Chapter 24

Ruan Meng rubbed her hair in irritation. Zhuge Liang raised his hand to pull hers away, but she slapped it aside mid-motion.

Chu Xiangsi sneered at him, then suddenly caught him off guard by snatching a shoe from a corpse and throwing it directly into Guyun's face.

"You're lying. You were drinking with Xinliang that night, too," Xiao Zhe said with a smile, narrowing his eyes.

Setting aside the fact that Lin Nuannuan had once done her family a great favor, even without that history, Lin Nuannuan had treated their family well enough over the years.

"He probably committed a crime after being discharged and fled here. This place is a melting pot; it’s no surprise to see anyone," said Ye Zusheng.

That fleeting departure felt as if it had happened just yesterday, or perhaps it was only a dream.

Seeing Lin Nuannuan approach, Granny Dou’s body stiffened, though a faint smile appeared on her face.

Ye Ziling was stunned for a moment. She certainly had feelings for Long Yuxuan; otherwise, why would she have stepped in to help?

"Hypnotize Lu Tangtang as well. No matter how brilliant a young person is, they always lack experience. If we can also bring Lu Tangtang under our control, we will truly have no more worries," Zheng Changdong said, weighing the pros and cons.

Watching Ji Yanmo’s upright back, Bai Wei found it hard to imagine that such an intimidating youth could act so timid at school without the slightest sense of incongruity, leaving no one to associate him with the Ji family.

"Then how did he kiss you?" The youth, burning with rage, lowered his head again. He wrapped one arm around her back and used the other to grip the back of her head, pinning her in place before pressing his lips firmly against hers.

As its bloodline power was plundered, the necrotic evil energy released by the Black Nether Demon Snake’s beast core continued to weaken, no longer able to hold back the fierce momentum of the demon spirits.

"Golden Spirit Hand!" In the moment of crisis, Jun Yixiao roared. With a tremor of his origin point, he poured his metal-attribute immortal energy into his right arm, meeting the attack with a fierce, golden palm print.

Unable to cultivate in such a noisy environment, a bored Jun Yixiao turned his gaze to the black jade bracelet on his wrist. He had been so busy that he had never properly studied the Five Elements Bracelet; now, he finally had a moment of respite.

She was doing it on purpose. She indeed knew every hidden secret, just as she had suspected, even if she had once suffered from amnesia. Chen Yuling’s heart surged with turbulent waves, and a cryptic, daunting smile slowly curled at the corners of her lips.

As time passed, strange fluctuations began to radiate from Jun Yixiao, while Fu Siyan beside him remained as she always was.

In any case, Fuxi truly felt incredibly bored. If there were something to entertain him, that would be quite nice, wouldn't it?

Still feeling a bit unsatisfied, Xia Yang didn't have the heart to say he was actually only sixty percent full. After eating, he chatted with them casually, and through subtle questioning, he learned it was 1982.

Judging by their age, they were both just over thirty, not quite fitting the description of "old," but since they called themselves that, he agreed to the term to bridge the distance.

"Lock!" Finally, the Cyan Silk Lock, capable of being both rigid and flexible, shattered the Flowing Rainbow Sword and transformed into a beam of green light, binding Bu Qingya tightly.

Bing Wuhen stared at Wu Hao with unprecedented gravity. Not daring to be careless, he flashed a light in his hand, revealing a snow-white sword.

It is a proven fact that as the brain is further developed, one does indeed become more powerful.

The crowd could only vaguely see a bright, crimson halo moving rapidly within the thick corpse mist, accompanied by the sharp whistling of golden light and the incessant clashing of metal and the roars of iron corpses.

While pacifying the impatient Zhuang, he continued his cultivation, day after day. In his spare time, he would drill Lin Dao, laughing heartily as he watched the man grit his teeth under the scorching sun.

Heh, well played, Jiang Zijun. After causing a scene with thunder and electricity in Kaifeng, you just ran off to enjoy yourself. Let’s see if I can’t find something to keep you busy.

High in the air, the four saw the two blood-flame spikes in the black-robed cultivator's hands. Their expressions were complex, but they gritted their teeth and charged forward regardless.

Bai Sen made up his mind: once he slaughtered that damnable Raging Minotaur, he would return and put Wang Ming and the others through hellish training to ensure they could become his assets.

Jiang De set down his chopsticks and looked downstairs, which was packed to the brim. On the stage, someone was singing an aria.

Xin'er’s behavior was also strange; the two of them had just acted as if they had consumed an aphrodisiac, unable to control the raging fire of desire in their hearts.

He had intended to use a Void Displacement Talisman to escape, but who could have guessed the Pixiu beast could tear through space and forcibly yank him out from the edge of his transit?

Tan Cheng cast a cold glance at her and snapped his fingers loudly. Chang Huan, who was driving, slammed on the accelerator, and the car shot forward like an arrow released from a string.

His hands were balled into fists, held behind his back with an innate air of authority. His status destined him to be extraordinary, unlike ordinary men.

If her master, or even the Sect Master of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, forced her to make a choice, she would be helpless.

This way, he would no longer have to sneak out to clean himself, constantly worrying about being discovered.

He expected to feel nervous, but in reality, he did not. He only felt his blood, once calm, slowly begin to surge and churn, as if his blood were boiling.

But she didn't tell him about the other things that happened that day. She couldn't bring herself to say it, and judging by his demeanor, he didn't remember—a realization that left her feeling both relieved and sorrowful.

Since returning to the cabin, Li had been unable to rest, finally deciding that he had to step in and help this village.

A massive bird of prey hovered in the sky, its iron wings spanning a hundred meters. Its entire body was covered in green scales that shimmered with light, looking both ferocious and soul-chilling.

The next day, Yan Yu opened her eyes to see the well-defined lines of Lu Yan’s jawline and his sexy Adam's apple below it. Having just woken, Lu Yan hadn't shaved yet, and the faint blue stubble on his chin radiated a potent masculine scent.
