“Then was it because the girl who pursued you had already left that you chose not to accept her?” The Old Master had said he was advising her as someone who had been through it himself, so he must have faced the same emotional dilemma she was now confronting.
The court’s recess would not end until after the Lantern Festival. For Zhou Guangchen to enter the palace at a time like this, something unusual must have happened.
Zhou Yi knew that his best option was to leap aside, but doing so would leave him entangled with Sapp behind him, and he would no longer be able to stop Lagabu’s advance. Thus, he made a choice entirely beyond his opponent’s expectations.
Zhou Yi darted wildly across the snowy ground beneath the night sky. He needed to find, somewhere in the nearby forest, a tree that was six hundred and sixty-six years old and had been struck by lightning six times. According to Nan Chi, such a tree symbolized death in the Western cultivation world, though Zhou Yi had no idea how reliable that claim was.
Because of this, the smile on Chu Xiangyi’s face grew warmer. Seeing it, Chu Tian became even more certain that his earlier assumption had been correct: ever since he had come here, the time he spent accompanying her had steadily diminished, leaving her somewhat unhappy.
Sensitive by nature, Liao Jinghong was deeply displeased. Though she knew Ling Xi had not meant it, in her eyes, Ling Xi was clearly showing Lian Rong a little more consideration.
“You keep going. Don’t mind me.” Lin Xiao smiled and patted Sushi on the head before sitting beside it and continuing to practice controlling the power of the Waveguide.
Gao Qian removed the mana magazine from the specially made magic-guided firearm after its energy had been exhausted, then replaced it with a fire-magic magazine connected to the fire-element interface on the expanded magazine chamber.
Before they set out, Perfected Zi Qian had already given a detailed account of the location of Venerable Dongming’s Blue Jade Island. Yet it lay more than ten thousand miles from the coast, in the midst of the boundless sea. Determining the direction required the utmost precision; the slightest deviation would lead them a thousand miles astray.
Ye Ye gave an indifferent response. Han Chuming added, “Do you want to study here? If you do, you can attend the same school as your brother.” Ye Ye agreed to his suggestion, and Mother Ye immediately brightened. “Then we’ll go buy clothes this afternoon. I’ve never bought Ye Ye any clothes before.” No one objected, so the whole family went shopping for clothes that afternoon.
“Qiqi, you’ve taken in a new pet. If you don’t train it properly now, it won’t be easy to control later. Go.”
This time, Li Tian did not indulge Qiqi. Before she could react, he sent her straight back to the Starship.
He had never believed in those two words. At worst, he would expend a little effort later to alter the man’s memories. Altering memories was not the same as erasing consciousness, and hardly counted as a troublesome matter.

By contrast, Old Master Bei was in remarkably high spirits at that moment. When he saw the vigorous young Zhang Chen, the old man could not stop nodding approvingly.
Seeing that his first punch had missed, Feng Suixing followed with another. He Wàngshu showed not the slightest bearing of a profoundly cultivated expert, using Wu Qiufang as a shield and refusing to expose himself to danger in the least.
Fu Yanhan had originally been inexplicably irritated, but when he saw that she had been completely exhausted by his torment and was far more obedient than she had been in her earlier stubborn state, he could not bring himself to reprimand her further. He merely stroked her soft cheek.
As for whether throwing such a high-ranking official out would have a good or bad effect, that was not something Zhang Chen considered.
As for the group of disheveled old men and the leopard’s corpse, they had already been secretly transported to INSERM’s experimental base, where their identities, cultivation levels, and origins would be determined.
Although the other party was an adult, if the relationship was consensual, even the law would not hold him responsible.
Applause suddenly broke out. It was both a birthday celebration for Kang Jiawei and praise for Li Shijing’s thoughtfulness.
The Great Thunderclap Monastery hung above the Emei Mountains, vast beyond measure. High in the sky, several creatures were also gazing down upon the mountain range.
The quasi-sage law descended once more. The White Elephant Demon Venerable had no time even to catch his breath, and erupted with all the remaining fifty percent of his demonic soul force, holding the quasi-sage law at bay.
Someone suddenly let out a furious roar, and immediately afterward, countless prodigies and monstrous geniuses launched attacks toward the front.
As this strand of divine sense entered, Ruosi’s vital essence gradually began to steady. At the same time, that aura seemed to weaken once more.
If he had not possessed x-ray vision, Lin Ruofeng would never have discovered any of this. Even if someone had told him, he would not have believed it.

“Damn it! They’re simply courting death! Do they really think that these are the only methods I, Que Luo, possess? I’ll make them understand what regret means!”
Que Luo was utterly enraged.
At that moment, Chu Junyue spoke unexpectedly. He turned his face toward her, a teasing smile resting at the corners of his lips, while his eyes were filled with quiet tenderness.
Although she, too, felt sorry for Qi Yan and Zhao Liuxian, the truth remained that Liuxian’er was dead. The thoughts of the real Liuxian were gone.
Chu Junyue seemed genuinely to have gone away on a long journey. He had not come to disturb her for several days. As for Chunyu Yan, perhaps because he had injured the precious egg, he had sent someone over with a chest of gemstones and then failed to appear again.
Later, after conquering Manzhou, they had no choice but to expand their ranks, recruiting quite a number of disciples locally in Manzhou.
Accepting the three tower jades the other party handed him, Qin Feng’s lips curled into the faintest smile. He said nothing, merely looking at the other person with a smile.
Yet he was even more shaken than his former self had been in his previous life. What kind of world existed beyond the heavens?
The happier he was, the more he needed to learn to cherish it and understand how to seize every minute and every second of that happiness.
With a soft crack, the body before him suddenly burst apart, transforming into a dense surge of energy that rushed toward Xu Han.
