Volume 1, Chapter 32: She and Xu Xingyuan Are Incomparable

Ji Shu shuddered. She lowered her gaze, offering no response, and brushed past him to retrieve her pajamas from the cabinet before stepping into the bathroom. During this time, Lu Jinchuan’s phone rang; before closing the door, she heard him say, "Wait a moment." As she turned on the shower, she heard the bedroom door open and close again. Lu Jinchuan must have left.

After bathing and changing, Ji Shu stepped out and found Lu Jinchuan sitting on the sofa. He lifted his eyelids languidly, his gaze scanning her with scrutiny.

"Why are you still here?" Ji Shu asked.

Lu Jinchuan withdrew his attention from his phone, his tone slow and indolent. "Are you hiding someone?"

Ji Shu was rendered speechless by his remark and looked away, refusing to respond.

After Liu De revealed the truth about the God-Servant Blood Souls and the God-Hunter Envoys, Chen Liangtao’s expression turned grim. He was well aware of Liu De’s terrifying strength and methods; if Liu De could not handle these monsters, he knew he stood no chance.

He Shuqing stepped forward to offer a few words of caution, telling them to call her as soon as the old lady woke up, before taking her leave.

In any case, none of the three Great Demon Emperors would escape my grasp. If you think you can stir up the entire Immortal Realm with just the three of you, then I am truly sorry, but you simply lack the capacity.

Liu De remained vigilant, watching for the Lava Giants while searching for the seal point of the sinkhole. He spotted a few of the giants, but the seal point remained elusive.

Perhaps because she had been thinking too much, a dull ache throbbed in her head. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, until she finally climbed up to take some pills, after which the pain gradually subsided.

In Gu Nian’s memories, this was the first time the Princess Protector had ever had her blocked, and she was momentarily stunned.

The other students were not so lucky; even those who swore they had no money were stopped and searched.

Feng Yanxin was taken aback. "Huh? Grandma is still Grandma—ginger really does get spicier with age! You managed to infer so much from just one sentence! You're right—well, not entirely, but you're close enough."

Since Jiang Xuan already knew the main hall where the treasure was hidden was guarded, he did not call the guards away to maintain the ruse, thinking that as long as he led the way, no one would dare stop them.

As they approached the unstable space near the East Sea, the Twin Fish Jade Pendant in his hand began to emit pulses of orange-red light. A moment later, the scene before his eyes shifted, and a continent of unseen proportions stretched out before him.

Su Mei, at this moment, was filled with profound regret. She had never imagined that she would be the one to harm Long Xinglin. When Long Xinglin was attempting to break through to the Profound King Realm, she had emerged from the void of adversity to search for "Keen Hearing," and it was this very search that had doomed him.

I took out ten bottles of Spirit Gathering Pills and handed them to Zheng Qihuai. "Stay at White Circle and don't leave," I said. "Refine these ten bottles, and you should be able to reach the Venerable Realm. By then, the manor should be just about ready."

Twenty days later, Yun Jie and the other two had been scorched like cured meat. Their body fat was completely exhausted, revealing the shapes of their bones, and their skin was so charred that they wouldn't be visible in a pile of coal.

I studied them carefully. I had collected many God Crystals but didn't know how to use them, though that didn't stop me from knowing they were precious.

"Hmph!" Black Hawk sneered, unfolding the mechanical wings on his back as several grenades locked onto their targets. Hao Lan, however, remained calm, manifesting thousands of weapons from the lightning element behind him.

Returning to the Fire Department area, Long Xinglin felt an even worse headache when he saw the looks from the other students. He wouldn't be able to stay here much longer.

Under normal circumstances, given the cultivation of the Demon Domain Lord, Lei Wuhen, he could have crushed many of the top-tier cultivators of the cultivation world at the time. At the very least, he could have walked away easily. It was only later rumored that Han Mingkong had sacrificed a magical artifact called the "Nine-Petal Lotus Platform," and legend had it that this platform was refined from Hua Jieyu herself.

Like a mirage of flowers in a mirror or the moon in the water, after those wisps of white mist swirled past, everything changed.

Since Yi Xiaoya had already notified the hotel, a server met Lin Feng and his companions the moment they entered, leading them to Yi Xiaoya's room.

Seeing that Huo Feiran realized the gravity of the situation, a glimmer of joy appeared in the merchants' eyes.

Zixia, having circled the cave, felt that the mechanism at the entrance was being triggered too often, so she went out to investigate.

Everything was too unexpected and sudden. Such a thing had not happened in the Thousand Island Sea for thousands of years, catching all factions off guard and forcing them to send out urgent calls for help to the outside world.

One of the hidden meridians was located near the prefrontal lobe, the very part of the brain responsible for controlling human perception of the outside world.

At this remark, not only Manager Wang but the other three also flared with anger. They were all high-ranking individuals; they were always the ones taking other people's rooms, never the other way around.

The battle between the high-level superhumans and the high-level zombies in the sky was drawing to a close. Due to the unique physiology of the zombies, the human side suffered more injuries and casualties. However, neither side was faring well, and the campaign came to a temporary halt.

Leaving the hotel, Lin Feng took a taxi to Qianyun Tower, the headquarters of the Liu family business, where Liu Ruyin worked.

Watching Hu Dahai begin to confess, a look of triumph flashed in Li Defu’s eyes. In his view, no one could withstand the interrogations of the Black Stone.

Other forms of vitality were constantly flowing, like clouds or mist, always being consumed and transformed. But this "life-bound" aura was like a rock—firm, upright, and soaring—with very distinct characteristics.

Li Nan slapped his head with his palm, trying to stay alert. Just then, he caught a glimpse of the zombie in front of him and noticed a jade necklace around its neck. He recognized it—the zombie was Old Wang, the section chief of the Pharmacy Department, and Li Nan’s own mean-spirited superior.

At this moment, his expression was blank and his eyes dull, lacking the liveliness he had possessed before.

Since it was an invitation to be a guest at their home, he would go. Though they weren't close, they had just been baptized by "blood and fire," and were now as close as family.

Dong Yingxue was driving the police car back when her phone rang. It was her cousin—a truly remarkable girl, the only "living treasure" in their entire family, known as a peerless genius who "knows three hundred years into the past and three hundred years into the future."
