Oh, by the way, my cousin has died.

Liu Yi closed the box and turned to press a pill into each of their hands.
“Swallow it, no spitting it out!”
The group endured the bitter taste, gulping the pills down in one go. Liu Yi glanced at the clock in the space, waiting for the medicine to take effect, to see if it was truly genuine.
“Grandmother Liu, this batch is definitely good medicine. If there’s any problem, you can kill us.”
Those serving as guinea pigs were on the verge of tears, suffering through the passage of time—an ordeal that felt like a year with every hour.
After comparing everything carefully, Lü Bingbing’s eyes could no longer hide her shock.
The knife was still pressed to my throat, my hair already tangled like a bird’s nest. The moment Shen Yi saw me, his rigid posture collapsed like a fortress crumbling in an instant, the pain in his eyes evident and deeply felt. He was in uniform, his face battered by wind and dust, shining boots still stained with soil—a clear sign he'd come straight from the barracks.
Aunt Zhang poured water for me, the boiling water striking the porcelain cup, warming my hands as I held it. Seeing I hesitated to drink, Aunt Zhang said, “It’s freezing, madam, you must have suffered in the cold. Quickly, have a cup to ward off the chill!” After speaking, she poured another cup for Fang Heng.
The leader was Long Sanyuan. At that time, he was not yet the Master of the Heavenly Demon Hall, nor was he the Heavenly Dragon Emperor.
Hua Xinyue looked at everyone and said, “Withdraw. The deputy city lord has been defeated. Let this matter end here today.”
Hua Xuanji felt her whole body slowly heating up, her consciousness growing hazy. Yet the sight of Flower Crown’s smiling face only irritated her further. She shook her head sharply, and when her mind cleared, she realized she had been carried into a pitch-black secret chamber.
“Brother Jiang, would you like to meet my mother? I’m sure she would like you,” Li Ai asked, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Xuan Qi saw that kneeling was futile and finally agreed with Zhang Tian, returning to sit at the table.
The consequences caused by the appreciation of the renminbi are numerous, and the stock market, caught in this delicate situation, has a high chance of rising.
Next, Xu Yang personally dried the roots of five types of ten-thousand-year spirit flowers, crushed them into powder, mixed them with rejuvenating flower honey, and skillfully rolled them into pill bases.
“Heh, I know you’re beautiful, but I doubt your third brother listens to you merely because of your looks!” Pan Yuhong laughed.
Liya wandered around the Azure Stone Palace for a long time, not only failing to gather any useful information, but ending up thoroughly frustrated.
Qing Hong helplessly glanced at the slip of paper in his hand, which bore a strikingly large number six. He pursed his lips—what luck, to draw such a high number even at the last moment.
A streak of violet martial energy shot from Mu Jianhe’s sleeve, speeding toward the blood eagle, which was flying low in front of Sun Zheng with its talons clutching a man. The sudden attack stunned everyone present—except for Qing Hong, who had been watching Mu Jianhe’s every move.
The appearance of this mark truly shocked Ye Fantian, for it was a phantom, a shadow carrying the breath of life.
At that moment, questions surged in everyone’s hearts. Wasn’t it said that Zhang Xiao’s dantian was damaged, making cultivation impossible, and that he bore a grudge against the Mist Gate and defected? Yet, seeing his recent strike—crippling Zhang Li in one blow—not only was he far from useless, but even more formidable than before. How could this be?
What made Qing Hong most reluctant to let him go was the look he cast at her as he fell—a venomous glare, filled with hatred and murder. Though it flashed by in an instant, it did not escape her notice.
When they learned that Na Tie was to undergo the first trial, they immediately left, leaving only Kong Deshou to accompany Na Tie to the place of the test. Judging by their actions, it seemed they were off to make preparations.
