“Of course I’ve seen it!” Mo Yuan said, inexplicably displeased. What was that supposed to mean?

Beiming Yu had no intention of bringing everyone into Phoenix City, since doing so would easily attract attention. Thus, apart from Yue Qingming, Da Wa, and Er Wa, Beiming Yu took only Alice and Mr. Thousand Faces inside, leaving Old He outside Phoenix City to oversee the situation.

Su Ruyi had heard Fu Yunxi speak of her life. Thinking that she had remembered her birth mother, she smiled and said, “Silly girl, what is past is past. We must look ahead. There are still many people in this world worthy of your concern.” As she spoke, she cast a meaningful glance at the two men who were brawling over the kebabs.

“Young Master Jia, you still haven’t answered my question!” Bai Mujin fixed a cold stare on Jia Renyi, who stood silently to one side. She would never let off someone who had dared to accuse her recklessly.

Wei, why am I so unwilling to accept this? I clearly understand your feelings for Ding Yang, so why does hearing you plead with me on his behalf still leave me so heartbroken and unable to accept it?

Before the Water Dragon Patriarch could think any further, several Fire Dragon Lizards pounced at him. He immediately drew his sword, and several sword energies shot straight toward the creatures.

Unexpectedly, the man obediently nodded. His face then flushed red, making it obvious how bashful he was.

She had spent many years as a servant and understood all too well the misery of that life. Whatever the master said became absolute law. Not to mention marriage—even eating or using anything required the master’s permission before one dared to do it. There was no freedom, and one had to cast aside every personal thought, devoting oneself entirely to the master’s interests.

After the Water Dragon Taoist died, there was even less need to mention the mage. In order to cast the Sea-Ensnaring Formation, the mage had already expended a tremendous amount of magical power.

Old Madam Wu gritted her teeth and glanced at the dishes from the rooms of the Fourth and Fifth Ladies that had not yet been taken away. She steeled herself and said, “What else can we do? We can only take one portion from each of the Fourth and Fifth Ladies’ dishes and send them over for now. Otherwise, how could we possibly expect this jinx to spare us?” In her heart, however, she hated the woman bitterly.

Over the past nine months, not only had his subordinates changed—he himself had changed as well. He had adapted, worked hard, and continually broadened his horizons while raising his ambitions. Especially after several consecutive victories in battle, he set his sights higher, and his goals became clearer.

No one had more confidence in the Swan Lake project than he did, and no one understood better than he did the terrifying financial power he now possessed.

The moment Yun-ge heard the call, his eyes lit up. When he saw Ji Ying hand the lump of mud to him, he immediately imitated her and blew on it.

Li Yingjie, smoking with narrowed eyes, had not yet realized what the flying object was in the pitch darkness when the foul-smelling mud, reeking of earth and spittle, splattered over his entire head and face.

What happened next seemed increasingly dreamlike. Seeing that Old Zhu had not rejected Mister Su and the others’ submission, the neighbors who had previously vanished into hiding emerged one after another. They wrapped red cloth around their heads, seized their door bars, and came out to block the entrance to the neighborhood.

But for the Chinese team, this match also presented a difficult problem: they had to fight with all their strength for victory. Even a draw would mean that China was eliminated from this World Cup ahead of schedule. For the national team, whose psychological resilience had always been a major weakness, that was certainly cause for concern.

Everyone froze. Could it be that reincarnation was genuine in some cases and false in others? They were all curious, but none dared to ask. The people before them were exalted emperors. They might seem approachable, but no one knew when they might suddenly become less so.

“Perhaps it’s willpower and psychological strength. Germany has always been number one in the world in those areas,” one teammate replied.

“What do you mean by that, Director Gong? Are you saying that today’s incident involving the stranded tourists was…” Captain Xing was a police officer, and naturally more perceptive than ordinary people. Upon hearing this, he could not help feeling alarmed.

Zhu Xiaoyan had not expected that Qi Xiling already knew she worked at a bar. At those words, her heart filled with both embarrassment and flustered unease.

In other words, even if he killed Long Huolie in the arena, the Fire Dragon Clan would have no right to seek revenge against him.

A fierce sword wind swept horizontally through the air. A sudden gale lifted the Flower-Root Spirit high into the sky. When it began to fall, Cixin seized the moment, sprang upward, and caught the flower root in his hand. Influenced by the aura of a human being, the Flower-Root Spirit returned to its original form and stopped fleeing.

If there was anything she still could not let go of, it was probably the murder of the original body’s birth mother. She wanted revenge.

“It is merely a title without any real substance.” Meng Changsheng smiled. He had never cared much for the title of White-Robed Marquis.

But clearly, in Pei Yeling’s heart, she believed only that a friendship existed between the two of them. She had never once considered the possibility of love—not even for an instant.

Meng Changsheng went out to receive them. When he reached the gate, he saw Li Mu and Lu Qingqing riding toward him on horseback.

Every Yinglong was several hundred meters long. Their enormous wings beat ceaselessly, stirring the surrounding elemental energy into astral gales and refining the fireball at the center.

With a thunderous boom, the pair of Autumn Chill Butterflies cried out in pain and flapped their wings. The demonic fire within them surged even more fiercely, instantly flooding the void and transforming into black suns. The two suns collided and battled in the emptiness as Qi Xuanyi and his companion circulated their techniques, unleashing immense power that blasted everything around them. Stones and cliffs shattered and rained down.
