The Two Dykes were not very far from Lin’an, but because Half-Moon Hall had been harassing the surrounding prefectural cities, the journey was far from smooth for the three of them.
Just as Xiang Yu’s expression darkened, the Lion King led a group of lion warriors to the stone bridge. They stared anxiously at the Phoenix, who was about to leave.
Had the wind risen? The air was clearly as still as solid matter, so how could it possibly stir up a breeze? Zeng Tairan did not stop to consider it. All his attention had been drawn to the sedan whose front curtain was being lifted by the wind.
Sheriff Gordon thought for a moment and raised his head to speak, only to find that Batman had already vanished.
Xue Rusheng was so furious that he was speechless. He ran the tip of his tongue around his teeth, then bent down and forcefully helped He Linlin change her shoes. In the end, he simply hoisted her over his shoulder and carried her to the sofa.
Sun Yiyue did not understand the first word, but the phrase “a deadly poison that kills upon being smelled” instantly made her jump to her feet.
Zhao Fuling secretly praised Li Jingmo’s emotional intelligence, but she paid no heed to his words about taking responsibility.
Still, she did not want the two of them to go on entangling themselves endlessly. After all, if something happened, no one would know what to say.
The military officers who had caused trouble had all been demoted three ranks, which gave him some consolation. At least he was not the only one suffering.
No one knew whether the person beside you was an owl. You could not even be certain yourself that you truly were not an owl.
Yet, strangely enough, the only person who treated her this way—the only one who disliked her—gave Ling Ping’er a peculiar feeling.
With a grand sweep of his hand, Lin Mu stored the twelve Foundation Establishment Pills in the jade bottles he had prepared long ago.

“I do know these two places, but I’m not certain of their exact locations now.” The Flame-Scorching Demon Ape nodded, then shook his head.
“Guild Master, the Primordial Unity Sect and the Divine Land Commerce Guild have both sent jade slips asking about the situation in our Artisan City and whether we need assistance,” someone reported from behind the guild master.
“Hahaha! What’s happened to you all? Look at you—every one of you is drenched like a drowned rat!” Several men stationed with the Yan Family boat gang burst into loud laughter.
Zhu Yourong buried her face in her palms and murmured to herself. After a while, she raised her head, tears already streaking her cheeks.
“Let’s go.” Chu Yue walked ahead, while Ying Ningning hesitated for a moment before following her.
This final bend had always been known as the Gates of Hell, and its dangers were several times greater than those of the river section before it. Not only were there hidden reefs, but countless invisible whirlpools as well. The moment their boats entered this stretch of water, they began drifting and spinning across the surface.
“Ah!” Gu Xuan answered excitedly, then scampered off with the bottle to distribute the youth-preserving pills to everyone.
Watching Wen Ya’s laughter make her full breasts rise and fall like waves, Lin Mu secretly swallowed and forcibly suppressed the lust surging within him.
Yet a smile of triumph also appeared on Xiao Luo’s face, and hers was even more unrestrained.
After returning to the banquet, Su Momo stayed by Shi Zichen’s side, smiling as she accompanied him in entertaining the guests. Her gentle grace and generosity won her considerable praise. Though some people were plainly flattering her in order to curry favor with Shi Zichen, she merely smiled and paid them no mind.
Su Momo briefly introduced Shi Hao to what she knew about the school. When she checked the time, she saw that classes should be ending soon. She ought to leave as well; if she stayed too late, Shi Zichen would probably start overthinking things again.
How could Ji Yuchen not know that these human cultivators were investigating his identity and whereabouts at the urging of people from the Chaos Realm? He had simply never cared.

“Who can guarantee that nothing will happen to her? That prince is terrifying. What if he threatened Sister and forced her to stay with him?” The terrifying expression of Baili Cangming from five years ago flashed through Qin Hao’s mind. That dreadful gaze had truly become an inescapable shadow in the depths of his heart.
The Blood Demon’s lair contained countless demons and numerous blood-witch formations. Yet the Celestial Dance Mage and his Four Vajra Guardians joined forces and slaughtered every last one of them.
Hearing the knock at the door, Liang Huahua—who, like Su Momo, had not gone to class and was keeping her company in the dormitory—went to open it.
Inside the Midnight Café, things were different from usual. At this hour, it would normally be crowded with couples enjoying their meals, but today a sign reading “Closed” hung on the door, stopping many couples from entering.
General Chu and the others had not yet moved when they heard Miao Zeshan’s mocking, sarcastic voice drifting over from afar.
A pair of red boots came to a stop before her. With her head covered by a bridal veil, Ouyang Ruo could see nothing but those boots. Then, all at once, darkness descended, and every candle flame was extinguished.
Whenever new recruits enlisted, he would tear open his clothes and proudly display his scars to them.
A man witnessed this scene—the man in white armor, who was none other than Luo Hanxue’s former lover, Bai Yunfei.
Ever since Divine Envoy Si and the others had entered, Su Yingxue’s expression had been extremely unpleasant, but she endured it without saying a word.
Mutton without a gamey odor was the purest expression of the meat’s fragrance. The mutton sent by the activity center came from a hind leg with both meat and tendon. Its texture was rich and succulent. Even after being stewed until tender and falling apart, it still retained some chewiness, while the tendon and connective tissue gave it an even more distinctive flavor.
