Chapter 18
"To honor both sides participating in the decisive battle, three hundred thousand divine crystals shall be awarded to the victor," Divine Lord Gongsun proclaimed loudly to the gathered gods.
"I wish I could tear that subhuman wretch limb from limb!" Yunting said bitterly, struggling to hold back her tears.
"Student Qin Yuan, to be honest, the main reason I invited you here today is that I have a favor to ask," Yue Zhenxiong said, dropping the ambiguity once he saw Qin Yuan remained unresponsive.
What An Yu loved most about her father was this trait: he lived his life without greed or craving. What was his, was his; what wasn't, he never forced.
With a slight nod, he struck out with lightning speed, tapping a finger to Xu Mo's brow. Then, vanishing without a trace, Xiao Fan returned to the world of Battle Qi.
"Exactly! They are so weak, we might as well turn back toward the Imperial City and lop off the King's head!" A Valse knight beside Dick laughed along with him.
When Chen Wei drove to An Yu’s company, her colleagues were already filing out. His own company usually finished at 5:30, but since sales work was flexible, they could often leave by 5:00. Chen Wei sat in his car, waiting for An Yu to emerge.
"What is it?" Seeing the urgency on Thomas's face, Alan asked, his hand already resting on the hilt of his sword.
Her escapade on the surface had turned the three provinces of East, Jiang, and Zhe upside down, causing countless cultivators to lose face. It was not as if she hadn't intended to settle the score for her third brother.
In the Beizhan Continent, there was a Puppet Sect specializing in the refinement of golems. The puppet beasts salvaged from the remains of captured spirits were all sent to the Puppet Sect, which also provided these prizes. Unlike the wild puppet beasts, these prize puppets were completely obedient to their master’s commands.
Back on the Ancient Nine Provinces Continent, she had acquired the method of Primordial Spirit cultivation; at that time, very few people across the entire continent understood it.

That night, inside the inn, a groggy Linlang slowly opened her eyes. She tried to shift her body but tugged at her wounds, causing her to gasp in pain.
Li Lan felt so disgusted she nearly vomited, but since she had promised to leave and not upset the Consort, she forced herself to watch with difficulty.
It was a pity that this Uncle-Master had never been willing to take on disciples for all these years. Even the disciples of the Dao Sect, including Fairy Tanshui, were deeply afraid of him.
How was she supposed to report this now? The allocations for these places were fixed; there was no reason for there to be any surplus. Thus, she could only answer that she did not know.
Although the Nine-Turn Star Water was excellent, highly beneficial, and incredibly valuable, was it not a bit exaggerated to dedicate an advanced cultivation technique just to refine it? Moreover, it seemed that to ensure the disciples of the Medicine Hall achieved something in this field, the authority to cultivate the first eight turns had been granted to alchemists of different levels.
"These are for you sisters; please, take your seats." The concubine in charge didn't even have time to attend to Yun Fuxiao, turning instead to invite the other concubines to eat together.
How was it possible? The injury she had severed with her mental energy—how could it have healed, and the limb regrown?
Master Stone was truly formidable... This was attributed to the fact that all his methods were rooted in stability. Incorporating his temperament into his alchemy, while rare, was not entirely surprising.
At the same time, Bo Huangli admired her immensely. With just a few words, Zixi had downplayed the conflict with the gecko and Zhan Peng into a heroic act of ridding the people of a scourge. This not only saved her the trouble of explaining but also made the villagers cheer and boosted her own reputation as a princess.
Having said this, he turned coldly and left. The seductive women were pale with fright, rising one by one without daring to utter a word, watching the back of Wen Feiyu as he departed. Upon reaching the thatched hut in the backyard, he saw his sister.
"Whatever you like. You can try to make up for it however you wish, as long as you don't disappear again." Fang Weizhen then began to chat with Chu Ning about domestic matters.

This detestable scoundrel, how could he always be so blunt, testing her and stimulating her fragile nerves in such a public place without regard for the setting?
Her response was too calm and too direct, completely beyond Yun Xiu's expectations. For a moment, Yun Xiu didn't even know how to begin.
Her eyes stung, and the tears suppressed deep within, triggered by Kai Yang's overbearing yet doting care, spilled out uncontrollably, dropping silently onto his warm chest.
He then swung the wooden club with such force that it roared like the wind. How could anyone manage to get close? He looked exactly like a rampaging wild beast.
After morning exercises the next day, the group gathered around the table for breakfast. The television was airing a special report on the fire from the previous night.
Because of this, Yingchun discovered that Jia She was a man of "learning," though in the eyes of the world, such learning was not on the righteous path.
But beyond silently accepting and cooperating, she could offer nothing else. This was why she hadn't rushed to leave after mastering her divine technique. She wanted to use these three days to bring their time together to a perfect close. It was the only thing she could do.
Yuhan, it has been five years. I thought time could truly change everything, but today, five years later, not only has my longing for him as a family member not faded, the scene that played out before me five years ago has become even clearer.
With his thoughts racing, Xu Wen knew he could not give the disciples of the Profound Change Sect a moment to breathe. He pushed his magic power once more, just as he had when facing Tian Feihang, and his power reached its absolute limit in an instant.
