Chapter 36

Or perhaps, is there truly someone else? She could only pray for the latter, as this was not something the Emperor could afford to know.

Fortunately, his vitality was surging and his blood essence potent, allowing his wounds to heal in an instant.

It is said that when these people fall into a deep sleep, they are trapped in nightmares, forced to experience the consequences of their own past misdeeds twice over.

Yet, smoke curled from the chimneys of this village, a clear sign that there were survivors within.

Li Fengqin was in the middle of a music lesson for the children when Sun Houzi beckoned her over to break the news that she was being transferred back to the city. Overjoyed, she clapped her hands and jumped for excitement.

As the independent battalion neared the Xiangshan base, Feng Tian ordered them to halt temporarily.

"Blast him with fire, or he'll charge over and skin you alive in an instant!" Ren Yexiao warned.

But Chi Yubo knew this man was decisive in killing and ruthless in his methods; the number of disciples who had died at his hands recently was beyond counting.

Wu Gang had been staying with Sister Chan for a while and felt uneasy about being such a burden. If he could be of any help, nothing would be better.

The walls of Wuzhou, once majestic and imposing, had almost vanished, as if they had been completely erased.

A moment later, Ge Liang arrived at the backstage area of the competition and whispered to Su Qian, "The one who purchased the painting of the lotus emerging from the water is Master Shen. He admires your talent and wishes to meet you to discuss the artistic conception of the painting and offer a reward." Su Qian nodded in agreement.

Many elders were already seething with rage, but with the old woman present, they dared not speak. It was primarily due to the old woman's temper.

After a quarter of an hour under the shroud of spiritual light, Lin Xiao, who had been traveling at high speed, had transformed into Yun Xiao—the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Destiny Kingdom and the God of War.

Had events not unfolded so suddenly, Shi Shuiyue would likely have obtained this cultivation technique and descended into becoming a great devil.

Long Xinglin had not realized that the soul-devouring lightning caused such immense damage; he had never experienced such a thing before, and Jie had not mentioned it. Now, however, he knew.

Bing Lan scrutinized him carefully: tall and slender, draped in a plain white robe embroidered with gold. His thick brows were slightly knit, his eyes like stars, and he appeared only a few years older than her. Although he was strikingly handsome, he did not look like a member of the Mermaid Clan. The man raised an eyebrow, likely feeling uncomfortable under her gaze.

Before the system entered its dormant state, Ye Xiao stowed his standard long saber into his inventory. He had always cherished his weapons, even those intended only for transition.

"While there is no problem for now, there is no telling what might happen later," Jie said gravely. "She intervened to save the people of the Linglong clan for your sake. Though it wasn't everyone, it took a significant toll on her. I fear her innate blocked meridians might take advantage of her weakened state."

"Stop! Shawn is using you, I have already subdued him. Whatever you do, don't breathe fire!" Panda, currently inside Yun Jie, finally understood. Yun Jie was intentionally provoking Shawn to breathe fire so that he could be obliterated. Yun Jie was not afraid of fire, but Shawn was. He shouted urgently.

In the blink of an eye, the three dice turned to dust. Qin Zheng and Jiang Yin both went limp, collapsing to the ground and gasping for breath, utterly exhausted.

"Don't thank me, you are truly exceptional. If I were the only judge, I would certainly have awarded you first place," Lin Ke said with complete sincerity.

Lu Xici covered her eyes and peeked. She felt as though her soul had transformed into a wisp of vapor, drifting out of her body. After a long while, she looked through the gaps in her fingers; hearing the murmurs around her, she felt as if the world had gone silent for a moment.

The freshly baked crust was crisp yet tender, fragrant with the aroma of egg and milk, while the refreshing matcha filling offered a moderate sweetness. At the perfect temperature, the three elements blended flawlessly, providing Tang Ze with the ultimate culinary delight.

If he truly wanted special treatment, he would have to earn it with his own genuine ability. I simply wanted to secure such a genius for our school in advance.

As expected, Yuan Jianghe and his apprentice arrived that very evening, just as the sky had darkened and the final sliver of sunset still lingered on the horizon.

As for the war, as long as they still had the ability to fight, he would let them be. Tian Youqing was no saint; as long as the conflict didn't reach his doorstep, everything was fine.

Siak and Lilith concealed information regarding the transaction from Duke Ross. The two mobilized personnel from the intelligence headquarters to wait quietly, and finally, once the investigation concluded, the restrictions at Tulun Port were lifted.

As for Sazex, he and Odin chatted as they walked into the house, leaving Rias to entertain Tian Youqing and his companions.

Big Ivan hauled four Highlanders into the courtyard. Einstein, sitting in the carriage, waved at him. The carriage did not pause, continuing down the alleyway until it reached a fork, where it turned onto a main road and sped away.

"Qin Zihao, what did you say? Are you insulting me?" Teacher Hu jumped up, looking like a cat with its fur standing on end.

The bag snatcher looked at the path cleared on the stairs, a smug and mocking grin playing on his lips. He had done this many times before, and every time he had succeeded. In this day and age, no one bothered to interfere; it was an era where one could do as one pleased. Besides, even if one or two people were brave enough to stop him, he wasn't afraid.
