Volume 1, Chapter 48: I Do Not Require the Heir to Take Responsibility

In a standard horse race, the rider's skill, strategy, and body weight are among the factors that influence the outcome. However, in a cultivator's horse race, riders must rely on entirely different means to sway the competition.

Was it that same earthen burrow that, just as the turncoat galloped past, suddenly reached out several invisible and mystical hooks to drag her body down?

Before Demigod Xister could finish speaking, Leon coldly cut her off. Instantly activating his Apparition, his figure vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only a slowly dissipating afterimage in his original spot.

Hearing this sound, she instinctively reached into her pocket—it was empty. Her pet snake was nowhere to be found.

After much deliberation, Xu Wan decided she needed to track down this physician named Linyou and stop him from treating the Prime Minister. As for whether the Prime Minister lived or died, that was a matter for another day; she could always find another way, but she could not allow the Prime Minister to commit such a heinous and beastly act again.

Hyman also noticed that on the other side, the members of the Dark Moon had arrived as well, seemingly getting there even earlier than he had. Farv caught sight of him too. The two exchanged a glance without speaking, each turning their gaze back toward the distant combat zone.

Then Ling Changxi took the elevator to the top floor, where Assistant Liao was already waiting by the elevator doors.

This remark stemmed from her genuine sentiment—after all, they were both individuals associated with birds. But to the listener, it probably sounded more like a veiled reference to the concept of fierce beasts.

He took a deep breath, intending to say something, but seeing the young woman standing so close to him now—close enough that he could even catch her unique, refreshing scent—he suddenly shook his head.

At that moment, Jian Dan entered a courtyard house featuring a hand-operated water well in the courtyard.

Opposite her sat a middle-aged man wearing glasses, looking very much like an intellectual, with a black tote bag placed in the exact same position as hers.

The avatar gazed at Yi Feng, who was deep in cultivation, a smile touching the corner of its mouth. It picked up a pickaxe and swung it fiercely against the stone wall.

Chen Ying maintained his demonic domain as if tireless, while Yi Feng remained at a deadlock with him, consuming pills for restoring spiritual energy like they were mere beans, popping them into his mouth one after another.

"Xuanyue pays her respects to Grand Uncles Lanxin, Lanlan, and Lanxi." The voice of the Moon Goddess Xuanyue sounded beside Ye Meng, having stayed close to him all along.

That said, it is much easier said than done. How many college student couples can truly remain steadfast from beginning to end and bring their romance to fruition?

They gave their lives for the glory of their hometown, and everyone will forever remember their contributions; through countless generations and ages to come, they will never be forgotten.

She had no idea what had possessed her to agree to such an unreasonable demand. Even though it was just a brief, shallow touch before parting, it had ultimately left her with a vulnerability.

This kick was delivered by Mo Xiaosheng. Although Mo Xiaosheng dislocated the left ankle of the slippery rogue in the process, the rogue managed to dodge the bullet fired by Ah Wang, thus sparing his life.

Therefore, everyone was not lacking in energy replenishment, but finding such high-purity energy was no easy feat.

Most importantly, it was about money. Whether it was Pandora Online or Li Zhi himself, they were short on cash, and a vast amount of capital was required for many endeavors.

Yet, his power extended far beyond this. With a faint smile, right as his voice trailed off, his arm vibrated violently once more, sending forth a powerful shockwave.

Wang Qing violently shook her off and raised his hand to slap her, but upon meeting her stubborn gaze, he could never bring himself to let it land.

Yan Yi knew that since Si Lvheng had said that, it meant he had already forgiven him. Moreover, his subsequent words came straight from the heart; that time Si Lvheng struck him, it had been the right course of action.

Rong Rong, who had been full of herself just a moment ago, stood dumbfounded watching Youluo defeated without a fight. Coming to her senses and cursing Youluo as a "useless thing," she hurriedly fled down the mountain.

He originally intended to investigate why the European table tennis scene in this world was so formidable, but before his fingertip could touch the screen, he suddenly paused.

Shaking her head—perhaps she was just overthinking things—Liunian then extended her hand and linked her arm through Si Lvheng's.

The two of them seemed to share such an uncanny synergy that even when speaking again after a period of silence, they did so in perfect synchronization.

Because Su Bo was a student, Xu Min always chose to call him at fixed times, and most of the time, they communicated via WeChat.

Prompted by He Zheng's retirement declaration, Su Zhuo finally realized that he could not, and should not, pin everything on the "world" and external factors.

He paced with athletic strides, walking closer step by step. Then, Li Yi leaned casually against the edge of the table, casting his usual stern, sidelong glance at me. Overwhelmed with anxiety, I could only lower my head and try my best to conceal my emotions.

As the clock struck six and dusk deepened, luxury car after luxury car drove into the campus parking lot for this grand and lavish gala.

Everyone present grew tense once more, but this time the werewolf elder seemed to have judged correctly: those at level 10 and below could enter safely, but anyone above level 10 who entered the great vortex would suffer a violent backlash.

Just as Qiu Hanxi knocked the driver unconscious, Ah An opened the car door, moved the driver to the front passenger seat, and took over the driver's seat himself.

With that thought, she glided like a sudden gust of wind behind the man in white, grabbed his neck, and yanked him backward with such force that they both slammed against the corner of the wall.

He ran out without a moment's hesitation, clutching his aching heart as he hailed a taxi, not forgetting to send his live location to Fei Yan.

Kong Youde did not reply to his personal guard. He lowered his food container, unhooked the telescope from his waist, and carefully observed the scene.

This plan had been implemented many times before, but every attempt had ended in failure. The expedition teams that entered the zombie kingdom had all perished without a single survivor, including one eleventh-rank general, one tenth-rank general, nine ninth-rank elite commanders, and countless seasoned warriors.

"She's my friend. Let go of her right now," Hao Shuai commanded with a stern and furious expression.

Upon hearing such an absurd imperial edict, everyone present dropped their jaws in utter astonishment. What was going on here? Why would this happen? Had the city of Guangzong not already been captured?

Gripping his shoulders tightly and inhaling the grassy scent that clung to him, Fei Yan buried his face in the crook of his neck and drew in a deep breath. His voice was laced with deeply restrained emotion, the sensation of regaining what was lost flooding his entire heart.
