Chapter Thirty-Three: Qi Hui's Well-Intentioned Efforts
"The guest drawn by little Mu You is—"
The host held the drawing rod, deliberately drawing out the final syllable to build suspense.
At this moment, among the young guests, only Jin Yiyi and Mu You remained without a partner.
As for the adult guests, only Qi Hui and Peter Lin were left.
Naturally, Jin Yiyi hoped with all her heart to be paired with her idol, Qi Hui.
Moreover, she did not particularly want to be paired with Lin Zimu’s father; it wasn't that she disliked him, but it just felt a bit awkward.
"The host's primary divine power is not yet sufficient to be wielded with your current strength, so it remains latent for now," the fake system said.
At this point, the seal on An Fan'yi had been completely removed, and her cultivation had returned to its original state. Thus, holding the Bright Moon Palace Mirror, she was fully capable of preventing Tian Guiren from assassinating Liang Xiao.
When the giant serpent discovered it was Cao Yan approaching the biological pod, it immediately lowered its guard, nodded in salute, and then retreated back into the black mist.
Logically, he was not the kind of man to be swayed so easily, but this time, he was determined to be impulsive for once.
Seeing that Wang Bo no longer opposed the idea of Li Xing staying in Taiwan, Gao Zerui felt anxious, yet for a moment, he did not know how to persuade Li Xing to change his decision.
Just then, he heard Duan De’s voice: "You don’t need to snatch this. I have a letter here; take it to Xuanyuan Xiangcheng, and he will give you the item. I will call him shortly."
During his first few days in Demon-Slaughter City, although Liang Xiao rarely stepped outside, he had heard many tales about the talented youths of various races. This was the best of times, and the worst of times; if these people truly lived up to their reputations, then Demon-Slaughter City was currently crawling with geniuses and monsters.
Bull sharks are one of the few species that actively attack humans. The children finally realized the danger and began to panic.
Everyone was shocked; no one expected that the youth before them was the mastermind stirring up such chaos.
Here, however, the sun was bright, and the air was filled with the essence of nature. The fragrance of the grass, the proud posture of the flowers, the whispering of bees, and the comfort of the breeze brushing against one's cheeks—everything that the Monster Forest should have but lacked, could be found here. And what was found here, the Monster Forest did not necessarily possess.
Finally, Fujiwara Sai mentioned matters regarding the new Hokage and offered blessings to the two candidates for the position, Dongfang Yunyang and Akiyama Nagaru.
Daimoto Kakoto arrived at the training ground. Seeing the chaotic state of the area, he guessed that Dongfang Yunyang had been practicing ninjutsu beforehand. He was quite impressed; the fact that Dongfang Yunyang worked so hard to practice on his own was enough to show his attitude toward ninjutsu.
She sat in the rest area with a sorrowful expression, her eyes drifting toward the distance, her brows furrowed, and her lips pursed. Wu Yifan, having never seen her like this before, felt a chord in his heart plucked by an invisible hand.
Meanwhile, Princess Hongyi was shocked to hear that Empress Wannian Feng was still alive. How many more secrets were hidden within this palace? She had been completely unaware of such a major event.
Lan Xinyan silently lit a cigarette and took a sharp drag: "Being played for a fool by students, where is the dignity of a teacher? I want to kill myself."
The Toad Brothers and the Reincarnation Group followed Dongfang Yunyang and the main Akatsuki force. They could now be considered the core combat strength of the Ninth Ninja Division. Under Dongfang Yunyang’s command, their target was clear: the enemy’s main ninja units.
"Don't worry, Daoist Gao. You will certainly be on the list the day after tomorrow! I only hope the Gao family will continue to look after us in the future..." The servant bowed his head with a fawning smile, clearly trying to curry favor with Gao Sheng.
After the previous naval battle, Yamamoto Isoroku grew increasingly confident in the Vanguard Army’s weaponry. Therefore, he abandoned his schemes, intending to use his full might and superior firepower to crush the American resistance head-on.
"I’m not making a scene! Yue Li said she has a way to solve this problem! If she said so, she can definitely do it!" Ai Qi said angrily.
It must be said that the effect of "Ten Thousand Miles Without a Trace" was explosive. The trio sped along, crossing all obstacles and reaching the main city in a few minutes. At the same time, Qu Bo’s stamina was completely drained, and his speed inevitably slowed down.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhan Feng reached out to open the wooden box, but because it had been corroded for so long, it crumbled into wood shavings the moment he touched it. Simultaneously, three pale green jade slips appeared before Zhan Feng’s eyes.
Hua Mulan almost spat out her tea again. She hurriedly set the cup down, swearing to herself that she would never drink tea again.
The several elders frowned one after another, and an aura no weaker than the sturdy man’s burst forth.
He stared at the iron-like mountain, his face gloomy, and took a step toward the stairs outside the mountain gate.
Liu Lang was about to step forward to slay the blood bat, but when he glanced behind it, his expression changed drastically.
Hearing Lin Tao’s voice, Lin Hai nodded in sudden realization. However, immediately afterward, the brows on Lin Hai’s face knit together.
From the moment he was knocked into the trap, his death was sealed. The Boss tried to get up, but every movement was interrupted by Qu Bo; even using skills to defend was to no avail.
However, when he released his divine sense to scan the nearby ground, he found no traces of anyone having been there, which made him narrow his eyes and fall into confusion once more.
Although this move was a "performance," if they wanted to make everyone believe it—or rather, make most of the enemy panic—the pressure on the navy was immense. These sailors were elites that the imperial court had painstakingly trained; Jiang Lue would rather let the army besieging Pyongyang die to the last man than see the navy suffer such heavy casualties.
The Demon race were the indigenous inhabitants of the Central Domain. Their strength was terrifying, but their power drew the jealousy of gods and demons, leading to their near-extinction. Any remaining demons might be hiding in some dark corner of the Central Domain, or perhaps they had already taken root in the native world.
The Wraith Chief could also use a Wraith Wail, but its version was far more powerful, with a wider range. Beyond its original properties, it also carried additional damage and a knock-back effect.
"Sect Master, it's right here! That traitor is on the stage!" A clamor of voices rose from beneath the stage. It seemed that many more people had swarmed in.
