Volume One, Chapter 21: An Unexpected Encounter with an Enemy

The primary reason for his arrival at Nine Lakes Mountain was not to draw out Chu Qingge—that was merely incidental. His true objective was to utilize the natural energy of the landscape to set up an array and complete the third transformation of his Innate Body.

"I am hungry," the man said. Without waiting for Pei Qingqing to react, he strode forward and swept her up into his arms.

With a grab of his large hand, the void cracked open, and twelve streams of light poured forth, radiating vast, boundless power. Each was comparable to a Celestial Emperor, giving off the impression of inexhaustible energy.

Watching the unconscious Pei Qingqing, Zhao Xueying viciously raked a claw across her face, leaving a red mark near her ear and jaw, stopping just short of drawing blood.

In reality, with Ye Yu utilizing his first-tier brain capacity in tandem with his mystical skills, he was not much weaker than the enfeebled Bai Qi. The only difference between them was Bai Qi’s wealth of combat experience and his inhumanly sharp mind.

Zhao Xuefu seemed momentarily stunned by Huo Xiaoya’s ferocity, and then her gaze deepened.

Li Yuanming knew deep down that his mother wanted to mention that Wan’er was carrying the Li family’s bloodline. However, thinking of how dishonorable that would be for Shen Wan’er, she suppressed the thought and left it unsaid.

The King of Chu unleashed the Mountain-Shaking Fist, manifesting a massive shadow of a fist before him. A tyrannical pressure rolled downward; even from a hundred yards away, the onlookers felt their skin sting, as if they were bearing a weight of ten thousand tons.

Ye Yu’s combat style relied entirely on the fighting instincts granted by the liberation of his brain capacity. Before entering the Samsara world, he was just an ordinary college student; though he had occasionally gotten into fistfights, he had never experienced life-and-death struggles like this, let alone against a terrifying creature like a Xenomorph.

Upon hearing this, the Persian man stopped, turned around, and displayed his bare back to Xia Xue, striking a few poses.

On the fourth day, Bai Mozhi began the morning court session, but he had no heart for state affairs. His mind was solely occupied by Tangtang’s illness, which had flared up following the two hours she had spent soaking in the cold water of the Hua Pool on their wedding day.

Although Yun Yin had spent her years before the age of eight in the countryside, after being brought back to the Lin estate, the close ties between the Lin and Su families allowed her to see Su Shitao frequently. They grew close over time, essentially childhood sweethearts.

The weather was clear and the sky was filled with white clouds. Li Maicheng, Zhou Xiaotian, and Chu Xiangnan rode the clouds and mist, flying over mountains, fields, and rivers, finally arriving at the foot of Mount Chiyan.

They ate at the mutton soup shop, and after finishing, Lin Youxue and Lin Feiting took their leave, while Li Maicheng, Bai Ruoxue, and the others returned to the Yanmo Inn.

In that case, I must find a way to marry her—or no, marriage isn't strictly necessary; I can trick her into bed first, and take responsibility later.

Ignoring how Luo He addressed him, Heng Lianshan was astonished by Luo He’s four-element primordial energy, muttering to himself incessantly.

Su Chengxuan used his Azure Dragon Sword to strike the Firefly Spirit that had fallen to the ground, killing it after a few blows.

After finishing their Western-style meal, Jiang Lan led Li Zongyu and Edward to begin setting up a surveillance network.

With a piercing strike, Su Chengxuan rushed over with his Azure Dragon Sword and impaled the Peacock Spirit. She collapsed to the ground, vomiting blood, and after a few final struggles, she died. Li Maicheng quickly searched her body and found the Lian Family Jade. After verifying it was genuine, he tucked it into his clothes.

The thought of such a beauty being ravished by his own hands turned his carnal desire into boiling blood.

There were two cameras in the car, capable of panoramic recording of the two individuals' states. The signal was transmitted to a command vehicle, where the director could watch their performance on a large screen. If the director had any comments, they could speak, and the two in the car could hear them through their earpieces.

The old man nodded and asked, his voice ancient, his eyes never leaving the mountain peak.

Jiang Anyong dared not neglect his older brother’s wedding, and under orders, he assembled a grand bridal procession. The journey from Huiye Prefecture to the Li family in Renzhou would take over ten days. Jiang Anyi had originally wanted his younger brother to visit home to explain everything to their mother and Dong’er, but now he had to write a letter and send it via courier.

As he spoke, he opened his left hand to reveal a shattered jade coin. "I cast a divination when I arrived, and the divination coin shattered." The two men gasped in shock.

However, Cheng Gang had finally managed to see Qin Ming; how could he let him go so easily? Furthermore, he believed Qin Ming’s refusal was merely due to his concerns over the conditions he had proposed, not out of any deep-seated mistrust.

"Master Huang, Master Liu, Master Wang, you guys came to have some fun too?" Yu Qingle rose to greet them.

If this was the case, Chen Lin was either truly insane or possessed immense confidence that he could actually spin the number four on the roulette wheel.

Chen Lin didn't care about her transferring schools; what he cared about was that she hadn't said a single word to him about such a major event.

When Shan Ji said this, a look of shame finally appeared on his face, making Qi Hao feel a headache coming on.

Xie Jingchang’s body trembled uncontrollably. Although he had not yet figured out the ins and outs of the situation, he had a vague premonition that his schemes had been seen through, and that others had made corresponding arrangements.
