The above was Shen Lun’s conjecture, and it was very close to the truth. It had not been difficult to deduce all this. Shen Lun had simply failed to think of it before; all that was missing was Su Qingyun’s small but crucial contribution. That final touch had brought together many scattered clues.
With the assistance of the world consciousness, Su Qingyun could sense any living creature within ten thousand miles that carried the aura of a sorcerer.
Traces of goblin habitation were everywhere in the ruins. Withered bones and blackened bloodstains littered the ground, while a foul stench lingered constantly beneath their noses.
This lightning eel was outstanding both in size and agility. It had clearly been crafted by a master.
Players were players, after all. The game had only been open for four months, and everyone’s mindset had clearly not yet shifted completely to treating this game world as a real one to be managed.
“This child isn’t very bright and reacts slowly. Even if you give him money or cloth, he won’t know how to spend it. More often than not, people take advantage of him, and sometimes the other beggars come to rob him as well.”
“You...” Seeing his frivolous expression and hearing his equally improper words, Gu Yier was both annoyed and amused. Pretending to be displeased, she cast him a coquettish glare before burying herself in his arms and wrapping both hands tightly around his waist.
“Yes, Master.” Uncle Li answered with a smile. Now that the Ma family was no longer in danger, Uncle Li was no less delighted than any of them.
Who could have known that Gu Mulan would come charging over so brazenly to curse them out, like a high-powered loudspeaker, as if terrified that no one would learn her elder brother had been cuckolded?
“All right, all right, I’ll stay. Isn’t that enough? I’ll do my part for our neighbors, too.” Tian Yueting spoke helplessly, but the moment she finished, she could not help breaking into a sweet smile.
She herself stood within the circle that represented status. Who would dare scheme against her, brush her off, or extort her?

In truth, she had her own reasons for beginning the livestream. Just as Jia Long had anticipated, her livestream from Shennongjia had received an explosive surge in popularity.
The Golden Serpent Lightning plunged downward at tremendous speed, coming within only a few miles of Daoist Shuiyun. Yet he seemed completely unaware, his eyes vacant and staring blankly ahead.
“Han’er, are you really going now? Aren’t you still feeling unwell?” Madam Murong looked at Zihan anxiously.
The distance between everyone quietly widened. Each person guarded against the others, their minds spinning frantically as they searched for a way to break the deadlock.
As the whirlwind slowly expanded around Gabi, all the flesh was stripped away from his bones. The dazed look in his eyes finally gave way to utter deathly stillness, and his entire body was swept into the vortex, leaving behind only a few scattered white bones.
The eighth spaceship arrived at around eleven that night. However, since it already carried a considerable number of Deligerhan people and various instruments, it could accommodate fewer passengers than the other ships. Even so, it took in more than thirty-six thousand people.
If Aixin was to have her wish fulfilled, she first had to win over Wen Wan, the person most important to Duan Ke. For Duan Ke, persuading Wen Wan to accept his having two women in his arms was his ultimate goal. To Ai Han Army, however, this was merely the first step.
That was why Constantine felt a faint sense of identification when Bai Qi said those words. But if he knew that Bai Qi had long since thoroughly studied both his deeds and his character, it was anyone’s guess what he would think.
Sister Chai set down her juice and cast another glance at Pei Zijun. Why did she feel that something about his presence was different now? And why had he let her call him “Zijun”? Only his family called him that.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were both seated beside Ning Fengzhi, their brows deeply furrowed and their solemn gazes fixed on him.
“Didn’t you hate Wu Fan terribly? Why is it that, looking at you now, all I see on your face is envy?” Nun Zilin asked.

Just then, a black halo suddenly appeared, sealing off all the surrounding space. Every evil soul master was enveloped within it, without a single one escaping.
Yu Miaomiao stared at the glaring words “Already Owned,” her heart aching so badly that she could hardly breathe. It was the first time she had ever seen such a red and enormous pillar of light. Yu Miaomiao had thought she had found a treasure, only to discover that it already belonged to someone else.
Yi Chengyong was sobbing uncontrollably and could no longer speak. Facing the old master, he knocked his head against the floor three times with resounding thuds.
When Dongdong saw Yu Miaomiao winking and signaling to him, he nodded, confirming what she had said.
In the instant they stepped onto the fifth stair, everyone felt various mutually counteracting attributes surging toward them from all directions.
Wu Fan was completely at a loss. The Ice Dragon had been far too obsessed, insisting on personally killing Bing Hanzi with a single stroke, only to drag itself down as well. If he had known, he would first have coaxed the exact location of the Iceflame Lake out of the Ice Dragon. Bai Lingbing might have been blown to pieces by now. After all, everything within a hundred miles had been reduced to dust.
The morning sunlight filtered through the branches and fell across Bai Yu’s face. Perhaps thanks to the Icefire Bird’s ability to keep the days cool and the nights warm, Bai Yu had slept exceptionally well. When he opened the door and stepped outside, someone was already practicing in the training ground below. Ling Lan, Feng Huo, Yan Ru, Xue’er, and the others were all there. It seemed he was the only one who had risen late.
However, the reason she continued working at Sheng Corporation was not because they had offered her an annual salary of five million, but because she had always loved Sheng Yuanhang.
After a while, the door opened, revealing a middle-aged man wearing glasses. He looked thin, and with the glasses on top of that, he had a sharp, monkey-like appearance.
