“I’m just proud of how accurately I shoot, and of the excellent quality,” the man said without the slightest change in expression, utterly unashamed of his vulgar remark.

As it happened, Yuechu had eaten here that morning and used other things in the afternoon and evening, so no matter how she guessed, she would never suspect herself.

Every day, she had people bring over various ingredients, then prepared different dishes for Shen Junchi to help restore his health. His wounds had improved considerably over the past few days. From time to time, he would take her hand and accompany her on walks by the sea, keeping her company as she played. They watched the sunrise together in the morning and the sunset in the afternoon.

Song Fang hurriedly shook herself, but nothing fell off. She turned her coat this way and that, discovering that there were no leeches on it.

This was what Ouyang Yuanshui had just drunk from. Since she had stopped herself from touching it after seeing that he had already drunk, Xi Fuwei had not noticed which part of the rim he had used.

It had merely gradually become blocked because of the frequent warfare, the lack of maintenance, and several natural disasters in between.

But no matter how capable he was, he was still only an eighth-rank junior spirit controller, equivalent to a third-level Martial Saint. Even with his many tricks, he was still far from qualified to compete with a sixth-level Martial Saint.

Lin Yichun’s face was flushed with embarrassment. She hurried back to her room, unwilling to witness Long Fei and Lu Xueyao’s affectionate display.

“Beheading.” The Old Imperial Father-in-Law’s choice of word made Rong Tang’s brows knit sharply. Wasn’t that the same method they had used to kill Old Cheng?

Her slender figure was frail yet resilient, free and decisive, without the slightest hesitation or backward glance.

In the past, although Liang Fanxin had not been cold, she was stubborn enough to give anyone dealing with outsiders a headache. Whenever she met someone she did not wish to acknowledge, she truly would not say a single word. Now, however, she had become much more tactful.

Gu Xinglang’s good mood carried him through the entire afternoon. Even while discussing affairs, a hint of excitement unconsciously slipped through his usually deep and solemn tone.

“Perhaps they aren’t actually that powerful. Perhaps they’re merely taking advantage of some natural phenomenon. It’s like primitive humans mastering fire: in the eyes of animals, they became gods, and no animal could ever challenge humanity again,” Wen Ren Sheng analyzed.

When they reached the hospital, the doctor conducted a preliminary examination and felt that the injuries were not serious. Nevertheless, to eliminate any hidden concerns, Chu Xiaoyang insisted that Gu Jinnan undergo a CT scan. Only after seeing that the results matched the doctor’s diagnosis did he finally relax.

After an entire morning of political theory, Brother Dafei’s head was spinning. The old instructor’s lecture was like a lullaby—both tedious and boring. At last, when the bell rang, Brother Dafei could hardly wait to leap out of the classroom.

“Why don’t you go in and see for yourself?” Guan Jin acted as though he had not noticed the panic in her eyes and got out of the car on his own.

“Bang!”

A sharp pain shot through the back of Liang Fanxin’s head. She had turned over too forcefully and struck the back of her head hard against the bed.

After saying this, Gu Jincheng looked toward Rong Qing, who had remained silent from beginning to end. “Mom, I’m going to work.” Then he walked out the front door without looking back.

Someone had once spread a rumor that Nia was his illegitimate child. Later, those who knew the truth—that he had adopted Nia—revealed it, and everyone fell silent.

Wu Xian hurriedly rose. “My lord… let me serve you.” She quickly threw on her clothes and prepared to help Liu He get up.

Ru Mo glanced sideways, the corners of her lips unconsciously lifting into a cold smile. Xiao Yan had thought of the same thing she had. At last, he had managed to get Ning Xue into the woods. It seemed he had received the signal she sent through the fireflies. In other words, the Eight Trigrams Formation had been broken, and anyone could enter now.

Therefore, Fisher did not return, nor did any of the other clan leaders who had gone out to deliver messages. Not a single young merperson dared to act on their own.

A landmark building stood on the most prosperous commercial street in City A. The person in question was currently on the building’s twenty-third floor.

“What suggestions do you have for capturing the stronghold?” Ning Yitian did not issue an order directly. Instead, he asked the three hall masters below him, along with the other disciples who had attended the meeting.

Murong stared blankly at Zhai Mo, hoping he could resolve the awkward predicament they were in. After all, Murong had never imagined that Zhai Mo would harbor such thoughts at a time like this.

Within this mysterious space, people had no sense of direction. Or perhaps direction simply did not exist here.

Long Tianyi had originally ranked first among the new students, but after Luo Chong defeated him, the title naturally fell to Luo Chong. Now, however, there were many more uncertainties.

By the time she awoke, it was nearly the Hour of Chen, and the sky was already bright. Helan Jin hurriedly rose from the couch, remembering that she had to go to Kuny i Palace at the Hour of Chen to pay her respects to the Grand Empress Dowager.

Moreover, why did Murong always feel that every conversation with Song Lin taught her something new—or that she was somehow hearing from Song Lin about a “Murong Jinran” even Murong herself did not know?

Whether there was something wrong with her or not, the fact remained that her steps were growing increasingly weak. At first, she had been walking separately from Jin Chan Zi, but the farther they went, the closer she drew to him. In the end, she had practically placed all her weight on Jin Chan Zi.

With the support of grenades, the Tang forces suffered almost no casualties apart from a few losses caused by the enemy’s close-range crossbows.

It was the same purchasing official as last time. He had assumed the man would arrange for someone to handle it, but the man merely looked up and asked, “The Western Turks? Why have you come so soon?”

Before Lawyer Pei could order a retreat, the five thousand men surged toward the mountain behind them like a swarm, fleeing uphill. From a distance, it looked as though deserters had scattered across the entire mountainside.

Watching the abbot of Shaolin Temple’s Discipline Hall press them so aggressively, An Daofu’s heart burned with fury.

There were four doors in the walls surrounding the square, each corresponding to a room. This enormous third floor contained only four rooms, which explained why the price was so exorbitant.

Of course, Sister Chan might merely have been expressing an older sister’s concern for her younger brother. Qin Yang did not dare let his thoughts wander any further.

The corner of Lin Han’s mouth twitched. Why did this divine dragon look as though it wanted to toss him straight into its mouth and devour him?

But this wine was unexpectedly fierce. Lu Xin and Donghuang Longfei both hissed as it went down, and a powerful burning sensation erupted in an instant. Lu Xin was still better off, since he had comprehended the Law of Fire. For those who had grasped that law, Burning Essence Fierce Wine brought tremendous benefits.

“I admit that I’m no match for you, but one day I’ll grind you beneath my feet!” Bai Xiaochen’s gaze was sharp. He released his tightly clenched fists and spat out the threat, his eyes filled with resentment.
