Jiang Chengce had risen from the ranks to become a battalion commander in a reconnaissance unit. If he wanted to tail Su Youqing, he could walk right beside her without being discovered.

Gu Xiran, who had just been preparing to get into the car, heard what they said, and her temples throbbed for quite some time.

Xia Chao patted her back again before removing the hand that covered her eyes. Fengguang could see only part of the prison guard’s body as the hidden guards dragged him away.

Gu Chen did not merely keep the thought in his mind; he put it into action at once.

Gu Chen was utterly speechless. What? He had not even begged her to take him along in his escape, yet she had actually asked him to take her instead. What kind of master was this? She was so afraid of death—where had all her earlier bravado gone?

He scraped his feet against the ground several times, preparing to dash straight toward Nangong Ping’er. If he did not run to Nangong Ping’er, then wherever he went, he would eventually be caught. As the saying went, of the thirty-six strategies, retreat was the best—but even retreat had to be purposeful.

A day apart felt like three autumns. Less than half a month had passed, yet upon returning to the entrance of Xuanyuan Academy, Feng Luoyu felt a complicated tide of emotion rise in his heart.

“Go count them yourself, and you’ll believe me. I would never lie to you.” The breeze lifted the loose hair before his brow. It did not mar his elegance; instead, it gave him an extra touch of sunny charm.

……After seeing the young man of the Huan clan who had been killed, after witnessing the middle-aged man brazenly committing an obscene act in public within the imperial palace, after dining with the emperor, exchanging a few words, and pondering the matter again and again, Chen Rong thought: Perhaps it was time to change his approach.

Yet a few days later, everything became different. Her heart had stirred. It was like the water in a well that had never known a ripple suddenly moving one day, never again able to return to stillness. Even when the ripples faded, perhaps she could only continue yearning for the beauty of that single moment.

The Ice and Snow Secret Realm was a public secret realm in the world of the Four Seas. It opened once every sixty years, and any cultivator below the Nascent Soul stage could enter. Whenever it opened, people from every walk of life gathered there, creating a chaotic mix of factions. They fought to the death over the resources within. It was said that during one opening, the cultivators fought so fiercely that even the snow inside was dyed red.

Su Ning had no time to fear the death worms now. In her eyes, these feed creatures represented wealth.

The boy stared at his mother, whose behavior had become strange and whose mind had been lost. Her eerie gray pupils seemed to be looking at him, yet also seemed unable to hear anything at all.

But as time passed, Chu Xinghe not only failed to complete even one side; he instead grew inexplicably anxious, destroying even the foundation he had laid during the first half of the allotted time.

He had always hated Gu Nanzhi most of all, regarding her as an ignorant good-for-nothing. Yet today, the person he despised most had left him utterly speechless, preventing him even from protecting Yue’er. The humiliation was unbearable.

Su Ning immediately took out one of the death worms she had stored in her backpack and swiftly placed it into the insect-refining jar, wanting to see what effect it would have.

Li Shilong continued to lie. “My uncle and aunt both graduated from university. Many of their classmates hold important positions at Haoxing. Through them, I can also be introduced to other acquaintances and build a network of connections. I already called ahead before coming here. My sales channels will certainly grow wider and wider.”

“Then what makes you think someone like him would speak on our behalf?” Ji Lan pulled over the safety belt and fastened it, her tone mild yet seeming to see through everything.

After a rustling sound, Bai Yu sensed that her dress had been lifted. Her alluring eyes narrowed in a haze of passion.

Fang Lan’s heart stirred. She took the initiative to walk forward and asked with intimate coyness, “Brother Jin, what kind of business are you in?”

Although she wanted to hurry back and prepare something for her son to eat, a little extra time would not matter. For that reason, she declined A Li’s offer to accompany her and walked back with Huo Cong.

The fiery impact seemed not to have caused the Poison Dragon much harm. Instead, it melted all the ice covering its body.

Lin Zhao could not make sense of what he was hearing. Ye Ranxing had clearly spoken with a smile, yet that smile sent a chill all the way to Lin Zhao’s feet.

The principal had always spoken with complete sincerity. Seeing how determined he was, Le Zhengyang’s mother began to feel that perhaps what he said really was right.

At last, Black Whirlwind had a chance to appear. With a caw, he flew into the sky above the castle and circled there, monitoring the activity within.

Shi Mu’s Baili Shouyue was clearing the minion wave in the bottom lane. Her Baili Shouyue was just as terrible as Zhou Lulu’s.

Every step seemed capable of shaking the mountain peak itself, sending the accumulated snow cascading down with a soft rumble.

Pizarro played the role of a midfield sweeper, with a powerful talent for disruption. If he could hold Li Qiao in check, Ferguson’s substitution this time would amount to a failure.

At that moment, he had no idea that Lina had not even made a move yet; Jiang Xue had already sent him to prison.

But the ball was not offside. Postiga struck toward the far corner of the goal, yet at the critical moment, Lehmann reached out and blocked it. It was an instinctive save, and Lehmann slightly altered the ball’s trajectory.

When almost everyone else was gone, only those few Supreme beings remained, unwillingly casting one last glance toward the depths of the valley.

“Waaah, waaah!” Other than when her mother had died, she had never cried so bitterly since birth. Now she wanted to end her own life with a single stroke. She had blocked every path before her with her own hands—even the path to acknowledging her relatives.

He closed the door, paying no attention to Corpse Mister’s mockery. He simply sat back down opposite him, and happened to notice the sign on the wall.

“So that’s how it is!” Li Feng knew that the Mr. He mentioned by Xiao Ling was He Jianhao. He felt grateful to He Jianhao as well; the man had indeed thought everything through carefully.

In the next moment, a gigantic wooden figure rose from the ground. Its enormous hand closed around the Tailed Beast Bomb, and then the wooden figure hurled it away, sending it into a massive explosion.

“Stop rubbing your eyes. Even I can’t recognize my own face now. A few days ago, I took a Face-Changing Pill, and that turned me into this youthful-looking version of myself. Cough… I suppose I’m simply unlucky.” Ancestor Ri Tian let out a heavy sigh.

Wang Chao was spinning around in place without realizing it, afraid that he would end up the same way. In fact, it seemed that it had already happened.

“Captain, we’ll anchor the ship here later. That way, Doflamingo won’t discover that we’ve arrived.” Holding a map, Law pointed to a stretch of coastline.

Lei Yue scratched his head awkwardly and placed the entire reason for his visit on Baili Furong.
