Chapter 55 Simply Because I Said So

Hearing Du Kai speak rudely, Xu Banxia's good mood sank to rock bottom.

She stared at Du Kai, enunciating every word, "I invited him here. If you curse him as a loser, then what does that make me?"

This retort left Du Kai speechless for a long time.

Clearly, Du Kai had not expected Xu Banxia to be so protective of her nominal fiancé.

"Well... since everyone is here, let's go inside," Li Liang said, changing the subject to ease the tension.

Just when everyone thought the interlude was over, unexpectedly, Xu Banxia said coldly, "Wait!"

The crowd looked at Xu Banxia in confusion.

"Banxia, what is this?" Jiang Yalan asked with a puzzled expression.

Pointing at Du Kai, Xu Banxia said in a cold voice, "Apologize..."

"Do you think that fellow will actually come looking for us?" After a moment, Turner couldn't help asking.

Nodding, Yvette commanded the troops to redirect their weapons and launch an attack on the NPC forces still trapped in the deep crater. Those troops lacked the players' methods for escaping pits and could only silently endure the onslaught until they fell.

It had to align with the purpose of the autumn selection tournament while also allowing the visiting guests to experience Totsuki's unique and extraordinary nature.

That somewhat ordinary face seemed at that moment possessed by a divine spirit, filled with a majesty that was difficult to look upon directly.

The Great Witch Xiangliu used the Ten Kings of Hell to block Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, then transformed into a streak of black light and fled into the void.

When she felt the warmth of the man she adored transmitted through her palm—real and comforting—her panicked state of mind gradually settled.

Hearing this, Orochimaru inwardly cursed Deidara as an ungrateful wretch, and then a chill ran down his spine as he felt a piercing, lightning-like gaze from behind, as if he were being targeted by some primordial fierce beast.

The first type represents the pinnacle of talisman masters—blessed lands and heavenly paradises created by them, such as the Thousand-Year Buddhist Kingdom of the Great Sumeru Temple, or the self-contained underwater world of the Blissful Dragon Court. These are entirely different realms of their own, and extremely rare.

Many people had already noticed that Fang Sheng's astral apertures were now shimmering with starlight, having reached the state where his entire body crackled with thunder like a tempest.

He had witnessed Tang Feng's previous display of power—a wide-area soul energy technique that he knew nothing about and could not be certain he could defend against. Naturally, he chose to strike first, unleashing thirty thunder-light talismans right away.

Emerging from the hot spring bath, Li Ningang casually wrapped a large blanket around himself and strode outside. However, upon catching sight of Wan'er's melancholic gaze, he immediately made a bold move, leaving Tong Tong—still submerged in the pool—too embarrassed to surface or dare ask any questions.

Even more eerie was that Ke Jun, Liu Hao, and the others had spread word that anyone caught gossiping behind your back or publishing new rumors on the forum would be hunted down to the very end.

Recalling the few times he had been struck by lightning, Lei Li seemed to have a sudden epiphany: being struck by intense lightning appeared to be a way to rapidly accelerate his cultivation speed.

With much difficulty, I finally got into the car and urged the driver to hurry home. But on the way, my phone rang. Seeing it was Granny Chen's call, I foolishly thought Little Sun had missed me and was calling.

Unable to care about anything else, my mind was entirely consumed by the image of Little Sun getting lost, crying out for his mother with tear-filled eyes.

Most people stared in stupefaction at all of this, as if watching a movie, yet everything was so intensely real—so real that they found it hard to believe.

Sensing these energies, Lin Yun knew this was the power of Lin Heng. What surprised him, however, was that this power was neither dragon battle energy nor berserker strength, but rather something resembling attribute-less energy.

Upon entering the office, the style was markedly different from Qin Xiao's; this one appeared flamboyant and luxurious, lacking any trace of Qin Xiao's usual aesthetic.

Yuan Xiao lay on her bed, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes. She covered her head with the quilt, yet her body could still be felt trembling uncontrollably from weeping.

To be precise, Shen Yu was pondering the Five Elements Unity Formula, while Shen Tian was studying the Hetuo Zhouetian—having twin souls was truly wonderful, allowing one to comprehend two cultivation techniques simultaneously.

When Moyang realized this situation, it was already evidently too late. Eight beams of golden light suddenly shot out from the eight huge pillars of the grand hall, binding him tightly in mid-air.

Then, Lao Liu the coachman watched with a pounding heart as the blacksmith planed his horse's hooves smooth with a knife, and then watched all four horseshoes being nailed onto the hooves.

Without waiting for the eunuch to announce, Su Mi lifted the beaded curtain and stepped into the side hall, where she indeed saw Qi Long and a white-bearded elder seated opposite each other, chatting and laughing.

Hua Luanfeng took the spiritual talisman that Yi Chunrong had given her back then. Though unhappy on the surface, at least she now had something to do.

Yang Feng gazed at this final street before him, his brow furrowing deeply. To be honest, had he not still harbored a sliver of wishful thinking, he would never have come to this place. This was Yangzhou City's notorious red-light district—or at least, Yang Feng regarded it as such.

In this virtual arena, everyone was restricted to using the exact same warships, eliminating any unfair advantage of having more or fewer ships than your opponent.

Shen Tianyu felt as though his body was about to burn from the inside out. The scorching pain was so intense that he could even feel the fat within his body boiling under the roasting heat of this fire.

That wasn't even the most critical issue; the snow on the peak suddenly collapsed, rushing toward Zhao Haos and the others like a massive flood.

Ren Yingying traveled everywhere with Xiang Wentian, finally tracking down Ren Woxing's traces within a cave. Having undergone ten years of imprisonment, Ren Woxing had long since calmed down.

If one had to point out a difference, it was that the man appeared far more unrestrained and free-spirited, whereas Hua Qiexiao's features were refined by an extra thirty percent.

The old emperor's cold had worsened again. He knelt before the bed wearing a black bamboo hat, accompanied by all the ministers.

He didn't look like someone seeking guidance; rather, he seemed to detest someone prone to uttering falsehoods like her, and undoubtedly felt revulsion in his heart.

Yin Tianzheng turned, left Cuiwei Palace, and returned to True Dragon Palace. Zhang Yuan lay down on a soft couch, carefully pondering how to help Yin Tianzheng weather this crisis.
