Volume 1, Chapter 132: There Is No Man Who Does Not Lust After Women

Yao Nan struggled, but those around her remained indifferent. Some even chuckled at the man’s inability to tame a woman, completely forgetting that Su Li was still present. It was clear that these people held no regard for women; in their eyes, they were merely tools for their own amusement.

The Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole commanded the Celestial Star Formation and tens of thousands of star deities, making him a figure of immense power in the Heavenly Court. By comparison, Haotian’s influence appeared insignificant, leading him to covet the Celestial Star Formation. However, since Emperor Ziwei was one of the three corpses of the primordial spirit of Huorong, Haotian knew he was no match for him alone and had no choice but to seek the aid of the two Sages of the West.

At this moment, Kong Xuan suddenly realized that he possessed the innate divine ability of the Five Elements and Five-Colored Divine Light. By studying the innate Yin-Yang and Five Elements day and night, he understood that while these forces formed a single Great Dao, they could also be divided into seven innate paths: Yin, Yang, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, all of which contained the essence of the universe.

After Knight Hogg fled, he sought refuge with Viscount Gas, hoping to use the Viscount’s power to reclaim his territory. However, he encountered Knight Leif, with whom he shared an irreconcilable enmity. Hogg fled again in a rage and defected to Snow White—which, truth be told, was all thanks to Yang Yi’s machinations.

Time and again, this left the soldiers of the Kong family in a state of nervous exhaustion, their morale plummeting and soaring until they were on the verge of a breakdown. The entire camp fell silent, and fear was etched onto every face; their spirits had truly been crushed.

Chen Jun was drenched in sweat, gripping a flaming blade, but he did not strike. He knew he could not harm his opponent, so he reasoned that he might as well use the weapon for something else.

"Forget it. I suppose I should go find Lan Ruo and explain the misunderstanding," Wang Shen said with a bitter smile. At that moment, he caught a flicker of amusement in Yan Yuemeng’s eyes. He felt a surge of irritation, realizing he had fallen into his trap.

Retracing their steps would be a waste of effort, so the group continued forward. The forest was deep, and strange roars echoed frequently, causing Dorothy some alarm. Yang Yi wanted to comfort her, but the Scarecrow and the Tin Man were already by her side, constantly reassuring her.

Lu Yang had no objections to starting early; the site had been leveled two days prior, and construction could begin immediately.

Furthermore, Gui Bao could cultivate during the journey, ensuring no time was wasted. This was beneficial for his progress, and he even managed to advance to the second level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

After a few moments, Qin Mo estimated that the twelve righteous cultivators had reached the central area and immediately activated the Spirit-Explosion Vessel hidden there.

Suddenly, Xu Qing’s expression changed as the truth dawned on her. It seemed her previous suspicions were correct after all.

He offered his shoulder for comfort. Aside from the breathing difficulties Tong Xinya experienced during the first few days, she had been feeling much better lately.

Only moments ago, she had boasted that they relied on their wits and that those who only knew how to fight were of the lowest order, yet she had just been dealt a swift slap to the face.

By noon, after Zhang Hua had tidied the dishes and teacups, he and Jeanne left the room to go on a date.

Yet, the image of that man—with his wicked smile, devilish charm, and peerless beauty—kept surfacing in her mind.

Above the ruins, there existed a multitude of invisible stairs. They had no physical form and were completely transparent, as if they did not exist at all.

Although the man’s fiery red cloak was half-burnt, it still fluttered in the cold wind like a flickering flame.

The world was truly wondrous; he never imagined he would encounter such a thing, let alone with his own junior sister.

"Whatever, let me just redeem a background story from the system first!" Zhang Hua scratched the back of his head, pulled out his phone, and opened the system. Without overthinking it, he saw that the background story shop was unlocked and opened it immediately.
