There was truly no need for it. If one day the great mansion collapsed and she were consigned to the government brothel, she only hoped that others would offer her the same small measure of concealment.

From the corner of his eye, Fuyong saw Fu Ao leave the great hall. Not the slightest change crossed his face as he continued raising his cup and drinking with Jiuban.

After getting a good sleep, Lin Feng now sat refreshed in the back seat of a taxi. Because of some unexpected circumstances, he had changed his flight to noon. After all, being able to sleep a little longer and remain in good spirits was important.

To everyone’s astonishment, the instant the instructor saw those photographs, his face, usually as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice, changed dramatically. His hand unconsciously tightened around the photographs, the veins on the back of it bulging, until the smooth, pristine pictures were crushed into a mass of wrinkles.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Chen Che saw stars as he fell into the arena. It turned out that the soldiers of the capital patrol camp stationed around the perimeter had not been idle either. Even before Chen Che leaped into the air, they had thrown dozens of leather shields upward, layering them above him. If Chen Che had not jumped, he might still have escaped being crushed, but in midair there was nowhere for him to flee.

“If you cut corners again, you’ll be beaten without mercy! Give us an example.” Third Sister, who was touching up her makeup with a glazed mirror in hand, interrupted Yishuan and shot Chen Che an annoyed glance.

“By the way, Lin Feng, let me add you as a contact. If you need any help in Jiangnan, you can get in touch with me. Our Ouyang family still has some influence there.” As Ouyang Haomei spoke, she blinked at Lin Feng. But with his sharp eyes, Lin Feng still noticed her secretly glance toward the place where Huangfu Xiaobo was sitting.

Black and pallid white formed a stark contrast, assaulting the eyes and sending a chill through the heart.

Although Yun Wu was being carried by Long Qingxie, the moment they entered the cave, the heaviness within her body seemed to increase considerably.

Zhuge Liang drew a deep breath and asked, “What exactly happened? How could such a situation arise?” Zhang Fei’s importance went without saying. Now that Zhang Fei had died in battle, the news was utterly shocking.

“Yes, yes, it’s Brother Ye. Please, just give us a chance!” Ah Xing found it somewhat strange, but so long as he could join the Axe Gang, what difference did it make who the leader was?

The soldiers in the long-spear formation charged forward. Some attacked in wedge formations, some formed circles to hold their ground, while others simply pressed straight ahead.

The Taoist beside him frowned. Their most fundamental purpose in coming here was to determine whether anyone could dispel the ancient curse. Their second purpose was to delay the curse’s onset. If the other party refused to cooperate on that point, then clearly they would not achieve what they had come for today.

At that moment, Banruo, who had been concentrating on absorbing energy within the realm of consciousness, felt her body shake. She had no choice but to interrupt her cultivation and open her eyes.

Pei Qian waited all day the next day without seeing Shen Songming come over, and immediately became furious. Damn Shen Songming! Could he really look down on her family that much? Their sweet potatoes had earned them an imperial reward, after all. Surely they were not so lacking!

Tian Qi ran over and examined the place from side to side for a while, discovering that the distribution of their medicinal fields was unusual as well. They were not arranged in adjoining plots like ordinary farmland. Instead, eight entire medicinal fields formed a circle, leaving a large open space in the middle.

At the very least, investigating certain matters concerning Su Qing was no longer difficult.

Lin Zhen drank the last bowl of soup, then opened his mouth and let out a satisfied burp. A gesture like that was something Nalan Zhen would never have been able to make, even if he had to fart; he would have forced it back while sitting there.

Just as Liu Quansheng had said, they could no longer continue eating this meal, nor could they remain at this inn.

With that, the masked man turned and left, heading once more toward the lofty mountain peak. His movements were graceful, as though he were walking on level ground.

Once he had gained complete control over these intelligent machines, he issued a single command: “Declare war on humanity. Kill every human you see.” And so the slaughter of humanity by the intelligent machines began. The massacre spread across hundreds of thousands of planets beneath that stretch of starry sky, reaching every human city.

Yet every day they saw people streaming in and out of the mixed-noodle shop, while business at their own store remained dismally quiet. At first, the surrounding shopkeepers were all deeply resentful. But after making inquiries, they realized that the other establishment had a hotpot restaurant as its backing—such a formidable patron that they could only swallow their anger.

Qian Mimi had not finished speaking when she suddenly realized that she could no longer utter another word: Wu Xuzi had seized her by the throat. She felt that she truly saw her own death approaching in Wu Xuzi’s eyes. Her throat felt as though it were being crushed alive. No matter how hard she pried at his hands, it was useless.

The other wild ghosts who had lived for many years also knew the reputation of the Celestial Master of Mount Longhu. They all trembled and slowly retreated.

“Wait here for me.” Shangguan Jing stared at Qian Mimi for several seconds before speaking, each word measured and distinct. Qian Mimi could not tell whether it was a question or a statement. After all, his voice had no rise or fall.

Her soul was watching the miniature spirit of the Sumeru realm within her sea of consciousness. Sensing Adai’er, she discovered that he had not gone to the wooden hut but had headed directly toward the waterside pavilion by the lake.

Oke Yati knelt on one knee, welcoming Lin Yuan as he emerged from the passage beside the training grounds.

He Xiangdong was smiling as well. He glanced at Xue Guo, who was exceptionally excited today and had already launched attack after attack.

With both hands braced against the edge of the outer wall of the Arkham spell-cannon fortress, whose construction was gradually taking shape, Lin Yuan gazed across the great lake at the city on the opposite shore.

Suddenly, Dian Feng looked at her with an unfriendly expression, startling Zhu Yun. But the next moment, she glared back at Dian Feng without the slightest restraint.
