Why fill the house with flowers?

I heaved a long sigh, sat cross-legged on the bed, and following the incantations taught by Xiyi, slowly exhaled the golden core of Yitong from within my belly.

Yet, for whatever reason, the Mortal Heart remained unmoved. This turn, the Lion Knight was steadily taken down, and the Summoner’s ability was used to restore a bit of mana, bringing the turn to an unhurried close.

I dared not move rashly, sitting in the chair with one foot resting on the other, head bowed, intently fiddling with my fingers.

"Has she lost her mind?" Seeing Shadowmoon actually tying the curtains to herself, many expressed confusion. Was she not just asking for trouble?

Although the Meridian Protection Pill and the Meridian Consolidation Pill possess the ability to safeguard one’s meridians, this protection is only relative to ordinary circumstances. Once a certain threshold is exceeded, it still causes immense damage. Therefore, most martial artists neither can nor dare to absorb too much Sacred Essence into their bodies.

It was noble and extravagant; even the cheapest watch cost a million, far beyond the reach of ordinary wealthy people.

In this way, if Khorne wished to upgrade this turn, he could only rely on that Bloodletter within the Empire's borders. Although it possessed three attack points, and the Slaanesh forces it faced all had doubled health, this battle would not be easy to win.

"Xin'er, so impatient—have you stirred up some trouble again?" Yitong opened the door unhurriedly, leaning against the frame as usual, his face possessing an enchanting, demonic allure.

In the area where this Evil God exists, as long as Nurgle has placed at least one Corruption Marker in this region, he may immediately rotate his Evil God Wheel by one space and receive the reward indicated thereon, though this card's effect can only be triggered once per phase.

Outside the room, Murdoch saw Lin Feng and took the initiative to approach, saying, "I know my behavior has made you quite unwelcome."

"Perhaps a martial technique that integrates with the realm of artistic conception is not as formidable as a technique fully unleashed; otherwise, there would be no possibility of breaking through the suppression of the artistic conception realm. Therefore, we must identify the dark sword techniques hidden within the suppression of the artistic conception and shatter them," Xi Mozhi said.

He stepped out with a roar of unmatched arrogance. Seeing that Li Fuyao wore no sword, he slammed his long halberd into the ground, leapt up, and smashed a fist toward Li Fuyao’s face.

Looking at Xuan Chenxing, who had suddenly leaned in with a nervous expression, she stiffened and lowered her head. What... what did she see?

Suddenly, Gu Yimi’s hand, which had been gently patting Qianqian’s back, hung suspended in the air, trembling slightly.

Slap! A resounding blow landed on Huzi’s face, adding bloodstains to his already chapped lips.

"So what if I took action? I’m no God of War; how could I be so powerful every time?" Murong Che said. The moonlight could not reach him, leaving his face in deep shadow.

"Is that so? Then is it fortunate that Jieying has never practiced the Earth Sword Technique that Brother Yu taught her?" Huang Jieying said.

"It was always just several types of auras, simply mixed together," Yu Feng said.

Guo Wei glanced at Ling Fan. *Heh*, Hua Yileng truly had the skill to win over Ling Fan’s heart. He had saved Ling Fan; Ling Li should be very grateful to him, right? Everything he did was merely to curry favor with Ling Li.

She was currently hiding in a place where coral and seaweed were tangled together, outside the safety distance stipulated by the Mermaid Prison.

He had people curse Li Jing for three days and three nights; his ancestors back eighteen generations had likely been dragged out for abuse, and even his ancestral graves were probably steaming with rage. Yet, Li Jing simply would not come out to fight.

Watching Chen Xiao enter the stone house, the five of them looked at each other, seeing a glimmer of a smile in each other’s eyes.

Some Japanese soldiers protected their necks with both hands, having learned to run around the trees to avoid gunfire. Others, terrified, climbed into trees, only to be shot down.

After tidying everything up, Nian Yun was left with a face full of dark lines as she looked at the many large chests that had filled the great hall almost to the brim.

Long Bing let Fang Jie take Wang Yan aside for a pep talk. As for Guo Feibo, he did not offer a single word of comfort, for if it came to feelings, Long Bing’s bond with Wang Gang was no less than that of Guo Feibo.

After Alahabagan begged Lin Ruyuan to help him get a Type 38 Arisaka rifle through this Japanese soldier, he stared blankly at Lin Ruyuan in the darkness. He waited and waited, but seeing no movement, he grew very anxious. In his own mind, the Japanese army was burning, killing, and looting across the Balin Grassland—why be polite to this Japanese soldier?

Just then, in the distant sky above the White Jade Plaza, green light bloomed, and a green stone tablet nearly a thousand zhang tall slowly emerged.

Such a bizarre situation could only suggest one thing: they had likely been deliberately driven into a "pocket" by the enemy.

However, this array could only be activated by consuming a human life; how could it be opened by mere blood?

At the same time, because underground work was so complex and full of sudden crises, Han Linfu had never paid her any heed from his time at Peking University through his later revolutionary work, and he never knew that such a pair of beautiful eyes had been watching him all along.

Ye Han felt his physical condition was abysmal; the spirit stone in his belly was rapidly consuming his vitality. Perhaps he could tame it with the power of his soul, but that would take time. If it were anyone else, they would have been burned alive by the fire element before they could finish absorbing it.

*Eek!* Sifeng pushed back suddenly, causing him to miss. He... he... what was wrong with him? May I ask, am I to interpret this as him being drunk and disorderly?

Huang Xuanling took out his identity token and, upon closer inspection, discovered that it read: "Elder of the Artifact Refining Hall."

"Gongjin, this... you are not unaware that the Jizhou army has been moving frequently lately, and Yuan Benchu seems to have the intention of deploying troops. If there truly is a war, how could the Tiger Guard Army be without Dian?" Dian Wei had to obey the words of the elder and the orders of Xiao Yi, but he still said to Zhou Yu, unwilling to give up, for he did not wish to leave the Tiger Guard Army.

"This..." The imperial physician wiped the sweat from his forehead and stole a glance at the Wang consort. Seeing no sign of obstruction, he said, "As long as you take good care of your health, you will be able to conceive in the future. It is just that your body is currently too weak, and for the time being..." The physician trailed off, leaving the sentence unfinished.

*Sss...* The Blood Guanyin’s sword pierced Du Bian’s clothing and cut his skin, but it froze instantly.

Suddenly, Ye Han left the Shadow Snow Wolf, leapt off its back, and approached the Snow-Treading Immortal Wolf.

A rain of arrows covering the sky descended upon the earth, and raging flames scorched the parched soil, yet I knew... this move had missed.

Lin Yifeng was such a fool, actually volunteering to chug white spirits during the wheel-battle, which played right into the hands of Jiang Jin and the others.
