Chapter 38: Heading to the Princess's Estate to Neutralize the Poison

After about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, a pale yet genuine smile appeared on his face, and he withdrew his fingers into his sleeves.

Grandma Water-Lotus then remembered that she still had leverage in someone else's hands. After all, it was she who had ordered her son and daughter-in-law to seize her, only for ropes and sacks to be found on them.

Yi Qi Jue Chen had already laid an ambush early on with a thousand cavalrymen of the Divine Legion. If a thousand Earth-Dragon cavalry were to spread their formation and charge across the plains, it would be a nightmare for any infantry unit at this stage.

However, even if she no longer needed a protective umbrella, she could not allow anyone to destroy the one that had once shielded her from the wind and rain. Those who dared to destroy it would have to pay a price too heavy to bear.

What a loser... Watching Heinze, who was helpless against his breakthrough and could only eat dust behind him, Glen Johnson couldn't help but cast a disdainful glance at the Argentine he had left behind, before turning his head to locate his teammates ahead.

Possessing three pitchers capable of anchoring a game, each with their own unique style—that was the most indestructible aspect of the champion Seido High School.

Everyone used their Town Portal scrolls to return to Snow Sword Island, the territory of their own guild; even those with red names had nothing to fear upon returning.

A mournful and malicious cry, cold and devoid of warmth, like a black hole that could never be filled.

Just as Lin Yang hesitated, he suddenly looked back into the distance. Within the range of his spiritual perception, a fierce killing intent was rapidly approaching. Hardening his resolve, his eyes glinting with lethal intent, he paused for a moment before leaping violently into the abyss.

Half a morning and half an afternoon were enough for Murong Zhao to tidy up the room inside and out to perfection.

Half an hour later, after finishing his words, Grandpa looked at us, observing our expressions, and continued: "Alright, that is all I have to say. Do you all understand?" He finished by looking at us, his face filled with inquiry.

Judging from the map, he had already arrived before the line of the Picheng bandits. Yang Bufan intended to choose a good spot to lure one out to practice. In order to gauge his own strength, he specifically checked his attributes.

It stood to reason that there had never been a case where a "destined one" died before fulfilling their fate. Thus, everyone began the search for the destined one again.

For a servant god, the faith of believers is the source that keeps their divine radiance from fading. If a servant god loses all their believers, they can no longer grow in power, nor can they maintain the luster of their divinity, eventually losing it entirely and falling to the status of a mortal.

"Roar!" The ice lizard let out a roar that shook the heavens, causing even space itself to tremble. A massive fissure spread like a spiderweb, and the nine chains pulled by its arms made the very mountain shake.

Once the enemy's defenses were broken and their formation scattered, the task of slaughtering the remaining forces was left to the infantry.

"What just happened? Why did the system slow down our movements?" Tian Zhi Jiao realized, asking in confusion.

The people in the audience finally realized that the young man hadn't been boasting and truly possessed genuine skill. Everyone began to inquire about Li Ming's background; they had never heard of such a person before—he seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

"Oh, Aunt, you're just being old-fashioned. What kind of society is this now? Why worry about so much?" Yang Bufan replied.

Under no circumstances could word get out that the Emperor favored Song Yijin, or else the whole world would mock them.

It would have been fine if it were anyone else, but it happened to be Yang Yi, whom Yin Yu'er loathed above all else. This was precisely why her anger and resentment had led her to go into qi deviation.

Due to the league lockout last season, the All-Star game was canceled, and the 1998 draft class became the one that never got to participate in the Rookie Challenge. Many felt it was an injustice to them.

Thunder rumbled amidst the low-hanging clouds, causing the earth to tremble. Across the pitch-black night sky, streaks of blue lightning zigzagged and writhed like grotesque serpents.

Marude Saito picked up the phone beside him, spoke a few words, and minutes later, a professional-looking woman with a commanding aura pushed open the door.

"O'Brien," Colin looked at O'Brien, who was staring with a solemn expression at the "Five-Finger Mountain" in his hand.

These two were shrewd individuals; how could they fail to see through Liu Yizhan's intentions?

After speaking, he bowed deeply toward the direction where Su Mu was. This gesture not only displayed the magnanimity of the Kingdom of Lugnica as a great power but also demonstrated to everyone present that the Sage Council was not an organization lacking in tolerance.

Their own madmen swarmed forward, rushing into the tail cabin of the spaceship—a classic case of having organization but no discipline.

Before he could process his astonishment, Xu Ruibo spoke again. His words not only shocked him further but also filled him with fear.

Upon returning to the city, Tong Ying got out and let Gu Xi take the wheel. I leaned against the back seat, burying my head in silence. When the car stopped again, I couldn't help but look up, seeing that twilight had deepened outside the window. The car had stopped in a secluded spot, appearing to be an alley in an old street; it was clear the car could go no further.

I pushed him away uncomfortably. He turned over, lay to the side, and let out a long, comfortable sigh.

He had lived for millions of years, one could say he was as eternal as heaven and earth. How could he not sense when his soulmate was in danger?
