“Why not!” Lin Xiao protested.

Si Yao replied, “His former fiancée is called Tan Fei. She’s the only daughter of the Tan family, famous for their wealth, and she’s extremely fond of Xing Ke.”

“So what?”

Si Yao was about to fetch some scallions and ginger from the fridge, but Lin Xiao blocked the way, refusing to let her pass...

Still, some unfortunate souls failed to escape in time, swept into the temporal rift by the whirlwind of divine power.

“That’s impossible! So far, we haven’t discovered any alien race that looks exactly like humans. It’s simply not possible,” K asserted confidently.

Many people were furious, but that terrifying aura pinned them down, rendering them incapable of movement. Some powerful figures standing too close were shattered instantly as the great bell descended, dissolving into a mist of blood.

The four cards were laid out, and all four were astonished. It was July 14th, and they had just told ghost stories—could it really have summoned spirits?

Suddenly, Blood Fiend’s expression changed dramatically. He exclaimed, “How can this be?” What did Blood Fiend see? Why had his demeanor shifted so drastically?

Shen Suying turned her head in the direction of Su Xing’s smile, only to see Jin Wei, who had been draped languidly over the half-open door in a seductive pose for an unknown length of time. If she weren’t afraid the tight buttons on her professional attire would pop open, she might have continued to exude that sensuality.

Yet now, none of that mattered. What mattered was... how to deal with the enormous eye before them.

“You really mean that?” Su Xing hoped that Chen Peng, full of official jargon, was only joking, but his expression remained earnest.

As the Bloodthirster’s throat bobbed, the aura of the man in his mouth faded swiftly. Then, a flash of golden light shot by, and the Bloodthirster’s two long fangs were severed at the root.

Who could have guessed that after obtaining the Map of the Universe, the man hadn’t even activated the seal before countless beams of blood light erupted from within. With a thunderous crash, the map shattered into countless fragments.

Qin Wansha hadn’t named anyone, but the interrupted head guard understood something.

Feng Haochen’s narrow gaze first landed on that guard, then on the hairpin Qin Huanhuan had thrown at her feet, and finally appraised Qin Huanhuan herself. In his heart, suspicions were already forming.

Unfortunately, the Lantern Ring paid no heed to young people; if not for Saide’s control, it would have flown away outright.

She instinctively struggled, but this time, his embrace was tight and she could not break free.

“Seize the suspect!” The black man in a long trench coat, wearing an eye mask and with his hands clasped behind his back, commanded with an imposing presence. Five single-unit mechs launched from the mothership.

Emotions tangled together, impossible to distinguish. She only knew something within her heart was trying to break free.

On the screen, the viewers buzzed with excitement, directing the action. Fang Ruohua could only laugh and cry at the chaos.

Zhou Huaixuan slipped into the shadows, watching their figures enter before leaping over the high wall.

The telephone booth suddenly moved sideways, as if someone had pressed an unknown button.

My nerves snapped taut at the sound. Immediately, the giant serpent flicked its tail and spat some unknown liquid at me. I dodged hurriedly.

But at that moment, the man in black sensed a fierce gust approaching, its cutting force making him tense instantly.

“Darling!” The Moon Goddess suddenly hugged me tightly, tears streaming down her face. Her body trembled violently; she seemed utterly overwhelmed.

A plaque hung above the palace gates, marking it as the destination of Xu Yang and his companions: the Hall of Celestial Elixirs.
