Aili had intended to find an empty table, but he had forgotten that there were an unusually large number of guests today. Not a single vacant table remained, which he found rather unfortunate.

Aili did not agree at once. He hesitated, still unable to forget how she had previously manipulated him into becoming part of her scheme.

The corpse was perfectly clean. The clothes had not been torn, there was no skin beneath the fingernails, and there were no signs of a struggle.

As expected, in the instant the red-eyed young man froze in surprise, a ball of flame appeared in each of Dantai Mingyue’s hands.

Gu Xiaocheng simply lifted the bowl, picked up the spoon, and brought the red bean porridge to her lips.

The first thing that met his eyes was an exquisite shop, not much different from the one in the game, except that there were now walking NPCs.

It seemed that although she had escaped that incident with her life, she had still paid a heavy price.

Treasure-light flashed around his body, clearly showing that he had already cultivated the Profound Grotto Treasure Light to protect himself. His expression remained calm as he continued throwing punches, each blow carrying the force of immense waves and driving the middle-aged cultivator before him backward again and again.

It would have been one thing if they had merely joined forces with Gu Xiaocheng to cause her miscarriage. But now they had even set their sights on her personally. How could she possibly continue to endure it?

Compared with Shang Wushang, Fifth Mo spoke calmly, keeping Ink City in perfect order. Naturally, he had never appeared in Glass City again, nor had he seen Ye Qingjue. But that did not mean he had abandoned the vicious schemes he had once devised. After all, Luo Wusheng—the woman he had set his sights on—was still in Glass City. Everything had to wait for the most suitable moment.

“Mom, I’m still not awake yet.” Jiahao kept his eyes closed, still lost in sleep. Su Ruoyao dressed him, put on his shoes, and then wheeled him into the bathroom to rinse his mouth and wash his face.

Although he was only eighteen, Regnar had already completed many assassination missions with distinction. Not only was he experienced, but his psychological resilience had also continued to improve over the past few years.

In any case, she felt that she would never love again, nor would she ever find someone who truly loved her. Since that was the case, why not cultivate whenever she had the opportunity? From then on, she would become a different kind of person. As for Liu Jiangnan, he could get lost.

The Berserker Tribe had lived in the Abyss of Oblivion for several thousand years without being tainted by the outside world, and thus still possessed their berserk constitution. After being reorganized this time, the Berserker Legion numbered five thousand in total: one thousand five hundred berserker cavalrymen and three thousand five hundred berserker infantrymen.

Su Mu was not afraid of Xiao Peng discovering his identity, nor was he afraid that anyone else might recognize him. What he feared most was Bai Liqing. The other man possessed his soul-blood; no matter how Su Mu altered his appearance or bearing, under Bai Liqing’s Myriad Ghosts Blood-Devouring Token, it was as though he were standing naked. Nothing he did could have any effect.

“She’s dead!” This time, Si Qinglong did not hesitate. The moment Ye Ge asked the question, he answered at once.

“Teacher, don’t... come any closer!” Li Hai’s voice seemed to emerge from between clenched teeth. It was hoarse, with a trace of anger he was desperately suppressing.

The dark-red dagger spun once in Li Hai’s hand. The next moment, his expression grew focused as he stared at the mutton before him, fat dripping from it without pause. A streak of white flashed through his eyes.

The two men hurriedly bowed and nodded. Before Su Mu, even when they extended their spiritual senses to investigate, he still seemed no different from an ordinary mortal. The situation left them deeply perplexed. It proved that the plainly featured man before them was either a mortal—or a cultivator, and one whose cultivation was at least an entire major realm higher than theirs.

Yet seeing her so cold and distant, as though she had once again become the ice-cold beauty he had first known, Chen Ao could not help feeling disappointed. He thought, I am your lifesaver, after all. Even if you needn’t thank me profusely, couldn’t you at least say hello?

Fu Junzhuo’s tears fell in torrents as she buried her head in Beiming Lei’s chest and wept uncontrollably. Beiming Lei gently stroked her back, comforting her.

“But there is one thing I am deeply dissatisfied with!” Baron Robert suddenly paused and turned toward Cecil.

That night, Li Hao drifted into dreams with his wonderful plan in mind. Yet early the next morning, he was awakened by someone pounding furiously on the door.

Every grievance has its source, and every debt its debtor. Lin Yan decided to investigate first and find out exactly whom Tang Ao had taken with him to the Lin household back then.

Professor Chen had barely finished speaking when he collapsed unconscious onto the ground. At that very moment, the entire mountain suddenly began to tremble, as though it were on the verge of splitting apart and collapsing.

The people beside him could not stop their tears from spilling down their cheeks. For a moment, even Gao Yang found his emotions difficult to control. He turned around and looked toward the surface of the river.

Qingfeng stepped forward and returned the greeting respectfully, while secretly using his discerning eye to examine the other man’s background. He discovered no trace that the man had ever practiced cultivation.

Deng Yongqi came from the first-rank immortal sect, the Martial Zen Sect. Unlike ordinary immortal sects, the Martial Zen Sect cultivated the physical body, believing that a powerful body was the foundation of everything. Its disciples tempered their bodies until they were comparable to immortal artifacts, making them rather similar to demonic cultivators. They emphasized close combat and short-range strikes.

Sun Zheng and Qian Qi waited outside. Li Yan frowned and turned her head away, inwardly snorting, I’ll deal with you properly tonight.

Yang Baizhang, however, did not think so. Although he possessed many soulstone rings, most of them could release only low-level abilities, which were not particularly useful to Ning Qiu.

Mo Lingran had thought everything through beautifully, but she had never imagined that after Lan Yuchen came down, everything would change.

Yet another part of her kept comforting her. No matter what happened, Mu Ximo would never abandon her. He definitely would not.

I have always been completely sincere toward Chen Jie. At the beginning, Song Fang once warned me to be on my guard around her. But after spending time with Chen Jie, I discovered that she was genuinely a good person. As we grew closer, I began treating her sincerely. I felt that this was the very least one could do out of basic respect for another person.
