Volume One, Chapter 21: Ah Qing

A table set with over a dozen dishes, the majority of which were wild game. Bear paw, tiger meat, wild boar, roe deer...

Tiger Brother said, "A-Dong, these are things you can't always find to eat back home even if you have the money. Since you're new here, it's a rare opportunity. Eat your fill."

It was indeed a rare opportunity, so I didn't stand on ceremony and sat down to sample everything. I had expected such wild game to be exceptionally delicious, but upon tasting it, whether it was the chef's lack of skill or simply the subconscious tendency to romanticize food one hasn't tried, the actual experience was quite mediocre.

When I had nearly finished, Tiger Brother suddenly asked, "A-Dong, I heard from A-Long that you aren't very keen on helping the other factions resolve their..."

However, the problem now was that Yu Si claimed he had not stepped half a step away from Wei Ziye since they left; if Yu Si was telling the truth, then someone else must have taken Li Lingfeng away.

Yet, upon seeing the radiant smile on Bai Liuli's face, the urge to shake her hand off faded, and I let her lead me forward.

After a careful observation, Fu Yi discovered that the poisonous mist had actually come from the assailant he had just cleaved with a sword strike. He was struck with immense astonishment; he had never imagined such a terrifying phenomenon could exist in this world.

I reached out, collected Ao Kun's body into my pack, and decided to pay another visit to the Dragon Realm later to hand him over to Su Yan.

"What lies before us may be an extremely powerful formation—one that involves the laws of time and space. Even though we have only been inside for a dozen minutes, two hours have already passed in the outside world!" Zhang Tianyu speculated.

Qu Leili received the news and rushed back. As he walked into the room, Wei Chunsheng was in the middle of taking Qu Yunrui's pulse.

"Can you give me one? A piece of... clothing... that you've worn?" Bai Liuli, who had gathered the courage to say this aloud, found her voice growing softer and softer until it was barely audible at the end.

Zhang Yu looked toward his fellow students and noticed they lacked any expression of nervousness. Aside from Chu Ge, whom he found a bit difficult to read, only Qin Jue stood there looking completely bewildered.

"What do you mean 'can't'?" Ji Ke was quite patient today, taking the time to answer her and the great sword.

System Prompt: The [Feilian Set] you are listing for sale is ranked first in the system's set rankings. A global announcement will be made. Do you wish to hide your name?

"The sentiment from back then, that's a given. But when you fought with the village outside the valley entrance over the mountain woods, our four villages sent out three hundred laborers, and over a dozen were injured. We helped you seize over ten thousand acres of forest, and we didn't say a word, right?" Old Cai said slowly.

Theresia nodded slightly. It was true; there had been sun god worship since ancient times, and the names and images of the sun god were ever-changing, yet no solar power or divine arts existed. There were no stars related to a sun god in the Astral Realm, and as she surveyed the entire Divine Kingdom plane from the Orderly Divine Kingdom, she sensed no deities associated with the sun.

Ling Tian smiled slightly and said, "I was just wondering; you only brought a few hundred yuan down the mountain, and you spent it all on the bus ride—how have you been eating? I have some good things here, but we'll have to wait until we reach our destination to eat them." With that, Ling Tian employed his lightness skills and began the journey.

As for how to complete the task assigned by the Chairman, the two of them could only gamble on the final trading session.

At this moment, the warship was already packed with people—all players from the "Horn of Friendship." Having received orders days ago that today would be the day the Horn of Friendship joined forces with the two nations of Li and Gao for a naval drill, they had prepared early and were waiting for this day.

On the world's most famous online Q&A community, the hottest question currently was "How to register for China's World Song Contest."

Ma Bufan was also very curious about what exactly Su Luo was hiding and where her confidence came from, so he paid extra attention once the movie began to play.

Although this period wouldn't last long, Zhang Yang still needed to gather all his equipment before then.

Watching the expression on Ye Lirui's face, the cunning Empress Yongrong frowned slightly. "Is the Fairy of Hundred Flowers not beautiful enough?" she asked gently.

"President Mu, I'm back!" Xiang Pengfei's sudden return gave Mu Bai a start. He hadn't expected Xiang Pengfei to return to the company so late.

However, the two of them, long since accustomed to such things, were completely unaffected and left immediately after finishing their meal.

Before he could even figure out his surroundings, the deafening roars of wild monsters began to echo incessantly in Su Ye's ears.

Whether it was seeds, farming tools, or breeding chickens and rabbits, nothing would be delivered until the day after tomorrow, so there was no talk of production yet.

Changkong Xingyu pondered for a moment. Having learned the origins of the Seven-Colored Glazed Tree, he realized that the Seven-Treasure Wondrous Tree was actually a celestial treasure nurtured within the Five-Elements Mountain of the Myriad Worlds. Changkong Xingyu felt incredibly depressed; entering a treasure land only to return empty-handed made him sigh helplessly. Was he truly destined to reach the summit and leave this Five-Elements Mountain? He felt a lingering sense of resentment in his heart.

For the rest of the time, Sato stopped asking Big Fangtooth about anything else, instead questioning him from every angle about Su Ye.

Bidding farewell to the others, Xu Shu turned and strode onto the boat. As the sails caught the wind and headed toward Chai Sang, Xu Shu waved goodbye to everyone from the stern.

Deep within the Yin-Yang Dao Eye, the two Yin-Yang fish saw the death energy approaching. The Yin fish shivered slightly, and an irresistible force enveloped the death energy, dragging it instantly into itself. The Yin fish then returned to stillness, joining head-to-tail with the Yang fish in a Taiji formation, continuing to rotate slowly as if nothing had happened.

"Ten years. I thought it had been millions of years; turns out it was merely ten." The Big White Rabbit heaved a long sigh of relief.

Immediately, the guards reported the news up the chain of command. Upon receiving the intelligence, the authorities in Yunxiao City treated it with great importance. Yunxiao City served as a trading hub between humans and the beast race; although beast teams arrived daily, the number of teams was strictly controlled to under ten giant rhinoceroses.

In the void, the screen of night projected all the movie-like flashbacks into Lan Ruize's mind.

Just as the two were discussing, the fluorescent light surrounding Bai Yu dissipated, gradually revealing the figure that had been enclosed for so long.

He took off his glasses, wiped them with a cloth, and put them back on before saying slowly.

When she was at the Bai family home, she had once hoped for Si Feichen to appear and save her. When she was being bullied in the sect and nearly lost her life, she had hoped for her brothers to appear in time.

Facing the avatar of a divine will, Nolan dared not hold back, deploying her strongest skills immediately.
