Volume One, Chapter 22: The Eldest Miss Gu Returns
“I’ll do it, I’ll do it!” Gu Xianglin dashed out of the room and snatched the stone hammer from the siblings. “This little task is perfect for me. Before my sister got married, she often made bracken root noodles at home. I always helped out back then, so finally, I get a chance to make them myself!”
Ah, perhaps it was because she was a failure without the skills of a master. Clinging to her dreams under harsh conditions, only to be forced to self-censor due to political reasons—how could Li Cai not be frustrated! She deeply doubted her own abilities, and a wave of inferiority washed over her.
Speaking of the Sea of Consciousness, Fang Jin still felt chills run down her spine whenever she recalled it; it was undoubtedly the most harrowing experience she had endured in a long time.
The arrangement itself was not unreasonable, for reaching the peak Nascent Soul stage was equivalent to being a core disciple of the great sects, and should have been sufficient to handle ordinary emergencies.
A colossal ice dragon unleashed a terrifying roar as it appeared on the horizon. With a flick of the staff, it directly attacked Gale.
“Alright, I know,” Ji Pinghe interjected; if he hadn’t stopped Li Cai, she would have babbled on for several more minutes.
While the teams complained loudly, a shout of reprimand suddenly came from the very back of the group.
The power of the dragon stirred restlessly, forming five whirlpools that circled around them, awakening those nearby.
Death itself was not frightening—most died without feeling pain—but witnessing such a brutally violent demise was truly harrowing.
He paused before saying, “I don’t know what happened.” Without specialized scanning equipment, no one would have known that Li Cai was carrying a tracker.
That tasteless, faintly earthy water really seemed like a joke played on her.
“Get out of my way,” Xia Zixi said coldly. She crushed a brown crystal in her hand, then struck her sword against Xiang Yang’s long blade.
At that moment, Mo Wuying had already surged out of the sea. Seeing the situation, he was shocked and quickly shouted, “Young master, please show mercy!” He immediately maneuvered his flying sword to block the golden sword.
This technique had fallen into the hands of the Demon Mutation Sect centuries ago under certain circumstances. Possessing such a heavenly-grade skill, the sect was overjoyed. However, this technique was specially created for ghost cultivators and suited only their unique physiology; living humans could not use it at all.
The three major groups could easily ignore the novice Three Lives Fireworks, but they would never overlook the well-established Gong Ge Wang.
Meanwhile, rumors spread rapidly online, with many speculating about the relationship between Yi Shi Mi Li and Three Lives Fireworks.
Sola the Third said, “Guess whether I will use one treasure or two.” The Destiny King’s Sword in his hand returned to the maze and vanished.
“Everyone’s inside, what’s going on?” Zhao Ya leaned against him effortlessly, her sash slipping down her shoulder as if rehearsed countless times.
Looking back into the eggshell, Xiu Xiu and Sui Yue had returned. Li Ran, Liu Mingxiang, Chu Yue, Yi Xuan, and several others were all present. At the very back, Li Yunjing and Yu Gu lay on a straw mat, their bellies swollen—no doubt they were about to give birth soon.
In order to reclaim the Demon Emperor’s Eye, the demon tribe launched a massive assault on the Haotian Realm. However, due to their cruel, violent, and bloodthirsty nature, they provoked the desperate resistance of all cultivators, demons, and barbarians within Haotian.
The transformation of the Flower Scale Poisonous Python continued. Shang Jingsing even saw its four venomous fangs grow longer and thicker, and its gums sprouted a dense row of sharp teeth—teeth that no snake should possess, more like those of a fierce beast.
At that moment, on both sides of the passage appeared sudden bursts of flames. The lights on either side seemed to ignite automatically, instantly illuminating the entire area with a brilliant glow.
