Chapter 56

Those toxic creatures held a fatal attraction for Huang Quan. Therefore, she had chosen a very remote palace within the imperial compound to use as her research laboratory, never allowing Xie Li to approach it.

Having stripped away layer after layer of the cocoon shell, Jiang Chuan discovered nothing else. He then turned back to the ground, casting his gaze toward the gloomy, yin-qi-emitting black water lake.

Zhao Mengyao suddenly recalled that Li Yinglong’s conglomerate seemed to have recently acquired an entertainment company, intending to make a foray into the entertainment industry.

Han Xue’s voice grew increasingly excited. I could sense that she had struggled for a long time before deciding to share this with me.

As long as the Exalted Sovereign still sheltered the cultivation world, and with him around, the demon and beast clans would not dare to invade; they would simply... turn a blind eye.

"Let's go. Let's get out of here first." Bai Jingyu regained the calm and arrogance he had displayed upon their first meeting; the vulnerability and hysteria from moments before had completely vanished. Though he still looked somewhat disheveled, he remained a well-bred young master of a wealthy family.

Suhantai stared at his eldest uncle for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Keep quiet. The squad is moving northward. Follow me, and search the northwest side of the building." Suhantai spoke in a low voice. The commando uncle nodded, and the two of them, one right after the other, hugged the base of the wall as they traversed the corridors, moving upstairs and downstairs to scour every corner for suspicious signs.

It seemed that the Heavenly Mountains Li Xinxin had previously visited might hold many secrets regarding ancient artifacts, but since she was unwilling to speak of it, he could not force her.

After offering a polite disclaimer, Gu Chaopping began to recall the plot of this public service video, word by word appearing in the dialogue box.

"Not bad, they are having a lot of fun." Especially those young researchers—they were having the greatest time, considering how immense their pressure had been lately.

He had not expected the chorus to jump up by two whole octaves, instantly piercing straight to his soul and raising goosebumps all over his body.

Upon returning, she deleted all her live broadcast replays. After all, she had made the remark about "dancing on graves" quite a few times; if Gu Shanghuai were to hear about it, she figured she would meet a miserable end.

As soon as he sat down, before Ran Fang could even ask, he stated the purpose of his personal visit.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was somewhat astonished. They had all assumed that Ying Zheng had summoned them here to deal with Hu Hai.

Previously, what troubled the Xia family the most was how to deal with that batch of youth seedlings of the exotic miasma wood. Selling them—no one wanted them; throwing them away—seemed terribly wasteful.

Ben Junli, who had originally been full of passion, felt nothing particular upon hearing this news, thinking it was merely a matter of waiting at the door for a little while.

Cao Yangyun was also astonished by this phenomenon and excitedly shared the good news with Ran Fang.

"I attended two of your lectures in my youth, so how can I not be considered your student?" Gu Shanghuai maintained his polite demeanor.

A glimmer of light flickered in Ben Junli’s eyes. He immediately straightened his posture, awaiting Ran Fang’s subsequent words.

This conversation lasted straight until ten o'clock at night. Lin Feng needed to return to his own dormitory to sleep, yet Old Master Yuan still wore an expression of unfulfilled eagerness.

"The Thunder Divine Physique is nothing much. Since I have come to battle you today, I will not let you leave alive, nor allow you to remain unpunished. I shall use the blood of your clan to sacrifice to the ancestors of my lineage," the Battle Sovereign shouted sternly, his voice deep yet carrying a formidable majesty, overbearing and fierce.

Aside from feeling a bit nervous at the beginning, he had handled everything smoothly afterward. Besides, even if he truly encountered something beyond his comprehension, he could always consult Li Shizhen or... his "advisor," Chen Fei.

If one day someone like Nan Batian grew too powerful, just how great of a threat would that pose to the Murong family?

Leading Gongsun Qin, he walked over and seated himself right in the center of the bar, then looked toward the bartender inside.

Sun Shining remained silent, lowering her eyelids as teardrops fell continuously like a broken thread—half of it genuine sorrow, and half pretense.

"For the Spirit Food Association to deliver this particular ingredient to a member, their status must certainly be extraordinary." Speaking of this, Jin Tang’s gaze pierced through numerous walls, fixing upon the direction of the top-tier restaurant.

However, Susha Suman was unaware that because her face was the human world's visage, it bore at most a single fraction of similarity to Susha Qingxue's appearance.

As for Chen Fei's method, it was far more insidious; while neither of the two proposals was rejected, Tubo would likewise gain no substantial benefits.

"With Lord Shen welcoming guests in this manner, wouldn't it utterly disappoint people throughout the realm? Doing so is probably quite unwise." That person clearly refused to give up and continued nagging endlessly.

Pirates and bandits who spent their lives living on the edge of a blade certainly did not have refined table manners, yet somehow, their food always looked exceptionally appetizing.

Fortunately, his beloved Yiyi had calmed down, and the fetus was no longer kicking as violently as just moments before.

If he remembered correctly, a message transmission failure under the system deity's coverage could only occur when the recipient was in some extremely extreme state.

"Thank you for your hard work." Murong Yuxiao watched the increasingly dense cracks spreading across the black body of the toxic avatar, her thin lips moving slightly. At the same time, she raised her delicate hand, releasing a suction force that once again transformed the toxic avatar back into wisps of spiritual energy.

Jiu Hua actually wanted to say that he didn't need it, but the thought that Luo Yunxi certainly wouldn't want him to suffer any mishaps made him decide not to worry her.

Yet, upon lowering his gaze to look at the hand gripping his arm, he managed to suppress his rising anger.

It seemed she needed to exercise more in the future. If she built up her fitness through regular workouts, she wouldn't feel quite so exhausted right now.

"What did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly." The God of the Underworld declared, staring blankly up at the sky as he resorted to playing dumb.

"Wait for me!" Recovering from his daze, he also sheathed his saber, chased after Xiao Yunshu's retreating figure, and sprinted all the way downward.

The other party let out a cold snort, clearly disbelieving and disdaining to waste any more words with me, before vanishing back into the black spiritual energy and disappearing from sight.
