Chapter 28 Cai'er: If you dare to harm them, I will kill you.

Lan Yanyu looked at Caier with heartache; this was the daughter she had carried for ten months, yet she had been an inadequate mother.

For the first time, Caier saw her mother standing up for her. Her eyes reddened and her fists tightened as she gazed at Sheng Lingxin with hope, praying that her father might feel a touch of pity for her just once and stop forcing her.

As an eight-year-old child, Caier still longed for the love and affection of her parents deep within her heart, but it was because they disappointed her time and again that she gradually...

Lin Jue’s jaw dropped in astonishment, and he was speechless for a long moment. If the other party had been suspicious due to a hastily concocted excuse or a slip in his actions, that would be one thing. But for the man to call out his name and identity so casually was simply unfathomable. Lin Jue could not comprehend how Wanyan Aguda had made such an accurate assessment.

Stench, fragrance, acidity, and pungency—all sorts of odors wafted through the air. One could only imagine that the "Smiling Tiger" truly tasted the myriad flavors of life in that moment, witnessing a kaleidoscope of colors and vibrant blooms.

At this moment, Luo Lin, who was looking around, spotted a massive opening in a rock wall along the direction from which the river originated. Its cross-section appeared to be nearly identical in diameter to the tunnel he was in.

Sun Fei nodded with satisfaction, untied the red ribbon on the parchment, scanned the instructions briefly, and then activated the contract according to the method described.

The sound of automatic rifle fire erupted. Only then did the mercenaries snap out of their daze. Without a second thought, they gripped their rifles and fired wildly into the surrounding jungle, sending wood splinters flying.

Nangong Shuang’er was Tou Ren’s cousin; she was a relative who could provide comfort, making it easier to speak with him.

Li Jingyi thought for a moment. "No! I must work hard." She then grabbed the dragon, climbed on top, and assumed the offensive for the first time. However, within moments, her true colors were revealed; she collapsed, soft as mud, left with nothing to do but concede defeat.

Luo Si and the others held fluorescent magic wands that emitted a bright glow—another product of great alchemy.

In the afternoon, the SWAT team received notice from headquarters that units from outside the mountains had also joined the search operation as requested. Furthermore, because there were no transportation or supply issues, the number of troops searching from outside toward the interior was greater than those within the mountains, and it was expected that the entire target area would be searched within three to four days.

By this time, Riona had already reached the two clones and slowly raised her left hand.

"Beautiful Master, I am touched that you still remember those words I spoke back then, but do you know? The person standing before you now is your unfilial disciple. Yet, Beautiful Master, the things you are doing now have chilled the heart of your only disciple. Do you know? Do you even know?"

"A divine artifact?! Ha! Isn't that just a kitchen knife? Stop trying to act so cool!" The fatty’s opponent clearly did not believe the item in his hand was a divine artifact. Of course, he was even less aware that what the fatty held was currently the number-one ranked divine artifact on the War Path Network.

Shen Bingrao inwardly scoffed. This guy was really good at spinning yarns; she wondered who it was yesterday at the Divine Physician Villa, eating until his mouth was dripping with grease.

Lan Yi and Chu Li had no choice but to hurry back to the Grand Princess's mansion. Looking at Nian Nujiao, Hailanzhu, and the old Daoist Yan Zhi, who were flying back and forth in the courtyard, locked in an inseparable struggle, Lan Yi could only offer a helpless, wry smile. These two seniors, with a combined age of over two hundred years, were acting just like children fighting over a piece of candy.

Because he had previously participated under the identity of Lei Peng, he had been forced to suppress his strength to the peak of the mid-level War Venerable stage. Now, free from the constraints of that persona, he could finally go all out.

Ling’er followed close behind, trailing the faint fragrance left by Lan Yu as she sped toward the dungeon.

"Don't bring me meals anymore." Mu Xiaoxiao did not want to dwell on it further; it seemed she would have to avoid Ren Yuan from now on.

The level of prosperity here was far beyond anything Bo City could compare to, and even the Great River City of the White Crocodile Basin paled in comparison. The variety of rare treasures and materials needed by cultivators was dazzling, with no shortage of items obtained from the main ridge of the Sword Cloud Mountains. As long as you had spirit stones, your needs could basically be met.
