Chapter 24: Containing Warmth

A massive spray of blood erupted, accompanied by feathers stained crimson that drifted slowly downward. Yang Lan offered Zhang Fei a faint smile before gently closing her eyes. Her arms went limp, and she began her descent.

Facing his composure and indifference, even I was taken aback. It seems that over these years, I have truly lived up to the tempering life has put me through.

I rested my chin on my hand, watching Mia in silence. Her eyes were vacant as she stared at the painting, her fingers tracing aimless patterns on the table. Her state of mind right now... it is so complex that only a rational explanation could possibly make sense of it.

I opened the window, only to discover it faced a bustling main road, alive with the constant flow of people and traffic. Yin Xiran, if you truly want to become famous, then jumping from here would be the right way to do it!

What Zhang Fei did not know was that Xia Lan was simply waiting—waiting for her spiritual energy to recover. And now, it was sufficient to unleash that skill.

Ming Yi released his grip in cooperation and watched me walk out of the classroom. He then furrowed his brows as he looked at Qi Qi, who was being lectured by Shu Ni, and walked straight toward Jin Yexuan.

Lin Qingxuan did not answer. He took a deep breath, his figure flickered, and he ascended the lotus platform, sitting cross-legged in the center.

Wang Fan’s heart was also pounding. After all, he had betrayed the Protectorate Army, and given their immense power, his safety could hardly be guaranteed. If Wei Lian'er were to demand her release, or if he felt he were being deceived, Wang Fan might change his mind; he still felt a lingering attachment to his brothers in the army.

Speaking of the tragic deaths of her aunt and father, Lan Caiyi could not help but burst into tears. Lin Qingxuan could only pull her into his embrace, offering gentle words of comfort until she slowly calmed down.

Jia Qing writhed her body, igniting Li Tao’s temper. With a sharp rip, he tore apart her expensive pajamas.

Uchiha Fugaku could not break away, but the other Uchiha ninjas, their eyes bloodshot with killing intent, led a group of Konoha genin in relentless pursuit of the retreating Cloud ninjas.

Because Lu Xiangnuan had promised to come by for acupuncture at a set time every day, and with dusk fast approaching, there was still no sign of her.

Seeing the Imperial Son-in-law collapse, he could not help but reach out to grab him, yet he caught nothing but air.

"You all should withdraw first. Do not enter the mine for the time being. Go back and rest for a few days; leave this place to me!" Wang Xiu commanded.

He was not insane; he would never do something as foolish as wanting the whole world to know of his "heroic" deeds.

The saying goes that when a lord is humiliated, the subject must die. They claimed this was to spare the State of Korea from the Qin, but why not suffer this humiliation themselves instead of turning the King of Korea into a laughingstock?

Without a powerful organization as a backer to provide a steady supply of resources, the average cultivator would find it difficult even to enter the gate.

This was hardly surprising; the Dragon-Tiger Pill was something used most frequently by young masters like them.

Nohara Rin knew her own situation. She truly could not keep up with Li Cheye’s training intensity, and his methods were ill-suited for her. She would not blindly follow the trend.

After the chicken rolls were steamed, the broth had largely cooled. Zhu Xiang poured rice wine into the liquid, then cooled the chicken rolls in cold water before slicing them and adding them in.

"So you must teach Huai Hong tonight; by tomorrow, Huai Hong must reach the royal city!" After saying this, he smiled faintly, "I believe you will surely succeed, right?" He turned and walked away with elegant ease, leaving Ji Huailing with a mesmerizing view of his back.

A voice that sounded somewhat youthful reached them. However, when Qing Wu heard it, she looked toward its source with a touch of shock, her gaze growing heavy.

By relying solely on the formidable defenses of his physical body, he had ignored the impending collapse of a profound-level composite formation—a collapse that would have forced even a Nascent Soul cultivator to retreat three paces.

Her expression was one of disappointment, yet her competitive spirit grew even more intense; she refused to believe she would lose to Ding Jiayi.

It was the Ancient Gu that had sensed danger that day and forcibly awakened from its slumber, dragging Gong Yang back from the deathly aura of the divination, now occupying the largest space within the ancient stele.

"Yes." Qinghuan bit her lip, hurried to the inner palace to put on her shoes, and then returned to her Qinghe Palace.

He was still just a high school student, pure and handsome; he would certainly never look for a penniless loser like him in the future.

Qinghuan looked at him without saying anything else. She admired that Su Lü could remain calm even under such circumstances.

Watching the Imperial Guards rolling in pain all over the courtyard, Princess Huang Qi truly did not know what to say.

The captain of Ling Yu's squad was named Lu Yuan, an inner-courtyard disciple and a late-stage Yuan-entry cultivator.

As it happened, the typing work for the final chapters of the current project was complete. Zhao Mu simply uploaded everything, setting a schedule of fifty chapters for the first day, one hundred for the second, and one hundred for the final third day, bringing it directly to the conclusion.

Blood suddenly overflowed from the corners of the two monks' mouths; it was clear they had lost the upper hand in the clash of Immortal Essence.

The affairs of the Heaven and Earth Society had always been handled by Zhou Shun and his group; few knew that Lin Rui was the boss behind the scenes.

At that moment, the door creaked open from the outside, and a somewhat familiar figure burst in.

"Strategy? There are patrol teams everywhere we go; what kind of strategy do you think we should use?" asked the sniper, Wang Ning, with a shrug.

Lu Can immediately abandoned the idea of seeking further guidance from Elder Yang. Today’s revelation was already an extraordinary exception.

However, it was precisely because everyone knew how impossibly difficult everything was behind the scenes that they were even more awestruck by Zhao Mu's incredible marksmanship.

The Japanese understanding of "benevolence" is defined as "my heart being kind is what we call benevolence." The starting point is "I." This perspective is closer to the Western view of benevolence and righteousness, which is centered on the self: one who is kind-hearted is benevolent, and one who is not is evil.

They knew that the power of public virtue was currently only related to slaying vengeful spirits. As soon as Bai Yinling heard this, she suddenly realized something and flew out of the underwater secret chamber.

Qian Xuan was particularly surprised to meet Han Boyang's gaze. She thought she had misheard—how could a chairman tell her to raise her hand and strike someone?

Auxiliary Legion Mode: Can establish a one-star legion, consisting of one legion commander, three overseers, and twenty squad leaders.

She had been careful enough, yet she still caused quite a few bloody gashes. Yi Dongli would emit muffled groans from time to time while unconscious, and Luo Yue’s face was already covered in a thin sheen of sweat.
