The man in black seemed to feel the pain, his brow furrowing slightly, yet he was overwhelmingly weak and unconscious.
“We must hurry,” Sheng Xiayan whispered, then drew a dagger. After briefly warming and disinfecting it over a firelighter, she carefully sliced open the wound around the arrow.
Blood surged out instantly, staining her fingertips red.
Unhurried and steady, she pressed on the wound with one hand while swiftly pulling out the arrow with the other.
...
A strong aura of hostility emanated from the body—an aura repugnant, paid for by countless innocent lives.
She sought to find any trace of a beast’s presence to prove what she had witnessed earlier.
“I-I’ll go take a bath now,” Huo Fangyi’s heart pounded wildly, cold sweat pouring down uncontrollably. He turned and rushed into the bathroom, stripping completely and tossing his clothes into a basin outside.
“So you really can’t know when to quit? This scumbag even bought her a lot of things,” Yin Ying said bluntly.
She looked at He Xie’s sharply contoured face mischievously, then lifted her feet to gently pinch his cheeks, turning his handsome face toward her.
A high school student had displayed a level of strength surpassing advanced creatures in the Evolution Science college entrance exam.

“Master Bai, just say what you need us to do—we’ll definitely help,” Chun Tao said simply, feeling Bai Yunrui was easy to get along with, readily agreeing to everything.
Bai Xiaosen, however, seemed not to understand, rambling about work-related matters and never getting to the point.
After the imperial physician’s treatment, although Zhao Qian had regained consciousness, he still spent most of the time in a drowsy state.
Those who had suffered serious injuries earlier or had new wounds from recent battles were all sent here after the medical system was restored.
At that moment, Song Ningyu beside Song Chaoyang tugged his sleeve and whispered a few words.
Bai Feiran was about to jump out but was stopped by the secret guards hidden by Puyang Xu, thus unintentionally becoming involved in Puyang Xu’s plan.
Who had so confidently promised not to report to Han Shangong just now? Luoyu really wanted to bang his head against a pillar and give up with eyes closed.
He quickly withdrew his hand, took a few steps back in fright, breathed heavily, then steadied himself with a deep breath.
Xumo Bai, having been fed a lot of ‘sweet talk,’ poured a glass of water to dilute the cloying sweetness and signal to the elderly couple that he had returned.
Yet what followed was confusion and helplessness, for the White Shark clan of the demon soul had lived near Sea God Island for ten thousand years. Now that they had left, where else could they find a home?

The mountain forest was moist and lush, the greenery vibrant. Shen Tingnian was so pleased he kept smiling as he personally served Puyang Xu his meal.
The babbling stream was crisp and melodious, a gentle breeze brushed their faces, and the two chatted leisurely about all sorts of things.
Empress Dowager Cixi kicked Li Lianying to the ground. Fortunately, Cixi had taken off her flowerpot shoes and was wearing thick socks, while Li Lianying rose with a sly grin.
She walked to the riverbank, set down the animal hide, picked up a relatively flat stick, and began scrubbing the meat scraps and blood stains off the hide by hand.
Tonight’s gathering was a private affair; if it weren’t for Madam Lin’s personal invitation, she wouldn’t have wanted to attend.
Almost instinctively, she made a defensive move, turning her body aside to avoid disaster.
The originally quiet and empty courtyard erupted into loud howls from Ying Ye upon hearing her footsteps.
Indeed, cultivators did not need to rest at night like mortals; there was still plenty of time. She should have realized earlier it wouldn’t be so easy to shake them off.
Lian Yunsheng estimated that although the secret realm within the cauldron only contained strange magical creatures, the extraordinary information it revealed was far superior to that of the novice zone in Lian’s Village’s supernatural world.
