“What’s the matter? Am I not good enough?” Zhong Miaoke thrust out her chest and raised her chin, seeming to grow several inches taller as she suddenly felt magnificently imposing.

Kun Xuan’er pinched her fingers together. A streak of cold light shot downward, and the sword aura guarding the withered bones was instantly broken down into nothing. It was the Profound Transformation Talisman Array.

What astonished Ye Feng even more was that when he faced this resplendent starry sky, the profound energy circulating within his body began to tremble inexplicably. It was as though every acupoint throughout his body were resonating with it, faintly drawing vast amounts of the world’s profound energy toward him.

Mo Wuhen gazed impassively at Ye Feng. His eyes had changed since two months ago, when they were in Medicine King Valley.

She also knew that, with the Wuya Kingdom currently suffering harassment from the Suzi Kingdom, her sisters would help spread the word that she was deeply favored and had been summoned to attend the king most often. Yet they would not resent her for taking their share of his favor. For that alone, she felt they deserved to be treated as family.

A cold, furious shout reverberated throughout the passageway. The four of them exchanged glances, shock in all their eyes, then swiftly darted forward. After rounding the bend, they saw an entrance guarded by countless stone swords. Beyond it lay utter darkness.

Before long, winter had arrived. Only now did Xia Yuan realize that he had been staying in Wuyang for so long.

Dark Two clenched both fists, the veins on the backs of his hands bulging. His bronze-colored face flushed crimson, and the veins in his neck rose in terrifying relief.

Since Ye Long dared to bully him as a good-for-nothing and dreamed of seizing everything that belonged to him, then he would knock some sense into him during the family coming-of-age ceremony.

“I came up with this plan. At the time, she asked me how to disgust Feng Shanhe, so I suggested this nasty little trick,” Xia Yuan said calmly.

Zhang Zhenshan glanced at him in surprise. “Good!”

He felt somewhat puzzled. He had not noticed anything unusual in this part of the film. In other words, this segment contained no clues of any value.

They were dumbfounded—utterly dumbfounded. Even these usually powerful and highly respected elders felt an urge to curse. Two cultivation arts capable of helping people break through, and with such absolute confidence behind them! What was more, they had been given by someone else. Why did it feel as though they had fallen into a dream?

Then he kicked out, striking squarely against the hand Lin Feng had wrapped around the rope. Lin Feng could no longer hold on and immediately tumbled off the platform.

Uncle Ma merely nodded indifferently and greeted him before glancing at Dantai Mingyue. He then found a corner, sat down, and apparently intended to attend the auction as well.

Even without Wu Yingxiong’s death, she would still have come looking for Esdeath. After all, she had suffered such a crushing defeat at Esdeath’s hands and taken such a great loss that, even if Wu Yingxiong had not been involved, she would still have sought justice for herself.

It was only because Yan Ying had malicious intentions and dared to treat her as though she were invisible that Bulma pressed her so relentlessly.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Three blows rang out in succession. Lin Feng felt both arms grow numb and sore, as though they had been viciously struck with iron rods.

“Willpower? Is it an attack, or control?” Soros and the others froze, staring at Bai Susu in bewilderment and suspicion.

“What did you say?” Dantai Mingyue was aghast. The entire Wanyuehua family was dead? How could that be?

Xu Zhe instinctively raised his battle saber to block. Liao Yun’s crutch scraped past his face several times. If it struck his head, Xu Zhe could not imagine what kind of agony he would have to endure.

The captain had always been like this. He spouted twisted theories that no one could possibly agree with, yet somehow left them unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.

The sudden sense of danger forced Hu Man to pay attention. What sort of person had appeared on Mount Daluo? Why had he come to disturb the peace atop the mountain?

It turned out that this entire tragedy had begun when Old Jiang from the construction crew carried away an animal skeleton excavated from Mount Meishan.

“This sack procession seems to symbolize the continuation of the family line.” Fu Peipei suddenly remembered seeing something similar in a film she had watched. Five sacks symbolized five generations living under one roof.

I stood behind him, craning my neck to look inside the door. Sure enough, the furnishings and layout within were exactly the same as those in Chen Le’s home.

I watched helplessly as the zombie bent over him, bringing its hand, tipped with fingernails several inches long, toward Tan Xi’s face. The next instant, it might have punched a row of bloody holes straight through him.

Mrs. Xu’s life, and the life of her own mother—those were not things that any amount of gold, silver, or jewels could ever replace.

After hearing this, the two of them looked toward the old man. Wendy shoved Angelina aside and said, “Sorry to keep you waiting. If you want to play, I’ll be happy to play with you for quite some time!” As she spoke, countless droplets of water suddenly appeared around her body.

“Brother Xinyi, just tell me plainly. What exactly do you want me to do? Stop stringing me along,” Peng Haoming said. He no longer wished to beat around the bush, so he lowered his stance and asked directly.

The song was sung without accompaniment. Perhaps it voiced what everyone was feeling, for even those who were not good at singing quietly hummed along. At this moment, when they had only just come to understand parting and were already about to separate, everyone seemed especially sincere, as though they were all one.

I awkwardly withdrew my outstretched hand and looked at Dede, who had not retained even a shred of dignity, then shook my head.
