Chapter 57: Her Demand

However, all of this was his responsibility. As the heir of the Tang family, if he lacked even this much capability, what kind of future could he possibly have?

According to modern time, it was just past nine o'clock in the evening, and the city's nightlife had not yet begun.

Seeing him muster so much effort just to say those words, Yan Niang found it both amusing and strangely touching. She could only say, "Fine! Just don't act like a shameless scoundrel the way you did just now!" Her remark caused Zhang Ruyun to instinctively scratch the back of his head and laugh awkwardly.

"Of course it's you. Who else would you want to marry?" Su Mu lowered his head to plant a kiss on her soft cheek and said with a smile.

Seeing that his self-control was on the verge of complete collapse, Su Mu hurriedly released her rosy lips, taking deep, ragged breaths.

Zhuo Qingdong uttered a single word, and a brilliant radiance erupted from his body, enveloping Xiao Ran and transforming into a projection, while his true physical form remained within the grand hall.

Right now, she had no time to settle old scores with Lu Li, because Lu Li hoisted her up in one smooth motion, carried her all the way to the top floor of the Admiring Moon Tower, and then decisively set her down right on the railing.

Listening to those harsh and ugly curses, Li Suyue turned as pale as a sheet, subconsciously looking toward Ye Lingyuan.

To the Civet Tiger's utter surprise, Feng Le gave precisely this answer. The beast froze in place for a long time, its expression filled with profound desolation.

Staring into the bottomless, gloomy pit, and then looking at the downward-sloping path paved entirely with human skeletons, a wave of unspeakable and indescribable emotions suddenly welled up in everyone's hearts.

After a long while, the phone by his ear continued to play its endless, flowing melody! Ji Shangnan, having reached the limit of his patience, tossed the phone aside.

"There is no need to dwell on this. Since the matter is already in the past, isn't Brother Yunfeng safe and sound now? Rather, the four elders should focus on properly recovering from their injuries," the Dragon King said.

Looking at the reply text message from Luo Jinshi, the corners of Ji Shangnan's mouth curled up slightly as his fingers immediately danced across his phone screen.

Tch, I'm certainly not afraid of you now. You're not the Crown Prince anyway. By the way, what on earth do you do for a living? Lin Yuxin asked.

However, after the horse had come to a halt, this phantom suddenly appeared directly behind it and viciously lashed it with a whip. Driven mad by the fierce blow, the horse bolted forward in a wild, frantic rush. At this point, even if Nie Feng wanted to stop the horse, it had already become an impossible luxury.

"Senior, the students at our academy have always regarded both of you as role models to look up to and as the objects of their utmost respect. How can they possibly stomach words like yours? If they were to find out how the two of you are acting right now, who knows what they would think?" Luo Dao said.

Although Feng Le was slightly taken aback inwardly, looking at Mu Lu's expression, no matter how he looked at it, it spelled trouble. He therefore made a prompt and decisive refusal.

Watching the human-shaped figures of the Green Dragon and the Crimson Phoenix gradually weaken in power, Dark Spirit and Liuying did not hold back. Liuying's Divine Origin Spear roared through the air once more, hurtling straight toward the fire-phoenix entity.

"Were those your classmates?" Zhao Guodong patted the dust off his knees, though his legs had grown somewhat numb from kneeling for so long.

"You've done quite well throughout the entire day today," Ye枫 nodded, gazing down at the three figures sprawled on the ground.

"Since you and I are already good friends, Sister, there is no need to be so formal." Yun Xiao affectionately pulled her down to sit, while Qiuyue promptly served the tea.

Many things cannot simply be learned by just watching. Otherwise, e-sports would never have officially become one of the recognized athletic sports.

Seeing that Li Ye put on no airs whatsoever, Huanxue and Qiuqing felt a warm glow in their hearts. A son-in-law who was both easy to talk to and knew how to cherish people was truly a blessing cultivated over three lifetimes.

"Every gloomy, narrow alleyway looks exactly the same. I hope I don't take a wrong turn," Yun Xiao muttered anxiously as she walked forward.

Secondly, Uncle Zhang was unwilling to see Ye Ying fight such a lonely battle all by himself. Thus, Uncle Zhang had remained entirely silent along the journey. Naturally, Ye Ying was well aware of what Uncle Zhang was worrying about, but what could he possibly say?

With human figures completely scarce, Dan Jinrui had long since vanished from sight, while Liu Moyuan, after finishing the pigeon whose flavor had already deteriorated, meticulously cleared away all traces of the meal.

This was something he had planned out beforehand. He felt a bit embarrassed about mentioning inside the stream that he wanted the Sea King to help explain things for him, which was why he had called the Sea King out to speak with him in private.

His body transformed into a streak of white light. Triggering the 'Instantaneous Movement' technique, he vanished from the cultivation chamber, flashing continuously through the air amidst crackling bolts of lightning toward the headquarters of the Sorcerers' Guild.

In the past, each of his flights could only last for a few dozen meters, but this time, it seemed he could sustain it for hundreds of meters, or even further.

The Black-Horned Python of the present was already over twenty meters long; yet, standing before the Void-Demon Dragon Bak, it was as fragile as a mere earthworm.

At this moment, elite masters from various major provinces were stepping forward to exchange greetings with the aged city lord and the imperial preceptor, offering an endless stream of flattering words.

Perhaps this wasn't even flattery; he genuinely held Lu Chunqiu in the highest regard. It was he who had recommended Lu Chunqiu, and ultimately Ji Mincai had pulled strings to secure his services.

Sun Wukong reached out his hand to grab it, but a sudden flash of white light erupted from the white skull. Sun Wukong abruptly felt a blinding white glare fill his vision, as if he had been instantly transported to another realm.

This was the terrifying aspect of high-level Ice Grand Knights. As long as their ice-attribute battle qi remained unexhausted, they could forge an impregnable defense out of pure frost—a defensive barrier that could be replenished at any moment.

In other words, once the gene pool was unlocked, he would be completely capable of controlling the traits of other organisms?

"Even if you figure out where the Demon and Fiend Grand Path is, with the path being so vast, where on earth are you going to find Yang Jian?" Sun Wukong continued.

Upon returning to Miracle City, he immediately headed to the city's blacksmith department, which handled equipment manufacturing and repair. Because Miracle City served as a crucial military stronghold, the Blacksmith Guild had no presence here, making the blacksmith department the largest concentration of smiths in the area.
