’s brows arched in a smile as he toyed with the game piece.

She had been rising late these days, and Kui shared her schedule. After watering the peach trees, he went as usual to the clearing for training. Sensing his growth through their affinity, she silently added several streams of ghostly energy, allowing Kui to better absorb yin energy and strengthen his cultivation.

Speed is of the essence in battle. Since most demon soldiers couldn’t fly, Wang Fa ordered Maya to assemble this unit of demons at the border of the Song Demon Kingdom, while he and Long Lin Long Bao hastened to the royal city, Gele City.

She struggled to break free, but Zuo Chen held her tightly—no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t escape.

Turning to Lan Yancheng, Wen Yuru could hardly believe that this terrifying aura was truly emanating from him.

Li Xiang, helpless, grabbed his school uniform and dove under the covers. When he emerged, he was already dressed, and as he got out of bed, he felt a little embarrassed.

After a hasty lunch, the entire afternoon was spent engaged in combat and hunting. Through their teamwork and careful observation, Zuo Chen discovered the unique talents of the two sisters.

Just as Yuya was about to speak, the sound of a flute rose again, the melody subtly changed. Yuya glanced at Yuxuan, a hint of surprise in her eyes, yet she began to speak.
