“I’ve always known you’re amazing, Brother Ye Feng,” Chen Xinyi said bashfully. “Just now, who was it that said they’d give me a kiss, then ran away without doing it? Now you’ve played the hero again—are you going to back out this time too?” Ye Feng replied softly, though it was more in jest than anything else. Suddenly, he felt a warm sensation on his cheek—Chen Xinyi had actually planted a kiss on him, perhaps emboldened by the alcohol…

Yu Fuyao drew in a sharp breath, her chest heaving violently for a long moment before she realized that the Dog Emperor’s talk of bestowing a marriage wasn’t just a joke.

“Haha, here comes the main target! Brothers, kill him!” cackled the black-clad man at the fifth tier of Body Tempering.

But Ye Shengge didn’t like her childhood betrothal. She said he couldn’t cook and wasn’t her type—she wanted to find a man who could cook to be her husband someday.

Over on the Qiongyao side, another invitation was sent out, but once again Wu Qilong declined. His reason: he didn’t want to shave his head, worrying it might affect his future prospects.

“Huh?” It wasn’t surprising for Elia to make such a noise, but for Yu Qing to exclaim so loudly was most unusual! In an instant, all eyes turned to him.

Su Qingmang was a little curious. Most people preferred confiding in strangers online, so it was rare to see someone ask for an in-person meeting right from the very first conversation.

Meanwhile, Shunuan kept her head down, minding her own business and avoiding trouble. But after about two hours, someone entered the embroidery room, asking for a slave by name.

Things were unfolding just as she suspected: Cheng Baojian was shaping her in the image of his deceased former wife.

Gu Bei wore a look of helplessness as well. Glancing at the number displayed on his phone, he stepped outside before answering.

“There’s nothing else for it,” Chu Chenxi admitted. She truly didn’t want further delays, but with the weather as it was, she had no choice but to wait for now.

Clearly, these monsters believed that while their ancestors had failed, they themselves might yet succeed—there were no shortage of such conceited creatures.

If a person consumed this fruit, their brain cells would leap forward, mental strength would soar, and it would be of immense benefit to cultivation.

President Jiang took a deep breath. Things had come to this, yet she still chose Madam Lü for two reasons: first, earning money was important, but only if the medical examination center could continue running smoothly.

Originally, Qian Xunji, because of his own limitations, couldn’t guarantee he’d obtain the power of the Demon God with absolute certainty.

“Anything else you want to say?” Chen Xinghe’s eyes turned cold as he shot a killing glare, his face darkening, a dangerous chill emanating from him.

But to murder the heads of several sects in broad daylight—surely some explanation was required?

Chen Xinghe felt awkward, never expecting such a thing to happen. He hurriedly grabbed some napkins, fumbling as he crouched down to help her clean up.

Someone who was at their wits’ end with a certain mischievous fox discreetly glanced at the old fisherman smoking at the stern, dryly muttering under his breath.

I can’t go to jail! Liu Yanqin quickly turned to Qin Zicai, hoping he would help her out.

Touched by a man other than her husband, Zhu Yani was startled and quickly stepped back.

After breakfast, everyone continued climbing the Great Wall. By dusk, they finally reached the end: a stretch of beach.

The excavation of Yinxu confirmed the existence of the Shang Dynasty in China. During the Shang, the slave-owning aristocracy was the ruling class, establishing a vast bureaucratic apparatus and army.

Fortunately, the spoils after slaying the demon were staggering, allowing Gu Sheng to make further strides on his path of cultivation.

A single cat’s cry instantly shattered the surrounding grasses, stones, and trees into dust and smoke. The force of that sound aimed to obliterate Sumu as well, but Sumu was a formidable being, powerful enough to contend with a high-level third-tier.
