Chapter 54

This was of the same nature as the demon Hena. How did Wu Sanniang know so much without even moving a muscle? It seemed I had to return to the starting point. I grabbed her by the neck and squeezed hard.

At that moment, Wu Gang sent a highly tempting message, and Zhang Yi suddenly felt a stirring desire.

"Hehe, these two guys are famous in Fengdu City. I've done business with them," the fat man replied with a lecherous grin.

"Although you have not revealed your prowess since arriving here, the mere fact that you can pass through the Divine Pillar speaks volumes. You are undoubtedly extraordinary. Am I right?" Li Cheng asked with a thin face full of certainty and natural confidence.

Thinking of my mysterious origins, the irreplaceable memories, and the fact that my grandmother could actually be my wife—how old was I really? Finally, there was this eerie tomb chamber. Calling it a miracle would not be an exaggeration, yet fate's design was far more complex than a mere burial or treasure hoard.

To let go and act freely was Huan Xuan’s greatest concession to Hou Liangsheng’s authority; however, Wei Jie seemed to have a different opinion on this move.

Of course, the second round was similar—neither entirely difficult nor simple. But if it was just about refining the pills from the formula provided by the organizers, that would be too easy for an alchemist who had passed the first round.

"The one on the left is called Changsun Song, and the one on the right is Changsun Daosheng. They are brothers, with Changsun Song being the elder!" Tuoba Gui approached the two, patting their shoulders as he spoke to Wei Jie.

From Tang Yi’s words, one could discern disdain and arrogance, as if he looked down upon the competition entirely.

"Ye Fei!!!" Xuan Ye shouted loudly, unfurling a scroll in his hand. A ghostly light surged toward Song Ming.

He was indeed hot-tempered, but often at moments like this, he preferred not to show it—there was no need; he kept it quietly in his heart.

"Ah!" Zhou Ruosu cried out. Gao Yu hurried over to check if she was hurt.

"So your Uncle Gu gave them his last hundred yuan again?" Xia Yiyun raised an eyebrow.

At least from Yang Batian’s words, they learned that Lin Tianyao knew the effects of the technique, so things should be fine. Besides, Lin Tianyao could summon spirit beasts, making him an opponent no ordinary person could match.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Jianlin finally quieted down, but his face remained full of anxiety and worry.

The White-Browed Great Sage suddenly realized that the Elixir of Immortality in his hand had somehow appeared in the other’s possession.

Looking at her mother’s face, which seemed aged by decades in an instant, Ruan Xintong felt deeply unfilial.

Mo Ziyu stretched her hand out the window, catching a falling snowflake and watching it slowly melt in her palm.

"The wigs are all in the cargo box. We can only retrieve our things once the power plant is completed. For now, we have to make do," Long Ranran explained.

With a roar, the Golden Cudgel was gripped tightly in Dao Xiang’s hand, swirling like a dragon playing in water, full of imposing momentum.

Thinking of this, Yun Qian sighed deeply. Was she naturally a fickle person or had the Prince of Yun influenced and assimilated her?

"Then I won’t be polite," the Iron Fist King declared, launching his strongest attack against Guangzi.

"Huh? Brother Ye, why is that car being towed away?" Song Shanshan and two others had just come out of the fashion store when they saw the BMW being dragged off.

"Is it Xingyue?" Feng Ming also looked at the letter’s contents, furrowing his brows tightly as he asked Yun Qian.

But the two seemed to have not heard me at all, not responding. The Tabby Cat turned around and led us down the corridor.

The red color stabbed sharply into Yun Qian’s eyes. She held Ye Mei’s shoulder with one hand and reached to check his wound with the other, but her hand trembled uncontrollably.

"I... I still can’t quite figure out what’s going on..." Duan Qing, still stunned, could hardly think clearly about the situation.

Tang Songluo could even imagine the white-clad man revealing a meaningful smile, as if the light in his eyes was deliberately warning others of his scheming.

Elder Yao stared fixedly at the crimson fruit that appeared in Ye Chen’s hand, rubbing his eyes in disbelief as he slowly approached.

The Taoist hat seemed to intimidate Captain Guo somehow. Normally sharp-tongued, he now spoke plainly, simply recounting what he knew. I also explained some things but didn’t mention the ghost-catching matters.

A pillow suddenly flew over; Ning Zhixiu shifted his step, and the pillow struck the face of the person entering the door.

Lin Ziyu nodded as she watched Su Zimo’s retreating figure, feeling that she could find not a trace of the innocent demeanor she had when with Lin Ziyi.

Though saying this made her feel somewhat shameless, since Lin Nanyi’s poisoning was entirely the original owner’s doing.

Then she retook the imperial examination. People called her a young prodigy, unaware that all she had now was the accumulation of her previous life.

That night, President Wei tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Having met Princess Jeongmyeong of Joseon only once, there was no question of love at first sight, but he admired her appearance.

Ye Mu told the story’s ending hurriedly, but she roughly understood what had happened six hundred years ago.

At that moment, she flung open the door to the wooden cabin. Yun Luo rushed out only to find a dozen merfolk armed with harpoon-like weapons confronting Xue Li and the others.

In the past, there had been the Nine Hells, connecting several realms. But now, with the disappearance of the Nine Hells, such convenience was lost.

The sultry weather always made one irritable, and with recent events, An Muxi wore a frown all day long.

Feeling Ning Miaoxuan’s gaze, Qi Yurui suddenly lifted his eyes. Ning Miaoxuan dodged too late and bumped into Ning Zhixiu’s head.
