Chapter 25 (Part 3)

"Then... where did this come from?" A wave of foreboding surged through An Youran's heart.

Later, after a gastroenterology exam, the doctor told her that there was nothing wrong with her stomach.

"It’s just like clothes; no matter when it is, you always feel like something is missing," Bei Yelu said with a gentle smile. His eyebrows curved into soft ripples, as if he were perpetually amused, arched like the bright, waxing crescent moon in the night sky.

"Nothing, it’s nothing. Your disciple was just thinking about how to handle my opponent tomorrow; I’m nervous, that’s why I’m like this," Cong Han shook her head and said softly.

Su Xia tilted her head. In truth, she also wanted to know where her own body had gone. That was why she hadn't tried to disrupt Luo Feng when he attempted to forcibly summon someone else's summoned beast earlier. She wondered if her phoenix and white tiger would still recognize her now.

Because ferocious beasts could appear in this jungle at any moment, Yan Zhengxi hadn't allowed her to come along at first. It was only after he had gradually mapped out some safe areas in the woods that he dared to bring her along to pick wild fruit.

Taking advantage of the moment Chong Ying was chatting with him, Xue Meng agilely slipped behind him and neatly severed the red thread.

Cong Han hurriedly scrambled out of Lin Feng’s arms and replied, "Coming!" With that, she ran off. Lin Feng remained where he was, watching her retreating figure with a smile.

"Hmph! If I were to throw myself at you, would you even dare to accept?" Su Yao lifted her chin, remembering the words her mother had said.

Leaving Jinan, You Fang followed the route he had taken years ago by train to Luoyang. Upon arriving, he headed straight for the Ancient Tomb Museum. Visitors were exceptionally rare this season, leaving the lobby feeling empty and permeated with an indescribable, chilling aura. As soon as he entered the museum, he walked into the long, underground passage.

"Report to the leader, this obstacle poses no difficulty for us," Number One replied. The barbed wire for the low-crawl was relatively high, and the wooden wall was a meter shorter than what they had been trained on.

He was waiting to prune away certain unexpected factors... and as of now, Haotian was exactly one of those unexpected factors in his eyes.

The group walked to the edge of the lake. The water rippled slightly, washing over the muddy banks. The sand and stones had been polished smooth, and the colorful pebbles along the shore were vaguely visible.

"You're still laughing?" Nalan Yanyue looked at Xiao Fan, looking annoyed. To her, it was clear that Xiao Fan was gloating over her misfortune.

These superstar players were laughing and talking in the room. The suite was huge, featuring recreational facilities like billiards and indoor golf. Some were playing games, others were playing poker, showing absolutely no signs of tension.

"It's nothing, it was just like having a nightmare," Bai Yunpiao said, a flush of embarrassment appearing on her face. After all, in that basement, Wang Baoyu had seen her body completely exposed.

He, too, had to leave. Di Qing’s army had set out two months ago, and it was likely that the Song Dynasty’s offensive against the Kara-Khan Khanate would begin soon. Chen Yuan had to go to the Uyghur region to ensure the safety of the Song army's rear and guarantee that the transport of all strategic supplies remained smooth, preventing the Song forces from suffering the same fate as the Tang Dynasty’s army.

Empty-handed, one certainly couldn't inflict significant damage on a giant python, even with inner energy, and it was difficult to wield a sword properly inside the room.

Zhang Liqin didn't know what to say; after all, cooking for her parents-in-law was only right. She had merely mentioned to her mother-in-law that she should help look after the children, and the woman had reacted like a ruffled hen, jumping up as if she wanted to bite someone.

"I don't even know how to talk to her anymore; what do you want me to do?" Xu Zuoyan protested with a mournful face.

Besides returning to the city to ask for A-Jiu's thoughts, he also had to give a heads-up at home. If A-Jiu intended to vie for the throne, he didn't want his father dragging him down.

Carrying the stew that Mother Xu had specially made for Ye Kaicheng, Xu Zuoyan returned to Ye Kaicheng’s place while lost in thought. The house remained pitch black; Ye Kaicheng had not yet returned.

Wan Qi nodded, but just as she decided to reach out and touch it, a sudden burst of golden light from behind caused her to stop her movements.

Instantly, those few people were sent flying, their internal organs displaced; they vomited several mouthfuls of blood and suffered severe injuries.

Xiu Qiqi had gone through these procedures before, but she was a person of direct action. For instructors who were busy or frequently on missions, she preferred to choose a more straightforward method of contact.

The nurse beside her was about to speak, but her eyes flickered. No, this was, after all, a private matter regarding Director Lin’s family, and because of the incident with Zhou Yuanyuan back then, it was now a taboo in the hospital. During meetings, the leadership had explicitly told them not to spread gossip.

He could only stare fixedly at Li Chenghuan with his eyes—Leader Li, even though we aren't gay, surely you can see the sincerity in my eyes as I truly wish to perish together with this monster, can't you?

Only then did Ming Xue realize that Gui Xi might have known exactly what she was planning to do and had come here specifically to intercept her. A burst of annoyance rose in her heart. "You knew all along that I was going to the Demon Palace tonight, didn't you!" It wasn't a question, but a statement of certainty.

The next day, when the sun was high, Ding Chuan returned from his body-tempering exercises to find the great black ape hugging the tree he lived in and shaking it vigorously, causing the ancient tree to tremble violently as branches and leaves flew everywhere.

Wen Tian was different; he was full of shock. He had just been lamenting that the five gods who had appeared were only half-step Venerables, and now he was stunned to find they had all simultaneously become God Venerables. As his gaze swept over the faces of the five newly ascended God Venerables, he felt for a moment that the entire world had become abnormal and unreasonable.

Upon closer inspection, the recruitment notice was also crumpled and slightly yellowed. Touching it didn't feel like paper, but rather something furry with a distinct texture.

However, Ling Xiao’s eccentric reputation over the years was certainly no exaggeration. Her constant stream of bizarre tricks ultimately led them through danger without harm.

The Togekiss watched in a daze. They never expected that the taciturn, hardworking, and unfathomably powerful Ninja Frog General from Togepi Paradise would end up in such a miserable state.

Su Yun凉 certainly wouldn't let it swallow it into its belly. She directly used silk thread to tie the sea snake's fangs. Surprisingly, the sea snake didn't feel anything was wrong and went off, triumphant, to continue fighting that tentacle monster.

"Looking at the goods and treasures in this cabinet now, it seems only this Purple Origin Fruit is worth looking forward to. The other items don't seem to be of much use to me at the moment," Han Lin murmured, reaching out to touch the box containing the Purple Origin Fruit.
