Thank you for supporting the official release.

At this time, wild vegetables were growing rapidly in the wind. The group headed deeper into the mountains and managed to bag a pheasant and two wild rabbits along the way. Having survived the winter, the rabbits were not as plump as they would be in autumn, but they were not too lean either; it was enough for three plates of meat.

The 21st District is the only mountainous region in Academy City, used for experiments that require a simulated natural environment, such as the one currently underway.

Yu Linglong looked up at the endless horizon. Who could she blame? She could only blame herself for letting her heart wander, but... why did her heart have to ache like this? Seeing his playful, arrogant expression only deepened her sorrow. She wiped the tears from her face and, feigning determination, spoke up.

The two matrons who arrived did not know how to swim either. Sang Yu glanced at Yue Yin, thinking that such painstaking effort was clearly meant to destroy her as well. In such freezing pool water, even if Bei Mingchan were here, the intense cold would settle into her body, making it difficult to conceive in the future.

However, Mo Dao, equipped with numerous pieces of advanced black technology, had no intention of letting them off easily. Since many high-tech devices were involved that his subordinates couldn't handle, he had to work with Mo to set them up. There were a great number of intelligence agents to deal with one by one, keeping Mo Dao quite busy.

Zhu Bajie felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Tang Sanzang smiling at him.

"Based on my projections, considering the current balance of power, the zero-casualty result you desire is impossible!" Mo was not as polite as Mo Tian and the others.

"Follow me." They brought over six logs, dug six large holes around the stone house, buried the logs, and used vines to create a simple spiderweb-like structure.

Before he could finish speaking, the man waved his hand, unleashing a flurry of wind blades that engulfed Liu Qingzhu, Yang Rui, and the others.

"Very well, Big Brother, I will listen to you. We must also ensure the soldiers keep it a secret; Young Master Tianba’s ability to unleash an ultimate technique cannot be spread." Kanan nodded in agreement without hesitation, adding this caveat.

As the saying goes, there are no airtight walls in the world, especially in Xindu, one of the centers of the world's power. How could He Jin not have spies to inform him of all this?

Zhen Rou thought about her upcoming marriage to a distant land and felt a desperate urge to shoulder as much as she could for her mother before leaving. Naturally, she took the initiative to organize the Mid-Autumn family banquet.

Bai Fengjiao watched as Liu Ruyue’s body grew increasingly taut, the firm chest and collarbones clearly exposed. With a frown and a strong, ominous premonition, she forcefully turned Liu Ruyue’s head to face her. Upon contact, she realized it was far too easy, as if Liu Ruyue had no strength left to resist.

With a fleeting thought, Zhen Rou stopped dwelling on it and let Cao Jin lean half-heavily upon her, planning only to find her older sister once she got up.

Half a month was more than enough time, and Li Fengjue was intentionally dragging things out.

Lei Yu’s words left him stunned. Ye Fenglin was not good with words, and moreover, he had never expected Yu'er to refuse.

Liang Yuan had been a few minutes late today due to a call from an overseas friend, rushing into the classroom just as the bell rang. She hadn't noticed anything until the end of the lecture, when she realized Lan Fei had also come to class, sitting in the very last row.

Lu Changfeng crouched down to help her tidy up the items she had dumped out of her storage ring while searching for a gift for Yu Cang.

The saying goes that troubled times produce heroes. When a powerful empire is first established, countless mighty heroes always emerge.

After speaking, she looked directly into his eyes, wanting to observe his reaction upon hearing about Ya'er's plight.

Zhuo Junyi was a very kind person; when she opened her shop, she referred many people to it.

"Fifth Young Master, if you were to acquire this bottle of red wine, I would be willing to pay three taels of silver," Guan Shaohe said solemnly.

Luo glanced at him, poured himself a cup of tea in silence, and drank it slowly while lost in his own thoughts.

The former Governor of Donghai, Xiao Muzan, had been at odds with the Han family in Donghai, facing difficulties at every turn, until he finally lost his son's life and fled in disgrace. The imperial court immediately sent this Yang Qing to replace him.

"Since you, sir, wish to see our proprietor, you should have let us announce you first. To intrude uninvited like this is quite impolite," Luo said coldly.

Was he inviting her to dinner? No, this was not an invitation; it was clearly a notification—an order issued to her.

When Han Bitu saw Han Mo enter, he hurriedly tugged at Shen Fei’s sleeve and whispered, "Commander Zhu, the Fifth Young Master is here!" He then bowed respectfully toward Han Mo.

"Haha, Sister Cai, could you synchronize the viewership data for 'If You Are the One' to my computer?" Zhang Qihang asked with a smile.

Xing Cheng was swift and decisive. After dinner, he was already able to come and go from Lingxi’s home as he pleased.

Our company was assigned a "contracted area." Because we were truly short-handed, the area felt quite large—four or five hills and several square kilometers of the surrounding territory.

The Black Dragon that Liansheng condensed using the fierce weapon from the Earth Ranking was only equivalent to a fifth-heaven master. If even the giants could not accomplish that task, the Black Dragon certainly could not.

Startled by the sudden shout, the soldier’s legs nearly gave out. He cast a timid glance at Yi Jun, swallowed dryly, choked back the words he had intended to say, and returned to his formation, dejected.

"Damn it, why am I feeling melancholy? Better to go save Luofu." With that, he activated the Gale Spell and vanished into the woods to search for her. He hoped she was alright; otherwise, he would be trapped in her dream world with no way to struggle free.

However, his phone remained switched off. Was he really doing something important with Jin Ziling and the others? What should he do? That voice—would it affect his family?
