Princess Zhaohua was particularly curious about Sang Zhi’s pregnancy. Perhaps for fear of accidentally hurting her, the Princess, who previously would have sat intimately beside Sang Zhi, stayed a full three steps away today.
The more Xu Lingling listened, the redder her eyes became. She did not fear for her own reputation, but she dreaded seeing Lin Jiang slandered.
His shouting immediately attracted a crowd of nosy onlookers, who stopped one after another to gather around.
When a divine statue is left unvenerated for a long time, the celestial spirit departs from it; people typically cover such statues with red cloth.
It was not as if the previous owner hadn’t hired masters to examine the place, but those so-called experts had all been scared off, fleeing in terror.
One was a distinguished member of Tianlai, while the other was merely someone brought along by Young Master Zhou, unable to even afford a membership.
Immortal Lord Bishui’s mouth twitched upon hearing the price; he thought to himself that his disciple truly loved to play.
Unlike Old Yu, who would fly into a rage at the slightest disagreement, Teacher Wu remained relatively patient with him.
Qin Ran’s expression was stern. With another flick of his intent, the colossal Mountain and River Cauldron emitted a dazzling light. Moving with undiminished speed, it slammed directly into one of the Ice-Spine Apes, causing it to let out a wail, while the other ape surged forward violently, carried by a frigid gale.
Yet she completely failed to notice that Lu Zaishang’s face had darkened the moment he heard these words.
At the same time, where the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect lay shrouded in ultimate darkness, shrill alarms and signal flares rang out. Countless figures in black slaughtered the patrol guards outside the sect and broke through the gates.
Simultaneously, the Ice Empress erupted with a brilliant, ice-white radiance. The temperature in the air plummeted at an incredible rate, dropping to minus two hundred degrees in the blink of an eye.
"Lu Xuan? He’s quite good. Among this batch of students, his fundamentals should be the best. Later, I will focus on training and developing his dribbling and shooting skills," Qian Quan replied truthfully.

Yu Shuang paid it no mind and continued, "As for what you just said, I believe I explained it that very day. I must protect myself; I cannot simply allow others to spread malicious rumors about me behind my back."
To date, Shui Yue’er already possessed an external spirit bone (mermaid tail), an Evil Eye Tyrant head bone, a giant octopus right arm bone, a Demon Orca King left arm bone, as well as a left leg bone and a right leg bone—only a torso bone was missing.
Upon learning of this, the Old Madam was furious. She had believed Gu Jingyu would be a powerful tool to restrain Gu Chunnian, thinking that his presence would make Gu Chunnian more cautious.
Igarashi Yugiri strained to lean his upper body back at an impossible angle, blood rushing to his face, and just barely managed to dodge.
Just then, a man walked into the courtyard and grabbed Wenren Qingyi’s arm. Only then did she withdraw her hand, looking quite unconvinced.
As a Beast of Fortune and a darling of fate, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni had never encountered anything unpleasant, so she could not control her emotions when faced with such tragic circumstances.
In the world of darkness, an ecosystem of a Dark Extreme North had already formed, and the Ice Bear King was the first dark spirit beast within it.
"Fate... awakening? What strange things are you talking about?" Remilia blinked, puzzled.
Song Yiyi knew of the matter and had specifically sent Zhou Ying—previously a lackey of Liu Xinhe—to visit her. With no one else to turn to, Liu Xinhe naturally did not want to let the opportunity slip, and the two had reconciled as before.
Seeing Lin Qingfeng’s state, the group dared not ask anything, their gazes inevitably falling upon Yu Li, for at that moment, only he was qualified to pose a question.
"I want to. But let the matter of Feng Yutian be resolved first, and let my face return to its original state. Not everyone believes in this kind of disguise. I believe my parents are very simple!" Gu Meng concluded, following her intuition.
As for the Wrathful Flame Monkey’s thoughts on its offspring, it felt that since it had no goals of its own in life and had now reached a certain level of cultivation, it was time to consider the future of its progeny.
It stood to reason that these people were all lackeys of Ling Jing, hiding around Su Garden to keep watch. Her and Jin Liunian’s appearance, coupled with the crying of the wet nurses, had likely alerted them, leading to the current scene.

Slowly, he stepped through the doorway. The two followed immediately, and upon entering, they felt a faint, oppressive atmosphere inside.
The behavior of the Wrathful Flame Monkey suddenly became incomprehensible. A look of embarrassment appeared on its furry face, which turned as red as a ripe apple—truly resembling a monkey’s backside.
"And yet you try to drive people away, as if you don't want to see them." Qiao’er’s thin, red lips curled into an alluring smile, her hand brushing against Ye Tianyu’s, whether intentionally or not.
Sima Shang seemed to have expected that Shang Fusu would not keep him waiting. Seeing the two arrive, he merely smiled faintly and greeted them both with polite bows, not at all like a man whose territory was under siege by a massive army.
If there was one thing that distinguished this island from others, it was the enormous ancient tree growing in its center, which resembled a "Money Tree." There had to be a reason it was chosen by the Blood Demon.
Li Mu, bold and skilled, charged straight down, his hand glowing with a white light that illuminated the surroundings.
"Is this all you have? You call yourself a master of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, yet you use this wheel-tactic to exhaust my strength. Are you terrified of me?" Li Mu mocked.
"Let's go!" The young man, seeing Su Yan’s indifferent expression, felt his anger flare even more. Still, he suppressed it with a cold snort, leaped onto his horse, and left on his own.
The red-haired man naturally did not hold Zhao Yan in high regard. Although he was not the leader of the dungeon slaves, as long as Mad Dragon did not oppose him, no one dared to resist or even speak a word against him. The consequence of doing so would be two deep lash marks left upon one’s body.
