33 33—Western Paradise, a table for two.

Driven by a desire to confirm whether Dai Tingting had truly taken first place, and curious to see what Jin Jiaqi, the runner-up, looked like, Li Xurou decided to visit the official event forum to get to the bottom of it.

His expression suddenly froze. He blinked, unable to believe his eyes, for if his vision wasn't deceiving him, there stood a giant-sized ear of corn before him, with Luna’s beaming face perched right at the top.

"At least I passed out that day, so I didn't spend much money," Pansy thought, her face flushing. She wondered if she had made a drunken fool of herself back then.

The only thing he felt truly guilty about was the duel that had claimed the life of Dumbledore’s sister.

Just then, Zhao Yun led his troops in a flanking maneuver. Fan Chou was shocked and hurriedly ordered his forces to retreat, only to find Zhang He’s detachment intercepting them. Fan Chou commanded his army to form a defensive formation and pull back slowly, but the momentum of Jiang Sheng’s forces was too overwhelming; the retreat quickly devolved into a disorganized rout.

Perhaps some might wonder: given that both Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are backed by billionaire owners with fortunes exceeding ten billion dollars, why does it seem so much harder for Tottenham to sign players than for Chelsea?

Working together, the group managed to keep the evil spirit flustered for a time, though landing a blow proved difficult; after all, in terms of both raw power and reaction speed, Master Tang and his companions were no match for it.

"Arjen, could you let me take this free kick?" Just as Robben was preparing to step up, Baines approached him with a request that caught the Dutchman quite by surprise.

However, Li Ling possessed several supreme divine arts that provided automatic protection, and coupled with the Haotian Mirror, which was specifically designed to counter such measures, even the Primordial Chaos Embryo lost its effectiveness under the mirror's radiance. Naturally, these attacks could not prevail.

In a daze, Liuyun looked down and was astonished to find that the wound had already healed, and even the traces of blood had vanished.

"Wenwen, I truly love you. Please give me a chance! I will work hard to make you happy!" a voice pleaded.

Perhaps the Ice Clan was generally peaceable and friendly by nature; once they realized Xintian had no intention of stealing their ice stones, these clansmen clearly harbored no further hostility toward him.

At the critical moment, Xintian remained surprisingly calm. Resisting the instinct to retreat, he unleashed his vast spiritual power without reservation, striking at the ferocious-looking man in ornate robes before him.

Qilin also learned that each zone was not owned by the Treasure-Splitting Cliff itself, but rather by various shops that had set up business there. These shops leveraged the reputation of the Cliff to sell their wares, though they were required to pay a substantial annual rent, often amounting to tens of thousands or more.

"Lin Yong, let's see how you escape today." With a wave of his hands, purple mist began to seep from his skin, filling the room. Before his bodyguards could even draw their guns, they inhaled the vapor and collapsed, clutching their throats in agony. At the same time, the sound of rapid footsteps echoed in the hallway outside.

The two prominent features on Zhao Jingwen’s chest acted like black holes, powerfully tugging at his gaze and stealing his attention. Even as he told himself not to look, his eyes remained fixed, and a bead of saliva even formed at the corner of his mouth—a classic lecherous expression that was truly contradictory.

This item was protected by an array, making it impossible to probe the interior directly. However, a cultivator could use their spiritual sense in conjunction with the projected array to carefully observe every detail of the object.

Fortunately, Feng Ling finally showed a shred of humanity and didn't abandon us to handle official business; otherwise, my sisters would have hated him to death and secretly finished off that tactless Lu Xiangchen.

"They are my friends, and it was for their sake that things ended up this way, so I hope you can let them go," Lu Qiushi said firmly.

As Feng Ling and the others landed before the cave dwelling of Zhangsun Shulong on the ancient peak, Gu Yi rushed out. Usually aloof, he was visibly agitated, charging toward Feng Ling like a gust of wind and pulling him into a bone-crushing bear hug.

"With me, of course! You have reached the peak of your techniques and inner energy; you must endure some beatings to forcibly elevate your strength and combat experience!" Shui Qilin let out a sinister chuckle.

The Heat responded as James assisted Dampier for a layup. Both sides, intentionally or not, began to focus their efforts on the interior, where the angles of play were more restricted.

"Damn it! Someone else is here? This Kain City is a goddamn mess today!" Tang Hao flicked his left hand, and his spirit weapon, the Mountain-Cleaving Blade, appeared in his grip.

Feng Ling’s muscles tensed, and he instantly retreated to Linglong’s side to shield her. Linglong was also alarmed, scanning the grand hall, but she found no sign of anyone.

With that, Aldrich placed his hands over his chest and began to chant a magical incantation in a soft voice.

After flying for several hours, Wang Xian arrived at the edge of a cliff. Gazing out, he saw only a void; with a cultivator's strength, it was impossible to fly across directly, and one had to rely on mobile spirit soil to cross.

For several days, Wang Xian maintained his pace, but Wu Xueyi began to show signs of exhaustion.

"It's just a feeling. When I look at the computer in my office, it watches from the side as if it actually understands," Hao Rong said casually.
