Sang Shang had grown fond of this feeling. He half-closed his eyes in contentment, letting Ran Xin do as she pleased with him.
The Old Master Shen’s house stood at the very heart of this geomantically blessed land, and an evergreen tree had been planted at the entrance to the courtyard.
When Hou Yu saw the moonlight, he realized that he had come back to life. He remembered the three of them going together to the Second Elder’s apothecary, where they had been locked in an iron cage and used to test pills.
Wu Juxian’s expression also grew somewhat awkward. If there truly was not a single disciple worthy of Wanli’s notice, the Netherdust Sect would lose all face.
Shen Er had no intention of taking on any commission. He approached the commission board merely out of curiosity, wanting to see whether its tasks differed from those of the White Crane Sect.
The reason they chose to kill Fa first was that Fa had not moved even a step since coming down from the platform, sitting there as obediently as could be. Compared with Ya, who was crawling about on all fours, Fa was obviously much easier to focus their attacks on.
Even so, Qilin seized the opportunity and once again drew the remnants of the Qianshan Kingdom together with Han Long.
Out of consideration for his mother, Bai Jun no longer talked back. He obediently followed his father out of the house.
Xu Qu recalled everything he and Ran Xin had gone through along the way and realized that the two of them had spent their entire time either at the villa or in the military camp.
The most likely explanation for such a thing was that the Governor of Qiao Commandery was a coward who clung to life. When the Yellow Turban Army attacked, he had holed himself up inside Qiao Commandery City and refused to come out, leaving the Yellow Turbans free to slaughter the people.
Su Can currently had only a level-one E-rank skill, but it also granted him a twenty-percent increase to attack speed for roughly three seconds.
Perfected Man Qiao was exhilarated. Without asking any further questions, he swept Lu Qingshan and the others up in his magic power, mounted a rainbow of divine light, and shot through the sky.
“Get lost! I don’t have time for you!” Tang Su clutched the formula and diapers and dashed upstairs, leaving Shen Yu standing there in a daze.

Lin Yi could now be said to have reached the peak of his popularity. His fame might well rival that of a top-tier singer.
The steward was extremely meticulous. They encountered no guards along the way; at most, some had hidden inside the walls to avoid the firelight.
Without waiting for the enemy’s ultimate ability, Haro immediately used a wire to fly into the air when the Dark Orb came hurtling toward him.
“Third Brother, if the curse disappears, you won’t die young either. Are you really planning to retire and enjoy your old age this early?” Gu Ci asked with a light laugh.
Each province governed nine commanderies, each commandery governed nine prefectures, each prefecture contained nine counties, and beneath every county lay numerous villages.
The family had barely eaten anything since morning. Now that things had settled down a little, their hunger came rushing back.
Gu Ci’s heart felt warm, but this really had not been done by Jiang Junlin. Jiang Junlin was too busy to look at the news or gossip. Lu Zhiyuan was recuperating from his injuries, and after just finishing a meeting with the nine presidents of Black Eagle, he happened to glance at the news and saw Gu Chuyun’s scandalous trending headline.
Before the phone had even been unlocked, the continuous sound of beeping could already be heard. It was the sound of an online-bank transfer.
“Hmph, Qin Xiao, remember what this young master said. I’ll beat you until you’re crawling around looking for your teeth,” Yun Liushangqi declared arrogantly.
A trace of lingering fear flashed across Ying Lang’s face. Fortunately, he had summoned his master in time. Otherwise, if he had truly been requisitioned as spirit-jade material for a divine familiar, he would probably have already been turned into a complete imbecile.
“Heavenly Dao Uncle, stop! You’re no match for Teacher Wang! He’s someone who can even slay onmyoji!” Tokugawa Hidetaka immediately urged him to stand down.
“I certainly won’t let you make a fool of yourself,” Qingfeng said, urging Wuhuan to continue forward.
Shi Yunyang said, “Brother Liu, I ask that you dismiss those around us. This matter is of great importance.”
Liu Gu replied coldly, “Everyone, leave.”
The soldiers around them obeyed, retreating resentfully. Before long, only Shi Yunyang, Liu Gu, and Mu Shuang remained.

After they passed several trees, the view suddenly opened up, and the group indeed saw a settlement. At last, they could see a sky as pure as the sea, without a single drifting cloud. Not far before them stood an enormous city built among the treetops.
The thick carriage door could not stop that sword. Nor could the burly man’s raised arm. Even the human skull, reputed to be the hardest part of the body, failed to halt it.
He had dared to glare and shake his beard even in the presence of the King of Nanxia, yet now he was meek and obsequious before these people, with a hint of fear in his manner.
Nightmare gazed around in delight. Not only had the earlier feeling of labored breathing disappeared, but the air felt wonderfully fresh.
“Yes… You can finally return to where you belonged.”
He Weiliang spoke softly, a trace of bitterness in his heart. That position had always belonged beside a young man of equal distinction. The innocent awkwardness and youthful immaturity shared by him and her throughout those years had merely been a wayward interlude in her life.
The winged demon hurriedly lowered its head in terror, not daring to look again. Instead, it desperately recalled everything that had just happened, then recounted the entire process in as much detail as possible, omitting nothing.
When Zhong Shengting heard Ba Yinge say this, he truly began to worry. His divine sense immediately reached toward Haoting Xiaodu Tian. After examining it carefully, he concluded that the passage between the immortal and demonic realms was now under the immortals’ control, making it impossible for the demons to close it. Only then did he feel somewhat reassured.
Although Long Zhesheng had not directly said that he was unwilling, his final question—“What exactly do you intend?”—clearly expressed his displeasure.
The interior of Wing Demon Mountain was hollow, and the space within was immense. Broad caverns had been built everywhere, while countless roads crisscrossed the area in a tangled maze, making it resemble an underground labyrinth.
Yuan Fengqi spoke sincerely, without the slightest trace of negligence on his face. His reverence toward the old woman was plain for all to see.
Commissioner Zhang knew perfectly well that a memorial not yet submitted by his superior could not be read casually. If anyone discovered that he had secretly read it, his career would be finished for good.
