Volume 1, Chapter 23: A Bountiful Harvest!

Everyone was on the verge of madness! No one could accept that the sisters, friends, and loved ones they spent their days with would suddenly burst into a mist of blood before their eyes, vanishing from this world forever.

Unfortunately, although the Sage of the Six Paths’ physical body had perished, his spiritual energy remained indestructible. Now, hidden away in some unknown location, there was no one to help Du Chong unravel this mystery, leaving him to solve it on his own.

LeBlanc quietly siphoned off a portion of the demonic energy and prepared to open the door. Just then, the door swung open, and a beautiful youth in ornate robes stepped out, holding a doll that looked profoundly uncanny.

"How about I get you a pack of cigarettes? You can smoke one while you wait for your meal?" The owner’s face had already darkened.

The next second, with a clear ring, the demon blade slid completely into its scabbard, extinguishing its final glint of light.

On a colossal planet, Ning Yitian felt the crushing pressure of space and realized he would have to start his cultivation from scratch here.

The sky gradually dimmed. The April grasslands still held a chilly gloom, and the breeze blowing in carried a damp scent; it seemed a heavy rain was inevitable tonight.

Yu Xie cleverly deduced that her martial uncle had recognized her, so she was no longer afraid of being abrupt... and threw herself straight into his arms. The man’s embrace was broad and warm, and the faint scent of purple bamboo enveloped her, bringing a profound sense of peace.

She was saying, "I have discovered some things about you, but I do not know if I should tell you."

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Is there no sense of order here? I am the one who has known Geng Qiang the longest!" Liu Qingping muttered as she pushed him aside. She grabbed Geng Qiang’s hand and called for Geng Fen, then headed outside.

"Very well! Since you choose to live, you must pass my three trials," Meng Wuya said coldly.

Ji Shisheng responded, his tone a degree colder than before, revealing nothing of his joy or anger.

"Bang!" The mud ball crumbled into loose dirt, indistinguishable from the earth surrounding it.

The Howling Celestial Dog was baffled. What was going on? Why did Ao Cunxin seem to flicker in and out of existence?

The promise of a Venerable made some of the ten people with Jiang Ping gasp for air; it was only when they realized it that they reined in their chaotic breathing.

Several of them were out for a joyride in a seven-seater vehicle of unknown origin when Ling Chen suddenly received a message from Zi Yun, the captain of the Purple Cloud Wireless Company.

"My profession requires a great deal of experimentation; children with unsteady hands simply cannot do it," he teased her.

The restaurant was high-end, featuring the sound of a live pianist. Lie Xiaoruan’s gaze swept directly toward the booths near the window.

"Then I am truly puzzled." Ling Chen was somewhat surprised; he had assumed these two were looking for a partnership, especially since, given the current situation among the adventurers in this scenario, "Slumber" had already become the dominant force.

Han Yunzhi and Dong Xuan’er—the latter was of no concern, but the former had deep ties to Han Li, and he truly could not just ignore her.

"Nothing is impossible..." Jiang Chou turned, took a deep breath to shake the blood drops from his blade, and extended his sword-wielding right hand forward, level with his shoulder.

Jiang Chou knew the man was the sect leader of the Sky Crane Pavilion. Including Qin Mu, two elders of the Sky Crane Pavilion had already died at his hands. Even if killing them had not been his intent, he felt he should say something to He Muyu.

Shen Miao watched anxiously from the shore, unable to care about anything else now. She stepped into the blood-colored swamp, which was so sticky that every step felt as if it were trying to drag her beneath the earth.

After leaving Sun Yanling’s room, she returned to her own, set out a table of wine and food, and drank in solitary, moody silence.

She then announced to the aunts and older women that the goods had sold well, thanks to everyone’s hard work, and that today they would slaughter a pig to divide the meat and kimchi.

After a moment’s thought, she bought a box of anti-inflammatory and hemostatic medicine, repackaging it so that no one could tell it was a modern product.

Shen Miao wasn't truly angry at them; she just didn't want them to learn how to get something for nothing. Later, she took the cubs to the river to catch plenty of fish, preparing a delicious grilled fish meal that left the cubs with full, rounded bellies.

Others might not have understood these words, but Xu Jingluo certainly did. What Xu Jingting feared most was that she would expose Xu Wanjun’s embezzlement, causing her to lose her wealth and status.

Even though Shen Miao was capable now and found it easy to earn beast crystals, with food more than enough to go around, Qing Chen still felt a sense of unease in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lang was astonished and immediately nodded; this draw was much better than the previous three.

It was currently daytime, and the cross-fish should not appear, so Yu Tian planned to go out for a stroll with Zhuge Qifei.

Having killed their son, even if there was enmity between both sides, they couldn't just swagger around the enemy's doorstep, could they?

After hearing Lu Sheng’s words, Xiao Dongshu looked once more toward Xiao Jingxuan on the ice stone bed.

The campfire flickered, having burned all afternoon. The icicles on Duan Pengfei’s body showed no signs of melting. Liu Ergou wasn't one for sentimentality, but seeing Duan Pengfei in this state, he couldn't help but mutter a few words.

"Look at this!" Chang Sheng, who was right next to Ishihara, suddenly struck him with a green ball of light from his palm.

The Tiger King immediately opened his blood-red maw, and a terrifying suction erupted, as if it could swallow everything.

"Boss, we came here because we heard there was a Lake God. Could you tell us the story of the Lake God?" Yu Tian wanted to learn more about the cross-fish and intended to fish for information from the owner.

Kong Mu and Young Master Xuanmu glared. This Qin Yin’s reputation was even more resounding than that of Envoy Luoda or Daoist Yunwang.

At the time, Lei Zhen had said as much directly. Although he was only at the late stage of Phantom Yin, Gu Lie had always felt he was hiding something; otherwise, he could not have possessed such abilities. The others did not doubt Gu Lie’s words in the slightest, agreeing without a single objection.

The transformed black cat did look a bit like a leopard, but upon closer inspection, it was still clearly a cat.

It was said to be Long Yinxie’s territory, but in reality, it was just like any ordinary nomadic household, only the tents were a bit larger, the materials a bit better, and there were more of them.

"First, I would like to thank all the players for their attention and support for the NNA League, and thank the operation officials of the Reincarnation World and the intelligent systems for their support..." The opening remarks were as unoriginal and bureaucratic as ever. However, habit had become second nature, and the players listened on with patience.

He Ya gestured lightly, and a golden longbow appeared in her hand. As she drew the string, a golden arrow manifested. Without a second thought, He Ya fired three arrows in succession at the space below.
