Candy’s roller-car race was organized by the Fengyun District Government of Yuezhou, with the Yuezhou Star Children’s Cycling Academy serving as co-organizer. This year marked its third edition.
The only half of Plank’s face that still looked human seemed to be trying to smile, appearing rather hideous in the pale blue-green medical fluid.
Some sharp-eyed Japanese soldiers had already spotted the direction in which Gu Shian and the others were fleeing, and they hurried after them.
Throughout Nantianpu, there was always a weak point. As long as that breach was opened, it would be enough—just like a thousand-mile embankment: once a single section was hollowed out by an ant nest, the whole thing was bound to burst.
Who could have imagined that he even understood film? He spoke with such authority that even Qin Xuanbing, a professional actress, was deeply shaken.
“Commander, could you tell us your reasons? I would like to hear your views,” Wang Liang asked.
The guard followed Zhang Sheng out of the tent. Zhang Sheng’s hand, hidden inside the package, slowly emerged, and a dagger had already revealed its sinister grin.
The fat man nervously reached out, intending to brush aside a strand of dark-golden hair covering the host’s forehead, but his exhausted body suddenly gave way at that very moment.
When the surrounding Gui Army soldiers saw the highest military commander of Mengcheng personally step forward to direct the battle, their morale immediately soared.
The two sides returned to the court. Li Muhao and Sun Yue came off for the Huaxia men’s basketball team, replaced by Wang Zhelin and Ding Yuhang.
Everyone else was green with envy, wishing they could take Hu Zhensong’s place and kneel there themselves. Yet, not knowing the temperaments of the several Immortal Masters opposite them, they did not dare to interrupt casually, afraid that one reckless remark might bring unforeseen trouble.
One had happily finished groping the other, while the other was equally pleased to have been groped. Together, they walked toward the source of the voice.
Of course, it was not that they could not sneak out or take the opportunity to slip away somewhere in search of people. But they understood perfectly well what sort of consequences such a thing might bring.
Sure enough, the moment Mo Xize heard those words, a layer of frost settled over his face. Seeing him like that, Mu Yue felt inexplicably pleased.

Yan Xiao, however, remained determined. Jian Mo pulled her into his arms. “There really is no problem.” Looking at Yan Xiao’s somewhat pale expression, he could hardly fail to understand that using spiritual energy to examine her body would be effortless. Besides, even Bai Hua seemed unwilling to treat her, which made it obvious that something was wrong with her elixir field.
Mo Chen had never expected Han Xiqing’s parents to have installed such a mechanism as well. From the outside, it was impossible to tell that the wall could be opened—and the secret lay within.
When the two reached the academy gates, two other figures that had caused a tremendous commotion were slowly approaching from another direction.
Tie Wan had just been reprimanded by his superior and had nowhere to vent his anger. Seeing Bai Liuli laughing so merrily, his rage burned even hotter, and he strode toward her menacingly.
The so-called Pill Radiance meant that a refined pill had surpassed the supreme grade. With each additional layer of efficacy, a brilliant, delicate pattern would form on the surface of the pill.
Before he knew it, Li Xiaoyao had been walking for who knew how long. When he glanced at the map, he realized that he had already reached the depths of the desert.
Although the burn was not serious, it was typhoon weather, and he had spent the entire night in the studio. Returning early in the morning through torrential rain would have left even someone in excellent physical condition barely able to endure it.
Qin Baoning would not let her live comfortably, so she would not let the Qin brothers have an easy time either. Recently, Qin Haining had been thriving, all thanks to Young Master Jin. She wanted to see what the Qin siblings would be capable of if the young master of the Jin family cast Qin Haining aside. How would they manage to establish themselves in Liangzhou City then?
“Mingfeng’s words are exactly to my liking. As for that rebel, Li Niliu—how should he be dealt with?” Sun Chuanting pondered for a moment before asking again.
Nevertheless, Yi Shengge did her best to make herself appear and sound as though she were not angry in the slightest.
“Have her stay home and wait for marriage. If she causes any more disgrace, she should not blame me, her grandmother, for being ruthless.”
Ever since she had been banished to the Netherworld five hundred years ago, Xiaoyao Hall had become exceptionally desolate, utterly ignored by everyone. She had never used the name of the Xiaoyao Realm to stir up romantic entanglements outside, either. If someone had come seeking revenge, that was even more impossible.
Su Ran’s shoulders began to tremble more violently, and Lingling was now so anxious that she no longer knew what to do.
When the old master of the Yue family saw Old Master Xu personally delivering red-dyed eggs, he was genuinely bewildered and finally asked outright.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of heavy footsteps. Turning around, she saw Fu Yunzheng approaching from not far away.
Seeing that Qian Ji had already delivered his final verdict, Blade Maniac did not dare say anything more, though he still regarded Fan Dongliu’s words with deep disdain.
After everyone reached the shore, Ren Tian climbed onto the beach but saw no foreign fishermen anywhere. It seemed that they had landed in a sparsely inhabited place.
Teacher Zhai had a distinctive way of shaking hands as well. With Ziyang, he merely gave his right hand a light squeeze, touching and withdrawing like a dragonfly skimming the water. But when he shook hands with Su Rui, he extended both hands and gripped hers firmly, his eyes roaming over her without pause.
Su Rui smiled. “My brother and I volunteered. Scientific research requires a certain willingness to sacrifice and take risks, though Uncle has always kept the dangers under strict control.”
Perhaps it would not be long before some of them fell into their own traps. Whenever he thought of it, he could not help laughing.
After walking for a while longer, they came upon a lofty mountain. From a distance, they could see guards patrolling the entrance to a cave. As expected, this was the Demon Cult’s stronghold.
The backdoor-and-rear-assault tactic was meant for situations in which one held the advantage. In fact, it was a strategy evolved from the fast-push style. Yet when it came to execution, it seemed that few of the Korean teams could employ it with real ease.
Patriarch Yin Ji laughed. “This old Daoist attained enlightenment several thousand years before you. With nothing else to do all these years, I have devoted myself to cultivating divine abilities. I suppose I have made a laughingstock of myself before you, Daoist friend!”
Another spirit talisman appeared, transforming into a blazing sun. It was the Sun God Talisman, which released a stream of pure solar fire.
As he spoke, Ke Qi swung his blade. Blade light erupted from every direction, covering nearly every angle. When the slash descended, countless streaks of radiance came crashing down with it.
