What I fear is not the carefully plotted flattery, but the unintentional tenderness that slips through unnoticed.
"Awwoo~ Is this the amusement park from the cartoon?"
Ice Lump and Water Cannon had both seen these things on the tablet, but having grown up in the mountains and forests, they had never voiced their yearning, no matter how much they longed for it.
Now, seeing Liu Yi return covered in wounds, yet still thinking of them in every moment, their animal hearts ached and swelled with emotion.
They understood much more than humans believed, not nearly as foolish as people assumed. Even though there were thousands upon thousands of humans, only she would, in the harshest of times, for the sake of—
Just as the words were being spoken, the door was suddenly flung open with great force. A stern-faced middle-aged man wearing glasses strode in. Upon seeing Jiang Heng, a flicker of agitation flashed in his eyes, quickly replaced by anger.
Kaixue recounted to the old woman, in painstaking detail, her journey to the Empire and all that had happened recently, not forgetting to mention the cooperation between Li Jing and Matsushima. She added embellishments, repeating the tale of how her father had been killed by the two in league.
Ji Xuan, if you’re wise, stay away from Shen Qingming. It’s not a question of whether you can win a fight, but rather, why you would fight at all.
The hovercar suddenly accelerated. Everyone inside, except for Yong He, was thrown to the side.
After all the twists and turns, to return here again—he understood deep down that this was a pointless hypothesis. It existed only to indulge his own obsession, utterly meaningless, and yet, he could not help but want to hear you speak of that splendid, flowering ending.
Though cunning schemes are useless before absolute power, in this world, the great powers have lain dormant for thousands of years, and countless forces have sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain.
"Heh, would a C-rank sniper from the Mendes family ever lack money?" Li Ji sneered coldly, knowing full well the C-rank sniper had fabricated the story. Among the three ranks of assassins and snipers, those of A-rank obey the Marquis Mendes, B-rank take orders from both the Marquis and the main family, and C-rank answer to the Marquis, the main family, and the collateral branches.
The surrounding area was rich in resources, and with no threat from the old shark, humans were certain to start a war—such was the way of things.
Chu Yichen had tormented the Empress Dowager to the point where she was neither human nor ghost. That Jun Yumo Ke wished to eradicate the Summit of Rebirth was only natural.
"However precious the medicine, nothing is more important than life."
Jiuge’s face was expressionless as she tucked the medicine bottle into her robe. One hand picked up her zither, the other slipped around Meng Wuyuan’s waist. As he gasped in alarm, she lightly tapped the tip of her foot and soared down from the eaves.
It turned out that the shot Houtu had just fired at Li Song was, in fact, a drop of ancestral shaman blood that Li Song had helped Houtu refine in the Hell of Reincarnation. In the past, Houtu had gifted Li Song five drops of this blood. Li Song had refined one himself. These two drops shared the same origin and essence, allowing Houtu to use one to awaken Li Song.
"Duobao, die!"
The Daoist Guide lunged at Duobao, unleashing the fifth form of Fury with reckless force. After the punch, the very air seemed to slice apart. Not only did the void of the Divine and Demonic Universe shatter, but even the neighboring universe suffered spatial collapse from the aftershock of that devastating blow.
"With the Hundred Gallant Dragon Cavalry in the vanguard, the coalition army of the Three Kingdoms, numbering eight hundred thousand, seized the moment to attack Western Shu's borders. Suddenly, black mist arose on the battlefield, and countless skeletal sorcerous undead soldiers crawled from the earth. Any wounded by them soon fell under the black mist’s assault, their minds turning, and would often betray their own allies in the chaos."
The 'fodder' sent by Sheng Youqian was a few photographs, which brought a flash of light to Ming Qin's eyes as she sat in the gloom.
Xu Moqing helped him up and positioned him to sit face-to-face at the same level. Mu Chen, fearful and timid, only wanted to shrink away and stand up instead.
After hearing this, Canon studied the fruit on the Invincible Fork with careful scrutiny, then said uncertainly, "I think it's... a Dragonflame Fruit?"
Invincible nodded, opened his mouth, and popped the fruit right in.
Hearing Afans’ words, You Yitian couldn’t help but feel both amused and exasperated. At a time like this, was he seriously thinking of learning magic from the Dark Dragon? A grand magus was a grand magus—if there was anything in their heart other than magic, it would not be magic.
