That woman must never be allowed to stay.

The sea shimmered under the sunlight, seagulls gliding low. The deep blue sky was so beautiful it made one reluctant to blink, as the sea breeze gently tousled strands of hair and billowed flowing robes.

Yet Liang Nanzhu was utterly unapologetic, chin slightly raised, lifting his robe as he turned and descended the stairs. The edges of his garment exuded an air of arrogance.

The entire Qianliyan was bustling with preparations for Xiao Peng’s birthday celebration, everyone except Xiao Peng himself, who spent his days lounging indoors, sipping tea in utter comfort.

In an instant, blood and flesh flew; the terrifying monster was swiftly beaten into an unrecognizable shape.

Not knowing how to speak could be due to lack of ability, or simply unwillingness—thus, the silence persisted.

As the saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Once two teammates suddenly fell, the other ghost-king level masters naturally feared suffering the same fate. This bolstered the confidence of the bald man while planting doubts in the others’ hearts, making the outcome of the ensuing battle largely predictable.

“By the way, Sister Liu, I came to see you because I have something important to discuss,” said Li Mingze.

Unable to speak, Wan Ying felt a cool, soothing sensation on her forehead. Slowly opening her eyes, she saw Su Tie holding a damp towel, replacing the one on her forehead.

Many were giving out porridge, but even more refugees were fleeing. Sweat evaporated, filling the countryside with a foul stench.

After trekking over half a mountain ridge, they finally arrived at Lord Liu’s residence—much like the brothel courtyard at the front gate, but with more flowers and lush trees. To Wan Ying’s surprise, there was even a small field on the far left side of the compound, a splash of red amid the greenery that lent a cozy warmth to the place.

“By the way, I was just about to say...” Cheng Daosen started to complain about Kou Xu again, only to notice Kou Xu’s brow furrow deeply, a grave expression that hadn’t appeared even in times of crisis.

She had never paid attention to anyone’s cultivation, so when she suddenly asked, Qi Yao was a bit surprised.

The sword moved with lightness, the strike with dominance. The single-edged blade was like both sword and knife, a blend of grace and force. Bu Qianhuai had long memorized the moves.

“But the area is so vast, where are we supposed to find them?” Mu Xue plopped down on the ground. It was scorching hot, and carrying so much gear while wearing camouflage was hardly comfortable.

Suddenly, the earth trembled slightly. The giant mountain’s shadow blurred by a third but still stood firm, blocking the final strike. Lu Wuwei’s expression darkened; it was no easy feat to withstand three blows from a nearly innate-level opponent.

Though absorbed in his own thoughts moments ago, Xue Qi still noticed Gu Luo’s movements.

“Ugh...” Gaia, lying on the stone bed, frowned slightly before opening his eyes.

Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to the calendar on the desk. It didn’t show today’s date; it was left by the previous chief, whom Qiu Yeming deeply respected. The calendar remained untouched, frozen in the moment the chief left.

When Boen’s father saw his son take a seat, he immediately got angry and went outside to call Sally’s place. They knew they had erred, and once the call connected, an apology was mandatory.

Angelie sat at the front desk, smiling, but no one could tell the storm raging within her heart.

At last, halfway through the journey, the group paused to rest. They fed the horses some beans and water to regain strength, while the people took the chance to stretch and eat some dry rations. Everyone was fine except Zhong Hao, who was utterly exhausted.

“This is the worst news in an entire month since the Busan incident. Director Jin, you must handle the aftermath properly,” Qiu Yashan abruptly ended the call.

“Are you sure you brought enough money?” Sylvanas held Benny’s arm at night but kept some distance.

“When returning to the capital from Suhang, the feeling should be completely different from when you left, right?” Gongsun Qi muttered abruptly and without context.

Li Yan was momentarily stunned, looking at the lean figure in sportswear—Brother Hao. He suddenly realized it was hard to discern their past from their everyday talk and mannerisms. Before coming, Yun Ling had said: coal bosses are a troublesome identity that many frown upon, and they rarely talk about their pasts.

Yue Fei had long left everyone behind, rushing outside, followed closely by Zhang Xian and others.

“Is that so?” Snape, as on countless previous occasions, was once again appeased by Dumbledore, a hint of joy flickering in his eyes.

“Prepare the artillery!” In the center army, the great banner signaled. Behind, wagons pulled by three warhorses each slowly arrived. On the wagons were cannons, which eight strong men carried off and set up in formation.

Di Qing grew weary of Li Dean’s pleas and excuses. Li Dean dared to defy the Western Army’s orders and refused to leave Song territory, courting death.

After all, they were all game fans, enchanted by the power stones. Moreover, they genuinely wanted to see this eccentric genius who created the game.

Besides, in someone else’s home, one is always restrained; why seek discomfort? Also, a brother like theirs would never tolerate someone being oppressed.

Tang Anqing probably guessed the situation, but he was pleased when Baozi said he could transform. He briefed Tang Baiyu on the situation and took Baozi into the space.

Feng Yuheng couldn’t sit still in the carriage and got down, telling the driver to bring the carriage to an empty spot nearby to wait. She, along with Huang Quan, approached the city gate anxiously, peering outside.

After finishing the dumplings, it was already past three, yet everyone remained exhilarated. Outside, firecrackers boomed continuously, undeterred by the late hour.

With a sudden burst of laughter, no one knew who laughed first, and soon everyone was laughing in unison.

The master strategist held a formation plate in his left hand, comparing it with landmarks on the ground. After some mystical gestures, he boldly stepped into the maze first.

“Please, Grandfather, come to the hall for some hot tea!” Following Feng Yuheng’s reception and orders, the Feng family rose as well. The elderly lady took the initiative to invite Zhang Yuan, exchanging meaningful glances with Feng Jinyuan.

“You go ahead; I’ll find Mingzhu!” Lu Changfeng left without looking back, leaving a sullen Xiao Ying behind.

“Human, I won’t trouble you nor devour you out of appetite. If you really manage to tame me, rest assured my boyfriend will benefit from you.”
