51 Honoring the Adoptive Father

With a splash, Liu Ningyou broke through the surface of the lake, coughing twice as she cast a cold glance around the cave before her. Never had she imagined that behind the nine-headed monster lay such a hidden paradise.

Han Feng suddenly let out a cold, hollow chuckle, taking a deep breath that drew all the surrounding spiritual mist into his abdomen before blowing it out forcefully. Instantly, it formed a violent current resembling a gale-force hurricane that swept across his opponent. Even with the protective blue light shed from the azure jade bottle, the adversary could not help but sway uncontrollably.

"Please go ahead, General Murong." The deputy generals snapped out of their daze, offering smiling, courteous remarks as they escorted Murong Ye out of the military camp.

Chen Zixun nodded at her to signal that he was unharmed, simultaneously halting his smile as he turned his gaze toward Noble Consort Ying.

With that, Jun Biyin regained her customary composure, and with a flick of her flowing sleeve, she stepped forward with complete and utter confidence.

Dart did not speak, merely nodding thoughtfully before shifting his entire focus back to the actions of the Cazlan Republic on the screen.

"Who are you?" Mu Xiaoxiao could be excessively direct at times. Such extreme directness was bound to breed resentment, though she was entirely oblivious to this—and even had she known, she likely would have acted no differently.

One lap, two laps, three laps passed. Xiuran kept count in his heart, yet the person up there still had not called a halt. By the fourth lap, Xiuran once again ran up before Nalan Zi, expecting to hear some sort of command, only to find that the person above still ignored him entirely, letting him pass by the side.

As the hour was late, Zhou Xin issued his orders and retired to rest. Yet as he departed the command cabin, a heavy expression remained on his face, clearly still troubled by the situation on the planet's surface.

Ever since she expressed her desire for a divorce, she had been stripped of her freedom. Had the imperial edict not arrived at the Sun residence, she likely would have "died of illness" locked away within those walls.

Yet, getting a glimpse of Bai Ling using the restroom sparked rather fanciful thoughts in Chu Haoran. He genuinely felt a twinge of envy for this soldier, only for the fellow to fail to appreciate the sight—what a terrible waste.

Then, a pair of canvas shoes abruptly entered Han Han's field of vision, and she immediately knew to whom they belonged.

"You!" Xiong Yasheng was so enraged he felt as though he might grind his teeth to dust, but he dared not continue. He truly did not dare to pick a fight with Chu Haoran; his own meager skills were inferior even to those of a newly arrived servant, and if it came to blows, he wouldn't last a single second.

"Heh heh..." Uncle Chu gave a bitter laugh and said, "No wonder Haoran is so confident. It seems he has crafted a powerful weapon. This master of ours is truly formidable." Uncle Chu looked again at the number before him, which had now shifted to 5.

The Rookie Challenge first featured a team of first-year players selected from the previous draft competing against a team of second-year players from the current draft, followed by rookies choosing to challenge star players from various clubs, carrying a strong sense of newborn calves having no fear of tigers.

Even so, no one dared to step foot into the giant sinkhole, for the danger still lingered.

Feng Lixin seemed unable to bear the truth. His already frail body swayed unsteadily for a moment before collapsing into limp helplessness.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and a bullet pierced Chu Haoran's chest. His eyes instantly widened, his body shuddered, and with a heavy thud, he dropped to his knees.

Her gaze swept across the surrounding scenic beauty, finally resting upon the backs of the master and disciple walking hand-in-hand not far ahead. A sudden sourness welled up in her nose, and tears blurred her vision.

Huangfu Ye could hardly abandon her locked up like this without a way out, refusing to let her go to the engagement ceremony, could he?

"Divine Doctor Lin, do you have any further questions?" Lowering his sleeve, Ji Hongwu looked at Lin Lei.

A flash of lightning tore through the sky, and several thugs accustomed to the dark squinted simultaneously. Then, they caught sight of a figure drifting forward like a ghost.

The battalion commanders in the large tent nodded one after another. Yian had a hundred thousand troops, Chuli had a hundred thousand, and Li Mu alone commanded eighty thousand, garrisoning ten miles away and utilizing the high ground to evade the prying eyes of the State of Qin.

That individual in the preliminary realm of the lark was none other than the youth with flowing hair and lavish attire who had betrayed the academy—Yun Jing, as mentioned by those earlier.

He had heard that a poor mind was a sickness, and fearing it might be contagious, he decided it would be wisest to stay well away from Jiang Fengyi.

Before long, seven or eight cultivators and a dozen ordinary mortals emerged from the courtyard in the woods. Though somewhat sallow and thin, their expressions had entirely cast off their despondent air.

"Yang Haoxuan, since you are courting death, don't blame me!" Xiao Chen could no longer contain himself; he was determined not to let this bastard off easily.

Watching the general sent by Tony Swell, Chu Shen was silent for a moment before once again pulling a premium cigar from his exquisite cigarette case. He lit it, placed it between his lips, took a fierce draw, exhaled a cloud of smoke into the air, and continued speaking to himself.

Just as Nalan Yufan's words faded, the leader of the cannibalistic wolf tribe could no longer restrain himself and lunged toward Feng Lingyue with outstretched claws. That claw reached directly for Feng Lingyue's chest.

"What?" The inability to open the door meant there was zero possibility of escape. Everyone floated mid-air, and some even leaked yellow liquid from their trousers as they moved around.

Just as people were anticipating the victory of either the Dan Ding Sect or the Artifact Refining Sect, another astonishing piece of news spread: a mysterious incident had occurred outside Dengxian City. One Core Formation cultivator and several Foundation Establishment cultivators from the city had gone to investigate, only to vanish without a trace.

The blue-robed man smiled faintly, gesturing toward a massive treasure chest beside the arena to encourage the artifact refiners on stage.

"Master..." Shouts of alarm erupted from the Heavenly Soldiers who had been closely monitoring the situation. Disregarding the standoff with Basali and the others, the ten Heavenly Soldiers whirled around and charged directly toward Kasev.

Moonwater grass grew in marshy lakeside environments and favored shady spots. Most importantly, its habitat had to be a place frequently visited by demonic beasts coming to worship the moon and practice cultivation, inhaling and exhaling the vital energy of moonlight. The moonwater grass relied on absorbing this breath emitted by the beasts in order to grow. Its growth cycle was extremely slow, taking two hundred years to mature, making it one of the longest-growing rare herbs required for Foundation Establishment pills.

"Alright, I'll take a gamble. The alien base is right in my backyard, and there is a door on the rock wall there. Behind that door is the passage to the base," Alec said in a somewhat faint voice.

Since matters had reached a settled conclusion and all illusions were false, people ultimately had to face reality.

Though the masked figure before her appeared to be her savior, his masked appearance genuinely resembled that of a wretched, wicked uncle. Fear was only natural.

That was a bright yellow silk gauze robe embroidered with phoenixes, worn over a scattered flower skirt of turquoise mist-纱. Every single stitch displayed supreme honor and luxury; this was one of the dowries personally prepared for me by my mother.
