64 Traveling Through Childhood

"Ah, indeed. Right now, this war is only happening because Chou Luan bribed Yan Song's son, Yan Shifan, to get out of prison and become the Grand Defender of Xuanfu and Datong to resist the enemy," Yu Shilong said with a worried expression.

Lu Nuoxin saw a flash of sorrow in his clear eyes, accompanied by a profound sense of helplessness and desolation. A flicker of reluctance pierced her heart, yet no matter how painful it was to hurt him, she and Nan Ruochen had to put an end to this farcical pursuit once and for all.

Ye Chenxuan smiled and said that they had already taken some photos before everyone else arrived, but deliberately hid them from reporters to maintain a certain sense of mystery, promising that it would surely give everyone a refreshing surprise later.

Wang Ouyi caught a flight back to Taiwan that very day, while Fatty transferred to First High. Naturally, relying on his own abilities and his good relationship with Zhao Gan, he would undoubtedly continue to thrive in the future.

Although he had just ascended the throne, an aura of dominance already radiated from his brow. Finding it difficult to press the matter further, she allowed him to hold her until they ran into Empress Dowager Yi'an at the doorway, at which point he reluctantly set her down.

Emerging from the estate, the glaring sunlight beat down as a sharp, piercing pain gripped her heart. She finally understood the meaning of the world remaining the same while people change, yet if love brought such cruel sorrow, why on earth did people still choose to love?

Before even reaching Qingchan Temple, the sound of bells echoed through the air. Peaceful and serene, notes drifted one after another, until the entire valley resonated with the mind-clearing chime of the bells.

There was once a person dressed in blazing red who blocked her path, extending a hand and demanding she take it. At the time, she had laughed with disdain and rudely pushed the person aside, only to be rewarded with a heavy slap from her royal father.

Under such close quarters, Dai Zhen had no chance to evade the attack whatsoever, and in the blink of an eye, he was plunged deep into an illusion.

Despite being provoked, Lang Qi remained silent. Of course, speaking of which, the external speaker of his mecha was already broken and completely unusable anyway.

"He is in the Demon Realm, but he has fallen into a deep slumber. Immortal Venerable, take his inner core back to save him," Yaorao said.

Running at the very rear of the party, Fanluo Tianxia and Yafei had already been entangled by several bosses.

Suddenly, Tessa let out a mournful cry, but that terrifying force gently parted ways just before it could touch her.

If he refused to dispatch his own people and instead allowed other races to take the stage, that would prove extremely detrimental to Ji Ming.

A pale blue mushroom cloud instantly rose into the sky, sending countless fragments of brick and stone scattering in all directions. Immediately after, a surge of black light rippled outward, and as the dark energy swept wildly across the area, the dust kicked up by the thunderclouds instantly settled into stillness.

"However, if you know what's good for you—" Before Qin Yan could finish his sentence, a blinding, snow-white radiance suddenly flashed at the edge of his vision. It was Hao Chengang executing the Mystical Profound Scripture, instantly bearing down upon him.

The entire Valley of the Divine Dragon was bathed in bright sunlight, bordered to the south by a vast, boundless grassland. To the east and north, it was embraced by rolling mountain ranges.

This was truly like being handed a pillow just as one felt sleepy! Facing the heavenly tribulation now, Yuan Ying felt even more confident than ever! Shaking off his surging excitement, Yuan Ying swept his divine sense toward the clone positioned within the formation.

Karthus harbored grand designs, hoping to play the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! If she ever found out that Morgana had gone to Earth simply to go on blind dates, one could only wonder what her reaction would be!

Right after that, just as Henry was about to leave, a pair of symmetrical heart shapes suddenly appeared deep within his pupils—one in each eye.

Strictly speaking, ever since Lu Yu employed the second silver needle, she had effectively become his bodyguard, at least for this particular occasion.

Lu Tian's gaze narrowed. The door looked sleek and smooth, much like any other alloy door, yet he could distinctly perceive several layers of invisible energy.

Wang Yidong tenderly slid the top-grade imperial green jade bracelet onto Yu Fangqiu's wrist. Her fair, translucent skin contrasted brilliantly with the dripping-green jade, creating a breathtaking, heart-stirring beauty.

They arrived at an exceptionally vast plaza. At its center stood a bizarre architectural structure resembling a massive crown, with a crucifix erected right in the middle.

Jinbe and Luffy were conversing when they saw her enter, which instantly set their minds somewhat at ease. They did not ask where Pudding had gone, knowing full well she must be acting on Anker's orders.

Yang Baizhang glanced at the sky outside the cave; it was already getting late. With two hundred miles still remaining between them and the Eastern Capital, reaching their destination before nightfall was utterly impossible.

"To tell you the truth, I actually arrived in Nandu a year ago. Hearing at the time that you had won the China Rookie King title, I felt deeply relieved and thought to myself, *As expected of my son,* " Ning Xiao laughed heartily.

"You just go ahead and sleep; I'll get up and buy the groceries." The verdant leafy greens were pushed aside, and several snow-white cloves of garlic took their place.

"Damn it!" Kurogane Ikki had only just rejoiced for a moment before Minazuki Kanata once again battered him into a state of utter helplessness. Victory and defeat had already reversed several times between the two, but this time Kurogane Ikki knew he had no further trump cards left to turn the tables.

Yu Wannian pointed toward the fully sealed glass humanoid statue that had been delivered that afternoon. Gu Xiuzhu froze, his expression turning gloomy as he abruptly lowered his head.

"Hahahaha, your ancestors must have left you some relevant information, right? Those who are demonized naturally obey our commands. Did you really think sticking a chip in their heads could solve this problem?"

Old Madam Qin, Qin Zhiyuan, Ruan Lingshan, Qin Ningjing, and Qin Yige were chatting in a lively atmosphere. Perhaps engrossed too deeply in their conversation, they failed to notice Qin Wangshu's return.

He stood once more in roughly the same spot as before, his eyes gazing out at the endless stream of traffic flowing past.

You nodded in satisfaction, thinking to oneself that this was more like it—after all, since it wasn't one's own dog, there was no need to spend money on it anyway.

Under Shen Boran's strikes, the white snake posed virtually no fatal threat, yet executing those moves had nearly exhausted Shen Boran's physical stamina, leaving a few beads of crystal-clear sweat trickling down his face.

In the southern district of Basa, a young man watching the spectacle blurted out a breathtakingly high price.

"Alright, alright. As long as you are willing to work hard and keep your wits about you, there is still a sliver of survival. Now, close your eyes," Feng Mian offered a word of comfort before giving the order.

Though somewhat unfamiliar with Akiyue Yoshine, Tano retained vivid memories of her, as this was something he had to do every single day upon waking. While it didn't take much time, the internal energy gained allowed Tano to recover and greatly enhance his strength.

Some people believed that the Dao of questioning one's heart meant that a cultivation practitioner should act in accordance with the deepest desires of their own soul. In all matters, one should judge by personal values and respond accordingly; offering help out of human affection was a matter of choice, not an absolute obligation.
