Early the next morning, Xu Lie first went to He Xinya's house to pick up Wen Ning and took her to the new store.

Luo Shui also announced that Yun Qiong Lingtian and Hai Xinglian would both be appointed as elders of Luomin Island, bringing the total number of elders on the island to ten.

After parting ways with Gong Zhanyu, she went to a nearby mall to buy some clothes, then checked into a hotel nearby.

Anyone with eyes could see what William’s true intentions were behind his covert actions.

Wang Fang had no idea about Qin Yu’s background or that she’d never had friends before. She didn’t realize that Qin Yu was speaking not just of romantic feelings, but also of the bond between friends.

The blonde woman said, "I don’t like cake, nor any food in this world. Enjoy it yourselves," and walked away.

If war broke out, it would be a bloody battle, potentially resulting in the complete annihilation of the Beast Kingdom’s army.

"Alright, I’ll get the first aid kit and help you clean up," Zhan Mianmian said, getting up briskly.

"To answer the abbot, during my covert investigation of the fire demon Yan Sen's hideout, my cover was blown. I was discovered by a Daoist from the Netherworld Sect, who then seriously injured me, and Yan Sen and his senior disciple later subdued me and planted a fire gu poison within my body."

Furthermore, the so-called holy son would eventually leave Nanmo Mountain, either joining a stronger sect or entering some mysterious forces in Central Continent.

During this period, although there were special powers separating the human and heavenly realms, they weren’t completely isolated.

A candied hawthorn skewer was held up to Yang Duo’er’s mouth. After a moment of hesitation, she took a bite, her expression betraying the intense flavor, much to the dismay of Seventh Master, who stretched his neck out to snatch one for himself, clutching Liu Mang's hand with both of his.

Fire and lightning erupted, and the griffins cried out in pain as they plummeted, with the wizards atop them scattering across the ground.

The moment the stream opened, the number of viewers surged instantly. Within seconds, it skyrocketed to tens of thousands, then soared to hundreds of thousands at a crazed pace.

Bu Er instantly recalled the matter of investigating his sect's *Three Flower Cave* and Li Qingyun’s defection to Dawei Peak.

Seeing this, the Bull Demon King leaned against a distant rock wall, looking melancholic, with a blade of grass in his mouth, which he’d lit, puffing smoke.

Wu Shuo’s laughter came to an abrupt halt as a figure flickered before him—Lu Lianlan appeared like a celestial being fallen to the mortal world, untouched even in the eerie aura surrounding her.

He had noticed a few of the unique moon pools upon arriving, which were said to channel the essence of moonlight into flowing water. Out of curiosity, he probed them slightly, discovering that they contained a trace of Dao rhythm.

Three hundred sixty-three thousand! This was the first time he had seen so much cash stacked together. Unlike an intangible number, this money had weight, and he felt it on his shoulders, yet it didn’t feel burdensome at all; he knew the significance of the wealth he was carrying.

Currently lacking powerful strength, the Feathered Serpent God acted without restraint, planning to dispose of him after making full use of him.

A group of dragonfolk disciples immediately gathered around, ready to assist any wounded ability users. However, the Jin clan’s patriarch merely raised his hand lightly to stop them.

Long Yunfeng floated in midair, his once-weak aura flaring up brilliantly, causing the mountains and rivers to crack and shatter around him. The fate of the empire seemed tied to his own: *If I perish, so does the world.*

Ling Xiao's entire body surged with energy, causing the surrounding void to shake violently. In an instant, he unleashed hundreds of punches, each punch forming golden mountains that bore down with unstoppable force.

"Of course, and occurrences like this happen nearly every second around the world. You just haven’t experienced them, so you’re unaware," Dong Dong said.

Han Chengxun wasn’t particularly invested in seeing Kim Taeyeon. He had briefly considered whether she might be taken away, but figured he would feel better if he searched here first—just in case it was a diversion tactic.

Upon hearing the news, Lu Yan’s face turned ashen, as if the slap that sent his subordinate flying had landed directly on his own face.

Yan Jun felt dazed as he was swept along by the ocean current, lucky to have a Water Breath Gu or he would have drowned. His body bore numerous cuts, through which golden pathways snaked in, ravaging his insides.

"It’s nothing, I just saw something familiar," Ha Yu explained lightly, then focused entirely on the scene, wanting to gauge the true strength of Long Yunfeng—or perhaps the power of Eastern Immortal Techniques.

Even the Empress, in her recent counsel, had to tread carefully, as her health had been poor of late. This left the Emperor feeling a smoldering frustration, and the young man had walked straight into his line of fire.

Han Eun-jing still had her signature short hair, though it had grown slightly longer, reaching her shoulders. Combined with her outfit and a touch of eyeshadow, it added a hint of soft elegance to her appearance.

At first surprised, Lin Xiao then reconsidered. The meeting place and time hadn’t been mentioned, so it was likely a joke—without specifics, they couldn’t be serious.

"The defense won’t hold. Everyone, leave the shelter and head up the mountain!" Su Mubai’s gaze was sharp as he made a decisive call.

"One word—yes or no. Give me a straight answer and stop stringing me along!" Xiang Fan said, visibly exasperated.

*Did yesterday’s freshly deceased just come over to do that?*

Ling Xi knew exactly what Lianrong wanted. Even though she felt wronged and resentful, she understood that Lianrong needed him.

"You didn’t have dinner last night, right? You must be hungry. Have something to eat first, then take a moment to relax," Ling Baolu suggested.
