“Come, come, come! Let me show you three some of the finest things in our shop. Everything kept here is still in its raw form.” The old man enthusiastically led Locke and the other two out of the fire room.
In any case, they were merely the specially prepared candied dates left over from their time in the Vermilion Bird Secret Realm. They would be perfect for teaching this fellow a lesson.
Releasing the hellfire thunder had no effect. The power of the Nine Netherworlds’ frost was even less useful. Spatial force could not break through this nameless domain, and even the devouring power of the vine martial spirit failed to shift it. The dragon soul was of no help either.
Good grief! Jiang Xie was incredible. Just by touching a girl’s buttocks, he had somehow acquired a Butt-Touching Technique, complete with a daily requirement to touch one or risk destroying the world. This was practically material for a comic book.
In his early years, the old man in the Daoist robe had traveled throughout countless realms and amassed an astonishing fortune. Over the past few centuries, he had developed in two separate places. Whether on the Yatu Wasteland or in the Oasis Jungle, there was no shortage of travelers passing through.
“Long time no see, Locke!” Seeing Locke again, Nezha happily opened his arms and gave him a hug.
This made Gu Yun feel that perhaps he really should give them more time off in the future, so they could help look after their grandson. Otherwise, being unable to handle even one mischievous child was simply too embarrassing.
The Noma people had traveled thousands of miles to form an alliance this time, and their sincerity seemed unquestionable. It was clearly a political achievement delivered right to his doorstep... so why did His Majesty think the Noma people had ulterior motives?
After eating, the two of them sat in the lounge chairs, burping contentedly as they slowly ate a long string of cotton candy and chatted.
Yet nothing could be seen at all. Everyone’s vision was blocked by the power of the seven-colored divine dragon’s lightning.
“And there are more than thirty mechanical-factory regions in this world...” the Dragon Cat said gravely.

In that brief instant, the silver-white orb of light broke through the sound barrier. The airwaves and sonic booms left behind condensed into straight lines, gathering momentum as they prepared to sweep across the surroundings... If they were allowed to erupt, they would surely destroy the entire bedroom, and even this residential building would not escape unscathed.
Clutching the staff in her hand, Hilder sent a thread of magical power inward. Her figure was immediately enveloped in white light and rose into the air... When the light faded, she had changed into an ornate black robe and once again become the dignified Second Apostle.
Forcibly splitting a whole into parts, scattering them across different worlds, and dividing them into four separate missions—it had been wrong from the very beginning. No matter how hard they tried, the outcome would be disastrous.
The two of them had been protected by Batian and the others all along. Besides, the Earth-Listening Beast had stopped using his ultimate technique, so they had scarcely taken part in the fighting. It was only natural that they were not tired.
He had brought this habit with him perfectly to the planet Hebron. In the past, the backwardness of the empire had left him no opportunity, but now that they were connected to the Federation’s information network, he could finally collect enough old newspapers to fill the space beneath an entire bed again.
Lost in wild thoughts, she suddenly found a blue-and-white porcelain bowl filled with soup placed before her. When she turned her head, she saw that Huangfu Ye had ladled her a bowl of fish soup.
To protect his son, Huo Huaiyin could not mention a single word about Huo Jinshen. He kept to the same story as Huo Zhubing, saying only that Wen Ruan had found her biological parents and left the Huo family.
“How dare you ambush your auntie? You must be tired of living.” Qin Yaoye unleashed several bolts of thunder in succession, striking the two Divine Venerables into utter confusion.
“On the path of martial cultivation, reaching the summit has always been a matter of surviving nine deaths out of ten. If you fear danger, yield to threats, and lack even the courage to kill someone who wants me dead, how can you speak of martial cultivation? How can you speak of proving the Dao and becoming Emperor?” Ye Tian spoke slowly as he bathed in sword energy. The unyielding sword aura shot straight into the highest reaches of the sky.
“What’s wrong? We haven’t seen each other for only one night, and you’re already missing me? What an honor. You actually miss me—I truly find that unbelievable. What is it? Did something happen?” I was doing it deliberately, leaving him hanging.
In any case, I found everything about him unpleasant now, so no wonder my words were laced with barbs. I had intended to mock him a few more times, but when I saw his weary expression, his slightly sunken eye sockets ringed by heavy dark circles, I could not help feeling a pang of sympathy.

There was still some time before the secret realm opened, but quite a few people had already gathered here. Nearly everyone qualified to enter the secret realm had arrived.
Xia Qing continued to maintain her usual air of “knowing nothing whatsoever,” going to work and returning home as usual.
The Mirage Dragon God King remained silent. This man’s strength was extraordinary; he had actually managed to fight Tai Yun to a standstill, which meant he possessed at least King-level combat power. The sword aura he had displayed moments ago was not something an ordinary person could produce. Even if the God King personally entered the fray, he was not certain he could kill the man. Moreover, the sword in that man’s hand looked strangely familiar.
My gaze immediately fixed on him. The speaker was a thin man in a suit, with a gaunt face and dark rings around his eyes, looking as though he had been drained dry by an excess of massage-parlor indulgence. There was also something inexplicably familiar about his features. I felt as if I had seen him somewhere before.
With that, Baili Zhuan shot me a glance, his manner contemptuous and his eyes filled with anger. Those words had plainly been meant for me.
Once a man was gone, even the tea he had served turned cold. No matter how astonishing his deeds had once been, he was ultimately nothing more than a hurried passerby in this world.
“Your Majesty, the Empress cannot be deposed. Our Great Zhou has only just managed to rebuild its powerful dragon aura, and now the Hundred Clans are watching us like tigers. The fangs and claws of the demon and barbarian races have already been sharpened bright. I beg Your Majesty to think this over carefully.” The Grand Tutor pressed his forehead to the ground and refused to rise.
The orange-red Maserati sports car sped onto a broad, open highway. The surrounding area was landscaped with gardens, the streetlights glowed hazily, and quite a few pedestrians could still be seen taking walks in the early hours of the morning.
