Upon hearing this, Shen Mo felt relieved. What he had feared most was that his mother would stubbornly refuse to let him leave. Once he went to the Immortal Realm, he had no idea when he would be able to return.
His words contained both sincerity and falsehood. Liang Xingzhi could neither agree nor deny them, and for a moment he was unable to say anything at all.
During the month-long voyage, Bulma had nothing else to do and devoted herself to studying the Namekian language. With her astonishing intelligence quotient of 220, she had already gained a rough command of it. That was why Bei Ming Lei had brought her along to summon the dragon.
As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Qing and Liang Qianshan both changed expression slightly. Their gazes sharpened as they stared at Liu Liya, their eyes suddenly different. At that moment, even if they were unwilling to admit it, there was no denying that they had already begun competing for the same man’s affections.
“He is Majin Buu.” The Supreme Kai covered his ears while glaring hatefully at the fat figure in the sky, recalling once more how Buu had slaughtered the four Supreme Kais.
In Guang Mou’s view, Sun Wukong would stop at nothing to recover the cassock. If the cassock were truly burned, the entire monastery would probably be unable to escape his murderous hands. The only one near the Guanyin Meditation Monastery capable of challenging Sun Wukong in a wager of strength was the Black Wind Demon. That demon possessed extraordinary power; perhaps he could be used to eliminate Sun Wukong.
He was just about to utter a vicious threat when Wang Qiming gave him a cold look. He muttered a few words under his breath and had no choice but to sit down again.
Bathed in the firelight, Sun Wukong examined the area around the house. Then he noticed a bamboo tray on a stone table behind the door, with a handful of his hairs placed inside. He was delighted. Who would have thought that after obtaining one of his hairs, the demon would keep it as a treasured possession? Did he have a collecting habit?
Android 16 opened the “insulated case,” revealing two orange-red spheres inside—the One-Star Ball and the Six-Star Ball that had fallen into Dr. Gero’s hands.
Chen Ao immediately understood whom Xuan Ning meant by “them,” and his face went deathly pale as well. Just moments ago, he had boasted that he could deal with Yi Rong and Yi Ku, but now he did not even dare say another word.
Murong Zhaoyun pondered for a moment before saying, “All right. This is the only way.”
With that, she led Jin Ge toward the reception hall, while Yaomei followed close behind as her guard.
He sensed a familiar feeling all around him. Though it was drawing nearer only slowly, it was unmistakably clear.

Besides, the white-robed young master who intended to become the top scholar already had friends waiting there to welcome him to the feast. He kept rambling on and on, irritating everyone beside him. They tried to coax him away, and when that failed, they even threatened to smash things at him. Their words were harsh, leaving him to return crestfallen, only to be mocked once again by that simpleton.
He looked Dongfang Qin up and down. She had already changed out of her mourning clothes and was once again dressed in tender yellow. With a touch of girlish charm, she appeared even fresher and more delicate beneath the April sunlight. Her brows were slightly raised, and the full smile at the corners of her lips left no fault for anyone to find.
Ouyang had gone from being unable to throw his flying knives very far, and then from missing his targets, to striking them unfailingly with all five knives within thirty meters. The distance was not great, but it was still tremendous progress.
Leng Xuerao had inexplicably transferred to their school, and now she claimed to have been chased by wolves. No matter how Beiluo thought about it, something felt wrong.
The Fire Princess raised a hand, signaling them to remain silent. She could still sense Long Zhenghao’s presence, which meant that Long Zhenghao could sense hers as well.
Letian studied him and found him vaguely familiar. Only after walking a considerable distance did he remember that this was one of the people who had once tried to seize the spirit ginseng. Letian recalled that the man had wielded a black divine whip and possessed considerable strength.
Her back looked somewhat bleak, yet she stood straight and strong. She concealed her unknown vulnerability beneath a hardened shell, showing everyone only her most tenacious side. That was Murong Zhaoyun.
Huang Yao was half-convinced. The Fourfold Cosmic Cauldron gave him an overwhelmingly mysterious feeling. He had even tried to send out a strand of his soul consciousness to investigate it, only to be repelled directly by the enigmatic power surrounding the cauldron.
“Understood.” Daikong Dadi and Xinyue Shou immediately began pinpointing the location, while Yamagishi Takeshi and Matsudo Chiaki also started trying to communicate with the other side.
Beneath the dense smoke, golden flames illuminated the silvery-gray sky. Amid the glittering sea of stars, they outlined a perfect arc of rainbow light, just like the one seen on the night Ruyang City was burned.
After waiting a while, He Qianqiu saw the suspicion in my eyes and finally lost patience. She simply pinched both my cheeks and forcibly stuffed the pill into my mouth.
But Luo Yan was different from the other three. His equipment was already an entire major item ahead of the enemy’s. After planting a shadow trap, the opposing shield knight, seized by murderous intent, charged straight at Luo Yan.

Barton flapped his wings, apparently trying to evade the attack, but he had forgotten that his wings were injured. In the end, the ball of fire struck him, and he vanished amid the blazing light as a violent explosion thundered through the air.
With that, while I watched him strangely, he took my hand and walked straight to the bedside, then carelessly smeared the blood on his arm across the bedding.
The Abyss of the Spirit Witch, radiating darkness and evil on one side and light and holiness on the other, seemed like an entrance leading either to hell or to a heavenly paradise.
She had to find a way to kill those demon seeds. Once the energy reserves here had been fully mined, she would be able to return to the Floating City. After returning, she would go to Li— the City of Wisdom built from the forest, which was to be her final home.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Several muffled explosions rang out in succession from beneath the water. A moment later, a vast sheet of spray was blasted into the air, and the surface once again fell still.
Dai Tao suddenly asked, “I’m out of bullets. Who has any left?” His rifle had already locked back on an empty chamber, leaving him with nothing but a fire-blackened club.
This was also one of Li Guoping’s moves of which he was especially proud. He was probably certain that, even now, Lü Heping still believed Jiang Kai to be one of his own trusted subordinates.
Xiao Bai felt rather frustrated by this, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he had neither money nor influence. Besides, he held no prejudice against the security guard; the man was only carrying out his duty.
“This road was opened by me, and this tree was planted by me. If you want to pass this way, leave a toll behind. Why do I have to say something like that?”
A clear voice suddenly rang out. It sounded somewhat nervous, and even a little aggrieved.
