27. Changing Places
Walking downstairs, Yifan took her hand and led her to the parking space. With practiced ease, he opened the door of a silver-gray Buick and helped her inside.
“Then let’s go. Don’t be afraid, I’m here,” Qi Yuhan said softly, his voice carrying an unspoken seriousness and sincerity. Qidie looked up and caught a glimpse of Qi Yuhan’s handsome profile, feeling an inexplicable sense of reassurance, much like the time he saved her on the cliff.
The Hulk was actually a white, skinny man—a monkey-like figure—no wonder he was the first to be dealt with. Iron Man was a black man, while Captain America, Batman, and the others were all white, each possessing decent physical abilities.
Before long, the meal was finished, the small talk concluded, and it was time for the eagerly anticipated demon-capturing ceremony. Yet at the crucial moment, Shen Yi hesitated.
The celebration by Zhang Zhetian took quite some time. Michael Oliver, moved or for some other reason, graciously refrained from interrupting Zhang Zhetian and his group’s festivities. After all, there were only a few minutes of added time, the score was already 5-0, and the outcome was settled. This courtesy might come in handy someday.
Before leaving, An Feng planned to buy a helicopter next time. Inspired by yesterday’s helicopter hunting, he thought acquiring a Robinson R44 would be a great idea. It had many advantages: perfect for lazy hunters, convenient for traveling between Austin and the hunting grounds, and reasonably priced at just over six hundred thousand.
The fiery red filaments stretched outward, as if the flower sought to grasp the departing leaves. The blood-red petals, sharp and dazzling, seemed to bleed into the filaments. The red spider lily bloomed on the other shore, its flower and leaves forever separated, never to meet. This single flower added an eerie, otherworldly aura to her presence.
“I suspect he’s a threat,” Liu Tao said. “Take care of yourself. I want to see you come back alive—bouncing and full of life.” After speaking, Liu Tao snorted lightly and hung up.
“Thanks to the palace bureau, I landed the nice gig of delivering meals to Yiyue Pavilion. Whether I want to or not, this old lady has to show up,” an aged voice came from outside the courtyard.
I turned around, my eyes heavy as they fixed on the chaotic burial ground ahead. Then I took out a feng shui compass from my pocket.

She had no idea what all those chaotic bamboo slips in the space meant. Did that mean she now had to buy a Xinhua dictionary to make sense of them?
Yue Qingxian led Su Jinyu and a few others into the whirlpool. When they reemerged, before them stood a bronze ancient palace, half-buried at an angle in the earth.
The other three major entertainment companies, seeing the brilliance of the situation, issued statements. Clearly, they had solid evidence, so the three parties joined forces with the brilliance, making the star singer competition speak in unison.
Today, unusually calm and composed, he placed himself in the role of elder, painfully educating Luo Jin.
Amid the stunned gazes of onlookers, Li Du paused and scribbled intermittently, completing the score and lyrics within ten minutes.
Back when Li Du’s votes surpassed two million, backstage staff had already begun verifying the authenticity of his votes, checking for errors or deliberate manipulation.
“Well, well, if you have anything troubling you, speak out. This cat king is here to help,” it said, this time controlling its mouth, avoiding foolishness.
The original fans of both gradually began to like this newcomer singer who had debuted barely a month ago.
Zhuang Yuman’s development was decent, after all, she had a mine vein. She chose to stay on the sidelines during the recent mining speculation scandal, unwilling to associate with Ding Xueming’s disgraceful conduct, thereby avoiding losses.
From Long Kui’s memories, Yang Lie learned that he had come secretly to Youmen City under some pretext. Combined with the old man’s words, it was easy to guess that this fellow believed his movements were hidden, but in fact, they had long been spotted by the “Du Huang” disciple.

To be honest, Jun Ye truly did not want to get entangled with another supreme being. Being noticed by one, Bian Yi, was already enough trouble. Being targeted by two was truly overwhelming. Moreover, this supreme being named Xi He had just made him waste a vast amount of limitless source liquid. If they were currently on equal footing, he would have liked nothing better than to thrash him to vent his frustrations.
Feng Wu searched again. Apart from the initial appearance of the white-robed man, who had intimidated and made promises to the two, she had no other memories of him. Disappointed, she withdrew her spiritual energy, glanced at the person still sleeping with his head on the table, and stroked her chin. Since he was so “fond of Tang Xin,” why not help him out herself?
Seeing the message from Xia Chengyuan, Xia Fangyuan quickly replied. “How would Dad know?” Xia Fangyuan knew Xia Zheng had not been restricting Xia Chengyuan’s movements recently, so why today? Could it be that Xia Zheng knew they were going to meet?
“If you don’t kill me, I’m afraid I’ll lose control and end up killing you all,” Huo Jing said. He truly was unsure whether he could resist the medicinal liquid’s influence and avoid doing something he would regret for life.
Feng Wu also narrowed her eyes slightly, looking toward the sky. Soon, eight white-robed men drifted down and stood before the three of them.
“Have you decided? You must understand, once I sever ties with my clan, I will no longer have the chance to help you awaken your bloodline!” the quasi-emperor said gravely.
“Ahem, just an analogy. Mom was only giving an example!” Almost forgotten, her precious son—fearless and known as the universe’s smartest and bravest genius child—was terrified of bugs. No matter the type, if it involved insects, he was scared stiff.
He liked Diao Chan, but she followed Guan Yu. He liked Cai Yan, but Cai Yan was betrothed to Zhang Fei by Wang Yun, and so was out of reach for Liu Bei. As the eldest brother, Liu Bei couldn’t compete with his two brothers, so he was left silently bitter, unable to express his displeasure.
