Cha Cha was led away to change into a goose-yellow cotton outfit. The shop assistant thoughtfully found two duckling hair clips and placed them in her hair, turning Cha Cha into a soft, adorable little yellow duck.
The clerk could barely suppress a scream; heavens, she had never seen such a cute child—she was like a little angel!
Across from him, Xuan Tianyue stood unsteadily, supported by Xiangxiang’s body. The intermittent sound of a piano still circled in his mind, leaving him feeling vexed. Yet, in his daze, he still saw people standing beside Murong Hanxian, which lifted his spirits. "Brother Lin? Why... why are you here?"
I said, "If you don't believe me, you can go inside and look." But you are a snake; how can you go in without legs?
Tang Lou watched the five elders, acting like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and became increasingly convinced that the other side also had their own reservations.
The Great King had a slender build. Against the light, his face was obscured, but the pure golden afterglow seemed to drape over him, casting a soft, hazy radiance that appeared to emanate from within his very body, making it impossible to look away.
Meeting by chance and spending only a few days together, he never imagined he could meet two such people. He secretly resolved that he must live up to their high expectations and break through to the Earth Realm. If he could return alive from the battlefield, he would gladly serve them as a beast of burden for the rest of his life.
One must know that Liang Beidou was a prodigy of Yuting, the master of the Fighting Altar, and the son of a Star Lord—identities others would grovel to obtain—yet he was easily subdued by Tang Lou after a sound thrashing.
The green ox was eating heartily, and its daily sleep time had lengthened; sometimes, it would still be lying on the ground fast asleep when the sun was high in the sky.
She had long since stopped wanting to please the Empress Dowager, but today was the first time she had defied her. Though she felt a bit nervous, her words flowed out without the slightest stutter.
Du Tiancheng glanced at the enemy-braced Shajun City ahead, a sigh of reflection crossing his mind. If it were he leading the troops, would he have the courage to wander right beneath the city walls, flaunting a posture of "come and fight me if you dare," knowing the enemy held several times his own numbers?
Princess Sucheng gritted her teeth, vaulted onto her horse, and looked back with lingering resentment, pointing her whip at Shen Qingyan: "Just you wait, I don't believe—" Before she could finish, she lashed her horse and rode off in a fury.
This action had saved the four of them for the moment, but the greater danger remained. Only thirty seconds later, the sphere developed countless spiderweb cracks; it had been melted by the magma until only a thin layer of stone skin remained.
However, once the spectacle had been watched for a while, there was nothing left to be amazed by. People returned to their own affairs, only discussing it in snippets after meals.
After getting food and returning to my room, Qiu Bo stayed fearfully away from me. He didn't dare enter, but stayed by the door, likely wanting to persuade me while terrified of the giant snake, pacing back and forth outside.
Nearly ten thousand pairs of eyes were focused on the two students. Sounds of envy, admiration, cheering, and encouragement filled the air.

Babaer shook his head and said, "Pear Blossom Village is a paradise; it is a place I should not disturb. If those with ulterior motives find out I am there, they will surely bring blood and chaos, inviting disaster. I am leaving.
