A thunderous rumble shook the earth within Fan Maple Valley. Dozens of white beams of light shot up from the ground, as if an unstoppable force beneath the earth was about to break through the surface.

Her eyebrows were high and arched, her nose prominent; though her expression was as cold and icy as frost, she somehow radiated a passionate warmth.

Though Schwartz felt displeased inwardly, as a true gentleman and a noble musician, he did not storm off in anger. Instead, he smiled politely and took his seat.

The flight path of the blue bird was not straight but zigzagged erratically, making the yellow dragon following behind resemble a golden dragon frolicking in a sea of ochre waves.

Examiner: "Hmm, you have passed the test. We in the Urban Management Department need talents like you," the examiner said with a smile, clearly pleased with the candidate’s theoretical knowledge. "You are hereby hired and will begin law enforcement duties immediately. But I have one more question: what if trouble arises and you offend someone you cannot afford to?"

Though Mu Hao spoke little, his words deeply shocked Fernando and the white-haired elder. Even with little understanding, Fernando knew that immunity to toxins was an extraordinary and almost divine ability.

Liu Xin and Wenwen narrated the scenes to Qin Wanru, each taking turns to describe the events.

Sao remained indifferent, only noticing that the two’s auras and voices seemed significantly dimmer.

The head is both the hardest and most fragile part of the human body; exposed to an opponent’s attack, the tide of advantage could shift in an instant.

Ren Yingying’s lips curved into a faint smile. This young disciple of the Mount Hua Sect was entirely different from the usual righteous types she had met—quite intriguing.

The first time she received a complaint call from the kindergarten, her large belly made her feel helpless and unsure what to do, so she casually mentioned Mu Yu’s mischief to Kaiyang during the journey.

Nanny Xu, meanwhile, tidied up Yingchun’s room with several maidservants, clearing out her belongings—discarding some and cataloging others as necessary.

The salty sea stretched endlessly. Though a vast inland lake, it was still called a “sea.” Hong Jun and his group set out once more, traveling westward along the coastline before turning southwest. Though Li Jinglong was absent, Qiu Yongsi accompanied the team to ensure Hong Jun and Lu Xu could consult someone should an emergency arise.

She constantly recalled the Empress Dowager’s instructions and Ning Ning’s hatred.

Yan Jiu’s face was grave, truly at a loss for how to resolve the matter. It seemed the only option was to promptly report to the matriarch. This was a major event; even if Princess Xiao Yang did not come personally, the people around her were highly respectable and could not be slighted.

Ye Zifeng observed Old Li’s features closely. His face was sallow and dry like a withered tree, with a solitary wrinkle entering his mouth, red pupils and eyes. Such an appearance foretold imminent danger, raising Ye Zifeng’s alarm.

Following instructions, Lin Yuhao searched the right pocket of Lan Chi Xuan’s garment and produced a golden rose medal about 30 centimeters in diameter, presenting it to the group.

Earlier, Lin Shuihan saw him motionless and assumed he was casting a spell to activate the Du Sheng Mirror, so she hurriedly flew to Ran Island on her sword. Oddly, upon entry, she suddenly felt a barrier, like a gust of wind passing through her body before vanishing.

Late at night, beneath a bright moon and stars, Gu Minran tossed restlessly in bed. The absence of the boy who used to hold him felt like missing a warm hearth in the cold night, a discomfort he was unaccustomed to.

Huang Zhen rushed forward, launching a double-sword thrust that intercepted He Mao’s mad strike. The swordlight dazzled, yet Huang Zhen was pushed back a yard.

“She told me early on, but she just happened to be held up and arrived late,” An Nan explained.

After a day’s hesitation, Huo Qingrang could no longer resist calling Ye Lingxi. He expected she might not answer, but to his surprise, she picked up.

The hunter heard the shout and immediately stopped. After wavering, he left in anger, disappearing into the forest in the blink of an eye. Seeing this, Shen Zhui smiled awkwardly and departed as well.

When they returned, Si Xinyao held throat lozenges, hesitating before stepping up to Shen Guangnian, whose face was flushed from coughing, and summoning courage to approach him.

Bright fireworks soared high against the night sky, scattering brief bursts of brilliance under the countless stars.

The Lian family guarded the town gate of Baina Town. Every fifty years, a new head of the family was elected to subdue demons and protect peace.

Li Tian had already been terrified out of his wits. Seeing his mother retreat, he cried out, “Mother, save me! Mother, save me!” tugging at her clothes with his one arm.

“It’s alright. No matter how beastly someone is, I doubt they’re worse than President Lu,” Ye Lingxi said, determined not to be intimidated by Lu Jingxing again.

After all, Ni’s Beiming Divine Skill Gold and Purple-Eyed Fire both rely on powerful true energy to unleash their fiercest force.

The good guy Kamijou Touma walked out with a sullen face. Little did he know that in three seconds, he would encounter a fateful meeting that would awaken the hidden loli-loving spirit dormant deep within his body.

Xiao Ke’s voice grew increasingly urgent, apparently believing Su Lun’s words to be a final testament.

If the Shark King could be killed so easily, it could not be considered a creature rivaling the lower Saint level. Suddenly, it went berserk, thrashing wildly. Each movement sent out waves of frequency that made Wei Yang extremely uncomfortable.

This passage contained little substance. Yet within these few words, Jin Xie Xuan and Ling Yun both sized each other up. Their eyes flickered before smiling calmly, gazing steadily.

A gentle spring breeze carried a faint floral fragrance. Without realizing it, more people gathered in the courtyard. Casually, Nangong Qiuyue looked at me with puzzlement, then glanced at Chunyu, sympathy shining in his gaze.

Seeing Feng Qi still unconscious with a pale face, Xi Songzi’s expression turned grim. He forced a greeting: “Sect Master Mu, your sect won a great victory this duel. I have no face to reclaim that traitor. As for that Elite Skill Crystal, it rightfully belongs to your sect!” After these stiff words, Xi Songzi turned to leave.

“I dare not imagine what you will become after some time,” Master Zhang said slowly, each word hammering into Tang Chuan’s heart.

That drifting white soul gained freedom and swiftly darted back into He Yongqiang’s body.

“Uh... that’s true. Early energy accumulation is tough. But don’t worry, I’ll start teaching you how to train your spiritual essence. When you officially embark on self-evolution, you won’t have to suffer like this anymore,” Noah, the renamed silver orb, comforted him.
