Volume 1, Chapter 126: Anything Is Fine...

She knew Lu Jingyan prioritized profit above all else, but she had not expected him to be this repulsive. For the sake of gain, he could abandon Xu Qian without a moment's hesitation—the very woman he had been flaunting his affection for just moments before—and utter such sickening lies to his former fiancée, whom he had long since grown tired of. Just how blind had she been in the past to have fallen for a man so utterly devoid of principles and so profoundly hypocritical?

In truth, there was no resentment or evil karma within the stone; if cultivated properly, one might even walk the path of the righteous through the way of the ghost.

Although the only means of illumination were lanterns, torches, and candles, the entire county of the Di tribe was bathed in a brilliant, luminous glow—a truly magnificent sight.

The person who landed before the group was none other than Instructor Liu Qing, the direct superior of these ability users.

Mo Zengfeng did indeed carry the surname Feng, but he belonged to a branch family rather than the main line; he had returned to Wangdao Mountain solely to retrieve his branch's genealogy records.

"Before I descended the mountain, I received intelligence that a significant portion of the spoils that rightfully belonged to my Six Paths Palace had been seized by others through trickery and force. At the time, I suspected it might be the Yellow Dragon Sect."

Arrows struck armor, sending sparks flying; horses hit by the volleys let out piteous screams, and riders were repeatedly thrown into the dust, rolling and struggling to avoid being trampled by hooves.

However, since the incident did not occur on his own turf, Lu Zhen did not pay it much mind. Now that he thought about it, could Xuan Hai be practicing this very same technique?

Tian Mengmeng cast a deep glance at the two survivors, nodded, and followed Gu Feng as they departed.

Yet now, facing someone like Li Yuntian, who possessed mediocre cultivation but exceptional medical expertise, he had actually taken a few steps back before turning away—a gesture that, in this context, counted as a mark of great respect.

There were no wires or conduits, yet electricity could be transmitted from one room to another.

Because I could not find a thermometer, I did not know how high his fever had climbed; I could only hope that the cooling methods I had devised would be effective.

The essence of ten thousand poisons contained within the Ten-Thousand-Poison Fruit was more ferocious than the deadliest toxin, and the method of fighting poison with poison continuously reshaped He Xiao’s body, forcing out the impurities within.

Exiting from the large cavern of the giant lizard, He Xiao discovered that the eggs that had previously covered the ground were nowhere to be seen, nor was there a single giant monster insect in sight.

Her tone was relaxed, devoid of the panic or unease one would expect after a failed experiment, revealing a rare sense of composure and calm. Rong Zi was instead stunned by her tone; her gaze drifted subconsciously toward Rong Hai, but receiving no response from him, she had to steady herself on her own.

He could not understand it: they had both stayed up all night, so why was he so wilted and lethargic while the other man looked increasingly imposing and spirited? Was this some form of favoritism from the heavens?

"It’s still not working!" Lu Chen sighed, then, unable to support himself any longer, collapsed onto the floor, gasping for air.

Yan Ruoxian blinked at me; she likely did not understand what I was saying, and in truth, I did not know what I wanted to say either.

"No, enough! I’ve had enough!" Chen William was practically hysterical. What had he done to deserve such punishment?

"You’ve been waiting a long time? From the moment we finished our call to this point, I only spent ten minutes. Do you call that a long time?" Chen Runze withdrew his hand from her grasp without a change in expression, then spoke slowly.

The burly man was a former secret agent. While agents might only dabble in the field of espionage, they were masters of security; if he had not set his sights on you, you might be safe, but once he had, no fish could slip past his watchful eyes.

Fang Miaoling was truly terrified; she nervously shouted for help from the people in the café and, while rushing the victim to the hospital, took out her phone to call Bai Yan.

Many people did not believe Yi Ye’s statement, but a greater number suggested it might be true, and consequently, the publicity department was scolded until they were utterly disgraced.
