"Xiaxia, where am I?" Xiaxia turned her head and found that Zuolun had already sat up.

Beauty Tian stared at the man before her in utter shock: "M... My Lord?!" She hurriedly looked at Li Mo, who was still kneeling on the ground, her hands beginning to tremble.

Looking at Faust, who was enclosed within a heavy, red, circular shield, Dugu Shangjun smiled and spoke.

That night, several large cruise ships suddenly appeared on the sea. The ships' sirens had been specially modified; the sounds that would normally have roared like thunder were reduced to a friction noise as ineffective as scratching an itch through a boot.

In a secluded room, Sima Xuan and Lin Peng were focused on treating the wounds of Kokuto Hiroto, who lay on the bed. The trash can beside them was overflowing with piles of blood-soaked cloths and paper.

Hard work pays off; Xiaxia found the necklace on the tip of a tree branch on the hillside. Zuolun held the necklace in his hands with anxiety. It was crafted from sapphires and topazes, shaped like a pistol and a bullet.

Yi Xie... Medical Evil... I finally understand my father's words now, but I am destined to disappoint him.

Lan Nuolaisi tried to explain, but Nuodila did not give him the chance, charging forward and forcing Lan Nuolaisi into a fight.

"Very well, Patriarch, I shall return now," Dean said with a smile. Seeing Zhan Silake nod in agreement, Dean smiled, turned, and walked toward the door.

After two days of dedicated research and study, he finally succeeded on the evening of the last day in refining a Heart-Moistening Pill marked with faint pill patterns.

Mumu was never a person of good temper or refined manners. Having been worn down all day, she no longer had the leisure to toy with her enemies. Her face darkened, becoming even colder.

But before it could break free from the reach of the Heaven-Seizing Hand, the electrical current on the black beam of light was already coursing up and down its blade. For a time, the entire mountain peak resonated with an incessant buzzing sound.

He immediately decided to form a formation using three tripods, with the Li Fire Tripod presiding over it to indirectly reduce the burden on himself. He set the formation outside the mountain so that if there were any danger, he could retreat safely and immediately use the formation to fend off enemies.

However, he had not expected Wu Haotian's offensive to be so relentless, wave after wave, perfectly connected, leaving Lu Qingyu absolutely no chance to dodge.

"Leave it to me." Li squeezed in. His Zhongshan suit was folded, the buttons undone, the lapels half-open, looking incredibly languid.

Chu Tianxiong had wanted him to leave together, but he refused. After all, he was only an accomplice; even if caught, it would not be a capital offense, and there was no need to throw his life away on the run. Chu Tianxiong gave him the three million as promised, and he did not leave Hainan but went into hiding in Sanya, telling no one of his whereabouts.

"A big spender? Uh... no problem. Don't mention ten—even a hundred or a thousand, I have plenty here! Since everyone is full, come, take Helian and Niu Chong down to rest!" Zhang Fang was momentarily stunned by Niu Chong's title, then laughed heartily and signaled for Steward Ma to lead them to their quarters.

The palm in the void suddenly turned and pressed down toward Miura Daisho, coming with a fierce, surging momentum.

"Uh, it seems contestant Leping is in no danger of losing his life. Then, Yahiko advances first, successfully entering the semi-finals," the host looked at Leping and shouted into the microphone.

"Thank you," Qu Yang said gratefully. He understood that his performance with Liu Zhengfeng would be greatly diminished, and facing his benefactor, he did not want to show a flawed piece, but one's state of mind is not always under one's control.

In the main hall of the Divine Jade Palace, Yuchen sat in the main seat. Xiao Yan stood tall in the hall, a faint smile on his face. This smile had been absent from Xiao Yan's face for who knows how many days. Seeing it, Yuchen could not help but nod.

Although the incident happened two years ago, when Chen Ping's strength could not compare to what it is now, it still sounded terrifying.

As Ling Yu turned his head inadvertently, he saw at the very back of the group, a fair-skinned youth still sitting blankly on the spot, at a loss. Lang De was tugging at his arm to hoist him onto his back, while the other students had disappeared like birds and beasts.

The scent of her intoxication lingered beneath his nose. As if playing a prank, he bit her lip gently, then suddenly exerted force, and blood began to flow.

"I'm not afraid!" he muttered to himself for courage, bending down and grabbing wildly at the ground, hoping to find a stone or something to defend himself. He suddenly grabbed a smooth club; although not long, it had some weight.

Lu Shuang, Uncle Fu, and Tang Yi were instantly alarmed. Through layers of white mist, they saw dozens of white bones suddenly launching an attack upon them, and they were naturally terrified.

"Concubine Yuan, what did you say? The Empress actually forced you to drink a contraceptive decoction?!" Lu Nuoxin asked deliberately, wanting everyone to hear Concubine Yuan's words.

"It's nothing, just a cold and fever, I'm on an IV drip. I'll be back once I'm better, don't worry about me, I'm fine." After saying this, Zhu Xiaoya gritted her teeth and hung up the phone. If she kept talking to her father, there was no telling what she might accidentally reveal.

At this moment, she did not cry; not a single tear fell. That streak of blood-red color surged back and forth within her body, congealing into a mass, eroding the extravagant colors of the past bit by bit, leaving behind wounds dripping with fresh blood wherever it passed.

Still, fearless black shadows pressed in, but Chu Tao merely brandished his empty sword, frightening them into stillness. Seizing the moment, he grabbed the reins and leaped onto his horse's back. Yufeng, sensing his intent, galloped away. Behind them, sharp, hawk-like gazes never ceased their pursuit.
