"The Heavenly Emperor's eighteenth princess?" Jue Hao gently stroked the slender, suddenly stiff body in his arms, seductively lifting his slender eyes. His purple gaze burned with an ethereal allure, rippling water-like eyes shifting with emotion, the corners of his lips curling into a faint, cold smile as his handsome eyes narrowed slightly.

The wooden door creaked open, and my headlights beamed into the shop. Looking inside, there were numerous paper funeral offerings. Some were white, some green, and others gold and silver. There were paper houses, cars, gold ingots, and a multitude of other strange items.

As the master of a valley, Mayin Si was naturally accustomed to concealing his emotions after years of discipline. Although today's major upheaval caused him to momentarily lose his composure, after suffering a personal setback, he managed to regain his outward calm. He walked with measured steps onto the stage, fed his beloved son a red pellet, and escorted him back to his residence in the Returning Heaven Ring Pavilion.

If I handled the reception, it truly wouldn't be an issue. I knew far too much about her affairs. Ning Dongsheng had told me all the details back then. Therefore, the core focus of my divination would be to determine whether her child was genuinely being adversely affected by her ex-wife and the ex-wife's children.

Taking another look, Li Yi gasped inwardly. Wasn't that teacher none other than his own homeroom teacher? How did he manage to come up here?

"Three months. Three months from now, I will definitely make something of myself, and everything will be fine by then," Li Yi said.

"Just now, the guards were chasing me." Diexue stood on her injured foot, disconsolately drawing circles on the ground. It was supposed to be a minor matter, but it had turned into such a mess. To say she wasn't embarrassed would be a lie, especially standing right in front of him now, which made her feel even more mortified. Suddenly, she began to resent him—if he hadn't sent people to look for her, would she have ended up in this state?

After taking care of business, the two of us took a shower and went out to find a roadside stall for a late-night snack. These snack stalls had already started opening around the eighth day of the lunar new year, so the streets were quite lively at night. After eating a steaming bowl of spicy hot pot, the two of us drove toward Flying Tiger Mountain.

Jiro Kameda knew that Zhou You wasn't making empty threats. He gave a cold snort to Zhou You and President Sakuragi, then strode directly into the hotel.

Next, she needed to carefully consider how to leave this spatial realm. She remembered Magu repeatedly instructing her before departure not to stay in one place for too long. Considering how long she had just spent sparring with the giant, her top priority was to leave this place as soon as possible and find another safe haven.

Lü Tianhou, a supreme powerhouse ranking in the top five of the Alchemist Alliance, possessing the late Sword Spirit realm cultivation and proficient in both alchemy and martial arts, had arrived.

"You endured over half a year of hardship in the Su Corporation just to make the slightest bit of progress. Won't you regret it?" To give it up just like that—surely there would be regrets?

The waiter winced in pain and collapsed to the ground. The surrounding waiters hurriedly rushed over to help him aside, and no one dared to try and stop Zhang San and his companion again.

Watching the young lord of the Heaven-Swallowing Clan left him speechless. Those treasures were useless to Qin Xiang, but they were useful to him, weren't they? However, he naturally wouldn't dare say such a thing to Qin Xiang. His life was in the other's hands right now—did he still dare to covet treasures?

The sect masters of the other seven sects also nodded in agreement, sharing the same view as the Master of the Philosophers' Academy.

A flicker of hope ignited in Yang Ruofeng's heart. If that was truly the case, the Bai family must have believed his previous fabricated remarks and summoned representatives from the other eleven families to discuss the matter.

Near the central region of the mystic realm, beside the corpse of an ape-like demonic beast, Li Xiang sat on the ground, holding an ape jade carving in his hand with a look of utter delight.

"I beg you, don't keep talking..." Uttering these words once more, Su Nai's tone carried a hint of pleading, her voice tinged with a faint sob.

"Is he truly the man who raised and cared for me for so many years?" Gazing at the Southern King, Nangong Luojing knitted her brows tightly, unable to believe what she was hearing.

As Long Quanqing said this, a look of vigilance already crept over his face. He took a couple of steps back, only to almost trip over a protruding thick tree root on the ground, looking rather disheveled.

"Exactly. Why don't I tag along?" Hearing this, Gu Changshi felt his eldest brother made sense, and quickly set down his savory meal to say.

Di Shiyan used the same trick, approaching Qian Zhe and the others to place the Illusion-Fixing Pearl near their ears. Before long, all four of them woke up one after another.

This gave the principality's cities an atmosphere vastly different from the rest of the kingdom, a distinction particularly pronounced at the Dragon-Breaking Fortress.

"No problem." Wei Xin's gaze pierced past Zhao Qiijia's shoulder, fixing on Qiuyue behind him with a smile.

Previously, it had always been Jiang Wang and Wei Mingxiang locking horns directly, while he merely sat back to watch the tigers fight from the mountain.

"Do people just stay in their rooms the whole time while on the boat? That must be so boring." After gazing at the lake for a moment, Gu Shuangtao suddenly turned her head, asking with a face full of curiosity.

On the ground, everything was utterly obliterated. Amidst countless broken walls and ruins, only a massive abyss, a hundred zhang wide, remained.

Moreover, this gadget was exorbitantly expensive. Those who traded it in secret multiplied the price severalfold.

"Well, didn't Xu-digger remain unmarried as well? Could it be that he harbors such wicked intentions too?" Gu Shuangtao suddenly raised her head to look at the two people opposite her and asked.

Luhanzhou, scolded to a pulp, picked up the flashlight: If I turned on the lights, how could I catch you in the act?

After wandering around for a long time, a group of people suddenly slowly approached Murong Qingran from not far away. She glanced around; apart from the gates of the Imperial Noble Consort's Palace, there were only rockeries and lake water, with nowhere else to hide. If she were to dodge now, wouldn't she be mistaken for an assassin?

Just as she was feeling vexed, the wind chimes in front of the coffee shop jingled. Following the sound, her gaze met with the newcomer's. Racking her brains, she recalled no prior memory of ever seeing this person.

If that spaceship couldn't be found, it meant that more than a decade of travel had been in vain, and all hope of returning to Earth would be shattered. How could Chen Qiang not be anxious and worried?

An Ruoyi's attitude of "I am jealous and proud of it" left Zhou Hanichen momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

At the same time, many people comforted themselves with such thoughts: a blind cat running into a dead mouse, could a simple massage really ward off evil and cure illnesses?

Chu Mu and the others' expressions remained unchanged, but the next moment, Chu Mu inquired about the corpse poison.

Cang Xue had been secretly following Murong Qingran. He had no idea that the death of Yuye could bring her such profound shock.
