The rooster seemed rather dumbfounded as it locked eyes with Chen Hao; for a moment, the atmosphere grew quiet.
Xiesheng sat up with a start, eyeing Xia Feng as if he were looking at an idiot.
Without waiting for Jun Yan to agree, Qiu Luo happily led Cai Wei away. Jun Yan had no choice but to refocus his attention on his own body, calling out to the spirit fetus.
Gritting his teeth, Jun Yan decided to trust his intuition and began to loosen the blockages in his meridians.
Liu Wuchen carried an air of refreshing ease; though he did not do so intentionally, at his current level of cultivation, his every word and action was enough to influence many.
Liu Lanyun fell silent, speechless. Hearing her sobbing, Yun Feng felt a sense of exasperation—with a temperament like that, if she didn't let those who pushed their luck bully her, who else could she possibly let?
The group climbed higher and higher. After walking for over an hour, they finally reached the summit. They saw a row of dilapidated halls on the left, the walls with their peeling red paint covered in creeping ivy, the roofs blooming with wildflowers, and birds nesting in the eaves—the entire structure was heavy with the mottled marks of time.
He abducted her and beat people up, only to turn it into an excuse to get close to her. What was he trying to do? Was he acting out a scene of a hero saving a beauty?
Pang Qianqian was the one who asked Yun Xiu to beg Zhan Hongying and Yun Feng; she had spared no effort for the sake of such a man.
Chen Rong stood up. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Take me there. They are not outsiders, so there is no need to summon them one by one." She was not some prominent member of the Langya Wang clan; she was not so noble as to warrant such ceremony. She had to remember: always keep to her own station and always clearly understand her own position.
"Sir, it’s bad..." Cheng Pi had just started when Mo Han snatched the phone away.
He Qingfan nudged Mo Li, who was standing beside him with a dazed expression. His own face looked listless, his eyes devoid of spirit.

"I bought you some food. I wasn't sure what you liked, so I just picked up a few things. Eat while it’s hot after you finish your shower." Before she stepped into the bathroom, Liu Xing’s voice drifted in from outside.
Yes, that was it. The reason I felt something was wrong was that the way everyone around us looked at us was completely brazen, their gazes burning without the slightest attempt at concealment. Yet, the moment I met their eyes, they would immediately shift back to being perfectly polite.
Teng gritted his teeth and thrust his spear again, but the Shaman caught the shaft. Teng was shocked, only to see a sliver of light emerge from the moon in the sky.
Truth be told, the relationship between the Bai family and the Hou family was genuinely close. In such a dangerous situation, the first person Bai Yuande thought of was Hou Tianju, rather than the City Lord’s Mansion, which was responsible for maintaining order in Jiaoming City.
Huangfu Huan chanted softly, his expression gradually softening. As if he had reached a decision, a curve appeared at the corners of his mouth as he addressed the cultivators.
Zhang Mengxi’s gaze and words left Jiang Chengce hesitant. Although he did harbor some affection for her, it had not reached the level where he wanted to spend his life with her.
"What’s the situation?" Yu Ruotong, who had just climbed out of the fighter jet, didn't even have time to wipe the sweat dripping from her brow before asking anxiously.
Yun Feng’s words left Shi Ling'er stunned. He was right: the true goal of the myriad races was to slay the demons. That was the ultimate objective, and they couldn't care less about what methods were used to achieve it.
In truth, the soul storm was not the apocalyptic scene one might imagine. It was merely a name. To put it plainly, it was a special soul space; it was just that soul storms occasionally swept through, and because this space was composed of soul fragments, it earned that name.
"Appoint me to some idle post, provide a few guards, and give me enough silver, and I will travel to all the nations, roaming the mountains and rivers," Zai Xun replied. Clearly, he had completely lost faith in the Great Qing Dynasty.
"Last time, you deliberately sent me away, didn't you!" Shi Yi recalled that day. She had clearly heard the nurse calling Sun Changjiang’s name and had already reached the door to his room, only to be intercepted by the sudden appearance of Uncle Nan.
"You must strictly observe discipline. Do not oppress the local people or the members of the Railway Protection Movement," Chen Ning ordered.

The eyes of the newcomers turned bloodshot. Aside from a few who left with their jade tokens, the rest were driven to a state of near-madness. Rolling up their sleeves, they charged forward recklessly, leaving the senior students stunned.
Chen Yi continuously performed this cycle within his body. For every bit of blood tempered by the purple lightning, two-thirds were reduced, and it was only through the resistance of his inner energy that the remaining third survived; otherwise, Chen Yi would have truly experienced what it felt like to be reduced to a husk.
After much deliberation, Liu Lingshan felt she had no choice but to cooperate with Peter, otherwise, there was a high probability she would end up with nothing. But the mere thought of Peter wanting to take sixty percent of the assets made her seething with anger.
Dong Zhanyun finally let out a long sigh: "It's finally done. We are just one step away from smelting a new horse-chopping saber." Ke'er and the others were excited, running to the furnace to touch the fruits of their labor.
The large party moved into Luoyun Pavilion in a grand manner. Since there were already servants in the pavilion to manage things, the group only needed to have the masters' bedding arranged according to their daily customs.
"Alright, that's one down. Your score for this one is zero." Seeing Tang Han’s performance, Chen Shixiong was quite pleased; it proved that Tang Han was bound to lose.
To others, Zhang Yixian’s cultivation had reached a level of harmony with heaven and humanity. His fruit of merit was already that of an immortal. Only Zhang Yixian himself knew that he had long been eroded by inner demons.
Zhang Yixian frowned, not expecting his aura to be so overwhelming that he could frighten this crippled man—who had slaughtered his own sect members—into kneeling and begging for mercy without even having to make a move.
The figure of the Emperor could no longer be seen on the large ship. Someone set up a gangplank, and two men dressed in flying-fish robes stepped onto their painted pleasure boat.
