Seeing this, Lin Feng said nothing. He merely chuckled, hooked one arm around Feng Lan, took Lin Wei by the hand with the other, and led them into the courtyard.

Ye Yaqian’s condition was truly extraordinary. The brain was mysterious to begin with, and she had been in a coma for several years. In her present state, she was scarcely different from a living corpse.

“I don’t know either. Somehow, it merged with astonishing ease...” Xintian scratched his head and could only answer honestly.

Standing on the platform, Dongzi followed the breathing technique his master had taught him, adjusting his heartbeat and respiration to an exceptionally favorable rhythm.

After the fifth knock rang out, a black figure suddenly emerged from behind the hall and respectfully dropped to its knees.

But no matter how one looked at it, compared with the two stone statues before him, Lin Liang felt an indescribable discomfort. If he had to describe the sensation in a single word, it would perhaps be “revulsion.”

Just as everyone gazed expectantly at the Dragon Essence Pool before them, someone suddenly looked up at the sky and let out a startled cry.

Zhang Zhizhong met the man’s gaze. The muscles at the corners of his mouth trembled involuntarily. Only his years of disciplined composure kept him from losing control.

“This is already eighty percent of all the spiritual energy I possess. With it, you will not only be able to teleport a thousand miles, but your soul will also become unshakably stable. Even if a Great Luo Golden Immortal struck at you, he would be unable to seize you. Below the level of a Golden Immortal, you would have no equal.” Nan Feng spoke in a low voice.

Su Huai and his companion completely ignored the thin, dark-skinned man’s words. Yet when they heard the words “Chen Kingdom,” Chu Huaiyu, standing beside them, frowned slightly, as though the very name filled him with apprehension.

Bai Yu had originally come out to buy time, but unfortunately, buying time was no longer possible.

Fortunately, Meg seemed to wield considerable authority among these elves. Wherever she went, not a single elf dared block her path.

Fu Yunchu had little patience and an explosive temper. When the two of them remained silent, his anger immediately flared.

This humanoid simulation robot was a civilian model developed by Haotian Group. It could serve as a housekeeper at home and as a bodyguard when traveling.

Their attitude toward Yun Qianfan was now rather ambiguous, though quite a few people were hoping that he would succeed.

Running laps, washing up, eating breakfast, group drills, individual training... No one mentioned what had happened earlier, as though it had never happened at all.

How could he possibly have the ability or the time to help Nangong Mo search for the Nangong family or any of its affiliated forces?

When Zhi Ruoding said this, the two people who were not specialists in the field immediately took offense and voiced their dissatisfaction one after another.

Yeye lowered her head, her brows drawn tightly together. A pained expression crept across her face. “It’s better to be a doll.” Uttering those words exhausted every ounce of strength she possessed.

Tserriednich tossed the Bian-style knife in his hand to the humanoid figure, apparently not worried in the slightest that it might attack him.

Of course he knew the Empress Dowager was not ill. She was deliberately avoiding him. If she had truly been feeling unwell, how could he have dared make such a commotion?

After all that rushing about, more than twenty minutes had passed before anyone noticed.

While Li Dong was treating the two injured people, Captain Song confirmed another matter from Zhou Yiyan. It turned out that the opening in the ancient city had not been opened by him and Master Xie at all.

What was even more astonishing was that whenever Meier nestled against him, the two of them behaved so indecently that any outsider would have blushed with embarrassment—yet he had somehow grown accustomed to it.

At a time like this, if he did not offer his father a few more hints and make him realize the true purpose behind the Third Prince’s actions—to establish an independent domain—when would he ever have a better chance?

Hu Tingxuan had already seized Zhou Zekai’s hand as well. Looking at Mu Jiarui sprawled on the ground, she felt deeply conflicted, but she had no intention of letting Zhou Zekai continue. Instead, she turned toward Mu Jiarui and spoke.

Those words immediately stirred the people around them. In the blink of an eye, every gaze fixed upon Zhang Xueling. Even Master Xie stared at her in astonishment, clearly unable to believe what he had heard.

Ye Han spoke with complete sincerity. No matter how many thoughts a brilliant student who had just entered university might harbor, his eyes still held more clarity than those of people who had entered society at an early age.

With his abilities, forget merely poisoning Duobo—even if everyone pointed to him as the culprit, there might still be no one bold enough to enter the prince’s residence and arrest him.

The water was pleasantly warm. There was none of the noise of the city, none of its troubles. It was as though every mundane concern had been cast beyond the heavens. In the secluded hot spring, emerald waves rippled gently as the two embraced and bathed together. Acting on instinct, they inevitably engaged in a special and thrilling bout of lovemaking in the spring.

The shriek was so heartrending that the corpse controller, listening from afar, felt as though his heart were being cut by knives. Though unwilling to accept defeat, he knew he was no match for the giant dragon and could only watch helplessly as the two ancient corpses he had painstakingly refined were obliterated.

It was not until dawn the following day, when the first ray of sunlight spread across the vast land, that the two people who had stood motionless in the sky for an entire day and night discovered that the demonic aura covering half the heavens had vanished. It was as though it had never appeared, leaving not the slightest trace behind.

“Lanmei, if life in the marquis’s residence truly makes you unhappy, I will take you away when the time comes.” In the darkness, Yuanniang’s soft voice drifted over.

This era had no rabies vaccines, but it did have rabies—and, of course, the rabid dogs following behind. Lin Jiaren was already exhausted beyond measure. He was even seeing double, and distinguishing east from west was certainly beyond him.

She faintly felt as though her entire body were immersed in a sea of flames—scorching, burning, blistering—only to find herself at times in an icy wilderness, cold and pierced by pain. Her consciousness remained clear, but she was trapped within these hallucinations and unable to awaken. At the same time, she knew that she was currently existing in the form of a spirit within her own mental world.

When Yuanniang arrived at Madam Dong’s residence, she saw only Lanmei and Yuyan kneeling in the central hall. Their hair hung loose, their clothes were torn, and their heads were bowed. It was not until Yuanniang entered that Lanmei’s body gave a faint tremor.

During her idle moments, Yuanniang suddenly found herself wondering what the man she had teased was doing now. She could not help smiling inwardly. Could it be that she had simply encountered too few men, and that was why she had become like this?

No one cared who the black-clad man was. What mattered was that Chushi’s being rescued by him at the outset could be nothing good. If Chushi were released, would he not bring disaster upon the continent? When that happened, who could possibly restrain such a powerful life-form?

Lin Jiaren looked left and right. With so many people around, how the hell was he supposed to know whom the man was calling? He immediately decided to ignore him and walk away, but the girl who had been clearing the path for him did not move.
