Chapter 54: Forest Bell

"Hurry up, those two fellows are right ahead!"
"I just hope they die a bit slowly, otherwise if that beast has its fill and leaves, our trip will have been for nothing!"
"Don't worry, a juvenile sabertooth tiger loves to play with its food; it won't kill the two of them that quickly. We've hurried back at top speed, so we should make it in time!"
...
The two of them spoke as they climbed the stairs, and just as they stepped out of the elevator, they heard a baby crying, extremely loud and piercing.
From the very moment they were born, they had never been fed enough once, never slept soundly once, and never played once before being cast into a wooden tub.
Xun Yi did not dare linger before Fairy Jingshui; when Yuchan appeared, he still wore a vacant, absent-minded expression.
"Do not use your divine sense to scan upward!" Jiang Da issued a sharp warning, and then led the two of them plunging downward once more.
Bai Ruozhu glanced toward Jiang Yichun's doorway, hesitated for a moment, and walked over anyway. Her excuse to herself was to check whether he was truly undergoing his punishment; what if he took a shortcut and refused to kneel?
Ye Yan accompanied Xu Lang as they sat down, and Cheng Yiyi inquired about Jiayi and the child, while Ye Zhan, Bihe, and the other two reheated the dishes and brought them back into the room.
It turned out that this Dr. Yinsen had previously been captured by terrorists and imprisoned alongside Tony. Utilizing the crude equipment and raw materials provided by the terrorists, he and Tony had forged a suit of iron armor in the pitch-black underground base—which was also the very first-generation Iron Man armor.
Xu Lang pondered for a moment, seemingly grasping Gao Chen's intent—an idea that had never crossed his mind before. Attacking Nanpu was a feint; drawing Taomin's warships back to reinforce Nanpu was the true objective. By seizing the opportunity to annihilate Taomin's warships outside Nanpu, Taomin would naturally lose the chance to invade Japan.
Since both men felt a bit lightheaded after drinking, Rong Yan decided to head back, planning to return in the evening to watch the large-scale performance held inside the scenic area.
At that moment, the Sect Master fought on all fronts, barely managing to keep the other three gates from falling. However, the portals of all three swords had been pinned down by Laozi's Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda, and the banner gate formation had already been broken, leaving him gradually feeling unequal to the task.
In Wei Ye's mind, a single thought echoed: Could it be that the Youitian who had fought him previously, the Gold Saint whom he had injured before, was actually this fake Evans right before his eyes?
Yet upon seeing the filth from the latrine smeared across his lapel, the mood that had finally begun to improve plummeted instantly to rock bottom.
However, this son's dark-bellied nature was growing increasingly severe; he had actually begun shamelessly plotting against the baby.
"That's easy to handle. Loaches and swamp eels are pests, the public enemies of our 'In Agriculture, Learn from Daxhai' campaign. We must resolutely eliminate the enemy and contribute our strength to realizing the Four Modernizations," Zhao Zhengce said with an air of righteous severity, leaving Qin Lu and Tian Xinguang staring at each other in blank dismay.
Xisa looked up and outward, the words of a lifetime's transmission dying on his lips as he caught sight of a pink, beautiful figure drifting gracefully through the door.
Another day, she would certainly have to ask this lass; if possible, they too would descend to the mortal realm to undergo trials. With one point five million years of spiritual power, aside from the immortals who had already departed to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, there was not a single entity in the immortal realm today whose power could match hers.
Seeing that Chen Luanfeng was blessed with natural, pristine jade-like talent and had attained something akin to an indestructible diamond body due to special circumstances even before cultivating, Zhuang Wanggu conceived the desire to take her as a disciple to further bolster the strength of his Five Sacred Mountains. He therefore instructed Red Boy to discuss the matter with Chen Luanfeng.
Love was the most magical thing in the world; whether human, immortal, or demon, all were susceptible to being transformed by it.
Under the moonlight, that hand gently gathered the pink hair blown by the wind, a few stray strands brushing against Xisa's face, stirring wild fancies in his mind and making him completely forget that it was his turn to make a move.
To inflict harm upon her physical body would bring nothing more than a unilateral trauma; time was the best medicine, and once the dust settled, she and Wen Feihang might very well return to the way they once were.
