Volume 1, Chapter 26: Spatial Resonance

After the apocalypse, he witnessed his parents die tragic deaths one after another to ensure his and his sister’s survival, followed by a harrowing escape. Having cheated death, he was struck by the formidable power and methods displayed by Xia Haoran, which fueled an urgent desire within him to become strong.

Qiao Song stared at her parents with wide eyes. What had happened during her absence to cause such a complete turnaround in their attitude toward Su Yinzheng? She gestured toward the man grinning craftily outside the door and said, "My parents want you to come in."

However, they were unaware that today’s events had made Wang Dawei and Su Ming despise Zhao Zixian, and by extension, the Zhao Family Hot Pot restaurant.

These two were among the first section-chief-level officials Chang Ning had met since taking office. Because they had privately intercepted money orders sent by migrant workers, Chang Ning had publicly disciplined them and ordered them to stop work for inspection on the spot. Ever since then, they had been cowed, repeatedly trying to seek out Chang Ning, only to be blocked by Li Xiaolun.

The fruit cat was also busy with important business: protecting its master from a lecher. In other words, it was biting Jill with all its might.

Chang Ning did not dare to delay and hurried to the door, instructing Gu Fangfang, the director of the municipal government office, to fetch some food.

"I'm fine, perhaps I just didn't sleep well last night. It's nothing to worry about." Su Yi felt grateful, but she could not stop the work at hand, so she replied and began washing the clothes in the basin.

If they didn't buy it soon, once others learned that Wang Haoming possessed such a high-end piece of material, his home would surely be swamped, making it much harder to acquire.

Jiang Hai clenched his palms repeatedly, unleashing the Seven-Kill Sonic Blast, but without exception, every strike was blocked by the ghostly blue veil in front of the Ethereal Spirit.

But Zhao Zixian seemed not to hear, picking up a dagger and slicing through the ropes binding Lin Luodan. As soon as the ropes were cut, Lin Luodan collapsed into Zhao Zixian's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

Rong Xun leaned against the wall before the palace hall and closed his eyes in despair. Perhaps he should have been used to it, right? It wasn't the first time she had rejected him.

Over the course of a year, her bond with Bai Yu and Dongfang Le grew stronger, and the three became like sisters.

Lying on the bed, Qiao Chu closed her eyes. Only after the wave of dizziness passed did she open them again.

Mo Youxun hurriedly said, "I cherish you too much to ever feel repulsed by you. My greatest regret in this life is not being by your side while you were pregnant and not being able to see Jue'er born."

Appearing in his room early in the morning, she showed no trace of shyness or avoidance, even when faced with his just-woken state, instead staring at him openly.

Buggy was dragged onto the shore by Zoro, looking as though he had lost the will to live. Furthermore, he was forbidden from bringing his subordinates ashore, Zoro claiming that the members of the Buggy Pirates looked too grotesque and would ruin the city's appearance.

Xiu Qiqi had already finished all her scheduled work for the day, and had even exceeded her goals, so she felt quite relaxed. The audio lesson she had originally planned to listen to at the party no longer needed to be brought along.

Rong Rong was at her wits' end; she had been trying to complete exams for several credits ahead of schedule, but the application process didn't seem to be going smoothly.

Later, she met Beiming Xie. That man was handsome and treated her with meticulous care. Slowly, she gave him her heart, losing both her body and her soul to him.

Qiao Zhixuan smiled slightly and, under the gaze of everyone, lifted her skirt and walked toward the announcer.

Meanwhile, in a crude camp seventeen miles behind Karthus, a burly sorcerer with rugged features stood leaning over a large map, lost in thought.

"I really want to see what you look like, young lady. With such a lovely voice, you must be beautiful too," the old grandmother said, holding Jiang Xinyi's hand.

As the banquet ended and guest after guest was seen off, the lights in the many residences of the Gu family gradually flickered out.

Of course, because it was at a microscopic level, Ye Qiu hadn't felt anything before. Just as humans cannot see microbes with the naked eye, no matter how wide one stares, it remains invisible without the aid of instruments.

"Heh heh heh, Master, look, no need for us to chase," Lian Cheng said with a hint of pride. An Pengfei ignored him and gathered his strength to give chase. Knowing he could likely catch up, he didn't bother borrowing horses from Liu Jun and the others.

Gu Feng thought it over, and the only reasonable explanation was that there was a secret hidden within the River of Forgetfulness.

"Lock the door..." Such scenes had occurred too many times in the past; often she would go to sleep first, and he would enter later.

"Big brother, big brother, let's talk this out, let's talk this out." The old woman was truly frightened and immediately began to beg.

"He must not be possessed by the Spirit King, otherwise, once the Spirit King descends, I will have a hard time dealing with him!" The Ghost Emperor knew that due to the world's restrictions, one's cultivation could reach at most the half-step Emperor level; even a genius like the Spirit King would be the same here.

Yang Qiaolian was no longer harsh to her mother-in-law, even competing to do the chores around the house. However, she was very tight with money, always feeling that her mother-in-law was a bit muddled, preferring to buy whatever was needed rather than handing cash directly to her.

Every word she spoke was heartwarming, and her tone was never stern or critical, which prevented them from feeling any resistance.

Seeing that Ming Shang was not in the room and noticing the back window was open, Lady Liu understood everything.

At night, Yun Ji finished the lessons assigned by his teacher under the lamp. The workload was three times the usual amount; taking leave was allowed, but it came with a penalty. He had promised his mother he would return to school tomorrow; if he didn't finish his work tonight, he would be tormented by his teacher again tomorrow.

The creatures looked at each other. They had been discussing the matter, feeling as though they smelled a fragrance, and that scent seemed to be emanating from Wen Quan's embrace.

She was here to find someone, not to buy anything. Luo Qingyu thought for a moment, then stepped forward and tapped on the glass door.

Soon, the SMS notifications for Luo Qingyu's two bank cards were set up. When she saw the balance in her accounts, she nearly vomited blood and fainted from excitement.

"You all know that the most impressive thing about the Ancient Barbarian Lord is his toned muscles. Look at these perfect lines of mine; I inherited them from the Ancient Barbarian Lord," Man Gu said, showing off his biceps and pectoral muscles.
