Volume 1, Chapter 21: Regional Peculiarities

Li Zijin finally understood that the reason Jiang Mengbai refused the academy's recruitment was rooted in such a poignant tale of filial piety and brotherly duty.

The second task is to lead the Beast King Mountain through this crisis as best as possible. The fact that the Beast King Mountain is holding the Ancestral Awakening Ceremony indicates they have encountered an insurmountable dilemma, and only by rousing the long-slumbering Beast King ancestor can they hope to avert disaster.

Weng Tianyi rested to the side, looking at the "Fortune" character, thinking it was quite good; as for those who went blind, they deserved it. He saw He Jiayou's message—it would be best if they stayed blind forever. While such a family wouldn't starve to death, the He family going bankrupt was not entirely out of the question.

The demon tree’s massive body rotated, facing the person and the horse nearby. The steed seemed terrified by the aura emitted by the tree, standing frozen in place.

Ye Tian shook his head. "I don't have a place to stay yet," he said truthfully. He really didn't have anywhere to live; he had planned to look for a house that afternoon and buy one. Since he had tens of millions in his account, money was no concern.

Jiang Zhi was stunned for a long time. Only after a while did she gradually come to her senses; she seemed to understand that he found her unclean.

However, Chen Yuan was waiting for exactly this moment. The poison in the Poison-Infused Qi-Gathering Pill might not be enough to kill a fifth-layer Qi Refinement cultivator instantly, but it was enough to provide him with an opportunity for a counterattack.

Jiang Suining was still terrified. Suddenly, she began to weep inconsolably, as if her sobbing were the only sound left between heaven and earth.

Lu Zheyuan had not expected that coming to discuss business would lead him to witness such an inexplicable transaction.

For example, Cultivator A, while training, accidentally fought a Black Rock Beast and had his abdomen pierced by its sharp horn, forcing him to take a Hemostasis Pill.

Qiao Yu looked at the head leaning in and the face smiling with "covetous" intent, quickly leaning back and struggling to escape her senior sister’s clutches.

Zhou Quan took two steps in one, scooped her out of the water, and held her in his arms. Lin Yi’s eyes were closed, her face flushed, her eyelashes like dampened crow’s wings, and her lips as red as cherries.

She was stunning, with sharp, well-defined features. Wearing a red dress that clung tightly to her curvaceous figure, she exuded a mature, seductive charm from head to toe.

At first glance, the first thing to catch Hong Yi’s sight was the deliberately bolded chapter title.

One of the larger wolves opened its blood-stained maw, baring sharp teeth as it leaped into the air, lunging toward Yun Luofeng.

"Second Senior Brother, what are you daydreaming about?" Luo Yuyan puffed out her cheeks, grumbling unhappily.

Nan Gongruo felt a shiver run through him for no reason, especially down his spine. Could it be that Di Mingjue was watching him from right there?

Gifted with great natural talent, yet followed by such a useless exotic beast—besides providing company, it was likely just a burden.

The crowd gasped, daring not to linger and watch the spectacle. The CEO’s dramas were never easy to witness; if the CEO decided to settle scores later, they would be out of a job.

Although a chiliarch was not a high-ranking officer in the military, for the current Qianyi, with only a thousand troops, the chiliarch was the highest-ranking military official of the Qin army in the region.

Cang Mojue naturally saw the reaction of the crowd. He could not deny that the kiss just now gave him an indescribable feeling, and even after she left, he felt a lingering sense of regret.

Xia Houyuan’s hand remained frozen in mid-air for a long time before he slowly withdrew it, his long legs continuing to stride in the direction she had vanished.

The next morning, Lu Qingqing originally intended to hide in her room to avoid seeing anyone. She knew that after causing Lu Mingyan such humiliation in the palace yesterday, Lu Mingyan would surely be making a scene. She hadn't expected Lu Zhenyuan to send someone to find her anyway.

"This man has only left temporarily. Once he finds a way to break the seal, he will definitely return, and I believe it won't be long!" Chang'an said.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Two clashing forces of opposing elemental immortal energy collided, causing a series of explosions. The lingering red and blue ripples of energy intertwined and spread wildly in all directions.

"Using only five-tenths of your strength? If I recall correctly, your cultivation has reached the sixth level of Spirit Martial, and even at five-tenths, this is far beyond what Brother Chen can handle. You are clearly just bullying him!" Dugu Chong finally could not hold back.

Lin Chen had long anticipated that as long as he remained in Tianhuang City, the Gongsun clan would certainly find ways to make things difficult for him.

"Haha, Brother Tiger is right. If I cannot even protect you, how can I promise you a stable life and future?" Lin Chen laughed, his mind filled with visions of a beautiful future.

However, the beast riot about to erupt in the Demon Emperor's City before long would be nothing compared to the cruel slaughter unfolding here at the edge of the spatial corridor.

He immediately imparted the technique for concealing one's aura to Situ Yufan. The technique was not difficult, but it was highly practical.

Watching the long, fluttering butterfly tassels on Ye Qingli’s garment, her eyes couldn't help but well up with tears. The Second Senior Brother must have raised these spirit butterflies out of longing for her.

Perhaps Tang Zhen had enjoyed this sort of thing back then, but at the time, they were in completely different circles, so it was impossible for them to have crossed paths.

Along the way, Situ Yufan inspected the surroundings and discovered that the paths they had taken were surrounded by formations; without a guide, they would never have found this valley.

Xia Jianchu, realizing she didn't need to intervene, had already slipped out of the inner chamber with Li Hei. She saw the Thirteenth Master lying prone in a pool of blood among the corpses of the Golden Guards, looking like a hedgehog.

Lin Ziyi felt uneasy and anxious, never daring to lift her gaze to look at anyone. She kept her eyes lowered, staring at the floor. Regardless of An Yize’s or the others' reactions, since she had already agreed to An Yize, she would simply have to let him do as he pleased until he was satisfied.

"Hey... I... I'll take you there right now!" Ye Meng, overcome with joy, took a long stride forward, and before long, the sound of their footsteps vanished into the tunnel.

Li Rong, the deputy director of the Urban Construction Bureau who had come along behind Lu Zecheng, listened to Chen Xing and then looked at Zhang Jiande at the scene, breaking into a cold sweat. He was so distracted that he nearly tripped over Lu Zecheng in front of him.

Yao Minghai said a word, then fell silent, pushing the microphone to Zhu Guangzheng beside him. Yao Minghai had no heart for further talk at that moment.

However, Leng Mo did not believe Qing Wu had any good intentions; it was merely a wolf wishing the chickens a happy New Year. As soon as he returned to Tanyuan Hall, he bypassed Elder Qing Wu’s watch and disposed of that bottle of medicine.
