Chapter 61

One could not help but feel a natural sense of closeness to Ye Fengxuan; even knowing that her status was lofty and exalted, she still radiated an approachable warmth.

Moreover, using a defensive magical treasure at a time like this was hardly wise. With plenty of space available, if not dodging now, when was the time?

As she fed the child, she would steal lingering glances at Qin Mo, knowing that hereafter, she might never see him again.

"Mengze, to think you actually went behind my back to pull off such a stunt!" Yimian usually had the mildest of tempers, but now she could no longer suppress her towering rage.

Having thus confirmed Zhen Rou's nervousness, Cao Jing's gaze narrowed slightly, landing directly upon that exquisitely made-up, delicate face.

She had thought he would be angry; after all, these past few days and everything he had done pointed to the fact that he was indeed furious.

Such a spirit beast endowed with peerless natural spiritual energy naturally brought joy to the heart, and Qingxuan couldn't help breaking into a smile.

"Yichen, our Jiang family is not omnipotent after all. There are mountains beyond mountains, and men beyond men," Elder Jiang said with a soft sigh.

"I know. The face in my mind is you..." Di Moxuan gazed deeply into the breathtaking, peerless visage before him, absolute certainty filling his eyes.

Besides, the sharpness of Qin Ruixi's jade flute sword exceeded all imagination. To say nothing of a turtle in its initial stages, the defensive standards of this world might not even be able to withstand it.

Without lingering in Ziling City, once matters there were concluded, Liangren took his several Pokémon and returned to the Metasequoia Forest Camp.

They seemed to be savoring a cruel and cold-blooded game of cat and mouse.

Whether they were grandmaster weapon refiners, alchemists, puppet masters, or array masters, as long as they could forge weapons, magical treasures, pills, puppets, or formations for the Spirit Star realm, they could be classified as spirit grade. This was the lowest tier.

The moment Fang Zheng heard him bring up his parents cleaning toilets, his anger flared. He lunged forward fiercely, knocked Fang Jiu to the ground with a single punch, and within two or three blows beat him into a swollen pighead.

Still, he tried to comfort himself, thinking there was nothing to fear; if his own spiritual energy was beginning to wane, his opponent's must be diminishing even faster. If he just held out a little longer, victory would surely be his.

My mom and dad weren't home and had gone out to play. Maomao was at home; seeing me wash my hands the moment I walked through the door, she thought something was wrong with me and kept questioning me endlessly. After I told her what had happened, Maomao laughed until her stomach ached and mercilessly teased me over and over again.

Glancing at the still-damp strands of hair at Xun Yi's temples, the young man's complexion still carried a trace of pallor. Although the effect of the golden needles overcoming the tribulation had achieved the expected outcome, he must have made this decision only after steeling his resolve immensely, and when inserting the needles, he had certainly been filled with tension and trepidation.

Song Changsheng said with lingering tenderness, "Xiaomeng, you must believe me. Even if everyone in the entire world shunned you, I never would."

Looking at the wolf demon lunging toward her with its maw agape, she silently flipped it the middle finger in her heart.

After finishing lunch, Yamaga Daibu checked his watch—it was already past two in the afternoon. It seemed nothing substantial could be accomplished today.

From the depths came heavy, startling footsteps that caused the entire continent to tremble, as if a giant were striding forth from the abyss. At this single breath, the other Yin generals belonging to the nether soldiers here instantly trembled all over, seized with panic.

Therefore, upon returning home, the couple regretted it the more they thought about it, growing increasingly depressed. How could they have been frightened so easily? They were just idle remarks casually tossed out by two half-grown kids—how could anyone take them seriously?

This thing was indispensable. One could hire a driver when riding in a sedan, but in the future, did they plan to hire a driver just to cruise around with a girl in a sports car?

"Phantom Gale!" Ziye silently chanted the incantation, and a cyan halo of light enveloped the group.

"True enough. There is no reason why he would leave behind obvious clues for us to investigate," Gao Lang said, somewhat conceding to Wu Qian's words.

Judging by the situation, Wang Liang had long since sawed through the vines with friction, inching his way toward the cave entrance. Unfortunately, already crippled as he was, he was entirely powerless against those boulders, which was why he sat dejectedly at the mouth of the cave.

Between his brows emerged a sea of gods intertwined with gold and silver, amidst which lightning surged and waves crashed. A subtle transformation began to unfold as violet lightning initiated a new round of intertwining and flashing.

One day, Liu Jiuxiong heard a friend mention Longwu County as a place where one could make a comeback. Without a second thought, he followed his friend there, feeling that his luck was decent. He took several hundred million to play *zha jinhua* and ended up losing every single cent.

"Lu Yao, you at least have the ability to transform your elemental energy into a giant python. How are the rest of us who haven't even touched the threshold supposed to keep our dignity?" someone nearby said bitterly.

The backbone of the Shun army consisted of elite cavalry possessed by plague ghosts, while the remaining troops were composed of refugees, bandits, rebels, and a massive horde of angry farmers.

"Four months," Jun Moling said indifferently, as if nothing in the world had ever managed to capture his attention.

"Stop offering such terrible ideas. Why don't you just tell me to cosplay Teemo?" Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes drastically. Eat calcium tablets? Lately, she felt that not only had her height shown zero change, but even the nutrients required for daily life were probably being siphoned away by development elsewhere.

Fortunately, prior to this, Zhang Yue had already directed the soldiers and civilians of Juyan to carry out large-scale water conservancy construction projects.

Xu Tianyi had never imagined she would bring him straight to her home; originally, he had only intended to visit the seaside and find some random place to stay.

An ailment like this certainly had no good remedies in this era. The safest form of treatment for him was simply to lie in bed unmoving, minimizing the worsening trend of the illness as much as possible.

Xu Xuan smiled as he picked up the incense stick the child had dropped on the ground and handed it back to the terrified youngster. Coincidentally, the child's parents stepped out at that moment to paste Spring Festival couplets, and seeing this scene, they broke into smiles as well.

"Li Zexi!!!" Luo Qianqian's expression changed drastically. Looking at the pool of blood on the ground, did vomiting blood signify internal organ injuries? Luo Qianqian didn't even dare to think deeply. Yet the burly man who had bitten her remained unsatisfied and delivered two vicious kicks to Luo Qianqian's body.

By now, an endless stream of townspeople was coming to the Baohetang Pharmacy to collect medicine. In the past, when no one came to Baohetang for medical consultations, Xu Xuan would be so idle his bottom hurt from sitting, but now with all this bustling activity, his entire body began to ache with soreness.
