His gaze was like a sword hidden within its scabbard; even without being unsheathed, merely resting there, it emanated a silent, formidable deterrence.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiuyue felt that her junior brother truly understood her heart. In an instant, all her worries vanished like smoke. With Chu Yuan’s words, what else was there to fear? Even in death, what regrets could remain?

With the results out, it was time to prepare for the return to school. Li Chengqiang, in high spirits, waved his hand and paid out of his own pocket to treat the students to a grand meal at a restaurant outside before they boarded the bus to head back.

Before long, this fellow sent over the things that were good to eat along with the ones he hadn't finished.

Fel energy is a wild and primal force. Its simplest application is to detonate its energy to ignite fel fire, which is also the easiest form of fel magic for all demons to master.

As for Lu Lin’s imposing image as "Brother Lu," it was long gone. In front of Li Yan, Lu Lin was at most a mewling, overgrown tiger.

"Miss Shui, Miss Shui, save me." Just as Shui Miaomiao was ordering everyone to leave quickly, she heard a slightly familiar voice.

"You had better wait a while before leaving!" Ling Xuan sat on the sofa and poured himself another cup of tea.

The girl opposite wore a light blue emerald smoke dress, a pleated skirt of water-mist and tender grass, and a pale blue thin shawl draped over her shoulders. Her embroidered shoes were mostly hidden by the long skirt, though one could catch a glimpse of the exquisite craftsmanship on the tips. Her raven-black hair was tightly bound at the back of her head with an ebony hairpin.

Mu Lixiao knew it would come to this. She must be insane to let herself consume another gu insect. What if they met and realized they weren't right for each other, only to decide to perish together? Wouldn't she just become cannon fodder?

Ye Jinglan remained silent along the way, gripping her hand tightly—so tightly, just as he had on the day he first lost his sight.

Ning Qianqian had heard rumors of Mu Lixiao’s recent changes, but she had not expected them to be so profound. Previously, although Mu Lixiao held a high position, apart from defying the Emperor once and volunteering for punishment, she had spent the rest of her time being bullied by others.

Moonlight, rare and precious, appeared above the city. The clear night sky cast its glow upon Tanya’s shoulders, but a moment later, she vanished once more, retreating back into the darkness.

If… if she gave up everything and left this place, would she be happier? To cast aside all the burdens in her heart, including her emotional ties to the Mu family, and just leave—to disappear from this palace, no longer needing to do anything for anyone, only striving for her own happiness. Would she be happy?

As someone who did not know that Yueyue was his biological son, the fact that he could treat the boy as his own left nothing to be desired.

Facing Lucifer’s strongest strike, Ziying had no time to think in her haste; she instantly gathered her spiritual energy and raised her hands to meet it. A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar erupted, and the entire world trembled in its wake.

She hadn't given a specific date for her return to the manor, yet someone was waiting at the gate, showing just how much her grandmother longed to see her.

Old Madam Song trusted Xia Jinxi implicitly, believing she would not gossip with outsiders. To avoid suspicion, and naturally to keep the secret of Xia Ruxue’s illness, she felt that sending Xia Jinxi to fetch the medicine was the most appropriate choice.

Qingyi entered with Nanny Shui, Nanny Ru, Yuzhu, and Lingzhu. Once inside the room, the nannies consciously followed behind and stopped outside the reception hall, leaving only Qingyi to proceed alone.

In fact, in today’s increasingly socialized world, where is there any independence? Even a president must beg voters for their support.

Inside the pouch, a white jade stone was shimmering. Strangely, before the Qiankun pouch was opened, the light of the jade flickered on and off, but once the pouch was opened, the white light flashed continuously without interruption.

In a single day, the Golden Core was refined—a top-grade elixir of the Wangchuan Continent, used on Yun Shitian.

Master Zheng remarked out of the blue that they weren't printing counterfeit money, so they should be content. Don't be too greedy; just being able to get a few months of back pay would be enough.

I smiled and hurried back, telling Xiang Lei to gather the villagers to start working, to dig the irrigation ditch early, and then to clear the water through that earthen mound to flood the rats' nest.

Following the crisp cry, a screeching roar—one the Lingnan soldiers had heard many times before—pierced the night sky, filled with majesty and dominance.

"Oh, just give it a try; it won't take much time." Jiang Yi reached out and pulled Yu Wei toward the Stone of Three Lives.

Although Mu Yun thought he truly couldn't escape, at that very moment, for reasons unknown, the Yuntian Sword he had just drawn unsheathed itself in an instant, transforming into a golden beam of light that blocked the path before him.

"Be my guest." Zhao Shu watched him turn his horse and leave, adding a "Farewell, Cave Master" as he did. He heard the man let out a heavy snort. After Dong Xinlei had ridden twenty or thirty paces, a troop of cavalry emerged to meet him. Zhao Shu watched him swaying in the saddle, clearly so furious and anxious, panicked and fearful, that he could barely stay seated.

As a notorious "third-generation heir" within the entire Dragon Clan, how could he possibly miss out on such a benefit auction for Dragon Team members? He had pestered his father for 30,000 contribution points and scurried over, feeling quite pleased with himself.

"I say, Big Brother, I didn't realize you were such a big spender!" Old Ge Da said in surprise.

So that was it. I had to admire Zhao Ji’s ability; he was indeed much stronger than a newcomer like me.

I still couldn't quite believe it, so I pushed the fire extinguisher inside. Before I had finished, I saw the bottom of the fire extinguisher poking out from the opening, as if someone had stuffed it through from the other side.

When the Mantis Gu landed, ten Golden-Tailed Imperial Scorpions crawled out from the cracks in the bricks. The scorpions surrounded the two Mantis Gu, and in a moment, they had slaughtered them on the spot.

The two exchanged a look, let out a heavy sigh, and lowered their noble heads. All three had walked out of piles of corpses; death meant little to them. They would rather die right now than endure another second of the pressure’s torture.

No matter, this was their only chance. Long Yan’s heart was filled with anxiety, while the Golden Flame Sacred Lion was currently channeling all its Yuan energy, fully focused on dismantling the complex, vein-like patterns on the Dragon-Slaying Sword. This restriction was far from simple.

Tan Hong didn't know what the senior officers were thinking, but looking at their tall, imposing frames and the strange smiles on their faces, he didn't feel very comfortable.
