Chapter Sixty-Four

The crescent moon in the night sky had somehow been swallowed by thick clouds, leaving no trace behind.

Though he leaned aside, Zhou Tai remained as steadfast as a mountain, and the trajectory of his ghost-head saber did not alter in the slightest.

"I know this puts you in a difficult position; go back and discuss it among yourselves," Su Li smiled and waved her hand. The ten men exchanged glances before quietly retiring from the room.

Zhu Xuan did not even spare her a glance. Normally a man of many words, today he remained utterly silent as he strode straight in, took the central seat, and cast a cold look at Yumiao outside.

Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement, sharing the exact same thought. Yuanhua promptly pulled the vehicle to a halt while Tiezhu retrieved his tools. Hurrying down from the carriage, Tiezhu prepared to make the repairs, while the rest fixed their eyes intently on the vehicle, eager to see how he would handle the fix.

Lady Fuca had merely wanted to seize credit; she hardly cared to fight injustices on behalf of the Fourth Prince's estate. Lady Ulanara was no simple adversary either, and she smoothly brushed the matter aside without letting Yin and Su Li know, wishing to spare them any displeasure. Now, upon hearing the Old Master inquire about it, her irritation only flared higher.

Streams of brilliant white light emerged from my palms, and in their wake, the dilapidated houses ruined by my descent slowly restored themselves to their original condition. Alchemy proved exceedingly useful when it came to repairing things.

"So you are implying that you intend to sweep the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs?" a reporter pressed on, digging deeper.

The cook hurriedly handed over the menu. Consort De was a frugal woman: the customary four cold dishes, eight hot dishes, four large platters, four fresh fruits, four dried fruits, four pastries, and four varieties of congee were all halved by her orders. Today was no exception, but Su Li supplemented the standard provisions to make them complete and balanced them according to the seasonal characteristics of the dishes.

Fengzhongsha was left entirely bewildered by Long Tian's words, failing to see how a perfectly innocent nursery rhyme could possibly be associated with murder.

Zono'z lifted his hindquarters, and Thor crawled out from the deep crater as Richard's tentacles instantly coiled around her body.

She did not dare to open her eyes, terrified that the moment she did, she would find herself in another world.

Chen Bo likewise came to a halt, not because the man had stopped, but because on the doors of the mountain deity temple, there shockingly appeared a pair of bloody handprints.

Watching the fatal blade rushing head-on toward him, the Kalista player did not even have time to cry before his final drop of vitality was mercilessly reft away.

Only then did Fang Yu experience a sudden realization. Damn it all, wise for a lifetime only to be foolish for a moment, he had actually fallen into the hands of his own wife.

"It is nothing much, just a third-tier magic spell. My current mastery over magic has already reached the peak of the second tier, so I ought to try learning something of a higher grade."

This large, lion-shaped spirit beast was exceptionally quiet, emitting no overwhelming power that might trigger a cataclysm in the surrounding area.

Aside from his formidable prowess in magics, could Sean St. Christian possibly possess such terrifying attainments in martial arts as well?

Lin Chen's shout failed entirely to halt their violent actions, causing only a few onlookers to turn their heads back.

Tangyue had anticipated this move. Though her shoulders were pinned and she could not move freely, she could still drop into a squat.

Furthermore, in the will of Chi Tiancheng, the master of the Chi family, Yunshu was required to marry his only son and remain undivorced for two years in order to inherit the estate left to her, according to Chi Tiancheng's stipulations.

To think that after condensing his Golden Elixir, Li Su had managed to track down the offspring of what was suspected to be a fierce beast, the Cloud-Winged Tiger.

Because the Salt Transport Commissioner and the Prefect had been dismissed simultaneously, no one was left in Jiangling City to preside over affairs. The treacherous official ordered Lord Jiang to remain in Jiangling City and await the arrival of the newly appointed Prefect and Salt Transport Commissioner before he would be allowed to depart.

At times, upon encountering a particularly ferocious beast, the bounty would soar far beyond a few dozen crystal coins, demanding at least several hundred at the bare minimum.

Brother Xiao was the name he used for Xiao Youheng. Having known him for less than half a day, Xu Nian'an was already addressing him with the familiarity of a lifelong acquaintance.

Logically speaking, now that the lawyers had arrived, shouldn't the rest of the Chi family be present as well, waiting impatiently to watch her and Chi Yanzhou sign their names and officially set the date for the wedding banquet?

"No, this item is of vital importance. We must go back and retrieve it right now," Gu Wanzhao insisted on returning to the palace immediately.

Recovery abilities could be observed directly, but lifespan was far more difficult to gauge. Therefore, to understand the lifespan changes of these test subjects injected with 'Blue Spider Lily No. 1,' instruments were required to analyze their cellular telomeres and extrapolate the approximate lifespan range of the hosts.

Clearly, Rake's proficient earth-type magic—the spell capable of producing earthquake-like effects—was the reason the skeleton village had been reduced to its current state.

After muttering a few sighs of mixed emotion, Makino gave the matter no further thought and headed to the mining cave, where Steward Xu had already been waiting for a long time.

Outside the room, only a few people went about their chores listlessly. The tender trap of daytime lay dormant. Filtering out all other noises, the voices of Fuqu and Zhizhi drifted clearly to my ears.

I cast a curious glance toward Dodo, never imagining that his birth mother's forced burial sacrifice back then had also left such profound shadows upon his heart. He yearned for his elder brother to reclaim the throne, to avenge his mother, and to take back everything that rightfully belonged to him.

Following the direction of Wei Qi's finger, I too felt that something was amiss; indeed, the distance between those two stones was significantly shorter than when we had first arrived.

I fished out the torn business card from Shen Linfeng's ashtray and pieced it together. One digit of the phone number had been melted away by a cigarette butt, but the rest remained faintly legible.

"What formidable magical power! Such an instantaneous burst is something few within the Tenth Heaven could ever hope to achieve." The Dao-Intercepting Heavenly Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully weighing the gap between himself and Taiji.

Following my words, the man snapped out of his daze. With wide eyes, he roared angrily at me, raising his palm at the same time to strike out at me in his utter ignorance of the immensity of heaven and earth.
