Volume 1, Chapter 26: That’s Just My Cup of Tea

Ye Chen struck, and the heavens crumbled and the earth split asunder. His power was extraordinarily terrifying, a world of difference from the version of him that appeared before Li Mengyao. His golden, radiant fists hammered out continuously, causing the void to explode with a force even more fearsome than before.

You Jingyan had noticed this issue himself; perhaps it was simply because his mindset had matured somewhat.

"If you go, you are only throwing your lives away." These five could easily annihilate the three of them. Forced into a corner, Qi Xuanyi had no choice but to use the power of the Snow Treasure Palace to whisk everyone away. Yet, at that very moment, three other strands of energy intertwined, instantly clashing against the power of the five. Dugu Hao, Hong Shi, and Feng Shi appeared before the group.

Seeing that Long Qinghao, like Long Qingyang, was also dressed in luxurious attire, Long Leiming’s gaze turned peculiar.

"Senior Brother, you know that Master hasn't taught me much in the past six months. Haven't I been busy helping him manage the shop?" Li Yunhui said, "I know it hasn't been easy for you. Fine, take me to see it now." No sooner had he said this than they heard Huo Yan’s voice outside.

An Nianchu did not know what kind of trick he was playing, so she approached him with great caution, reaching out to touch the keys. For the first time ever, he merely curled his lips into a smile without making any physical move, which put her more at ease, and her movements began to grow bolder.

Long Qingchen rolled his eyes inwardly; this Sect Master of the Ziwei Sect was not just thick-skinned, but truly knew how to climb the pole as soon as it was offered.

Relying on the token in his hand, Qiu Xuan’s path was entirely unobstructed. Who didn't know that the current commander of the City Guard, Qiu Xuan, was a favorite of the Emperor? Moreover, he was the Inspector of the Realm, a figure in charge of all officials; how could they not let him in? They were desperate to curry favor with him.

Upon realizing that he was safe as long as he did not step out of this space, which was less than a meter wide, Qiu Xuan felt at ease and began to meditate. He sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes closed, recovering his strength. In this place where the passage of time was unknown, he had no idea how long he had stayed or how long he had been cultivating.

Yun Ci paid no further mind to Li Yunhui. After listening to him, he walked toward the backyard.

"When will I ever have the strength of the boss..." The members of the Dragon Team saw how formidable Lin Tian was, wiping out seven cultivators in a single move—one of whom was even at the Exit Aperture stage. Among them, the highest was only at the Golden Core stage, not even having reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Amidst such dense affection, Wuyunzhu became pregnant again in early March of the following year, only four months after her previous miscarriage.

Another palm strike landed, and the cultivators on the ground could no longer spare the energy to channel spiritual power to the one at the Exit Aperture stage, scrambling instead to resist the fierce handprint.

Caught in her grief, Chen Mohan did not understand the meaning behind her young master’s words and could only continue to weep uncontrollably.

"Come, let’s rest for a moment." As we reached the mountainside, seeing me slightly out of breath, Zhou Yaze suggested.

Ignoring the dirt, she dusted the ashes off the bedding on the bed, helped Sizhen sit down, and found an old piece of clothing in the room to plug the window where the paper had been blown away.

The Captain-General leaned on his cane, his eyes heavy with rage as he watched the scene. Everything in Seireitei was constructed from spirit particles and should not have been afraid of damage, but such wide-scale destruction had left nothing behind.

In the Third World, among the top ten, all except for the one ranked second were cultivators from the Holy See.

A bitter feeling flooded his chest; his sea of consciousness was almost completely shattered. It was a miracle that he had remained conscious at all, and the situation before him seemed like a miracle among miracles.

The Crown Princess had expected Leng Yan to humiliate her, but to her surprise, he said nothing, simply looking at her. This allowed the uneasy Crown Princess to gradually calm down. She knew—she knew that Leng Yan had many things to say to her, yet he said nothing and simply walked away.

"But... there are nearly a hundred Demonic Sect disciples inside the Kaiyang Tower. And we..." Having finished, Qiu Ningxue looked back at the exhausted disciples of the Plum Blossom Manor.

Ye Mo naturally would not tell the truth about this, so... the result was self-evident: the old man could not extract anything useful from him.

Outside the welfare institute, Lin Yunyun stared at Gu Nan for a while, her gaze slightly unfocused. Just as she was about to ask in confusion, she saw that he had already recovered.

As they were talking, a man in a Western-style suit hurried over, followed by his assistant. Seeing the old man sitting there full of vigor, he was also somewhat astonished.

The skin and flesh on the left side of Old Four’s face were forcibly torn away by a massive force, revealing the countless pulsing blood vessels and fractured facial bones beneath.

When Shen Linfeng first followed Kong Hai up the mountain, he had seen three upright stone pillars at the foot of the mountain. At the time, Kong Hai told him that they were the Nether Fox Steles! They were used to commemorate Snow Foxes that bore special missions.

If the White Tiger Alliance truly betrayed him, Su Ye had enough power to make them pay an extremely painful price.

Recently, Jiang Yun had not come over much because every time she did, she would wear see-through outfits. There was no helping it; that was just Tai Yingqi’s quirk. In truth, she was usually quite dignified and truly a graceful and luxurious princess, except when she invited Jiang Yun to drink; that was when she would act up.

"This good-for-nothing, embarrassing me again! No, I can't spoil him anymore; I must punish him severely this time," Wang Dafang thought to himself.

During this period, the entire Doumu platform, from top to bottom, was busy working on this matter. The promotion had been prepared overnight as early as Friday night, the very night the contract was signed.

At this moment, even after the shop owner apologized profusely, the few professionals remained unrelenting.

People were even scrambling to listen to the advertisements, and it was the entire audience—that kind of intense demand was something seen with one's own eyes. Even so, it made everyone begin to doubt reality, thinking that the way it had been presented must have been wrong.

However, just as Shui Qixing was preparing to charge and take over the match, he glanced to the side to see someone else following closely behind.

By April 9th, the Invitation Wine Festival was nearing its end. Some of the restaurants and merchants invited to score the second round had also arrived in Yizhen one after another, bringing a new wave of crowds to the festival.
