Volume 1, Chapter 27: A Blushing Sound

Zhou Guoqiang changed into a new outfit and made sure to apply hair wax before heading out, having prepared everything perfectly. He picked up the soda Jiang Weili had given him; she had insisted that he drink it no matter what.

Without this unexpected turn of events, it would have taken Xia Lan at least ten years, if not longer, to reach the Golden Core stage. After all, when it comes to breakthroughs, no one can guarantee success; there are always unforeseen variables.

His face hardened, and he called Miao Donglin over, tossing the turtle shell to him.

"I am heading to the company to handle some matters, then I will go to the hospital," Chu Jing said, kissing Luo Ya lightly.

Man proposes, God disposes. Who could have known that Concubine Yu and the Prince of Wu would suffer such a crushing defeat? Now, she had no choice but to beg for mercy.

The Four Elders of Junshan and Gao Shenghan were also surrounded by the crowd. Like Lu Ping, they found it increasingly difficult to hold their ground amidst the encirclement. Seeing Lu Ping and Liang Jing in the distance, they pulled out all the stops to fight their way toward them.

Taking advantage of the Ghost Yang's confusion, I immediately flicked two golden needles, pinning them into its Heavenly Food and Heavenly Startle acupoints to seal the spirit within its body. Then, I quickly peeled the Soul-Leaving Talisman from Qingzi’s forehead and slapped it onto the face of the Ghost Yang.

Ding Chuan’s eyes rolled back when he heard this, and he nearly fainted from anger. Yue Bing’s tongue was so venomous it could literally kill a man.

Qiao Jingshu stared at Su Jingxi several times before realizing, through the latter’s subtle mention of the Emperor, that she was being warned for overstepping her bounds.

Although the two behemoths were formed of elemental energy, they felt incredibly real. A brilliant golden lion and a Qiongqi beast cloaked in azure flames collided, tearing and grappling with one another; their wild, furious roars were enough to chill the blood.

"Put me down!" Xia Yinhuan protested as Cang Linchen carried her toward the palace. She had already seen the palace maids standing at the gate steal a glance at them, their faces flushing red.

Xing Jue watched the white pigeon fly in from outside, then leaned down to remove the note from its leg and handed it to Xing Mu.

Long Teng gazed into the eyes of the demonic beast and saw, at that moment, a sense of sincerity—it seemed truly eager to follow him. Slowly, Long Teng began to approach the beast.

With this reputation established, he would easily be able to recruit troops and attract men of talent to fulfill his ambitions.

Yet, over these past three hundred years, Liang Hao had relived the memories of the Heavenly Venerable, experiencing every facet of nature; from the sun above to the firefly below, he had comprehended them all one by one.

She closed her eyes, forcing herself to steady her mind. When she opened them and saw the shape the spilled tea had formed on the floor, she gasped in horror.

Seeing that almost all the demonic beasts along the way had perished beneath the Demon-Slaying Formation, he realized only the final nexus point remained. Once he destroyed this, he could finally be at peace and no longer carry the heavy burden of anxiety that had plagued his heart day and night.

As the words fell, an endless rain of blades instantly demolished the grand Palace of the Heavenly Demons, surging onward with unabated momentum to strike at the two demons.

That day, congratulatory calls poured in from all over. Three reception assistants sat outside the hospital room, their brows beaded with sweat as they worked like busy hotline operators.

Since Yun Moyu already had the marks on her body, Gao Wanwan anxiously reminded her that she wouldn't need to be touched by the man again.

Su Wen—a "freak" who kept snakes as pets and joked around with venomous scorpions—what was there left for her to fear?

Although Xia Ruoli was now able to cultivate and possessed a triple-cultivation body, her time spent practicing had been short. Moreover, there had been a period where her spiritual energy had stagnated, so her cultivation level was not yet very high.
