Chapter 39, Part 1

She had originally intended to have Mo Linsen buy her a ring, which she would then wear and post on Weibo to show off. Although Xia Wan did not consider her best friend, Fang Ziqi, an outsider, she still felt she had to consider Mo Linsen’s feelings and was unsure if he would be receptive to such a display.

Everywhere was covered in blood; the dizzying crimson was overwhelming, and there was not a single quiet place to be found. Night Chen stopped abruptly mid-sentence. She had meant to say the place was "unclean," but realizing her tenant was standing right beside her, she decided it was inappropriate and caught herself just in time.

The guards responsible for the city defense were so stunned to see the usually solemn and dignified Northern King personally bowing to invite someone inside that they forgot the passage of time. She remembered how, back then, Gao Songyun had deliberately chosen to collaborate with Xiao Yunfan just to make trouble for him and seize every opportunity to give him a hard time.

Zhang Xun’s tightly furrowed brows finally smoothed out, and a smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth until he actually chuckled aloud. His brothers joined in, delighted; they had never seen their young chieftain smile with such genuine satisfaction. This single sentence sent a chill down Pei Shun’s spine, as if he had realized something truly momentous.

He kept his eyes on the road conditions while driving, a subtle, enigmatic smile playing on his noble, perfect face. The ruins and rubble left behind by the previous fierce battles had long since vanished, and the cities had regained their prosperity and vitality.

Su Ruhui mentally reviewed the various possibilities and finally calmed down; it seemed the issue was not with her snacks. Consort Gu Xian must have consumed something else that happened to trigger her condition—or perhaps it was a conflict between ingredients.

However, as a group chairman with many daily affairs to attend to, Shi Baiming would often work from the hospital, which did not disturb anyone else. Whether Liu was a madman or something else entirely, no one knew. Genius is on the left, madness on the right; it is all a matter of a single thought, depending entirely on how one chooses to perceive it.

Long Cheng, that fellow, pinched his own thigh hard. A moment later, he gasped, his expression more colorful than an overturned bottle of soy sauce. Fortunately, Sihu, hearing Sima say he wasn’t leaving, felt a surge of secret joy and immediately dragged Situ away, finally rid of this jinx.

Their combined attack broken, both felt their bodies stiffen. Although they could move with more difficulty than the others, what was the point of such a futile death struggle? If he had handled it himself, the number of spirit stones required would have been even higher. Fortunately, he had contracted the work to Zhu Ti for thirteen hundred spirit stones at the time, having him step in to help under the condition that there would be no refunds if it cost less and no extra charges if it cost more.

This showed just how wealthy the Mo realm was! After all, establishing anything new at the Xuanling Academy, or even renting this forest area, required an astronomical amount of Xuanling points.

"Everyone, leave," Helan Zhiyuan commanded, his eyes cold and distant. The maidservants replied in unison and withdrew. Long Cheng could no longer suppress the rage in his heart; he stepped forward, grabbed Long Kong by his tie, and raised his other hand in a tight fist.

A flash of killing intent crossed his eyes. Yun Feng tapped his toes against the ground; he did not reveal his true cultivation level, suppressing his aura to the three-star Martial King realm. With a swift movement, he hooked his foot and tapped a finger against the back of one of the large men.

Without realizing it, Lu Tong found herself at the entrance of the club again. She felt a profound sadness; where else could she go besides this place? She seemed to have grown accustomed to being the center of attention here, where at least someone would love her—whether the affection was genuine or feigned, she walked through the club doors with a cold sneer.

Upon hearing this, Jin Rui’s eyes flashed, and he let out a soft huff. Did they think they could survive after ruining his plans? "Deal with them all. Make it clean, and leave no traces." His voice was gloomy, tinged with disgust.

The Flame Thunder Beast is a rare divine beast! Among soul beasts, the Flame Thunder Beast is an absolute monarch.

Xu Jing brought Dong Zhanyun to Lingxu Mountain once more, but this time was different; Dong Zhanyun was actually received with special honors by the Wanhua Sect! "Dong! Dong! Dong!" Ninety-nine bell tolls rang out in the middle of the night across the Wanhua Sect. Then, all the elders and elite disciples emerged to welcome them.

"Shi Yi, Shi Yi—yes, the person the old man cares about most is Shi Yi! Calling Shi Yi over now will definitely work!" With that, Shi Daoran picked up his phone and dialed the number for the south.

Shi Yi followed Yang Linxiao back to his home, feeling utterly disheartened; Grandpa Sun had returned home for some business. Lu Tong had also been acting strangely lately, constantly going missing.

Over the years, this Temple of Death had assassinated countless experts from powerful sects and noble families, causing many factions to turn pale at the mention of its name.

"The White-Winged Star people like to say: 'He who laughs last, laughs best.' I offer this phrase to you as a mutual encouragement," Ming Wangshi said calmly.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, he took a leap, his agile body vaulting over twenty meters in the air, clearing the measuring sand pit entirely, which left the teachers and students from other schools gaping in astonishment.

This place was completely shrouded in primeval forest, humid and sweltering, devoid of sunlight, sparsely populated, and rife with plague. From a long distance away, Chu Chen could see the side hall brightly lit and hear bursts of laughter.

The implication was clear: she did not have a boyfriend, but she certainly had male companions with whom she maintained a steady relationship. At first, Gu Shen thought it sounded mysterious, but as he listened further, his sexy, thin lips couldn't help but curl upward.

"No." Before Ye Yu could speak, Qingshan Quan intervened in protest. He glared at Ye Yu, his face full of anger.

"Hiss, hiss." The monster emitted a hissing sound that cut through the cave with startling clarity. Its eyes, wide as lanterns, made everyone feel a sense of unease. A sinister aura emanated from the creature, weighing heavily on them and allowing fear to spread through their hearts.
