When Wen Xuyu opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a spotless white ceiling. The air was filled with a pleasant yet unfamiliar scent.

She instinctively raised her hand, but a powerful force stopped her. “Don’t move yet.”

A warm, broad palm covered her hand. Wen Xuyu looked over in confusion, only to find an unfamiliar man sitting beside the bed.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his deep black gaze held emotions she could not understand: cautious tenderness, the joy of finding something lost, and disbelief.

Only then did Wen Xuyu realize that she was in an unfamiliar room. It did not look like a hospital ward, yet a needle was still inserted into her hand.

“Who are you, and where is this?...

Above the Crimson Sea, platinum-white points of light suddenly drifted down in a fine, rainlike shower.

Han Dong had earned his trust, but the matter Han Dong spoke of was something Venerable Blade-Marked could not believe. He waved his hands repeatedly in refusal.

Besides them, Zhang Wu, the Chief Steward, and the stewards and managers responsible for the various projects had all arrived as well, crowding the open ground in front of the greenhouse until it was packed.

When they parted, Jian He noticed a peachwood comb on the dressing table, with several curled strands of hair tangled among its teeth. Her heart stirred, and she quietly slipped away with one of them.

To put it more plainly, it was merely a place of refuge granted by Houtu to living beings and ghosts. That was its true nature.

“Not for now. My eyesight seems to be a little better than before.” Wen Ruoliu lay down on her side, tucked in Jian He’s quilt, and gently drew her into her arms.

The screen seemed to have cracked a little... but Wang Tao had no mind to care. The only thing left in his mind was Principal Zhang’s sigh: “You’re on your own.”

After hearing this, Li Gaoji felt that it made some sense. The displeasure on his face lessened somewhat, and the tense atmosphere in the great hall eased.

No wonder Paboshou cared so much about the people in the slums... Wasn’t this just like an entire village supporting a single college student, hoping he would return and lead everyone to prosperity? Lin Ai shook her head.

Li Tieshu rode back on horseback. At the entrance to the residence, he handed his warhorse to a household guard, then pushed open the door and strode inside.

In the end, impulse overcame reason. Gritting his teeth, Gu Chen summoned ten battle poems and charged at the unfortunate Vermilion Bird Demon Venerable.

The golden light flashed before Winston’s eyes, leaving him unable to see anything. He did not panic, but strained with both hands as he tried to lift the cover.

She had no communications device on her. Tied to a chair, she shouted several times, but no one answered.

It took only two minutes to clear out the rear entrance of the base. The commander immediately redeployed the people at the front to provide support, while contacting Coulson at the same time.

Lin Yan recognized the Third Prince. Wasn’t he the king’s son who had been flattering his father at the dinner table?

Although Bloodshadow had lost the Taiji Gourd, the mysterious blood within him was enough to contend with an early Tongtian-realm emperor.

After conducting experiments, Yueyang Tower was able to confirm that as long as an incarnation remained within a certain range of its true body, the effects of both the Dust Root and Kunwu could, through some unknown principle, be transmitted to wherever the incarnation was.

In the Dragon-Subduing Temple at Lacquerwater Village, where he had once been before, Yueyang Tower thought of that strange flesh-and-blood demonic painting he had obtained on the second floor of the Ancestral Master Hall.

Of course, some of the resources within were extremely rare even for cultivators at their level.

Hearing the other four men discussing matters with their heads lowered, their voices making no attempt to avoid him, Leng Feng drew his golden spear. He gripped it tightly, watched their backs, and revealed a trace of murderous intent.

Gong Shiqin rushed toward Yu Ziji’s courtyard. He had intended to help capture the thief, lest the man threaten anyone—his darling, for instance. Yet he had never expected to see Yu Ziji and Pan Wan’er sharing a bed.

Boom!

The moment the great formation activated, heaven and earth roared! It was as though the entire world were about to collapse.

At that instant, the mass of energy, which seemed to be moving toward him at an extremely slow speed, appeared to stop. In reality, it continued inching toward Pain at a speed nearly impossible to see with the naked eye.

Eric took a small sip of the wine in his glass, failing to notice anything unusual about Dongfang Yi. Upon hearing his words, he gently rubbed the left side of his face—the cheek Luo Yixuan had struck that day. Offend her? Did this count?

Assistant Chen looked at the sensible Ji Ting, admiration flashing through his eyes. He then pushed open the door and entered the conference room first.

“What is it?” Lan Youruo’s tone remained cool and distant. Her eyes were fixed on the tips of her toes, and she did not even look at Helian Nuo.

Before Luo Yixuan arrived, everyone present had been whispering among themselves. But they would never dare spread gossip about the company president outside the company. If they wanted to remain at Dragonrise Entertainment, they had to remember what should not be said and keep silent.

Sob... He had always been so obedient. Whenever Uncle told him to do something, he did it. But... but why had Uncle gone back on his word? Why wouldn’t he take him to find his mother?

The seven members of the Xuanyuan family and the nine members of the Church, sixteen people in all, divided themselves into eight groups. They stood within a ten-kilometer radius at the center of the desert, forming a circle that completely enclosed the entire area.

He had been killing people ever since he learned to walk. His only hobby was cultivating flowers and plants, something very few people knew. The person before them was clearly no ordinary man.

At the very center of the space within the mountain, there was a milky-white pool measuring two zhang on each side. A poolful of milky liquid churned within it.

“Miss Tao, the road will be dark tonight. I’ll have a few servants carry lanterns and escort you home.” After Murong Yanfeng finished speaking, Tao Lian’er was about to nod when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.

“He actually broke the seal on himself!?” Consort Zhen stared at Ye Xuan in utter disbelief.

Lin Yu pulled the long saber from between the bricks and waved it in front of the apothecaries’ faces. The old men trembled as though suffering from convulsions.

“There’s nothing we can do. This is a match between the Divine Realm team and the Bloodless team. They say that if Bloodless wins this match, they’ll advance to the semifinals...” said Student A.

Of course, if you chose to pledge allegiance to the raiders, your token of allegiance would be every other person aboard the same spaceship. As long as you killed everyone else on your ship and survived, you would qualify to join them. Otherwise, if you died, you died. They would not shed a single crocodile tear for you.

Yet no one had expected that this young man had actually advanced another level, and could even capture Zhang Qiu without making the slightest commotion!?

Ma Zhong and the two Embroidered Uniform Guards he had brought with him, Zhao Xinghe and Liu Han, continued to oversee logistical matters. More than forty laborers were under their command.

“Wow, so many military merits! This time, we must bring back several medals of real weight and bring honor to our ancestors. A senior sergeant’s rank is a certainty!”

The soldiers of the Five Elements Guard all had eyes shining with excitement, each of them in high spirits.
