Chapter 42: Tang Wanrou

By now, Yu Ling could no longer remember the name of the lead actor from that drama.

He could hardly be blamed; truthfully, the lead actor’s screen time was pitifully sparse, rendering him quite insignificant.

However, Yu Ling still remembered the intense backlash that followed the show's broadcast.

The internet was flooded with overwhelming negative trending topics and scathing insults. Countless netizens criticized the show for deliberately corrupting social values and fostering a culture of money worship and materialism.

To successfully refine the Qilin Fire, the first step is to purify the volatile elements contained within it. The powerhouses of the past all overlooked this, which ultimately led to their downfall as mere puppets of the Qilin.

He knew he wasn't ready yet; he lacked the ability to hold her in his arms and shield her under his protection. But he believed that one day, he would make himself strong—strong enough to possess the power to keep her safely under his wing.

Seeing the young master's serious resolve to buy her a house, Lin Xinyao was completely flustered.

The centipede demon, with the body of a human and the tail of a centipede, was filled with murderous intent. The rage in its eyes seemed capable of incinerating Zhiling and Chuan Jiemu. It flicked its tongue against the corners of its mouth and stared at them with a vicious expression. "The price for killing my brother is for me to tear you limb from limb!" it roared at Zhiling and Chuan Jiemu.

"As expected of the finest spiritual pill for aiding breakthroughs—the Jinwan Pill. What incredible efficacy." Ye Feng tucked the remaining Jinwan Pill back into his robes, sighing with irrepressible excitement.

Zhiling rolled her eyes at Chuan Jiemu in annoyance. "You really are a chatterbox. I’m going to find food; do you expect to starve? Even if you don't eat, I still need to." She waved the wild pheasant in her hand at him, looking visibly irritated by his incessant talk.

With that, Niu Er bid farewell to his father-in-law, led his guard, and departed Niu Village, traveling through the night to return to Chentang Pass.

Yet, after waiting for a long time, he still didn't see Lin Xinyao enter. Recalling the grim look on her face earlier, he began to grow anxious.

Li Zi pointed to the ground not far from me. I looked over and saw Qiu Yunfeng lying there, covered in blood, gasping for air, his eyes fixed on me in sheer terror.

It turned out that Tang Ao had discovered the ambush in time; with a single swing of his lance, he severed the rope, causing the attacker to lunge at nothing.

"Sprouting always takes time. It needs sufficient strength to grow," Yan Jiujiu said with remarkable patience.

Unfortunately, life could not remain sweet forever; the detestable Hua Ningxin had arrived to make her presence known once again.

At this moment, some of the middle and high-level officials from the Mine Management Committee joined in the shouting, and in the end, even the ordinary staff expressed their willingness to obey all arrangements.

Starry Sky posted a "head-patting" image: "Fairy, face reality. You’ve practiced cultivation in vain. Fairy Zixia is the true path to proper cultivation."

But apart from the Hidden Leaf Village dispatching Jiraiya and Kakashi Hatake to gather intelligence, only the Hidden Cloud Village had any manpower to spare.

In the distance, at the seats originally belonging to Cangnan, Gu Xiu was drawing his bow and arrow. His weapon, too, had been seized from others.

They had never seen anyone so arrogant. If you aren't satisfied, use your own cultivation pressure to suppress him back; what is the point of just shouting and clamoring?

Pan Zhan frowned and then said, "You are in your twenties now, aren't you? Based on your current cultivation, how far do you think you can go? Two meridians or three?"

Upon hearing this appointment, the other generals could not help but exhale in relief. Some even exaggeratedly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their hearts.

In truth, they could not be blamed. They were still in the outer ring of Paradise City and had yet to enter the inner city. Furthermore, Paradise City had just been built, and being located in such a remote area, it was unlikely that anyone would pay attention to a newly established city with no reputation. Consequently, none of the major guilds had set up branch offices there.
