Chapter 30

After a brief moment of daze, Mu Haoxuan raised his hand and flicked Im Yoona on the forehead, though he did not use much force; he felt inexplicably flustered under her gaze.

Just then, a rumbling sound approached rapidly from the distance. Listening closely, it was the sound of horses galloping, and there must have been at least thirty or forty riders.

"If the young master doesn't agree, we won't go." Regarding this matter, the Nie brothers had argued with them. They came to see Jing Diyi not only to share their thoughts but also to seek her guidance, as they felt that the path she pointed out was surely the right one.

Regardless, Hong Tao no longer felt like a stranger to everyone when he stepped out. No matter what his neighbors truly thought, they would greet him with smiles, and if he had any trouble, he could call up his old drinking buddies; there was always someone who could help with minor issues.

Seeing that their meeting was drawing to a close, Hong Tao needed to secure some benefits for himself. Since Qi Rui’s parents already knew about his situation, keeping it a secret was futile. Transitioning from a passive position to an active one was what he needed to consider most.

"But you can't bite my ears anymore. Let’s choose a different spot, like my thumb—you can see it when we shake hands, how about that?" Hong Tao said with great gravity, and Jiang Zhuyi beamed with delight.

Seeing Mu Haoxuan fall silent, Jin Yucheng assumed his words had taken effect and, striking while the iron was hot, turned to Park Tae-young.

It was better now. The New Changchun Garden Hotel had introduced guest rooms, both doubles and singles. The prices were higher than renting an apartment but much cheaper than staying in a traditional hotel, and they offered many thoughtful services.

His gaze shifted to the blood-absorbing stone pillar, which had long since returned to normal. Han Beihang had previously mentioned that this pillar might have originated from the primordial era.

Inside the temple, in the abbot’s meditation room, an old monk sat with his eyes closed, silently chanting sutras. The scent of incense from the Buddha niche drifted through the air, permeating the space, while the old monk’s wrinkled hands rhythmically turned his prayer beads.

Yang Fan repeated the four words over and over, increasingly feeling that Tian Burang was right. This was a duel of resolve and a promise.

Returning to the Wulin Courtyard, Su Lin had already set out wine and dishes, waiting for Gongyi Qing to return. Suddenly, she felt that the feeling of being accompanied was wonderful. You clearly miss someone, yet when you see them, you cannot find a single word to say. Just like now, she walked toward him with a smile.

Sun Yan was full of indignation, while Su Ling giggled with delight, and Dao Feng stood rooted to the spot, his brows furrowed in deep thought.

Hearing them mention A-Yin Tuoluo, Yun Tianyang felt a jolt of alarm. He quickly held his breath and focused his attention, listening intently once more.

Chen Ling smiled bitterly. What did it mean for Murong Yan'er to let go? She had always been planning to dump the hot potato of Xinruifeng onto him.

The holy lotus flower was about half a meter tall and looked no different from an ordinary lotus on the surface. However, the most important part lay in the seven seeds within... These seeds were known as "Life-Death Lotuses." Typically, heavenly treasures require refinement to dissolve their terrifying medicinal power before they can be consumed.

If Bai Lei did not believe them, then everything Su Lun had done would be in vain. If he ordered a halt now, it would only make Bai Lei and the others suspect that Su Lun was deliberately luring them away from the passage.

In any respect, Ron had no reason or necessity to provoke or oppose Gu Fan.

When experts fight, a match between equals can be decided in a split second, let alone the current situation.

Shen Yugui did not intend to invite Fei Nancheng because she feared that if she did, and he didn't show up, she would be unhappy again.

Yu Shan walked in front with Xu Yi following behind. As they neared the living quarters, both of them slowed their pace.

When reaching the doorway, whether it was Shen Yueji’s imagination or not, he paused deliberately. By the time she looked up again, the man had already walked away.

Hearing this, Liang Xuan’s face flushed red for no apparent reason. Why did this sound like a date between lovers?

If they really modified the contract for Zhou Yuyao according to Wen Yu’s suggestion, several things would undergo critical changes.

Chen Fan, who was practicing body-tempering techniques, stopped his movements and, without hesitation, stepped forward to pick up a piece and stuff it into his mouth.

Her mood was extremely complex. She had already convinced herself to give Yun Zheng one last chance; if he failed to seize it, she would never forgive him again.

Accompanied by a seductive voice, a voluptuous woman dressed in rather revealing black clothing, with an incredibly enchanting appearance, appeared in their line of sight.

Bai Qianyu was taken aback by Ning Wuyu’s eloquent sophistry. Old Lu had already seized the opportunity to offer a toast, insisting they drink it all in one go. He tilted his head back and drained the large bowl of wine without leaving a drop, then looked at Wei Xiao.

Ling Jingbo listened, then looked at the phone in his hand. It belonged to Chu Tian. Why had he forgotten to ask just now why Chu Tian had blocked him?

Seeing that the three were about to be buried under the sword aura, the Sword Slave performed a backflip, transforming into a shield to block the path before them.

Upon hearing the phrase "admire her courage," a helpless smile appeared on Kashya's face, but she remained silent.

The Nine-Tailed Fox scanned the situation near the Fierce Demon Spirit team once more. The champion army that had previously besieged Jiang Zehan and the other two was still nearby, and their combined strength was now twice what it had been before.
