In reality, only people like Yang Dahuang—gluttonous, lazy, and given to petty theft—would not care about Ye Shanghan moving the planting base away from Kusang Village. And only someone utterly ignorant of the law like Tiedan could naively believe that as long as the entire village was sufficiently united, they could prevent Ye Shanghan from relocating the planting base.
Yet, who could have ever imagined that the owner of this stone did not even look back, nor raise a hand, and didn't even blink an eyelid.
Before long, the village engulfed by flames had long since become dilapidated and ruined. Dozens of villagers were running wildly outward, but Livell discovered that the faces of these running villagers were filled with terror, as if a demon were pursuing them from behind.

One could see that the air surrounding the cave was frozen to the point of making cracking sounds, with ice crystals continuously falling; it had grown so cold that even the moisture in the air was instantly frozen solid.
Bai Shizu had originally felt a trace of softness in his heart, but upon hearing Mu Xinping's insinuation, he began to feel that Lady Lu was being somewhat unreasonable. Knowing full well that he was in a bad mood after being injured and felt distressed at the sight of her, she still came over to make a scene every single day—wasn't this deliberately trying to humiliate him?
Suddenly, a hint of a smile appeared on Su Binghuai's face. Wasn't he the true heir of the Mu Corporation?
"You are very good," Ryan slowly said, and with a wave of his hand, the pair of piles of powder began to coalesce again, forming a table and chairs.

Li Feng cast a glance toward the entrance—it was the Bai family again. Why did he run into people from the Bai family everywhere he went?

Every single one of them was bruised and battered, suffering heavy injuries.
Who could have expected that as soon as Han Xue's words left her mouth, not only did the two men show no trace of fear, but instead, as if they had heard some grand joke, they burst into loud laughter.
"This..." Nangong Xue stared at the cave full of magic bats with a frightened expression, drew her side weapon, and swept her cold gaze across the creatures.
Li Ming used his third eye to duel with the lotus; while it might not be a complete victory, it was at least a close match.
