Manifesting Northern Might and Displaying Prestige - Chapter 164: A Single Night

Li Qiutong gave a few awkward laughs. "Uh, running a bit makes you warm."

Lin Ai looked at Li Qiutong's silly smile, sighed speechlessly, and then smiled softly. "Brother Li, actually, I want to sit with you for a while. Just like last time, is that okay?"

"Of course it's okay. Would you like something to eat? I'll go get some."

"Um, by the way, Brother Li, would you keep me company and have a little wine?"

Li Qiutong was slightly startled. "Wine? Xiao Ai, you must be joking. If I drink, what kind of conversation can we have?"

Lin Ai thought for a moment, then said, "I can water it down for you a bit, how about that?"

Looking into Lin Ai's sincere, wide eyes, Li Qiutong half-believingly agreed.

A few small dishes were placed on the table...

"If you don't tell me the truth and keep me in the dark, that's when I'll really worry!" Lady Li curled the corners of her mouth, somewhat displeased.

"No, it's definitely not like that!" Xu Chen cried out inwardly, the cruel truth completely subverting his understanding.

Jinyun Du cast his gaze upon Jinyun Tongyun. Jinyun Tongyun's cheeks were slightly flushed, her breathing steady, and she had already reached the fourth tier of the Primordial Genesis Realm. Jinyun Du looked at Jinyun Tongyun in puzzlement, then turned back to look at Cang Jianli, his face full of confusion. After quietly withdrawing, Jinyun Du lowered his head in deep thought, unable to make head or tail of it.

"Don't shout randomly, or I'll slice your throat off with a single blade," Wu Ze said, placing his blade against Huangshan Po's neck.

Naturally, Li Shimin did not understand what a "temporary identity card" was, either. Yet, he was still deeply impressed by this fellow—he was truly remarkable! He had a sharp mind for business, not only gathering intelligence clearly, but also explaining the situation thoroughly in just a few words.

Zhang Ye reached the ground and still found no visible life. He came across some water, but as expected, there was no movement whatsoever. He reached the hot spring pool, which was a place resembling a thermal spring, yet he saw the water bubbling and boiling. Zhang Ye knew he had found it; this was the place.

In a hazy state, Chai Shao opened his eyes and woke up. A few bird chirps came from outside the house, crisp and bright. Turning to his side, he saw his wife sleeping soundly, her breathing steady, with a soft, delicate sound.

At this moment, Xian Lei's hair was disheveled, and his tattered garments, shredded into strips, were soaked through with golden blood, presenting an unpleasant, dirty yellowish-brown hue. It's time for meals, could it not be so disgusting? Yet the facts were just like this; am I to blame?

"I know. Now everyone split into groups of ten and fight independently on your own," Li Tai instructed.

"Mom!" Fortunately, given the disassembler's layer of fat, she didn't suffer any major injuries under such an attack.

Interstellar's gaze was tender yet tinged with a hint of urgency. He hoped Ling'er would be selected, yet he lacked confidence in Shangguan Ling'er. He could only pin all his hopes on that token belonging to Nangong Li, pinning them entirely on Nangong Li.

"The Nova team hasn't made any targeted bans or picks at all; it seems they are very confident in their own strength." Lin Jia had nothing else to say and could only comment thus.

Qi Qing'er still wore very little expression, merely raising the corners of her mouth slightly before nodding.

Ever since the day she shattered her core, she had been brought back to the Array Yi Peak by True Monarch Yuchen. Taihua had shown leniency, permitting her three days to recuperate on Array Yi Peak before departing.

Tang Ruoruan had only just advanced to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and logically speaking, she should have remained within the sect to consolidate her cultivation base. Could it be that the situation she reported yesterday went awry?

"Just what kind of poison is so powerful that even our Taihua detoxification pills cannot cure it?" Taihua's medicinal pills were second to none in the Shanhai Realm. Theoretically, curing an ordinary mortal's poison should have been effortless, yet this time it had failed.

"Senior Brother Qin, I was quite abrupt in asking you out today; your junior sister truly has a matter of great importance to impart." Li Yanran looked shy and timid, as if she harbored something unspeakable.

"Don't you worry, even begging for food is only temporary. Gold, silver, and treasures belong to you, and no one else can take them away. Once you find the key to open the golden ingot, you'll be able to use all these riches, won't you?" Xingkong patted Nangong Li's shoulder and said with a smile.

No matter how powerful the Lu family's influence was, they were still merely a clan. To the lofty imperial princes and grandchildren, eradicating the Lu family was truly no difficult matter at all.

Yet he never imagined that during his bodily transformation, he would secretly develop mutual affection with Piaoxing, and subsequently, when the Black Charm appeared at his wedding with Piaoxing, a multitude of subsequent events followed one after another. He had never had the leisure to attend to this matter, and by today, he had almost forgotten about it entirely.
