In fact, Hailing County was not the only place to implement a point-based system; the situation was the same throughout the country. Players aligned with the imperial court could display their accomplishments through points, though the actual rewards could only be claimed within their own county.

Yet only moments ago, he had been in a room aboard the spaceship. No matter how he thought about it, there was no way he could possibly be here now.

“But it doesn’t matter. As long as you help me deal with Gao Huan, I’ll put you on the throne of student council president. Next year, you’ll definitely advance smoothly into your senior year.” Gao Huan walked up before the burly man, his voice filled with temptation.

That was how Sandra answered: lend ten dollars to Uncle XX, and make him promise to pay me back even more money during the New Year celebrations next year.

The white-haired young man had already undone the buttons of his uniform at the chest. As Zhang Liang struggled to manipulate the heavy body of an adult, he naturally caught sight of the open collar and the enormous scar exposed at the center of the man’s chest.

All these Grand Supreme Elders had seen Su Bai’s qilin divine medicine. After their brief astonishment, they all noticed the difference between the two.

An idea flashed through Su Bai’s mind. He pretended to be intoxicated and moved even closer. At that moment, he displayed astonishing speed, snatched away the veil, and instantly sealed her lips with his own.

An ordinary person would certainly have been killed and sent back to level zero by him, but this man did not dare. He was an official of the government, assigned to come along as an escort.

Judging by Black’s current bearing, there was no doubt that if no one stopped Young Master Black, he would charge straight to Han Mu.

For this reason, Wu Hao activated A-Xing’s auxiliary function and turned the fortune valve all the way up. He finally made it through the process without incident.

Chen Changan froze at once. If he had not seen how formidable the old man could be, he would absolutely have been deceived by that miserable, pitiful appearance.

“Am I prettier, or is Senior Sister Liu Yu prettier?” Tang Xuerou asked, her large eyes blinking rapidly.

Cole had no intention of leaving Goss City, so he remained there with the Grand Prince.

Fortunately, the Imperial Grandfather had sent him a necklace and arranged for him to be assisted by what appeared to be an extremely advanced artificial intelligence.

Great Jin possessed powerful troops and vigorous warhorses. Yet in many situations, relying solely on the army and making a grand display of force not only failed to resolve matters properly, but also incurred enormous costs and losses.

The Yige Empire had seen this clearly and immediately pounced like a starving wolf. It had merely moved the actions taking place beneath the stage into the open.

Lu Xingyun and the others traveled with Han Shaofang to the foot of Cloud Lotus Peak, where they parted ways. Lu Xingyun and his companions ascended Cloud Lotus Peak, while Han Shaofang continued onward toward Kuaiji Commandery.

In the hazy gray sky, transparent insects with flat mouths and razor-sharp teeth occasionally revealed their forms. These were the so-called Everlasting Time Worms, and they looked utterly disgusting and terrifying.

The ambiguous atmosphere in the room reached a certain intensity. Just then, Zhang Li’s phone rang. The caller ID displayed Ling Baoguo.

However, the army of sandfolk was at that moment enveloped in the radiance of the dragon-cage formation. Even the impact from the collapse of the projection of the Realm of Dao could not affect them.

Even so, Lin Wan remained nervous and apprehensive throughout the journey. She always felt that everything could not possibly go so smoothly, and an intense unease lingered in her heart.

Then they saw the main entrance of the bronze tower. A huge hole had appeared there. What kind of tremendous force could have pierced this ancient bronze hall—especially its tower, clearly situated at the very core? This had to be the hardest part of the entire bronze hall, yet it had been breached.

Apart from cleaners who came at scheduled times, the enormous villa had no servants. Put nicely, it was a world for two; put less kindly… Jian Mo was simply a hidden wife whom no one was allowed to see.

This was not the first time Shen Chu had seen Gu Beichen like this… Five years ago, when he had decided to impersonate Gu Moyuan, Gu Beichen had acted the same way once before. From beginning to end, a faint smile had curved his lips, yet it carried such pressure that it chilled the soles of one’s feet.

“Go away, you rogue!” Pei Shiyin glared fiercely at Cheng Yiben, feeling that the man truly had no shame. He could say something so sickeningly sweet without even his eyelids twitching.

Perhaps it was because, in the end, Tang Luoyan had told her that she would eventually meet a man who would buy her milk tea whenever she wanted some… Thus, whenever Lin Xiangnan ordered her a cup of milk tea, her heart was quietly moved.

Pang Tong set out westward the following day. He had to cross Xiling and Xinling Counties to reach Baidi County. Huang Zhong was stationed at Baidi City with a hundred thousand troops to guard against an invasion from Yizhou.

Yet at this moment, under the infusion of boundless history and information, his Dao-heart seemed to undergo some sort of transformation. It broke through its final restraint, producing a force capable of interfering with reality. That power was terrifyingly formidable, even surpassing Bai Fengjiu’s current Forbidden Dao.

Moreover, when they had divined Bai Fengjiu’s location, the ancestor of the Tortoiseshell Clan had suffered a backlash from the secrets of heaven. Clearly, someone was protecting Bai Fengjiu, and they had already alerted the enemy. If they dispatched an expert at the Dharma-Body level, it would immediately draw the human race’s powerful cultivators into a counterattack.

Those earlier characters had been unable to force him into submission. He refused to believe that Luo Sen, a fierce and formidable man like that, would be able to force him either. Of course, no matter how highly Lin Hao regarded Luo Sen’s strength, he understood that Dao Ye would ultimately be the victor. This was both his trust in Ji Ming and the result of his keen sixth sense.

But the three-eyed monster had already determined that Lu Tianyu must have seen Xiahou Dun; otherwise, he could never have activated the Purple Cloud Banner.

Another ninth-grade magical treasure! When had Chihuo ever seen so many ninth-grade magical treasures? There was one in his left hand and a pair in his right. He was truly exhilarated.

“Nonsense! If this is supposed to be training, why don’t you go yourself? Why trick me into going through it?” Catherine said, thrusting her sword once more. Old Xie dodged, but Catherine could not stop the momentum of her attack and cleaved a flowering tree in two.
