He drew his bow once more, but his hand stopped at the quiver. When he glanced down, he realized that, without noticing, only a single arrow remained. Once he fired it, there would be none left.

“Master Fan, Uncle Liang, the young master requests your presence,” a mounted man said as he caught up with them.

For an ordinary martial artist, breaking through an entire realm within a few days was more difficult than ascending to heaven.

“What is he doing?” Looking at Fenfu in confusion, Naraku was stunned. He had thought Fenfu had been killed by the White Emperor’s power just moments earlier, yet now Fenfu had reappeared—and had personally sealed Shukaku, the Sand Village’s proudest source of power.

He Jingmo was injured, and Xia Qiqi immediately transformed into a devoted bedside nurse, staying by his side all day and carefully tending to his daily needs, meals, and wounds.

Luo Ye thought that being saddled with relatives like these was truly unfortunate. Then again, they had better not provoke him, or he would have no patience left to reason with them.

“Ye, Cang, this is no time for a family reunion. Everyone, make haste and return to the campsite!” Liu Yitong said gravely.

He knew me well, as though we had spent many years together day and night. Yet he was one of the Mo family—the true Mo family, not one of those advisers who might be hiding in the stone well. His skill and intelligence were extraordinary, and I was certain I had never seen him before.

When Ouyang Shuai saw Zhou Yun gently take Fang Chang’s arm, he could no longer move. He knew that once he left, there would truly be no going back.

After leaving the airport, they went straight to the railway station and bought high-speed rail tickets to Tengchong for that very day. By the time they arrived in Tengchong, it was already past seven in the evening.

When all is said and done, human beings are merely living creatures. Survival is the first principle of every living thing. Before survival, gentlemanly conduct is nothing but nonsense.

“Stop dreaming. Anyone can tell from this young master’s bearing that he comes from no ordinary background. Do you really think he would take a liking to you?” Bystander Two mocked.

“Then who are you?” Hearing Ye Yi’s answer, Ye Xiong’s furious expression slowly darkened.

At that thought, Xia Yuan raised his head and gazed out the window. After a moment’s consideration, an unintentional smile appeared on his face.

As Ye Feng silently watched the battle, another streak of white light suddenly flew past beside him. It transformed into a human figure and landed behind a large tree several dozen meters away.

Did he make all this especially for me? Was this his way of apologizing? Lu Xi gazed at the table laden with dishes, feeling touched, and abandoned the idea of going out to eat.

“What are you doing? Why have you stopped your car here?” a traffic officer setting up a cordon approached and demanded.

“Mm… all right… hehe…” Gong Wuxie could not hold it in any longer and burst into loud laughter. Yun Zijing was always saying that hearty laughter could relieve stress, and she was right. Once he began laughing, he felt completely at ease, and much of the gloom in his heart dispersed. His A-Jin really was a treasure.

What Mu Qiu did not know was that this single indulgence had planted a seed within Leng Yan’s body. The next time they met would be when Leng Yan was heavily pregnant and on the verge of giving birth.

The sword Never Forget in Ye Feng’s hand seemed to sense the murderous fury in its master’s heart and began to ring uncontrollably. Yet unlike the magnificent sword beams on the Vast-Heaven Continent, which could easily stretch hundreds of meters, the blade glow in Ye Feng’s hand was barely a meter long. Even so, with every sweep, it seemed capable of severing the throats of every insectoid present.

However, the figure of one billion still lingered in He Meilan’s mind. After all, Liang Enterprise had originally been sold off for only around eight hundred million.

At that thought, he clenched both hands into fists, and a trace of predatory intent gradually stirred in the depths of his eyes.

When Gu Shen set sail from the end of the Old World, he made a decision… to awaken several people sleeping within their dreams and grant them permission to comprehend the three fire seeds of this place.

In her previous life, she had spent more than a decade abroad, so English was actually the easiest subject for her.

At a time like this, if Osmanthus Television Station did not seize the opportunity to rise, then once the mobile-internet era arrived, it would not be quite accurate to say it had no chance at all—but making a name for itself would certainly no longer be easy.

Jia Rong had made himself perfectly clear at the time: as long as they made good use of their connection with the Director of the Imperial Academy and obtained some valuable materials concerning the civil-service examinations, the family would never again have to worry about lacking someone who could enter government through the examinations.

Moon Yunge’s slightly pursed lips curved into a faint smile, and she murmured, “I’m puzzled as well. Why hasn’t that person made a move yet?”

“Yes, General!” The soldier caught Liu Qing’s severed left hand, placed it in a cloth bag, and led several men away to make preparations.

Su Ge covered his face at once. Damn it, things had already gone this far, and you still needed her to admit it personally before you would believe her?

If they had been targeting her alone, she would not have been so angry. But the other side had laid hands on the person she valued and cherished most.

The young man, meanwhile, stared at Su Fan’s handsome cheek with intense jealousy, a hint of malice flickering in his eyes.

Ye Zi walked over to Gao Peng, who sat dazed before his desk, and said, “You should head back early. Have a safe journey tomorrow.” After speaking, she cast Gao Peng a resentful look and left the laboratory.

Sima Dan had yet to object when Chu Suanzi immediately dismissed all the eunuchs and palace maids. She chose to trust Gao Jingzong. After all, the reputation of Gao Jingzong, the Immortal Physician, had long since become deeply rooted in everyone’s hearts; he would never do anything that might ruin his own name. Chu Suanzi turned to Gao Jingzong with an inquiring look.

Hong Xiu carried the cold meal that Gao Jingzong had left untouched for a full hour toward the kitchen to have it reheated. But just as she reached the camp entrance, her vision suddenly blurred, and a middle-aged man in a blue-green robe collided with her, knocking the tray from her hands.

If he acted immediately, it would be extremely disadvantageous for Su Fan. He still could not determine whether Wu Mingchuan had any other companions.

Duo Fu returned near evening, while Jinxi’er did not come back until nightfall. Chu Huaixian waited for him with desperate anticipation. Through the bright window, he saw that Jinxi’er’s face was ashen and that he dragged his feet as though unwilling to enter.

Using vast sums of money, Gao Jingzong launched an overwhelming advertising campaign throughout the areas surrounding Jiankang, spreading word everywhere of the coming northern campaign. He also paid several hired supporters to stir up public sentiment.

As for the Second Young Master Fang, he sobbed so hard that he could barely make a sound. It was the first time Chu Huaixian had ever seen a man cry like that. But whose fault was this grief?

“The letter has been delivered into your hands. The green hills will remain, and the clear waters will flow on.” Nan Ke clasped his fist toward Ling Yun, then turned, mounted the Fierce Mountain Beast, and galloped out through the city gates.
