Shu Jin, dressed in apricot-yellow robes, smiled faintly and drifted down from the tree. She landed on a horse, before whose saddle sat the Soul-Chasing Xiao Sanlang.

I could say with certainty that Catherine had invited me, but… the situation now was that if Catherine admitted she had invited me, it would indirectly prove that her cousin had indeed been plotting behind the scenes. Would Catherine really embarrass her own cousin for my sake?

The castoff by the Styx seemed unwilling to face Chen Luo. A trace of sorrow crossed his features. He opened his mouth as though he wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.

“Hmph!” The elven mage snorted coldly. Without offering any explanation, he left the party and logged off.

At the restaurant, they bought up all the meat in stock. The beef and mutton alone amounted to more than a hundred pounds, to say nothing of the great quantity of game they purchased as well. The people of the Snow Country were relatively poor, and such extravagant spending was exceedingly rare. Once these people had finished buying everything, the entire street was thrown into an uproar.

The undead warrior Moya was broad and powerfully built. Coming from the cold, desolate northern lands, he wore only a cloak made from the pelt of an ice-snow bear. Ancient tattoos of the Bantu tribe covered his body. He had golden hair, the skull of a northern sheep-like monster hanging from his neck, and shoulder guards fashioned from snow-wolf fur and fangs. In his right hand, he carried an enormous hammer.

“You are now my master. To enter or leave the Dragon Pearl, all you need do is form the thought. You may also place other creatures inside the Dragon Pearl in the future,” the spirit of the Dragon Pearl said respectfully.

Chen Yuangui stood open-mouthed, staring blankly at Li Guoliang. For a long while, he could not speak. If Nantou were in peril and Commander Li were surrounded by the Japanese army, then no matter how compelling his reasons might be, he could never refuse to support Li Guoliang’s retreat to Xibei and his return to Nantou.

In this way, Zhao Qin kept kissing me for more than ten minutes before finally letting me go.

“What? Does Elder Crystal have an objection?” Duoduo Luo was already deeply frustrated. Just as he was about to deliver a few harsh words, Crystal across from him retorted first, making him even more furious.

The benefits involved were enough to tempt not only a late Foundation Establishment cultivator like her, but even a Golden Core cultivator.

Lan Qiansu watched An Huashi’s departing figure. For a moment, a dazed smile seemed to surface on her face. It was clear that she had lived these past years in constant trepidation. Now that someone had suddenly treated her with such consideration, she found herself somewhat unable to adjust.

An Huashi still remembered Gongyang Zi clearly: in those days, he had possessed a thick mane of hair and a straight, unyielding back.

Dantai Yaoyao raised her slender, fair hands and gestured twice, sighing incessantly as she spoke.

Lin Xiao watched with his own eyes as the remaining rabble of shrimp soldiers and crab generals struggled one by one before dissolving into fragments of nothingness. The end of the protection period meant that these foreign creatures could no longer survive on this land.

The tea was Anji white tea, and the water came from the well in the courtyard. The teahouse out front used well water as well.

If even the Lianzhao Sect could not find anything, then no intelligence organization in the world could possibly uncover this person’s true abilities.

“Heh heh. It seems I was careless after all.” A bitter smile twisted the lips of the young man from the Iron Clan. He had never expected to encounter a martial artist of the ancient schools. Judging from Liu Bin’s appearance, he did not seem to belong to any of those great families. Yet in a place where spiritual energy was so weak, someone’s cultivation was actually no lower than his own. Apart from jealousy, the discovery filled him with profound anger.

At once, Zhang Zhiping became even more eager to spar with the others. If he could gain some additional benefit from it, he would be utterly delighted.

Almost the instant the arrows, trailing shrill currents of air, flew over their heads, the soldiers nearest the breach immediately stepped forward of their own accord to fill the vacant position.

Tieshu’s eyes already seemed to glimmer with tears. “That is why I cannot stand by and watch you die,” she said. Of course she could not.

Jingxian watched the pair bickering and playing around, filled with envy. Ordinarily, she did not even have the chance to say a single word to him, while Yuxuan could joke and laugh with him so freely. She was not jealous of Yuxuan; aside from envy, she harbored no ill will toward her whatsoever.

“I want the Trading Network to create a miracle.” Lin Di smiled and shook his head. Qian Lai was truly shameless.

After the appearance of the oscillating life-forms, abnormalities also emerged in the outer reaches of Mana Earth. The doom-invoking entities of this universe had received the call of their companions, and they too were hastening toward Earth.

“And that means the charge just now actually possessed enough power to break through an enemy field camp head-on—provided it had not been suppressed by the enemy army’s cloud of murderous iron-blooded aura.” Zhang Jue calculated silently.

Bi You was puzzled for a time. He immediately wanted to pry more information from Hai You, but Hai You seemed to know little himself and revealed nothing else of value, leaving Bi You bitterly disappointed. It seemed that he would have to investigate the remaining matters on his own.

After Li Jun brought him here, Wang Feng went straight to Dong Zhuo, the newly appointed commanding general, to report the situation.

Once they reached the riverbank and no longer faced the threat of rising waters, everyone relaxed. After a brief rest, they each went off in search of anything useful.

Huang Dali, broad-waisted and round-shouldered, with muscles bulging across his body, was sent rolling more than twenty meters by a shove from Wei Meng. If his waist had not struck a stone jutting from the ground, no one knew how much farther he might have rolled.

Thus, the people who had joined Zhongchang Yue in the commotion all surged toward the direction where Dongfang Ling’er stood, pushing and jostling one another in a scene of great excitement.
