Volume 1, Chapter 24: Disinterested in Politics

“Many thanks, Young Master…”

Sensing Ji Le’s gaze, Lacey turned her eyes toward him, her expression filled with curiosity and puzzlement.

Yun Mian smiled gently. “That was not my intention. I merely brought back a fox that had gone astray.” He had no desire to confront Mo Qian.

At that moment, Meng Lan reported, “Brother Yang, we’ve become incredibly popular. Our fanbase has been growing explosively every day lately.”

Abbys remembered the first time he played the game. Back then, it had actually made him cook the hand he had cut off himself. The scene had left a deep impression on him.

Zhang Ze wanted to stop those people, but although he opened his mouth and shouted several times, no one heard him. Only then did he remember that he was currently trapped in an illusion, and that everything before him was merely a fantasy.

Especially when facing Yun Dian, a powerhouse of the Dao Tribulation Realm, he had still relied on Xiao Yi’s guidance to beat a Dao Tribulation Realm expert to death with his bare hands. This gave everyone a far deeper understanding of the Battle Saint Physique.

On the outskirts of Cloudwater City, the players often encountered a particular wild creature while out in the wilderness—one that gave them no end of headaches: mantis monsters.

As for Zhao Hao himself, others might not know, but Gao Ming could use the system to inspect his data.

Xie Yannan naturally knew that the topics he was hinting at but unwilling to discuss were certainly related to his people. He had no intention of asking about those private matters either.

The news of Jiang Xiaoqi’s pregnancy delighted both Dong Fang and Yang Youlan. At that moment, they pulled Jiang Xiaoqi this way and that, looking her over from every angle and happily fussing over her for quite some time.

There was also the bright orange chilled jelly, a delicacy with distinctly Dali characteristics. It was made by turning bean flour into a paste and allowing it to set. Usually, it was served cold with plum vinegar, shredded radish, chili oil, and other seasonings. A simpler method was to cut it into thick slices, then spread them with chili oil and sesame oil, creating a flavor all its own.

However, when facing an extraordinarily powerful legendary being, anyone who wished to “persuade” it would need, at the very least, to join forces with the Great Sage Elminster before having any confidence of success.

If it were merely a black mud monster, that would be one thing. Although such a creature was difficult for ordinary mortals to resist, to Kong Mingzi, dealing with it was little more than setting a few fires.

“If I didn’t have this, I might really have been killed…” Itachi was surrounded by Susanoo.

After hearing this, the fat man and the thin man’s expressions became extremely grim. Since Peng Liang had dared to propose such a method, the mid-stage cultivators he mentioned were most likely real. Shen Qing was being far too unconcerned with other people’s lives.

Unfortunately, the moment he finished playing, he collapsed into unconsciousness, and for a while, no one could determine what had caused it.

Although Protein was insane and unreasonable, that did not mean she was stupid. She more or less guessed why Qin Qi had come looking for her. Thus, she turned the tattoo’s point of view toward a pile of rubble.

“How powerful must Tian Lan become before he can dispel that demonic energy?” Zi Yun Ye’s handsome face grew even darker.

Though they still wore the appearance of divine generals, with pearl-inlaid crowns upon their heads and divine weapons or ritual artifacts in their hands, these eight generals now also wore outer robes and jade belts around their waists. Beneath these formal court garments, the Eight Trigrams divine officials naturally possessed a greater measure of authority.

The entire series of movements flowed together seamlessly, clearly leaving no opportunity for anyone else to intervene.

Miserable cries of agony rose without end. The other powerful members of the Ji family were utterly stunned by the sight. Their earlier fighting spirit had vanished completely, and one after another they turned and fled into the distance, running desperately for their lives.

That really did prove effective. The young women’s gazes swept back and forth between the young man and Xue’er.
