Li Su’s eyes once again flashed with a crazed yet composed crimson light as he threw back his head and roared.

At first, he had merely felt that “this fellow is extremely troublesome,” but by now that feeling had clearly and silently transformed into “a warrior fighting on the same side.”

Three stalks of heavenly treasures were enough to refine it. Did that not mean they could all easily buy several, or even dozens, of them?

As the saying went, one could roam the martial world yet never avoid being cut down. As an author, occasionally abandoning a story halfway through or ending it disastrously was practically the most normal thing in the world.

Ordinarily, whenever guests arrived, Phoenixcry Fortress would merely send out a steward to receive them and arrange a banquet. Though people could come and go freely, very few ever had the chance to meet the lord of the fortress.

His actions were clearly intended to guide the others. To accomplish this, he did not even seem the slightest bit worried that Ye Yiming and the others might become enraged and kill him.

Tsk, tsk. His Majesty had personally come to the marquis’s residence for a feast. How thick must the green smoke rising from the marquis’s ancestral graves be for him to enjoy such glory and honor? In the future, when he went out boasting to others, he could at least say that he had seen His Majesty with his own eyes. Even the servants’ faces would gain an extra measure of luster.

The spectators below immediately broke into a chorus of jeers. Even the friends, relatives, and cheerleaders supporting Shanyang High School felt that Huang Dongpei was being rather undignified.

Jiang Shuiyuan was speechless with exasperation. Uncle Ge, what grudge do you hold against me? Why do you take every opportunity to mock me?

Time passed without interruption. At dusk, the setting sun dyed the distant mountain foothills outside the window crimson. Soaked in sweat, she crossed that stretch of orange-tinted beauty. When she passed the team’s practice room, she was somewhat surprised to discover that Taeyeon was still inside.

However many thoughts had flashed through Ouyang Zhen’s mind in that instant, she remained outwardly calm as ever and left without turning her head.

Facing such a good person, she truly did not know what she could do in the future to repay him and express her gratitude.

But this time, he had been the one to place her hand against his own ear. No matter how uncomfortable he felt, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

The bloodline of a great demon was the finest tonic in the world. This was true for any creature that yearned for power, whether human or demon.

Moreover, the underground palace was unlike other places in the secret realm. In addition to the Vajra Demon-Subduing Formation, it also contained a Two-Realm Image Transmission Formation.

During the era of the Former and Later Han dynasties and the Three Kingdoms, the difficulty of spreading knowledge could perhaps be illustrated by a certain story.

As it turned out, word had arrived from Gulfstream two days earlier that Li Feng’s private aircraft had been completed and could be collected at any time.

Jiang Liuyu glanced at him. Bai Qichang lifted his teacup and smiled gently. Almost imperceptibly, he shook his head along with the motion of blowing on the tea, signaling that Jiang should not act rashly.

Jiang Liuyu pulled a long face, utterly unwilling, yet shifted his ponderous body. The three of them rallied their strength and continued climbing along the mountain path.

Beneath the Cemetery of Gods and Demons, Dugu Baitian did not rush to fuse with that mass of origin. Instead, he employed heaven-defying means to seal it, suppressing every trace of its aura so that it would no longer attract the covetous attention of Heaven and Earth.

After dinner, Lin Meixia returned home. Seeing that Mu Haotian was fine, she naturally stopped worrying. She therefore followed several bodyguards back to the Lin residence, allowing him to sleep soundly and peacefully.

“If he truly possesses profound inner strength protecting him, then his old ailment naturally would not flare up. Yet judging from his pulse, I cannot detect the slightest trace of cultivation. Strange, truly strange!” After saying this, the old man sank into deep thought.

The young master of the Evil-Eyed Clan stared fixedly at Xiao Yifeng, his eyes filled with seething fury.

Xiao Zhirou looked at the restaurant before her. Though it was not large, its decor was quite refined. She turned to Lin Shan with some puzzlement and spoke.

Because those who possessed a Pure Origin Body had physiques exceptionally compatible with the vital energy of Heaven and Earth. Their affinity with that energy was even stronger; in other words, they were the finest vessels for carrying it.

Yet Xiao Yifeng had actually dared to consume a quasi-saint medicine and cultivate in the middle of the competition.

The surging flames seemed capable of burning even true energy. They transformed into a vast blaze that swept toward the Formless Calamity Finger. Everyone then stared in astonishment as the Formless Calamity Finger unleashed by Xu Jie was engulfed by Lin Shan’s force of blood and qi, setting the technique itself ablaze.

“Did I ever say that she was your gift?” Mu Haotian asked coldly, his entire body radiating a fierce, chilling aura as usual.

After notifying Yansheng’s family, Wen Li began informing her own family and friends, which took her quite some time as well.

“Flowers bloom and leaves fall through one cycle of rebirth. Which past life was not destined?”

The voice from behind the screen still carried the same stirring power it had possessed when she first heard it.

She truly was a perceptive and transparent young woman. It was genuine that she felt indignant on his behalf, but drawing a clear line between them was her true intention.

Cheng Liping smiled helplessly and placed the newspaper on the subway’s newspaper rack. On the mainland, no one dared to criticize the authorities so openly and recklessly; clearly, there was still a long road ahead before true freedom of the press could be achieved. After leaving the subway and arriving at his company, he found that Zheng Tong and Tong Xiaodie had already arrived. The two of them were busy at their desks.

He finally understood why she had shown not the slightest surprise or astonishment after overhearing his conversation with Linyue.

However, Xiao Mingxin had no time to respond. His face was twisted with pain, his eyes vacant, and he could not stop coughing up blood. His knees slammed heavily onto the ground. Though both hands covered his mouth, they could not possibly block the streams of blood surging up from his throat.

“I guessed,” Huo Qishao said. He knew perfectly well that Qiao Xin was Su Yujing’s closest friend. Had it been someone else, she would not have spoken to Su Yujing with such courtesy.
