Volume 1, Chapter 25: Surrounded with Ill Intent

Even if Zhu Yufang was skeptical, she was accustomed to obeying her mother, so she quickly left to carry out the instructions.

Xiao Zhang and Moling exchanged glances, both surprised to see Xiao Qingfang so incensed, yet neither dared to speak, waiting for her temper to subside.

Looking at Brother Zhao, he did not seem to be lying or teasing her. Where could things have gone wrong to make the situation so bizarre?

Observing the scene, a flash of hesitation crossed Master Yuan’s expression. The familiarity of the moment stirred doubts in his heart.

Although he was not particularly fond of Xiao Pengfei and had even less desire to tutor him, his mother cared so much about his social life and worried he might be lonely in class that he decided to do it, however reluctantly.

"Sigh, Ah Feng, you actually have your eyes on these few dozen medium-grade divine jades? You must be truly strapped for cash. How about I offer you some friendly sponsorship?" Nian Yubai teased.

Lu Zhiyuan remained silent. Xu Nuo sighed, took his clothes, and headed to the bathroom, clutching his phone. He desperately wanted to call Shi Chu or Qin Feng, yet he did not know under what pretext he could reach out.

"We cannot worry about that much right now. Saving lives is the priority. How to manage the logistics is for the superiors to handle. What we need to consider is what to do next," 03 said.

Lin Ming was busy catching sheep, picking fruit, and digging potatoes, but stewing potatoes required a pressure cooker and a full array of seasonings. He could hardly travel thousands of miles just to find supplies.

Using the two Pulse-Changing Pills they had previously seized, the Heaven-World Hall finally managed to place a spy over there. The remaining pill was wasted in the Alchemy Hall, resulting only in the creation of a Rejuvenation Ointment slightly better than the Hundred-Step Paste.

In the silent forest, a white ape suddenly dashed toward Tianxing, but it stopped abruptly. It scanned its surroundings vigilantly, ears twitching, frowned, shook its head, and wandered away.

"I’ll go bring the baby over for you to see." Whenever Mo Xiuyuan felt awkward, he would change the subject.

"If you don't want to kill them, then find a place to bury them. At worst, they will never see the light of day again." Han Qingyi untied the golden thread in her hand and began to wind it again.

One second, two seconds... ten seconds passed. The man on the bed remained unmoved, merely frowning in discomfort. He tried to open his eyes to protest, but his eyelids were too heavy to lift.

Feeling the warmth fading from the person in his arms, Nangong Yao let out a cry of grief. The quiet infant in his arms let out its first cry—a crisp, small sound that was nonetheless heartbreaking.

Thus, after appearing on the first day to state that the Young Master Xiao was in secluded meditation and could not receive guests, they never showed their faces again.

Once the Qi Sword was released, Mo Yunchen secretly used his spiritual energy to control the Moon-Devouring Immortal Sword, then pointed his finger sharply at the skeleton warrior, sending the Qi Sword rushing toward it.

Afterward, Yu put away the Star-Thunder Sword and, without even glancing at Wan Kuchun, left the Niechen Sect—the place where he had spent a year, the place where he had once opened his heart.

What she had to do was meet with Xu Jing before Yun Yu returned to the hotel to sound out her intentions.

At this moment, the man and the dragon lay motionless on the ground, eyes tightly shut, their chests rising and falling only after long intervals. Their life force was extremely weak, nearly at the brink of death.

There was a panel in the Main God’s space displaying the host’s point ranking and the individual ranking for points earned in specific planes.

The others in the Devil Heaven Sect, including the members of Dark Sting, heard this low voice and all looked toward the direction from which it came.

"Whether to agree to the Song family’s private settlement or to make Song Shanshan pay the price—everything is up to you." Yan Xi left the choice to Lin Youyou.

Qian Xi urgently activated the sect’s talisman paper, attempting to trap the Ming Snake, but the creature opened its maw and blew the talisman away. As the giant snake lunged toward them, Chu Han leaped onto the snake’s head and plunged his sword into its body.

Gu Mian could not recall the matter for a moment and looked at him with a blank expression, hoping for a hint.

Yu Feifei nodded and took the milk tea from his hand, a ripple of warmth surging in her heart. She hadn't expected Ge Liang to be so thoughtful in such a short time.

With that, the two struck their poses, and the shadows of a dragon and a tiger manifested behind them, taking shape in an instant.

Hans knew nothing about musical instruments and could not offer any judgment, unable to join the conversation. But while he didn't understand, Andrei did.

Qin Buchi stood up and offered a polite bow. The spell-casting community had sent him an official letter just the day before yesterday; the sudden arrival of these people certainly spelled trouble. Moreover, those wearing the green and white Taoist robes were clearly more arrogant than the three disciples of the Southern Sect.

Watching these barbarians rushing toward him like madmen, the youth curled his lips into a faint smile.

These fluctuations gradually took form as several human-shaped silhouettes, with jade plaques clearly supporting them at the center of each.

Although she had imagined that a work with such a shameless cover would be filled with evil scenes she had never encountered before, when the heart-pounding scene actually appeared before her eyes, Su Mo was still inevitably hit with a massive shock.

Whether it was a lack of ability or something else, Suo mocked him in his reply letter. Regardless, Suo was already a man about to be sent away, and was preparing to send him to conquer Annan.

The outcome, which differed greatly from her expectations, did not keep Xue Xiaoxue depressed for long. Once again full of confidence, she reached her conclusion.

"Everyone stop! Your boss is in my hands. Let’s see who dares to move! If anyone moves, I’ll strangle him!" Chen Tianxiu roared, deafeningly. Everyone watched the scene before them in utter shock.

Seeing this, Yae Sakura immediately deployed a barrier, covering the entire St. Freya Academy, preparing to block the incoming attacks.

The soft approach was the way to go; no matter what dangers one encountered, one had to always think from the perspective of the imperial family. Any faction that recruited or cultivated you did so to benefit their own group; otherwise, why would they bother to win you over?

Chu Shixia was well-versed in the art of flattery, showering the governor with praise, extolling his integrity, uprightness, and love for the people. She coaxed the governor until he was so pleased that he completely forgot about the matter of urging the imperial court for disaster relief funds.
