Volume One, Chapter 24: She Develops a High Fever

The roster has been found, but the whereabouts of the Imperial Jade Seal remain unknown. Judging by a conversation between Wen Moqing and Bixiao a couple of days ago, it seems the court officials have been voicing grievances over Yan Liyou, a convict, continuing to reside in the Qinglian Palace. Unable to withstand the collective petitioning of his ministers, Wen Jingyuan intends to summon Yan Liyou back to the imperial capital, leaving the pursuit of the Jade Seal solely to Wen Moqing.

"The conditions here are so good, yet you're renting it to me for a thousand—don't you feel like you're losing out? Besides, this villa is yours; there's really no need for you to rent it," Song Shanshan voiced her confusion. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was strange about this.

Unexpectedly, just as they had finished half their meal, the sound of footsteps echoed from outside the door. Judging by the sound, there seemed to be several people approaching.

"Duan Qing?!" Seeing the transformation in Duan Qing’s body, Yin Xu immediately exclaimed his name with an expression of deep concern.

"Can you tell me how you knew that? We haven't met before, have we?" Qin Yue pulled herself together, reverting to her previous indifference, and looked at Ye Chen with the curiosity of a child.

Luo Su truly did not fear her and opened her mouth to repeat herself. At that very moment, however, a crisp "slap" rang out as Tang You’er struck her across the face once more.

Han Yan lay there with her eyes tightly shut, a faint look of pain on her face. Her cold features appeared even paler, shimmering with a subtle luster under the bright moonlight.

Severely wounded by the Heavenly Emperor, Duan Qing did not hear the thoughts Yin Xu had confessed to Yin Lan. Seeing them still locked in a standoff, he stubbornly forced himself to ignore the excruciating pain in his body, channeling his spiritual energy to cast a spell.

Tang Songluo nodded, and the group followed the youth, asking no questions and offering no skepticism, as if they had known all along that the boy would be there.

Before they could react, Lin Can executed a "weaving" maneuver, landing a punch on each of their stomachs.

While Yi Ye Zhi Qiu and Long Teng were busy preparing to attack the base, Yun Qianqian had already set off with her Burning Tailed Fox to grind for quests.

The moment the class bell rang, Ling Xiao received a call from Old Man Liu, who told him to come over to his house. Though he did not know the reason, Ling Xiao agreed.

Chen Ziyun’s teeth chattered, the first time in his life he had felt such rage. Yet, the expression on his face remained as calm and gloomy as a pool of stagnant water.

Ning Xu eased his breathing, took one last look at "Vierli," and then turned away, looking utterly lost.

He closed his eyes in agony, waiting to taste the bitterness of defeat—an indescribable gloom flooding his heart.

Perhaps because Ning Xu had been keeping secrets about Su Mei, Su Hairong had lately been directing all her calls to Su Meng instead.

"..." The Ten Demon Generals were sweating—sweating profusely. They had known this person was devious the moment they received the battle report, but they hadn't imagined she could be this wicked.

After thinking for a few minutes, Yue Peng sent a call request to Lyon. Only a moment later, Lyon’s image appeared on the screen in front of Yue Peng.

The first announcement stated that a massive demon army had invaded the God Realm, and the Lord of Gods, filled with righteous indignation, had decided to dispatch troops to the continent to punish the culprit... As for who exactly this culprit was, that remained a matter of personal interpretation.

Lan Jiyu had never been one to wait for others, yet she had waited for Ning Yunxiao for so long.

Of course, the magnificence and beauty were things of the past. Having been left unattended for so long and used to imprison hundreds of thousands of residents, one could only imagine what it looked like now.

"What is going on? Do you all have nothing better to do? Why are you gathered here arguing?" An elder happened to pass by and hurried over to investigate the commotion upon seeing the crowd.

The God race's troops seemed to have reached the sub-base at the foot of the opponent's slope just as they broke through the blockade.

It was as if nothing had happened; at least for Dong Fu, nothing had indeed happened.

Mayor Jerome of Chicago was slamming his desk in a fit of rage at City Hall. With the re-election fast approaching, Jerome had performed well over the past few years and had a very strong chance of winning. He had never expected such an incident to occur at this critical juncture—was this not an attempt to sabotage him?

"Brother Taiyi, they have already started fighting," Yuan Cheng, sitting cross-legged on the back of the six-winged beast, sensed the powerful fluctuations of the domain battle and said to Taiyi with a faint smile.

The four of them caught their breath and began to meditate to regulate their energy. After all, whether they were returning to save someone or proceeding with the treasure hunt, they needed to be in peak condition. Thus, they stopped talking and focused on their own meditation.

Because going directly to Mount Langye to dig for the treasure would attract countless people to snatch it within half a day, they had to take a long, arduous detour. This would lead away those coveting the treasure while saving them a great deal of trouble during the excavation.

"This young lady has extraordinary beauty; wearing the fine silk of Moon Blue will make her skin look even fairer..." This was said to Shen Mi, who blushed and offered a shy smile.

The Ghost-Faced Ancient Jade sat cross-legged under the temple eaves. The rain fell like a burst dam, becoming heavier and faster, lashing wildly at Ye Qingjue, Diwu Mo, and Shang Wushang, who sat in the courtyard. With their eyes shut tight, the three felt nothing; they had been drawn into an illusion.

Tornadoes and sea waves formed one after another; the world seemed to have been shifted onto the ocean. Yang Shaojie knew his chance to leave had arrived. The moment Zhang Tian exerted force to repel Wang Fei, the two simultaneously spread their wings and flew high into the sky.
