Chapter 63 Driving a Wedge Between Mother and Daughter

Jing Ruoruo fell into the lake with a loud splash.

Xie Jinyu's face was splattered with lake water. She looked down from above at Jing Ruoruo, who was flailing about in the water, a chill rising deep within her heart.

Jing Ruoruo had just attempted to push her into the lake. Fortunately, she had remained on her guard against Jing Ruoruo all along, avoiding falling victim to the scheme.

Had she lowered her guard, she undoubtedly would have fallen into Jing Ruoruo's trap.

Xie Jinyu was currently an expectant mother, and falling from such a height—

"It's fine. The cultivation of this Demonic Butterfly is simply too powerful. Even with the three of us joining forces, it is of no use." Having just fought a fierce battle upon entering, the three of them had already depleted far too much vital energy and blood, making it rather difficult to confront this Demonic Butterfly now.

Kagamine Rin muttered to herself as she recalled the events, wondering why her younger brother, who should have been cooking dinner at this usual hour, had run outside. Moreover, the direction in which he was encountered seemed to lead straight toward the registration point for the nearest Star-Level Tournament.

"If you ask me, you should just take out the Eight Desolations Stele." The Eight Desolations Stele served as the foundation of the Eight Desolations Pavilion and was its most ancient artifact—one even older than the inner sect of the Qian Cave Heaven Realm.

Jun Chen walked closer to Jiuyin, his dark, unfathomable eyes sweeping across the entire battlefield.

The two of them currently found themselves in a sea of green. Towering, giant grass blades, resembling colossal mutations, formed an immense jungle stretching in all directions. They stood right in the middle of this jungle, surrounded nearby by the sand and gravel that had tumbled down alongside them, appearing utterly out of place in this pristine wilderness.

Bai Lan plucked a blue orchid, lowered her head, and gently sniffed it. "It smells quite pleasant." With that, she tossed it into the crystal-clear hot spring water and began to undress.

As for Stone Lei, recalling the abnormally formidable strength Huo Qifeng had exerted when grabbing his hand during the day, a fleeting flash of hesitation crossed his face. However, glancing back at the thirty-odd burly youths standing behind him, a renewed sense of confidence welled up in his heart.

"Once we entered the town, I had them find a place to stay so the family wouldn't feel awkward," Huo Chengbang said with a wave of his hand, looking completely unconcerned.

Seeing Su Xiao's exasperated look, which seemed devoid of the power to refute, Liu Bin grew even more infuriated. He attempted to bypass Su Xiao and force his way into the classroom.

The two previously wrecked mechs in the open space had already been hoisted onto a massive trailer and hauled away from the arena. When the two contestants emerged, their view was blocked by tinted glass; while most of the audience could still see the two tangled, ruined mechs, the contestants themselves remained completely oblivious.

Without a second thought, regardless of consequences, Zhang Yi shoved the dragon whip straight into his mouth, eagerly attempting to swallow it.

"Transfer half a million to my account immediately, and this matter is settled. Otherwise, no matter what background you think you have, if you fail to kill me outright, I will make you regret ever being born into this world! You know very well what Leopard Lord's temper is like. I'll give you one day; if the money isn't there, you'd better start contacting a hospital!" With that, Leopard Lord abruptly hung up the phone.

Zhang Da consciously retreated to keep watch in the outer courtyard, while Zhang Xiong and Liu Muzhi both remained behind. No one acknowledged Hou Liangsheng's minor complaints, leaving him with no choice but to continue speaking on his own.

"Brother Shishen, Brother Zhen'e once mentioned that during your time in Kuaiji, you discovered one of Xu Daofu's dens in the East China Sea. Why did you not seize the opportunity to uproot it?" Wei Jie asked with a trace of perplexity.

This was reality. If you begged someone for a favor, they might treat you reasonably at first, but as time passed, they would likely grow arrogant and completely forget who had initially implored the clan to take him in and help him. They would also forget who had been providing him with precious herbs and spiritual medicines all these years to aid his cultivation and breakthroughs.

"Third Brother, I wonder if other items can be traded for stinky tofu?" Taibai Jinxing asked with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

After all, if the Divine Kings of Brahma Void were to catch up, escaping under such oppressive might would become far easier.
