Perhaps it was because so much had happened, but after Lou Nanzhi returned to the dormitory and finished washing up, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Her mind was filled with everything that had occurred lately; it was truly more dramatic than her previous life, rising and falling like a roller coaster. As she pondered, she gradually closed her eyes, though she had no idea how many hours of sleep she actually managed to get. When Sister Wu woke her, Lou Nanzhi dragged her exhausted body out of bed. As usual, she changed into her uniform and went downstairs to have breakfast with the staff. "Manager Lou!" Just as she and Sister Wu had finished collecting their meals and were about to find a seat, Lou Nanzhi saw Fu Kun in the distance heading toward... After all, the ruler of the Tianyu Kingdom, Emperor Tianyu, had yet to appear, and he was a true powerhouse at the Martial Saint realm. But a moment later, she shook her head and let it go. Still, she felt a vague intuition that she was getting closer and closer to the truth. In less than a minute, the battle was over; not one of the five or six hundred Yin family disciples had been spared. The hundreds of intermediate-level students watched Su Yang’s retreating figure in stunned silence. Lu Shan saw that many people had prepared numerous chests, clearly filled to the brim with berries or jewelry of equivalent value. On the human side, including Emperor Tianyu and the other great emperors, as well as Emperor Feng, there were already ten great emperors. Thanks to the fact that revenue was a trade secret and hadn't been leaked, otherwise "Yipinxiang" would have likely attracted even more jealousy. People from over six departments had locked onto him. In less than two seconds, over twenty super-energy oscillation cannons and thirty high-frequency missiles came streaking toward him. In the old society, where science was not yet advanced, consanguineous marriage was a very common occurrence. However, with the progress of society, modern people have long understood the dangers of such unions, so this phenomenon has essentially disappeared. Dozens of people began to scatter and flee; neither Qing Lan nor Master Wu’s bodyguards cared about professional ethics anymore, each sprinting wildly toward the exit of the valley. "What!" The Skeleton Spirit was startled and hurriedly ran out. Hua Qiang gestured to Cui Xiao with his head, then followed, with Cui trailing right behind him. Little did they know, Yu Xuanji was all smiles, looking as if she were not angry at all, yet the coldness hidden deep within her eyes was sharper than the first snow of winter, chilling one to the bone.

"Go away, go away!" The scruffy-bearded man couldn't stand it anymore and shoved the Gold Finger aside. "Don't spout such nonsense. I’ll buy some No. 8 funds and follow suit." If they were outside, he would have likely stepped right over him. Lu Manman had already heard most of the story; someone must have exposed her identity on the forum, which was why so many players had come to gawk. Even if they didn't know whether the post was true or false, it couldn't stop the players' gossiping nature. Lu Manman thought she could get away with playing dead, but Liu Nian kept calling her every day to seduce her with news about the game. Just as everyone was feeling a mix of emotions, lost and uneasy about the future, a short man in a suit arrived. Upon seeing him, everyone present felt their spirits lift. The room featured a luxurious and grand decor style, with massive floor-to-ceiling windows, dark red velvet curtains, and a matching hand-printed Persian rug on the floor. Wang Xiu curled his lip in disdain; sure enough, some people don't shed tears until they see the coffin, truly thinking he was joking. Suddenly, a dark skill hit the Silver Wolf, triggering a critical strike with an incredibly high damage value. The Silver Wolf raised its head, let out a howl, and fell to the ground. Upon hearing Xia Yina’s words, Wu Yuze’s expression changed instantly. The excitement vanished from his face, replaced by a deep frown. "Once you reach the East Sea, do not look for trouble, but do not fear it either," Pei Wufu said, ignoring the interruption and continuing. Xiao Yue also felt pity for that senior. If not for special circumstances, that senior might have reached a higher realm and lived longer, for the higher a cultivator’s cultivation, the longer their lifespan. Luo Ping announced his price with similar nonchalance, looking just like the young man in the early stages of the Primordial Spirit realm, as if these high-grade spirit stones meant nothing to him. At this moment, Shen Mingfang was sitting on the second floor, accompanied by his brother Pang Rong, drinking to calm his nerves. Only the two brothers were at the table, and the atmosphere was inevitably somewhat gloomy; Shen Mingfang’s complexion did not look much better than when he had arrived. The moment they met, they exchanged information, and both were shocked. This was the headquarters of the Gur Empire’s Third Expeditionary Force—a military base floating in the air, just like the video footage transmitted back by the American Mars rover "Pathfinder." Just as Scarface was about to make a move, his peripheral vision caught sight of Nalan Qi in front of him. "Heh, I said, don't waste your efforts. Just wait for me!" Turning his head to glance at Tie Muyun, the giant python turned and slithered away. Today, looking at this bloody scene, Hun Jianglong didn't know if it was an enemy seeking revenge or some other reason, but if he let Chu Feng and Zhao Jing go, his nightclub would be finished. Never mind the others, even the Qing Gang would make his life a living hell. The three hyenas lunged like starving tigers, pouncing from the front, left, and right, opening their blood-stained maws with flesh still clinging to their teeth. Hua Mulan kept fiddling with her teacup. She felt as if she had returned to that time, and seeing Qiumuling Hunjing throwing himself upon her, she slammed her eyes shut. She did not want to recall that tragedy again; she never wanted to.

Pang De shouted inside for a long time, but apart from attracting two jailers who beat him with sticks, he gained nothing. This time, these fellows had attacked, but unexpectedly, they ended up slinking away in defeat, leaving behind many dead. Climbing out of bed feeling depressed, Shi Wei forced herself to pull it together, but the moment she went outside, she felt invigorated. At this moment, the enemy cavalry charged like a surging tide. Seeing that Xu Sen was still hesitating in the woods, Lin Zhong shouted again. Su Xi was solemn when she told these lies; Zhou Rong couldn't see a single flaw, and the window was closed once more. Su Muwan hesitated for a moment, feeling that since her relationship with Jiang Yu was currently innocent, there was no need to hide it. After Luo Ling confirmed that she was truly unharmed, she turned to look at Huo Yuxi, gracefully stretching her arms. A humanoid sea shadow appeared behind her, and two large water tornadoes hovered on either side of her. "I'm sorry, I refuse. I know my talent is poor, but I will rely on my own efforts to enter the inner sect," Huo Yuhao said firmly. He didn't want Zilin to get the idea of running away at this moment, nor did he want her to dampen the mood he had just sparked. Xi Mi’s head buzzed; anger and shock filled his chest. Blood rushed to his head, his face flushed red, and his eyes almost sparked with fire. After Ye Qinghuang and the others exchanged opinions in the garden, they didn't say anything more and headed toward the main courtyard. "Fine!" Ma Paopao had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the job; who told him to take so many benefits from the regiment commander’s daughter earlier? "Eh, Lingge, you’re actually number one in the Yang Fish." Sun Jianyue, who had leaned over at some point, let out a cry of surprise when she saw the number on Mu Lingge’s palm. Although Ye Weichen had said he would help him get what he wanted, he was greedy and wanted to capture more evidence to hold over Captain Ye once he went to the military. Otherwise, he would suffer quite a bit in the service later. Borrowing the glow of the sunset, Han Yi aimed at a wild rabbit. He concentrated, and once he was sure of a precise hit, he released his fingers instantly. Then, he immediately picked up a second arrow and aimed quickly, firing it before the first arrow had even struck its target.
