Volume 1, Chapter 42: When Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road

Xia Zhi was naturally exaggerating; it was not the dead of winter, and there was no way she would freeze or starve. She was simply playing up the situation in hopes of startling Zhao Fangzhi into showing some restraint.

Zhu Di’s words were met with a tacit nod from the team members. Being selected for the national team had become their deepest desire. Once they made the cut, would they ever have to worry about a lack of attention from the ladies?

However, the thought of acquiring a divine-grade battle axe soon made the Bishop feel much less pained.

He could tell that, like Mu Ziyu, who lived by the code of a gentleman, Lou Dai was someone with unshakeable principles.

"Gifts won't grow legs and walk away. Go to sleep first; it won't be too late to look at them when you wake up." Jing Lichen held back Jiu'er, who was about to get up, and tucked her into the covers.

"It’s fine, I could use a break and a cup of tea. Come, sit down, both of you. Don't be so formal, and there's no need to call me 'Old Master.' Just call me 'Teacher'; I am an educator, after all," Xie Fei said, waving his hand to signal Zhou Bai and Yuan to take their seats.

"Who turned on the high beams?" the tall, thin man shielded his eyes from the blinding light and turned to roar.

"Sister, you're always teasing us. Next time you come over, I won't cook for you, especially after I bought so many good ingredients," Yuan Quan complained in mock annoyance.

"...Fine... then let's talk about this first mission..." Damn it, if I had to live for ten thousand years with a ghost system like you, I’d rather lose those ten thousand years of life! Geng Haoshi cursed inwardly.

"Oh, that’s great. Once we go in, just tell Uncle Lin and the others that you’re my boyfriend," Zhang Xiyu looked at Xing Luo with a mischievous smile, taking some delight in his predicament.

Li Xiaotian and Xue Tian could no longer bear to watch and had long since hidden far away. Are you kidding? What if bone fragments or stone shards started flying everywhere? What if they got hurt?

Xuan Miaozi let out a soft cry. The composure on her mature, classical face vanished, and with a slight lift of her slender hand, she swung the White Dragon Whip she held once more.

The Nine-Dragon Sky-Splitting Spear! It used a fire dragon as the spearhead, with eight other dragons coiled around the shaft—a weapon with all-elemental attributes.

Apart from the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and the Minghong Saber, he still couldn't control the other weapons as he pleased. Even the God-Slaying Bow, while he could manifest it, could not unleash even a tenth of its power despite Li Xu’s attempts.

Thinking of this, many cultivators revealed fierce, greedy glares. Among them were those who frequently engaged in murder and robbery, all quietly waiting for Mo Li to appear.

"Everyone, please look." The auctioneer gestured for the guards to bring over a silver tray covered with a red cloth.

How could Li Feng not know who was bidding against him? But was Li Feng the type to let himself be taken advantage of? No, of course not.

The ordinary citizens only saw it as a spectacle; how could they know that dangerous demons were lurking all around them?

Zhou Chen cursed inwardly. Under the immense pulling force, he had no power to resist; not even the stone he was gripping on the ground could prevent him from being dragged away by the suction.

When the time came to attack the imperial palace, wouldn't it just be an internal matter for the Yin-Shang royal family? Even if the Chaoge Legion entered the city, what could they do?

Zhang Wei synthesized another group of island research experts and marine biologists to form a committee, preparing for land reclamation work.

"Hehe, once I digest the experience I’ve absorbed, I'll be able to continue absorbing more," Tang Huo’er laughed.

With the soul resonance regenerated, the Golden Giant Python stopped its resistance against Gao Lingfei. Although it continued to coil around him, it no longer constricted.

However, Zhang Heng’s mental energy was currently only enough to cushion a landing; it was severely insufficient for flight.

Hearing this, Qi Xuan spoke first: "Good, excellent! With the sun hanging high, it's naturally good to walk around. What do you think, Ranzhi?"

Rong Yi listened silently to Qian Ze’s melancholy muttering, completely unable to understand what he was talking about.

Finally, they learned that Bi Shengtian was actually from the War Clan. It was no wonder his combat power was so extraordinary; he had roamed the Immortal Valley for decades without ever tasting defeat.

"In such mountain forests, the immortal energy is so abundant—it’s truly rare. Perhaps I can even obtain some spiritual herbs from the Immortal Domain. In the future, these will allow me to gain connections and resources within the sect I'm infiltrating," Zhou Chen muttered to himself.

Although Eriri going back to change her clothes was a waste of time, Iro did not mind the delay; it was still very early, after all.

Uenqi was left completely bewildered. The news that the Dragon Clan of the Human-Dragon Continent was about to migrate and settle in the Demon Realm had profound implications that were impossible to calculate.

This couldn't be blamed on Jin Haoxuan for being disloyal; it was just that today’s events had made him incredibly excited. Now that those annoying school board members had been dealt with, he could finally heave a long sigh of relief.

As soon as he opened the door to his home, Iro was stunned. Kirino was standing there with a straight face, arms crossed, staring at him with a sharp gaze—the terrifying look of a wife waiting at home for a husband who had been out carousing.

It must be said that he had insisted on bringing Ling'er along to pick up his older sister yesterday just to distract her, and he had even thought he had succeeded! He never expected his sister to ask about it anyway.

As long as the Sages of the Worlds were willing to share, knowledge would continue to accumulate, and their breadth of learning would grow ever richer. Yet, in the original Demon Realm, high-level Sages were as rare as morning stars.

The people checking the guests at the city gate saw a ball of golden light flash by, and before they could react, they were sent flying backward with a loud bang.

Iro had long since thrown the matter of calling in to take leave to the back of his mind; he only wanted to know who "Together Forever" was.

"Nan Wuxiang, you’ve walked right into the trap!" Ji Su, however, completely changed his demeanor. He first responded with a sharp shout, then the golden bell at his waist rang on its own, a melodious sound echoing through the cavern.

The Palm-Print Prophet had sufficient cultivation and had refined the object. Bai Ling had opened the Heavenly Gate, and coupled with the physical body of the demon race, she could hold it. But Nan Wuxiang had managed to hold it using only his physical strength; he had only fallen into the sea at the start because he was caught off guard.

Those wealthy socialites who could not conceive did this to solidify their status at home and keep their husbands.

As the Blood-Dark Divine Power erupted, the avatar of Yan Yuncen, who was just about to approach the Blood-Dark Ability Array, was instantly swallowed by the energy.
