Chapter 29

When Cao Fang saw the happy photographs Wang Xi had uploaded, he truly regretted it. A perfectly good life had been reduced to what it was now. To make matters worse, Wang Xi often called Cao Fang’s mother with the “kind” intention of asking after her, only to hang up amid Li Juan’s furious tirade.

“Aunt Cheng, I brought you some tea—jasmine tea. It smells wonderful.” Fang Jiren untied the bundle from his back, placed it on the low table, opened it, and took out a packet of tea, which he handed to Aunt Cheng.

Fang Li calmly pointed toward a rice tray filled with dark wood, indicating that it was the one. Suspended above the tray by a thin cord was an antique-looking divination frame, swaying ever so slightly.

He Li replied while glaring fiercely at Zhao Shuangying, whose face was veiled with a thin gauze. Any one of the great demons beside her possessed a cultivation level higher than his own. Yet when he remembered the two brothers who had died beneath the Nine-Fingered Wolf Demon’s blade, He Li’s eyes reddened, and he steeled himself to risk everything.

At the foot of Mount Lu stood a dilapidated thatched hut, with a courtyard enclosed by branches. Tree trunks were piled up like a mountain within it, while square plots of land grew vegetables. In one corner stood a stove for cooking and an old wooden table weathered by the wind.

Ah, thinking back, they had been so innocent in those days. So many times he had wanted to say the words he was too embarrassed to voice, only to have Yuanyuan stop him, sparing him from speaking. On the night of their graduation, they swallowed their tears and promised to meet the next day, when they would be joined in marriage.

“What’s wrong? What happened?” Fu Yan was somewhat astonished. In his memory, apart from that one time Meng Lu had possessed Zhu Hao and helped teach him a lesson until he yielded, he had never seen Zhu Hao display such a “weak” side.

Lin Ying stood quietly atop the elevated platform, watching the figures below depart one after another. Some were young, some old, and they trickled away sparsely. After a quarter of an hour, only around twenty-five hundred people remained in the square. Every one of them had a resolute look in their eyes, and Lin Ying smiled in relief.

“But I still want to know—what exactly is inside the barrier?” Yin Ling could never stop thinking about the unicorn. As she gazed at the scene before her, where nothing unusual could be seen at all, her curiosity only grew stronger.

Whether bitter or sweet, a thousand sails pass by; whether sorrow or joy, how long can either last? It was just like the weather: one moment the sky was clear, the next it was drizzling; one moment the heavens stretched endlessly blue, the next the wind swept in and clouds gathered.

Huo Feng ignored her. However one put it, there were truly very few people capable of angering him. If he did not properly teach Yan Ruyu a lesson today, she would become utterly lawless.

In the cave, a figure emerged from a pitch-black corner that the two of them had not noticed before. Dressed entirely in black, the person appeared extremely thin and frail.

Turning his head, he saw Xu Muchen, whose entire bearing was slender and coolly aloof, and could not help feeling that loneliness surrounded him.

She had met all kinds of boys who had tried to attract her attention, but she had not taken a liking to a single one. Some were too childish, some lacked a sense of responsibility, and one fool had even thought he could win her over by throwing money at her.

The wall clock showed that it was seven in the morning. I did not wake him. Instead, I got up and washed.

Although Taixu had been stopped by Zhang Taibai after saying only half of what he meant, anyone with a functioning mind could understand his point.

At first, he had thought Immortal Doctor Wang’s conjecture was rather far-fetched. Yet after it was verified, the man’s judgment proved astonishingly accurate, causing Immortal Doctor Wang’s image in his eyes to grow considerably more impressive.

After a brief exchange, Simmons and Fitz immediately pointed out many of his shortcomings, including his lack of sources of information when acting alone and his somewhat outdated equipment.

“Xia Donghai. You can just call him Fatty.” Zhang Taibai and the others had just come downstairs when Dong Xueqing pointed to an unfamiliar, middle-aged, heavyset man and introduced him.

“All right, go get some rest today. Tomorrow, call Crazy Stone over, and we’ll run a dungeon.” Lin Feng said this as he hurried to log off. As for the reason, everyone understood it perfectly well.

Ding Si’s brows knitted slightly, and the flesh on his face twitched involuntarily. He forced an unnatural smile to cover it up. Zheng Yi asked, “What’s wrong?” Not only did he fail to move the hand resting on Ding Si’s shoulder, he secretly increased the pressure. This time, Ding Si could no longer endure it and let out a muffled groan.

The Moonwatch Great Emperor’s breakthrough greatly increased Jiang Yun’s side’s strength. They now had two beings in the Heaven-Transcending Realm. Even so, Jiang Yun still had no intention of returning to the Heavens, because the others were still cultivating with all their might.

“Bastard.” Cursing, Stone stepped on his poisoned hands, then forcibly tore them off. Only then was the spread of the deadly poison halted.

“Master~~” Mo Chen thought of Zeus. All of Mo Chen’s abilities had been taught to him by Zeus, so addressing him this way was entirely fitting.

Yet its shrill, miserable cries merely made people want to laugh; they did nothing whatsoever to raise morale.

As his legs rose, they did not remain rigid and motionless. Instead, he adjusted their direction in midair to avoid the trajectories of the water droplets.

In a short while, a large mass of slime had accumulated across his upper body. From his pectorals to his abdominal muscles, including both arms, broad areas of skin were covered in it.

At these words, all the believers were deeply moved, and the eyes of many flickered with a complex mixture of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Yet Tang Ming’s command had left Eaglebeak Camp completely unscathed. They had even slaughtered everyone in the opposing camp.

“If you refuse to believe me, there is nothing this old man can do.” The black-robed elder’s eyes flickered with a gloomy, sinister light. Facing three men whose cultivation was no weaker than his own, as well as Chen Fan, whose cultivation was unfathomably profound, the black-robed elder did not possess even the slightest confidence in escaping.

In fact, the branch of the Lan family of Purple Cloud Star located in Guishuang City was situated behind this utterly inconspicuous general store.

Xian’er and Yu’er immediately noticed the two figures flying toward them, and cries of delight escaped their lips. Yet when they heard the voices that followed, an indescribable shock filled their hearts.
