Chapter 22
At this moment, in Long Yanhua’s eyes, no matter how talented the sons of the Long family were, none could compare to Second Brother’s words. To summarize the world’s affairs in just a few sentences demonstrated a magnanimity that marked Long Xiaocheng as an outstanding military and political talent. Perhaps the future rise of the Long family would depend on him.
A robust fighting power coalesced around a golden dragon-engraved long sword that was drawn in an instant. His figure vanished from the spot, reappearing in midair beside Lin Yiyun in the blink of an eye.
This bathing room was specially designed for washing. Beneath the enormous oak tub, there was a water pipe connected to hot water, continuously heated from outside, ensuring the water inside remained at a comfortable temperature—neither hot nor cold.
Thus, Weiwei and the others spent more than ten peaceful days in this way. Occasionally, Xiu Yi and White Cat would go out to gather information. Aside from eating, Weiwei spent most of her time in bed. The two simply assumed she was cultivating and did not disturb her.
Then it was up to us to harvest these fragile mages who lacked magical shields—naturally, this posed no problem.
Speaking of the art of stone appraisal, it was akin to gambling, even more thrilling. After all, Gu Hao was just a novice; he had consecutively searched three or four raw stones but had not cut out anything of value.
“The boss is worthy of his title. It seems you planned all this long ago! The spiritual energy here is so dense, yet it has no effect on me!” Judah muttered listlessly, sensing the primeval energy of the ancient realm.
“Hmph! I just wanted to scare you to death! You’ve been out so long—what have you been up to? Any mischief?” Liu Lan glared, pouting at Fusheng’s angry demeanor.
After slashing once, the Flame Dragon surged forward, its body suddenly shimmering with dazzling golden radiance. Only at this moment did it employ the Glazed Golden Body technique. Invisible fierce energy clung tightly to the golden form. At this moment, the Flame Dragon was like a wild beast unleashed, its fierce and violent aura soaring sharply.
However, the moment Chen Fei stepped onto the dragon’s body, all the piercing golden light was absorbed by Chen Fei’s body. Several meters away from him, there was no trace of sword energy; as soon as one approached within that range, the sword energy vanished.

“The clothes made for you have arrived,” Qin Xu said, motioning for Qingya to bring the person in.
All five Galen ships moved; this was the real deal. The generals immediately rallied their spirits, simultaneously acknowledging orders and preparing.
When he apprenticed, the grandmaster surely saw many problems, yet still accepted him and taught him the great Dao.
Li Yu, accompanied by Long Zuo Zuo and the brothers Li Bohai and Li Zhongxuan, returned to the Western Market Office.
Although Changsheng agreed with Yun Zhongzi’s viewpoint, he still did not want their children to focus solely on cultivation.
Many players also knew that Master Huang never gave a full explanation of the Demon Sect, but later observations of Master Huang’s martial arts, the two main Demon Sect factions, the six paths’ styles, political stances, and martial characteristics all related to this origin. This also offered a glimpse of their roots among the pre-Qin Hundred Schools.
At this moment, Danica realized matters were neither as bad nor as good as she had imagined. Even with such a large market share, trying to influence the beast tribe’s politics through it was still overly ambitious.
Sang Miao’s gaze could have pierced a hundred holes in Bai Jingxian; the slight murderous intent in her eyes made Bai Jingxian shiver uncontrollably.
People valued their dignity, and the prince was no exception—he cared about his reputation. He could not endure the pointing fingers and scorn. If they spat on him and spoke of karma, how could he possibly continue living like this?
Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King was about to get angry, but at that moment, the stone door of the Banana Leaf Cave opened, and Princess Iron Fan stepped out.

“...” It was Cheng Xia’s turn to suffer internal injury from holding back. Just as she was about to curse, she turned her head but had no chance to utter a single swear word before being overwhelmed by a domineering kiss that left her bewildered, her mind ceasing to function.
She did not know whether it was a dream or reality, but the warmth was so genuine. She grasped his palm, holding that familiar warmth tightly in her hand, finally feeling at ease. It truly was him.
But now, whenever Li Luoluo saw him, she was reminded of Li Wenyan’s authoritarian control over her and cast a resentful glance at Tang Baobao. “I’m not eating it. The sweetness belongs to your whole family. I’m just a prop here! Hmph...” Li Luoluo’s words were sour, clearly showing her discontent.
As for Leng Wuchen, he was indeed a handsome man, but compared to the Third and Fifth Princes earlier, he still fell short. Moreover, he gave off a sinister vibe; a hint of cruelty lingered in his brows and eyes. It was hard to understand why Ling Yuwei had been so infatuated with him.
Regarding ordinary people, Chang Le’s army had been too preoccupied recently to consider expansion. The weather was gradually cooling, so they had to wait until the new base was established before contemplating the next steps; otherwise, there would be nowhere to settle the newcomers.
“Lianyi.” Liufan gazed at her smiling face with tenderness. When their eyes met, Luo Lianyi felt her heart flutter, her eyes brimming with affection.
Li Wenyan laughed and scratched his head. Seeing Daddy finally smile, Baobao was overjoyed and couldn’t stop grinning.
“Wei’er, was it really you who beat them so badly?” Ling Xiaotian still found it hard to believe that Ling Yuwei had injured Shen Birou and Ling Yufei. She had been foolish and docile for so many years and had never seemed violent before.
