66 Awkward

With a low growl, he tossed the unconscious beauty aside and turned his gaze toward Master Liu.

With this thought in mind, Qin Zheng flicked his consciousness, focusing on the scroll floating within the sea of his heart.

Although Qi Yuan was in a bizarre state at the moment, his combat prowess had also diminished, failing to match the formidable might he displayed when deterring the three Earth Immortals of the Azure Jade Sect.

A wolf launched a surprise attack from her left side while another flanked her from the right, leaving her overwhelmed and struggling to cope.

Holding Wen Chao in her grip, Ling Xi felt a wave of relief wash over her upon confirming that he was merely unconscious and not in mortal danger.

The power of the Divine Unity Realm erupted, sending down streaks of sword Qi that struck with pinpoint accuracy among the countless fiends and specters. Pierced by the sword aura, they dissolved into continuous streams of Qi, transforming instantly into billowing ash.

There are a few things Mr. Mo said that I find exceptionally profound: while your parents are alive, do not travel far, and a teacher for a day is a father for life.

Yet here I was, completely uninjured, appearing in such a ghost town. Could it be that I had remained unconscious the entire time while being healed, only to be abducted by a mysterious organization to play a real-life Squid Game?

He was seen holding a straw stand bristling with dozens of candied hawthorns in one hand, while using the other to grasp a single skewer, attempting to cram it into Leng Lingxue’s mouth.

In that span of time, it would have been more than enough for me to tear straight through their formations back and forth several times over within the chaotic battlefield.

Upon entering the stone chamber, she sat cross-legged on the stone platform to cultivate. As her mind gradually settled, the spiritual Qi throughout the chamber began to stir, swirling ceaselessly around her before surging into her body.

Originally, Ji Zheng had faked his death to evade accountability from the Prime Minister. By pinning his own death on Chu Tiankuo, he sought to curry favor with the Prime Minister and prevent him from acting against the Juanyi Mountain Villa. Later on, once it was verified that Chu Tiankuo was not the crown prince, the Prime Minister ceased his intentions to kill him.

Wang Xue felt a deep sense of despair and terror, but fortunately, she was wearing long trousers; as long as she betrayed no unusual behavior, no one would notice.

Knowing she could not escape the blast radius of the talisman, Zhong Xingyue simply gave up running. Instead, she grabbed the frenzied and enraged assassin, slashing a dagger across his throat. The assassin died on the spot, whereupon Zhong Xingyue dragged his corpse open, crawled inside, and pressed herself flat against the ground.

Upon catching sight of those smooth, rounded shoulders, Mao Mao was startled and hurriedly spun his entire body around.

Shaohua did not know how to ride a horse, but because Mo Nansheng had entered, she was forced to sit outside with the coachman to drive the carriage. The previous skirmish had left the coachman deeply shaken, and his hands trembled incessantly as he gripped the reins.

"Bai Bai? I contributed too, you know?" Rong Xi said with a beaming smile, clearly radiating a reluctance to marry.

The alarm clock rang at twelve, a reminder Liang Qian had set to enforce her regular bedtime routine.

She had gone to the Zhan family under the guise of Fourth Young Master Zhan's fiancee, never expecting that her affection for Senior Yichu would also come to his knowledge.

Looking back now, he truly realized how arduous this journey had been. Yet, no matter how he felt, everything had changed and reality had transformed into this; all he needed to do was simply enjoy his life.

Meanwhile, the secret stronghold of the Mo family remained completely unaware that beneath the tranquil night, a massive storm was brewing—a tempest fierce enough to obliterate their entire clan.

As for the current battle situation, with the fleeing of those Reaper Beasts, everything could finally be said to have concluded. A great war had thus been defused into nothingness, successfully resolving the impending trouble.

The opponent's strength was far too formidable; if they had intended to harm him, they would not have bothered with such complicated measures. Therefore, Ye Kong felt no anxiety regarding any potential treachery, sitting composedly and serenely with an air of self-contentment.

Suddenly, Kirino frowned slightly, watching thoughtfully as the approaching figures of Ele and Emilia drew nearer.

Abruptly, the massive form ahead shuddered—a precursor to awakening. It seemed that even without spiritual attachment, that ring still maintained some ethereal, destined connection with it.

Over the Rat-Wolf Pass, a patch of Buddha-light roughly an acre in size slammed viciously into the ground, gouging out a giant crater seven or eight fathoms deep.

"Sister Yun'er, don't go. This fellow is undoubtedly being instigated by that Yan Jin to test your depth," Lin Yuxi said.

The two of them leaped into the air simultaneously, executing a spin as their fused-energy wings manifested. Flapping them vigorously, they transformed into twin red streaks and charged toward the Star Sovereign. Holding the divine sword Titan, Muye was already enveloped in a gathered gale of fierce momentum as he flew.

The array-chariots deployed by the Celestial Master Mansion this time differed from previous occasions; the twenty-five disciples on the lowest tier were all at the second stage of immortality, the five on the second tier were at the third stage, and those on the third tier were the absolute cream of the crop among the third-stage immortals.

She was clearly handling it well, or at least Lu Zhixi's tone had softened. But before An Luochu could catch her breath, she saw Gu Yangchen approaching alongside the two Zhong sisters.

"You've finally come!" The "Flirting Buddha" smiled benevolently at Long Can'er, then spread both palms, upon each of which rested a faint, fragile divine soul. "Place them in a warm spot!" The Buddha looked upon the divine soul in his right hand with overflowing affection. Upon hearing this, Green Leaf hurriedly swallowed the two divine souls into her belly.

Catching sight of the sandy beach and the vast ocean, a smile bloomed on Lin Xinyao's lips. Just a few days prior, she had casually remarked about wanting to see the sea, never expecting Wen Qiuyan to actually bring her here.

"You don't need to worry, I'll make the arrangements," Gu Yangchen assumed she was dreading facing the press.

I had no idea what was happening; all the wounds across my body seemed to have torn open anew. Eventually, I simply could not walk any further, yet Zhang Sen, despite having immense stamina, did not abandon me, continuing to drag me forward with agonizing difficulty.

Lu Zhixi accepted it, while An Luochu rummaged through her bag and fished out a few coins. Thankfully, she had thought to bring some change for that pervert before setting out. The thought left An Luochu somewhat melancholic, her gaze drifting toward the wedding ring on her finger with a trace of desolation.

"Brother Monkey..." With an expression of awkwardness, Chen Si and Liu Zi stepped forward respectfully to greet him, though for a moment they had no idea how to explain themselves. After all, Monkey was one of Li Chenggang's men, and Zhang Yadong was also under Li Chenggang. This situation was terribly difficult to handle.

Xia Ruiyan struggled to conceal the joy in her heart; it seemed she had yet another excuse to seek out Senior Brother Yilu. She had to make the most of this opportunity, otherwise, it would be a terrible disservice to her cousin. Her mental calculations clicked and clacked merrily away.

"What's wrong?" Aunt Xu looked at her son, who was slumped on the floor leaning against the mirror in a deep sleep, her expression overflowing with anxious concern.

"Gu Yangchen, how on earth did you manage to find such authentic home-cooked porridge?" An Luochu asked, a flicker of delight mixing with her curiosity, as this hardly seemed to match Gu Yangchen's usual tastes.

Han Yifeng abruptly closed his exhausted eyes, drawing in a deep breath. After a long moment, he opened them again, casually tossing the photograph aside. Ignoring the presence of Xi Xinyi entirely, he strode resolutely forward.
