Now that Zhao Bao had taken out the Immortal Sand blazing with purple radiance, Xu Tiancai and Wu Di’s expressions began to change.

“Hmm, I’ll let you have Uncle for the time being.” Watching Tingting, Ye Zi spoke silently. At the same time, however, she tightened her grip around Ning Fan’s arm and leaned against him even more intimately.

No wonder that big fellow had looked so pained just now. He clearly knew how precious this pill was. The thought of giving the man a harsh lesson vanished without a trace. If it had been her own pill, she might have acted even worse.

Zhang Shun considered the matter. His mother was getting on in years, and the journey to Liangshan would be rough and arduous. She might easily fall ill along the way. If the divine physician An Daoquan accompanied them, she would be safe from harm.

“Two Immortal Masters, His Majesty is still waiting in the palace. Come with me!” Qin Qiong clasped his fists toward Sun Li and Sun Wukong once more, then extended an inviting hand.

“Don’t you want me to go back?” There was a trace of unease in Zhao Qingxue’s voice, as well as a hint of disappointment.

Uncle Fu led Zhao Bao and the others in laboriously casting the secret art of Moving Mountains and Overturning Seas, narrowly evading another deadly strike from the Mountain-and-River Jade Seal.

He Xin’s gaze instead held a little more composure. She turned to glance at Li Yan and revealed a faint smile.

But as an old hand, Ding Dahai knew perfectly well that Gu Fan had started from a far higher point than everyone else.

“Since Long Zhan intends to fight personally, we only need to cheer him on from the sidelines!” Sun Wukong laughed. He had already seen through the cultivation of the black dragon fighting Long Zhan. It was at the World Commander level, on par with Long Zhan’s own cultivation, and Long Zhan would have no difficulty dealing with it.

He had lost his temper, which was why he had publicly cursed Ye Jinglan in the crowded lobby of the hotel.

Their wager was simply that if Zhang Ce could cut a piece of fine jade with good water quality from one of the uncut stones in his own shop—something better than any single piece in Liang Long’s possession—he would win. They had never said that he had to cut open every uncut stone in the shop.

Liu Yong impatiently waved at Gou Tousheng, who was speaking with great enthusiasm and smiling obsequiously, signaling that he could shut up. He then spoke to Gou Tousheng with evident impatience.

Chu Feng hesitated. He had never looked after a child before, let alone a “ghost child” like this one. But when he saw Ruru’s pitiful expression, he still could not help nodding.

“What do you think about the fact that, at certain times, we seem to feel as though we are being controlled?” Xia Mengyou had actually asked such a question.

In the second layer of the Other-Soul Abyss, apart from the wind that had always blown there, all that could be heard was the enormous, rhythmic pounding—boom, boom, boom! It was truly like a vicious ghost knocking at the door, evoking the terrifying fantasies of childhood, which had somehow become reality that day.

“With you here, how could we possibly lose?” The princess’s eyes were limpid as autumn waters. She tilted her head and rubbed it against his shoulder, narrowing her eyes as she murmured in adoration.

Yet Beitang Chong’er did not dare tell Han Yueqiao her suspicions. Han Yueqiao currently knew only that Xuanxuan had made so many sacrifices for her; she did not know that the so-called Xuanxuan was actually Beitang Yexuan.

The poison they had administered contained microorganisms whose effects were linked to a person’s level of excitement. Think about it: they had been throwing a party, so it was inevitable that everyone would be highly stimulated. They drank, chatted, and gradually became more and more excited. Once their excitement reached a certain level, they fell unconscious and died without making a sound.

But even now, had she not received any news? If this Medicine Immortal could truly develop an antidote to the poison, she would finally be at ease. By then, forget cooperation—even if the woman asked her to take the life of this Imperial Uncle, she would gladly do it.

Li Yingjun finished saying the most crucial part in a single breath. Zhang Jiahe’s reaction was exactly what he had expected: fury, disappointment, anxiety—and a complete jumble of words.

Although the Golden Ginseng King was extremely arrogant, Jing Tang did not take it seriously at all. Instead, he burst out laughing.

“…” You shout in the game that you do not want to fight, and you think you are playing a dance game?

“Xiao Jue, you went back? Have you finished your placement matches?” Seeing Xiao Jue leave, Sun Fei raised his brows and asked with concern.

Taking advantage of the smoke, the assault platoon under Li Dazhong rolled back into the trench and resumed fighting the Japanese.

After listening to him, Old Master Su staggered backward three steps. His eyes rolled white with rage, and he nearly pitched headfirst to the ground. Fortunately, the steward behind him caught him in time. Thus, the supreme expert at the peak of the Great Perfection Realm was spared the humiliation—and injury—of falling flat on the floor. Otherwise, if word got out, the Su family would once again become famous throughout the land.

Yang Lan was currently hiding beneath a large tree behind an immortal mountain. Holding a flower in her hand, she counted its petals while her eyes darted about, searching for a way to shake off the omnipresent surveillance team.

After seeing all the bandits dead, Jing Tang did not feel happy. Instead, a look of worry appeared on his face. Among the dead bandits, there had not been a single Martial Commander-level expert. Otherwise, given the strength of such an expert, he would certainly have charged out to fight Jing Tang and might even have sent a signal for reinforcements.

But if the inner core were removed, the demon race member—who had originally transformed into human form—would instantly reveal its true shape. It would also lose the ability to speak human language.

Watching the islanders leave, Lin Feng did not pursue them. Although he very much wanted to kill Yamamoto Hikaru, the old man’s strength was extraordinary. If Lin Feng had been alone, he could have fought with everything he had. But while also protecting Lu Qingyou, he could never defeat the old man.

Dao Mu summoned the kitchen staff to prepare a thousand servings of food while he ate breakfast. Under Xiao Jingjing’s strange gaze, he remained expressionless as he stored them in the Feather Ring.

That day, two riders arrived outside Fengyang City. Before they even reached the city gates, soldiers stopped them; it was obvious at a glance that they were enemy troops. Strangely enough, Fengyang City was usually bustling with activity, but that day it was like a forbidden city, with very few people entering or leaving.

“Fall back—fall back first!” Nan Xiang shouted to the others. The yellow smoke behind him grew denser, surging forward in a vast, billowing mass.

Since the game’s quest design contained a flaw, criticizing Mengquan, its designer, would be pointless. Chen Bujian would never blindly berate a system without self-awareness, because that would do nothing to solve the problem.

“Are you all right?” That was what she had said to Jian Xi, not what she should have said to me, was it? Li Jing’er looked at Jack in confusion, her eyes raised. She pouted, deeply dissatisfied, yet had no way to alter the misunderstanding others had about her.

“What did all of you make me eat?” Dao Mu looked at the dozens of bottles of restorative medicine scattered across the floor. He had been forced to swallow several bottles, while the rest had all been fed to A-Meng.

Apart from villages like Mu Family Village, whose people traveled far from home to earn money, there were many others that had begun casting covetous eyes on neighboring villages. Covert acts of plunder increased, and people’s livelihoods began to grow unstable.
