Of course, besides recovery spheres, energy spheres were also necessary. After all, during the healing process, it was crucial to maintain the patient's vital signs.

It wasn't until Jinggu You departed that they heard the sudden roar and the sweeping aftermath of his fist wind.

Moreover, these were merely fifteen endorsements, with several more currently under negotiation. However, filming for all these endorsements would have to be squeezed into whatever spare time he had during drama shoots.

Having busied himself for the past half-year, Seo Hyun-seok planned to take a good rest for the remainder of his time, focusing first on putting some meat back on his bones, lest he be criticized for feeling too bony and harsh to the touch when embracing this pair of sisters.

Nowadays, whenever Ye Xiu uttered even slightly sensitive words, Li Xiang would seriously consider how to respond. She always felt like whatever he said had a double meaning.

Going all out, Jinggu You stomped two deep craters into the ground. As the earth shattered, his figure shot straight into the sky like a cannonball propelled by gunpowder.

The minotaur monster's reply caused the withered wooden carving to burst into wild laughter. Yet, even in its laughter, there was an endless wave of killing intent and mockery.

Jinggu You could sense that with every sweep of the thunder spear, the heavy, archaic golden giant bell surrounding him was being penetrated a fraction deeper. He even discovered that the thunder spear was adapting to the protective barrier.

Seo Hyun-seok felt that his film crew had really grown complacent. Achieving four million in box office numbers under such circumstances was already an exceptional result.

As they walked down the street, He Fangbo smiled and said, "Let's go eat some mutton skewers!" Li Zhenguo nodded and replied, "Alright! Let's go eat mutton skewers." Arriving in front of a barbecue restaurant, where many people were still dining, they sat down at an empty table.

When she shouldn't have blindly relied on her maternal family, she did; yet when she actually needed to rely on them, she stayed silent. If she had only spoken to them earlier, how could things have ever come to such a disastrous pass today?

Tang Ming's mental fortress was shattered by Zhang Zeng in an instant. At that moment, he felt a loosening in his lower body, and a reek of urine emanated from him.

Chu Jin had tried his best to pull his trousers back up, but due to his injuries, the result was somewhat crooked and twisted.

The Taoist priest brushed past the crowd and arrived before the otter's corpse. Forming a fire incantation with one hand, he pushed it forward, and the body burst into roaring flames, reducing the otter to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Since Madam Song had unceremoniously extorted her birthday gift from her, she had to find a way to recoup her losses with interest.

"Alright, you will be commended tomorrow and granted some time off," Zeng Yu said.

Carefully sensing her condition, she felt no stomachache, no nausea, and absolutely no discomfort. In fact, a faint warmth was radiating from her stomach throughout her entire body.

After pondering for a moment, remembering that Luo Luo hadn't visited in a while, she decided to bring her a treat, ordering a mango crepe and a tiramisu to go.

Previously, Tian Mingzi had striven to keep Xiao Chen away from this vortex, but now, Xiao Chen was at the very center of it all, and avoidance was no longer possible.

Sitting behind his desk, Chu Jin listened to the murmurs of the two people, the corners of his mouth curving upward in an irrepressible smile.

Mount Emei and Mount Qingcheng were not far apart. Thus, before Chen Xing had even finished his fun, the two Taoist priests ahead had already waited for them, announcing that Mount Emei had arrived and it was time to disembark.

"Pfft, hahaha! Then you're just jealous of yourself. Apart from you figuring it out on your own, how could anyone else possibly help you?" Han Yimo said with an unreserved laugh.

"Ma'am, do you have any money on you?" Ah Kai suddenly motioned toward the guards outside the door.

"There's no need, they've already come in..." Just as Ye Xingchen finished speaking calmly, Su Shan and Murong Yu walked in. Murong Yu walked behind with perfect gentlemanly manners. As soon as Su Shan stepped through the door, her gaze swept across the surroundings, and she abruptly spotted a familiar figure—none other than Ye Xingchen.

The vanguard officer's face turned ashen, and he retreated with a desolate expression. Not long after, a gunshot rang out from outside the tent, and a personal guard rushed in to report that the officer had committed suicide.

The old woman spoke these words extremely slowly and gently, as if she were recounting her own romance to someone.

"Sir, you were the one who said that as long as I obeyed you, you would help me see the Prince of War." Lin Yingying looked at Lord Shu, her pretty face flushed red. "Isn't Sir trying to deal with the Prince of War's consort? The consort is now pregnant, and I am willing to help you..." A dark glimmer flashed across her eyes, tinged with a hint of malice.

As Jian Xin spoke, her voice gradually trailed off, and the smile on her face carried a trace of sorrow.

Several days passed, and Luo Xiaopu still remained missing. Yet, strangely enough, Luo Yutian never troubled Ye Xingchen again, leaving Ye Xingchen deeply puzzled. Could it be that the other party had already approached him and reached some sort of agreement? Or perhaps he simply did not care about Luo Xiaopu's life or death at all?

"Luo Qi, do you truly love this man?" Behind her, Chu Tianyang pursued the question with reluctant persistence.

"Ning'er!" He gripped her hand back, feeling deeply moved. He had never imagined that upon emerging from the operating room in this lifetime, he would hear such news.

"What do you mean by that?" His repeated counter-question truly left her speechless. In the past, he would never have mindlessly repeated questions like a fool.

Even though Chuyu was a year older than him, in his eyes, she was no different from a little sister.

Zhou Xun had not hidden the orphanage matter from Lan Nan and the others, and his identity as gay had been openly disclosed to Lan Nan from the very beginning. He did not know why—perhaps out of an intuitive kinship between their kind, or perhaps simply as he claimed, he genuinely needed a friend.

"Bang!" Before the words had even faded, a loud crash echoed as Li Yan cleaved the coffin lid open with a single palm strike. Before anyone could recover their senses, the notoriously germ-phobic young lord aggressively pulled the charred, horribly disfigured, and foul-smelling corpse directly out of the coffin.

Ruan Xinru was startled at first, wanting to mock his ignorance and fearlessness. However, having already suffered losses at his hands, she increasingly felt that this youth possessed numerous unknown and novel skills. Since he could boast so shamelessly, he must, like his martial arts, have something formidable to rely on.

The serpent-eagle brother was frightened by Xiling Jing and knew it was unwise to linger, so he gritted his teeth and fled in panic with his pack once more.

"My mother is waiting for me at home!" Lin Yuanlan was caught in a dilemma. It wasn't that she deliberately wanted to refuse, but she genuinely felt awkward going out alone with him.

"Then don't protect me! I never asked you to protect me." With that, she turned and ran outside without looking back.

Ling Baolu nodded, quietly sipping her beverage as she gazed at the distant, shimmering surface of the lake where people were boating, creating a cozy and pleasant atmosphere.

Where did this hostility come from? One part was the hatred of a man daring to kill him and seeking revenge, while the other part was his prey—clearly right before his eyes, about to be shot down—only for this sudden giant to appear and disrupt his hunting game. This constituted his second grievance.
