Haolan froze. No wonder she gave him a feeling so similar to Huailizi. But where was Huailizi now?

With that, he grabbed a slice of pizza and began to eat. Since Haolan had skipped breakfast and was an enormous glutton, he finished the entire box of pizza in less than three minutes.

Shen Chuanxing had spent a fairly long time with Mo Lingxi and Dugu Jian. He considered himself reasonably familiar with Mo Lingxi, so when he heard that he would have to answer a question, he was still quite confident.

Wen Yanqiu possessed the ability to capture an entire scene in a single glance and remember it without forgetting. In order to identify the painting’s true appearance, he had therefore asked to inspect it and copy it from memory.

In truth, the rolling thunderclouds were of course not Heaven’s punishment. They had been conjured by the Southern Pole Immortal’s attendant, who, enraged by Zixin’s words, had activated the magical treasure in his possession.

Yet Zixin happened to meet the necessary conditions. If demon mimicry involved cultivating secret arts through a physical connection, then Zixin and the Tree of Hope shared a unity of fortune.

“Senior, please teach me how to draw comics! I’ve long heard that you’re an excellent comic artist as well! Please, you must teach me!” Mingli Eriko looked exceptionally excited.

Liu Xiang had been ambushed for no reason and lost his life unjustly. His resentful spirit refused to disperse, and as the years passed, his yin energy grew heavier. In accordance with the wish he had held in life, he transformed into a great bird—the yaksha bird. Each night, it perched atop a great tree, snatching the eyes, hearts, and livers of passing travelers, until it became a monstrous demon.

Although Lin Suyi had always seemed to have some sort of background, the owner of this establishment was Duan Rushuang, the only one among the Four Great Beauties who was not kept by a man.

Li Li rose and walked over to Cai Linong. She gently took his hand without saying a word.

Huan Yifan stood with one hand behind his back, his long robe trailing to the ground and his chin slightly raised. An aura of nobility, born of long residence in a position of power, radiated from him, as though the entire world had submitted at his feet.

“You’re driving me crazy. Just tell me whose place she went to and what she looks like, that’s all.” Ma Zhong asked anxiously.

“Impossible.” Lin Ya suddenly spoke from the side, and only then did Xue Mengmeng realize that Lin Ya was here too.

After tidying everything up, she could still hear the commotion outside. The place was exceptionally lively, so, driven by curiosity, Hua Yueling pushed open the door and walked out.

Hua Tiancheng had fought his way up step by step and possessed extensive combat experience. His fearful appearance earlier had been deliberate, intended to lull those hired thugs into complacency.

Now that she was breathing the fresh mountain air, she could not help praising herself fervently in her heart. She really was clever enough to make one cry. How could anyone be this intelligent?

The water was as clear as that in the cave, transparent to the bottom, but there were no living creatures in it whatsoever. There were no aquatic animals—not fish, shrimp, or anything else.

“Who says Liu Bowen’s tomb contains only the art of immortality? Liu Bowen was a divine man of his generation. Whether in feng shui or Taoist magic, he was an unsurpassed existence. There must be plenty of good things inside his tomb.” The old man spoke to Qin Hu, effectively giving him a lesson.

“Hua Tiancheng, that was how things were at first. But while you were unconscious, on the night of August first, someone cut off Xu Zhicheng’s manhood at the root and threw it into a fish tank to feed the fish. They also smashed his head with a thick glass ashtray until it was a bloody mess. He still hasn’t regained consciousness and may become a vegetable.”

He extended his hand toward the front and was about to place it on the main gate when he stopped. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly set it down. Nothing happened, and the situation he feared did not occur. At least, he could not yet see any sign of a mechanism.

“Clean up the pavilion beneath the Sacred Tree, then put some daily necessities inside. From now on, this fellow will live in the pavilion beneath the Sacred Tree,” Ding Hao said. When he had prepared to bring Rabana into the group, he had already decided how to house him. The so-called Sacred Tree was an oak grown from an oak acorn after sanctification.

Killian seized Tony by the arm, then sent him flying with a direct shoulder throw. Tony crashed into the ground with a boom, smashing out a large crater.

Li Fenghu wore an incredulous expression, then gradually grew dejected. His powerful strike had actually been caught so effortlessly, which wounded his pride, although he had not used his strongest attack.

Seeing this, Ye Yun’s expression also grew solemn. He immediately threw a similar punch, and surging dark dragon power roared outward in a violent collision.

While fleeing, I also discovered that the road ahead was not only slanted but growing narrower and narrower. A stream ran alongside it, separating the two sides. In my haste, however, I could not make out how deep the stream was.

Moreover, because their status differed from that of ordinary people, they had no way to go to the capital except to carry out missions or follow orders from above.

Yifeng withdrew both his spear intent and the spear in his hand, then glanced at the sky. It was getting late. He had originally planned to leave the city and earn some merit points, but he was running low, with only 204 remaining. Unfortunately, killing was forbidden within the city.

Brother Lu saw how arrogant Qin Feng was, gritted his teeth, and followed him out. He refused to believe that a genius like himself could lose to a mere Level Ten Inner Force practitioner.

Before coming to the hospital ward, he had already learned from the attending physician about Qiuhua’s relapse the previous night.

He rummaged through the bushes for a long while but still could not find the Black Jade Spirit Serpent, leaving him somewhat dejected.

“That’s good...” Qingjin was not as heartbroken as Zihan had imagined. Although he seemed faintly sorrowful, he was actually very happy.

The fare was twenty yuan. The portly driver took the money from Meng Que and cheerfully sped away. Under the strange looks of the hotel’s two security guards, Meng Que also walked toward the entrance. The hotel combined dining, entertainment, and leisure facilities: the first and second floors were restaurants, while the third and fourth floors were entertainment venues.
