Chu Renmei cast a fearful glance at Lu Zhengyi and the black cat perched on his shoulder. In silence, she picked up the tablet, moved a chair toward the corner of the room, and sat down.

“Third Brother, what are you talking about?” Yu Jin asked, her clear eyes gleaming with bewilderment.

News that the Li Group had begun venturing into the film and television industry had been circulating to some extent within their circle lately.

When Huang Huai saw the Slaughtering Bodhisattva, he could not help freezing in surprise. Clearly, he had never expected the Bodhisattva to appear without a sound.

From the beginning until now, half of his inner strength had been absorbed. Yet his opponent’s blade aura was already more than three times stronger than it had been at the start.

He had vanished for so long that Huang Huai did not believe Daoist Datong and his parents could have failed to guess that he might have left the mortal world. After all, so many wondrous creatures that existed only in myths and legends had appeared; Daoist Datong and the others had no choice but to entertain that possibility.

As for Lord Guan revealing the strength of the Imperial Lord realm, no one was overly surprised. In their eyes, it was only natural for Lord Guan to possess such power. Otherwise, Huang Huai could never have had the strength to slay the Great Yan Imperial Lord.

Although Hengshan Fort still stood, Liu Qi could already vaguely sense the despair blooming in Wei Xiuyue’s heart.

Just as the two clung to each other, whispering tenderly, a sudden melody drifted toward them. Ethereal as though it had descended from the clouds, distant and melodious, it instantly drew their minds back to reality.

“Yi’s abilities are far too strange. Even Zining has admitted outright that she is no match for him at present. If that fellow enters the arena, what means do you think he will use to win? When the time comes, he will bring us enormous trouble!” Ned spoke at last. Clearly, he was deeply wary of Yi as well.

“Do you think those two can really help us in Vastheaven City?” A flicker of emotion passed through Feng Jiuyou’s dark eyes as she spoke indifferently. “It would be better to send them to her side. Perhaps that would give her some peace of mind.”

“Of course! If I do not go, I am afraid this palace banquet will not even be able to take place,” Rong Qian said calmly.

Mu Tian gazed dreamily at the white clouds in the sky with her phoenix eyes, imagining them transforming into Ye Wuning’s face. Suddenly, her mood shifted. From the summit of Ox-Nose Peak, she flew directly into the boundless rice fields below and crouched before a large blue-gray ox grazing beside the ridge.

“There is nothing I can do. Every cell in my body likes only your wild, savage energy. I have fallen into your hands for this entire life; there is no chance of turning the tables.” As he spoke, he lowered his head and began nibbling restlessly at my neck.

I only remembered drinking at a bar. How had I come back? What exactly had happened in between?

At the end of the great grassland stood a mountain range. Once one crossed it, one would reach the border of the Dragon Kingdom.

In his eyes, this was precisely the situation she wanted. If he acted according to her wishes, would that not suit her perfectly? How could she misunderstand him? Perhaps she was delighted beyond words.

Thus, Murong Yinzhu turned back and winked at Lin Chenqing before continuing on her way.

“All right. I’m here. Let’s begin.” Ghost Butterfly prepared herself for battle. Otherwise, if Huo Haoduo ambushed her later, he could not complain that his opponent had failed to announce the start.

The moment she finished speaking, she distinctly felt all the bodyguards before her turn toward her in unison, examining her from head to toe.

Still, the spell was quite useful. There were many irritating barriers within that mountain range, and with this spell, their efficiency would clearly improve considerably.

“Um… Uncle Ye Feng said he wanted you to buy me a car, and a decent one at that, so I can drive it to work.” With her head lowered, Yu Xin mumbled shyly. Before she could finish, her face had already flushed crimson.

The bedding gradually grew warmer, enveloping her in comforting heat and allowing sleep to surge over her even more recklessly.

“Do not worry about that. This old monk has his own plans.” Dingyuan suddenly knitted his brows and fixed Wang Mu with a meaningful stare. There was a weighty note in his low voice.

Chen Lei had just been preparing to order their arrest when something happened that made everyone present frown.

Wang Qifa looked extremely unpleasant. He cursed Wu Haiyang inwardly, wondering what kind of fool would put on airs to the point of looking down on the renowned Divine Doctor Qin.

Wang Ying’s five disciples and the auditing students had all arrived. Violet, his formal disciple, was naturally rushing about nearby, frantically occupied with one task after another.

Because Li Shang had been under the protection of bodyguards, he had not immediately digested the alcohol he had swallowed. As a result, he was now thoroughly drunk and could not sense anyone outside at all.

The spirit beast obediently nodded. I was just about to speak when I suddenly felt the last trace of water-elemental force within the ice seed completely absorbed by the stone ring. At that moment, the spirit tiger before me let out a resentful whimper. Its enormous body transformed into a streak of white light and vanished in an instant, burrowing into the stone ring around my wrist.

It would be unreasonable to say that Tiger Snake was fighting Leopard Tiger for the latter’s business empire. However, it was entirely possible for Second Madam to contend with Eighteenth Lady over the family fortune. Second Madam was at a disadvantage in many respects: Eighteenth Lady possessed a marriage certificate with Leopard Tiger, while she did not; Eighteenth Lady was carrying Leopard Tiger’s child, while she was not. In both regards, Eighteenth Lady posed a genuine threat to her claim on the family estate.
