Pakistan, Karachi Base.
“We’re back!”
The group returning from Kenya strode lightly into the base that was most familiar to them.
Karachi was practically their permanent station; they spent half the year here, as its location was crucial—close to both the Middle East and the Persian Gulf, making travel everywhere convenient.
“Barbecue tonight?”
Wang Xu patted the large suitcase at his feet, filled with local specialties and ingredients brought back from Kenya.
Ever since Young Master Cheng and his entourage visited Shengjia Village, she had learned that the troublesome middle-aged man in town was from the Cheng family, and the skewers he bought were meant for Young Master Cheng to taste.
The man’s metal mask pressed tightly against her skin, spreading a chill that made her shiver uncontrollably.
Suddenly, as if sensing something amiss, he glanced in her direction. Upon seeing her, a trace of discomfort flashed across his face. He seemed to avoid her gaze, and spoke hurriedly into the phone, “Alright, that’s enough.” With that, he ended the call abruptly.
Lin Sanchuan sat aside and couldn’t help recalling Dong Ping’s words when they left earlier today, urging him to seize any chance to display his exceptional talent. At first, he paid little heed, but unexpectedly, opportunity had come knocking.

Shen Xingzhi furrowed his sword-like brows, said nothing more, and sealed her slender hand with a kiss.
Qiye was suddenly tongue-tied, watching as Liyui slipped into the water, towel and all. Qiye’s heart surged with excitement.
It was the first time she had fallen for a mortal, and a wave of longing to be with him forever welled up inside her! She wanted to bear countless little fox cubs for him, to always be together, until… he grew old.
The first half of her words was fine, but the latter half made Han Lin’s face darken instantly. He nearly forgot how much Bei Lili had adored Fan Xulun back then, plastering his posters all over her walls.
Wang Xiucheng stared in disbelief as Yi Buza suddenly opened his eyes and attacked him with an iron ruler. In his panic, he barely managed to defend himself. The clash of weapons rang out, crisp and melodious.
Ji Xue’er landed on the ice, her left arm limp at her side, while her right hand slowly conjured an ice sword.
Master Yin was startled, suddenly realizing he could see through the door into the room within.
Xia Nuan gently set her water cup aside, glanced at Gu Jinhan, then at the dim room surrounding them.
Xu Xixi truly feared the judge would write a judicial recommendation to the lawyers’ association, accusing Fu Lichen. If Fu Lichen were punished for her ignorance and stubbornness, she would be wracked with guilt.
And with Xu Fu, though he had yet to reveal his power, Qin Wuming believed that anyone who could control two Japanese deities must possess even greater abilities.
He kept his eyes open, the corners of his mouth curling up into a mysterious, rigid smile. The happiness on his face seemed oddly out of place, as if its source was unknown, making his expression unsettling.

“What? I’ve already taken off my pants and you show me this?” Yi Mengmeng stared in disbelief, clenching her squeaky fists.
The two trembled as Nana grew angry, dropping to their knees with a thud, faces twisted in panic as they pleaded.
On the journey over mountains and valleys, they might encounter roads without guardrails, with a cliff on one side and the mountain on the other, all shrouded in dense fog.
As she muttered more to herself, she grumbled, “You won’t let me look, but I insist on looking. Once I see it, I get upset and overthink. Truly, I must be sick.”
Sensing the darkening expression on Wenren Jue’s face, Weiduan, highly emotional, prepared to switch topics—or perhaps return to the previous one.
“This…” Yang Peijun looked at Ling Shaoxuan’s stern, imposing face and unconsciously nodded in agreement.
She was determined to find out why Qin Mengxue was acting so out of character today, going so far as to embarrass her just to keep her from following.
