“Is devotion merely driven by the poison? Was that passionate confession the same?” Ye Haochuan said sourly.

With that, Scarface Wang Batian ordered Wang Badi to carry Wang Baren, and the three chose a direction, walking away without looking back.

The business vehicle crashed heavily onto its back, glass shards flying in all directions, its four wheels pointed skyward, and the body dragged severely across the ground.

I nodded, glanced at Gu Xiaohui, and after a while, the mark on his forehead began to fade, until it vanished completely. Gu Xiaohui groaned and awoke, opening his eyes to find me calmly watching him. He slowly climbed to his feet.

A few students nodded and walked over to the fire pits from last night. Some embers still glowed red within; they fetched kindling and poured diesel over it, and soon the fires were burning again.

No one knew how much time had passed when suddenly Lu Yu trembled all over, as two points in the meridians surged with the energy of heaven and earth. It happened naturally, and he managed to open the fourth and fifth bridges of the heavens once again.

“The main challenge now,” Lu Yu summarized, “is first to develop an alternating cultivation mode that suppresses the instinctive breathing technique, and second to devise a beast-style method that guides internal energy outside the body.”

Two hundred meters to the left, fifty Dragon Tribe members were still locked in fierce battle. Hearing their young master call the opponent 'grandfather,' they all felt a wave of despair.

Xue Ding was the younger brother of Xue Hu, the city guard of Anding City, and the second son of the former guard Xue Ping, known as Old Master Xue. He had a younger sister, Xue Mingyue. Old Master Xue Ping and Old Master Qian, the wealthiest man in Anding City, were sworn friends.

If Mu Bai’s prediction was correct, this would require spending at least tens of millions on the black market to reach such a star rating.

After a few deep breaths, calm returned. The vehicle was moving, speeding through the vast darkness of night.

Yet it was precisely this unusual calm that made Zhang Yuyan pause for a few seconds, before something struck her suddenly.

To the capital, Xi’an is the countryside; to Xi’an, Hanzhong is the countryside. Wu Xinxin was born and raised in Hanzhong, and could effortlessly recount countless stories of rural customs.

It turned out that Her Highness insisted on staying in Changze City not out of blind ambition, but because of Xi Qianye.

Even though Leng Hao was defeated, in this unprecedented clash of the Douyu, his unrestrained arrogance and the boldness he showed even in dire straits would leave a deep impression on all present.

At this moment, in the deepest room of the Cadre Tower, Sugar, who was on the phone with Doflamingo, wore a terrified expression as the locked door was kicked open. Even though it was made of metal and reinforced by several thick steel bars, it posed no obstacle to the intruder.

Li Na, at a loss, followed inside. She saw that Grandma Tian’s house was full—Li Shuyang, Director Li, and Grandpa Li were all present, which was unusual for this hour.

“So does this mean Sister Han can officially join us?” Liu Tianyu pressed the matter, hoping to finalize it, since Han Minyun had hinted at willingness but never directly agreed to work with him.

The blood that was spat out was not the usual red, but black, with faint traces of wriggling creatures within. She was horror-struck and screamed, trying to flee.

Lin Yinan parked the car steadily in the courtyard of the Zhong family’s old residence. The building was dark except for the lights in the ground-floor living room. Lin Yinan glanced at Zhong Yue, about to remind him, but saw that Zhong Yue had already opened his eyes and pushed the car door.

“That kind of useless person—if he dies, it’s helping your Qi family clean house. If you won’t thank me, at least don’t act like this. This is a life-or-death situation. You should stay calm so I don’t take advantage.” Xiang Yu said coolly.

“This is the one who killed Qian Mai. Now I’ve brought him to you. Do with him as you wish,” Qi Lie said with a smile.

“Could it be that Liu Yu and Wang Hong’s Jiangzhou army has arrived? If so late, perhaps Liu Yu has figured out a way to counter the Jingzhou army’s heavy infantry?” Wei Jie suppressed his delight, unable to help speculating.

As long as Qi Xuan was treated as a hostage, Xiang Yu could make them do anything he wanted.

“Good, that’s wonderful. Aunt Tong is back, Mom is back too. Uncle, aren’t you happy?” Yuhao clapped and jumped with excitement, noticing Lin Yinan’s somber face and asking with confusion.

Wei Jie’s attitude was unusually firm, making Duanmu He realize that Wei Jie must have already decided how to deal with him. Seeing further discussion was pointless, Duanmu He turned and left in silence.

On the Continent of the Gods, at the headquarters of the Heavenly Alliance, a great altar shone with dazzling light. Suddenly, a giant eye opened, radiating a brilliance as awe-inspiring as the sun.

“Why don’t you tell your husband you’re sick?” Sister Li asked curiously, observing her behavior. Most people would take the opportunity to act spoiled with their husbands.

The exotic fragrance had faded, the enchantment was gone, and Fu Yue felt relief wash over her. She suddenly embraced Jin Kui.

If the soldiers were to engage in battle, the so-called fifty thousand troops of Grand Teacher Wen would not be enough. The Nine Si Cavalry alone, numbering ten thousand, could cut through to Chaoge. But Shi Hui dared not relax—Grand Teacher Wen and his generals possessed extraordinary abilities and would not be easy to overcome.

The water was just right. There was no city clamor, no urban troubles, as if all mundane worries had been cast to the winds. In the private hot spring pool, clear waves rippled as the two bathed together, instinctively engaging in a special and exhilarating hot spring encounter.

—Indeed, how had they not thought of it? If only they had bought more to take home, offering them to elders in the Golden Core stage, surely they would win favor and earn more benefits. Surely the elders would not let them suffer any loss, and might even reward them handsomely.

All grievances, all love and hate, gathered in an instant before the eyes, then shattered just as quickly, as if it all happened in a fleeting moment.

Whenever she thought of Ah Kai being with Meng Yahui, Xie Yifei could not control her rage.

Beneath the city’s night, only the neon lights shone. The neon covered the true color of the night sky.

Zhou Zekai noticed that ever since these children were rescued, for some reason, they were reluctant to venture outside. Perhaps the raging scandal at Hui’an Net Academy made them uneasy.
