Chapter 133: Within the Game 13

"You can afford it, can you? Mo Qinghan, does your 'affording it' mean spending a few more nights in my bed, or perhaps a few more in Shang Linjun's?" He Zheyu roared at Mo Qinghan, his face dark with fury. He did not loosen his grip on her chin; if anything, he pressed harder.

Mo Qinghan, caught off guard by the sudden increase in pressure, winced in pain as tears welled up and rolled down, dripping onto the back of He Zheyu’s hand. Only then did He Zheyu realize he had gone too far, and he pulled away. He leaned against the window, struggling to calm his turbulent emotions.

Two red marks immediately bloomed on Mo Qinghan’s chin. She listened to his sarcastic words, offering neither rebuttal nor explanation, and merely gave a faint laugh.

This left Zhang Wuji feeling a twinge of regret. If he could control hundreds of sword auras at once, the sheer spectacle of shouting "Sword, come!" and unleashing thousands of blades simultaneously was enough to make anyone’s blood boil just thinking about it.

The two men looked grim. "Since the Church’s army has been stationed directly opposite the main gate, we have neglected the defenses on the flanks. Not to mention that now, with a full-scale counterattack imminent, the side gate will likely be blown open before any reinforcements can arrive," Jason said, his face twisted in dismay.

Su Zixu didn't find anything amiss and turned to head home. Only when Su Nian’an heard the footsteps fading into the distance did she pull away from Qiao Chu, recoiling as if from a contagion.

Before she went to the Second World, the thirty years she spent in the Space-Time Department were no joke. She had been practicing her marksmanship the entire time.

Uncle Rong did not ask why Ye Ran had set the exit there, nor did he want to know; even if he did, it would be useless. The important thing was simply being able to get out.

"Are you still not enlightened?" His tone remained unchanged, yet I felt as though I were being interrogated.

"That's it, let's go!" Beidou smiled faintly. His aura began to contract sharply. This was a common tactic in ambushes: by suppressing one's presence beforehand and unleashing it all at once during combat, one could significantly boost their momentum and temporarily amplify their strength.

"It is absolutely true." Beidou’s eyes told Hai Tongtian that he was not lying. If a combined strike of the Ghost King Sword and the Ghost King Flame couldn't handle that foul fish, he might as well return his Ghost King bloodline to Leonhardt.

The master of ceremonies handed the microphone to Qin Muchen. He took her hand, guiding her through the gaze of the crowd. Su Nian’an looked at the smiles in her parents' eyes, then caught the profound affection in his. Perhaps being engaged to him wasn't so bad after all.

"Your very existence has completely obstructed us..." Beidou rolled his eyes, but before he could finish, an aura far more powerful than those of Ling Tianchen or Leonhardt descended from the sky, stunning everyone into silence.

Before Wu Hai could finish his sentence, he felt a sudden, blinding flash of light before his eyes! He could see nothing at all.

"If you don't know how to swim, why even come into the water? Now I have to haul you onto the shore like a dead pig," Yang Lefan remarked, his tone shifting as he offered a ghostly, mocking smile.

"I do not know what the 'Secrets of Heaven' are," the Daoist Venerable White-Brow said, his face expressionless and his eyes hollow as he spoke in a daze.

Jiang Ming never missed, nor would his shots suffer from the slightest error; the way his arrows flew was exactly as he intended.

She pulled her hand from Mama Hong’s grasp, her gaze darkening. "Even if you asked me to seduce someone for him, would he still not come? Does he not even want to use me anymore?" she asked herself internally, though she did not speak the words aloud. After a moment, she rose and paced back to her room.

The Supreme Grand Elder looked at his grandson, smiled, and shook his head. "I am fine, Kui, I was just caught off guard for a moment." With that, the Supreme Grand Elder stood up from Zhang Kui’s embrace.

He let go of the past—all those longings, those precious memories, those things that caused such sorrow... they were all illusions.

"This..." Yekaterina was left speechless. She knew that countless things had happened to Yevgeniya that she herself found impossible to bear.
