Volume 1, Chapter 26: The Truth Revealed, Regret Grips Them All

He did this mainly as a precaution, for in this bizarre dream, he had no idea what strange attacks Yuan Bingyao might unleash, or what means of escape she might possess.

Zhang Yuruo, now in a different skin, sat down as usual, ignoring the strange looks from within the inn. She gripped her Water-Cold longsword tightly, looking heroic and extraordinary.

If the second branch of the family found out, they would surely come over to cause a ruckus every single day. Grandfather is old; how could he endure such a thing?

"Do you know who he is?" Xin Ying’s eyes darted around twice before she shouted at them at the top of her lungs.

Ye Xun threw down what he was holding and rushed to Xin Ying’s side, pulling away Sheng Yadi, who had fallen next to her with a hand still resting on her stomach. He then scooped Xin Ying up and placed her on the sofa.

Luffy and his crew were not quite as calm; they had just rescued a Navy chef apprentice named Tajiyo who had fallen from a Marine warship.

After leaving Ye Xun’s home, Sheng Yadi gasped for air, her mouth wide open. She had never done anything like this before; it was her first time.

"I cannot help it. It has long since been fused with the Great Zhou Array, becoming a part of it! Rather than watching it slowly be drained of its spiritual energy until it dies, it is better to let it go out in a blaze of glory!" Master Yun said in a low voice.

Fang Heng burst into loud laughter again at this moment. Meanwhile, those listening to the dialogue between Fang Heng and Ling Xuan were all left speechless, not knowing what to say.

He Jingpeng had been utterly shocked when he first received this news, so he decisively called his younger brother.

Zhuang Shaoqing was also somewhat embarrassed. That day, she had seen him acting lewdly toward Meng Lin and had scolded him angrily. Now that he had regained his senses, he truly regretted his past actions.

Of course, Lin Mu was only slightly better off; he hadn't been hit by the water cannon, but he was covered in some kind of sticky, disgusting fake blood mixture.

The place they had arrived at was quite nice, and everything was well-prepared, even earplugs.

"These people have simply been fooled; there’s no need to take them seriously. Besides, this fire poses no real threat to us, and we can take advantage of their lowered guard to escape using fire," Lan Linfeng explained his plan.

Dammit! To think it was forced into such a pathetic state, and during its soul-capturing, no less! Being summoned in such an extreme manner—does that guy even know how to spell "death"?

I abandoned those exhausting conflicts that seemed to have accompanied me since the day I woke up, never disappearing for even a moment. This question is also what confuses me most: who am I really? A bystander? A savior? A continuation of Yin Jing? Whoever I am, I will never be myself.

Qin Hao revealed a look of disdain. Watching the sword rushing toward him, he remained indifferent and calm. He swung his sword down slowly, and a dragon-shaped sword aura tore through the air. The giant dragon head let out a heaven-shaking roar that drowned out all other sounds, as if only the dragon's roar remained in the world.

After eating, Lin Mu and Young Master Zhou headed to the film studio, waiting for Tang Wei to leave once Yanzi arrived.

Jiang Nankang’s thoughts raced as he pieced together everything said before and after the Yonghe Palace, finally coming up with a brilliant explanation.

"I’m going to sleep now, too. Liu Qing fed me milk a moment ago, and I need to use the restroom," Wang Fang said, sitting up with great effort.

Teacher Chen glanced at Haohao’s mother and said, "At lunch, Haohao wanted to eat Yaya’s chicken leg, but Yaya didn't agree."

Seeing Li Tianfeng climb back to his feet, Protector Yang said with a cruel tone, "Let me see just how tough you really are!" He then attacked Li Tianfeng with another slash of his blade.

Li An intentionally let out a cry of feigned terror, allowing the Buddha statue formed by the dark Buddhist power to slam into him.

Luo Yu had a moment of epiphany. He suddenly realized that this ice-elemental energy seemed to have a massive advantage when fighting in the rain. Blue light burst from his curved blade again, turning into a brilliant blue streak as he charged at the black-robed figure. Wherever the blade passed, countless raindrops turned into ice pellets, shielding the sharp edge.

I don’t know how much time passed, but the Ancient Emperor Giant Python was completely dead. It wasn't just dead; it didn't even have the strength to twitch.

Ola looked at the boy with some suspicion, but seeing the boy’s confident demeanor, she suppressed the urge to rush over and help.

As for the discussions, Luo Yu treated them like the buzzing of mosquitoes. He never cared about the gazes of strangers. After all, some things only need to be proven by one’s own strength.

Fu Bin had no choice but to get out of bed and walk to the other side, embracing Liu Ping. Shyly, I hurried to stand up and walked to a corner of the ward, turning my back to them.

If they were all issued guns at the same time, the new recruits seeing such things for the first time would likely be too excited to control the scene.

This system is only activated after a nation or coalition has been completely annihilated by an enemy’s weapons of mass extinction.

I never expected that the "Doctor Jin" mentioned by the introducer would turn out to be Jin Ze, a colleague of her ex-boyfriend from the same hospital.

"Don't be impatient, I haven't finished yet. It’s not just returning what you took; you must return double," Bai Shengnan said slowly, her eyes filled with a playful glint.

"Have you found the whereabouts of the four national treasures of the other four kingdoms that I asked you to scout?" Bai Yu looked back at Chou Henhai. Why was this man so good to her? Was he searching for the treasures for her sake, or was that just an excuse for his own ambition?

All the ground-based long-range artillery positions lit up the entire sky like massive fireworks.

After all, the truly terrifying sea monsters have always been hidden deep beneath the ocean, and even Su Ming had never fully explored their true strength.

Out of respect for their usual camaraderie, they didn't speak up, but a few individuals couldn't help but look at Lu Haizhao with disdain.

Beibei snuggled up to Lucy, rubbing against her constantly. Although Lucy’s chest was regretfully flat as the Goddess of Poverty, the quality of her milk was top-notch.

After Wu Fan got rid of Fan Jun, Fan Jun didn't come looking for him again. He really went out to recruit disciples widely, but in his heart, Wu Fan was still the one in charge of the Heavenly Martial Sect. He was just recruiting for Wu Fan; as long as Wu Fan grew stronger, the day of the Heavenly Martial Sect's revival would be just around the corner.

Temporarily suppressing the urge to binge, Tang Xuan walked down the mountain path and ducked into the dark, dense forest.

The wild vegetables on this mountain had been picked clean. The reason was simple: they were poor, had nothing to eat, and had no choice but to go up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables.
