An Cheng felt a bit embarrassed when she brought it up. She had been pestered by Cousin Wei all day and unable to break free, and it was only thanks to An Chun coming to her rescue that she was spared. However, this had inconvenienced Lady Shen, and it wasn’t until later, with the help of Lianzi, that she managed to get anything done.

Wei Ruyu could not perceive it, but Hong Yi had sensed the moment the dungeon door opened that Ye Junze had been studying how to break the formation and had even achieved some initial success.

Su Hang saw her brother sitting nearby and realized she had overslept, leaving everyone waiting for her.

The eight-winged archangel flapped its massive wings, creating a wind that felt profoundly sacred.

"Dragon King, you are already aware of what happened in the United States this time, aren't you?" Cong Yi said, seeing that there was no one else around.

For a weakling like Wei Ruyu, staying honestly in her room and not coming out was the greatest contribution she could make.

Just as I was reflecting on the past, a monster about two meters tall with a massive head was wandering around ten meters away from me.

"I once gave you a chance, but you did not cherish it. Now, there is only a dead end!" Ming Sen spoke, his voice ice-cold.

Dong Ze hesitated for a moment. Knowing the grief in Han Lang's heart, he said nothing more and turned to rush toward the He family residence. At this moment, his own heart was filled with murderous intent. He had never expected the Han clan to be wiped out, and he was deeply worried about how Han Yun would react if he found out.

At seventeen, the appearance of Li Chuan became her only emotional anchor; she loved him and relied on him.

Just as the inherited spirit object had finished explaining the most basic conditions to Qin Zhao and was about to leave, Qin Zhao immediately grasped the situation and, in the nick of time, hurriedly called out to stop it.

"This mission is truly excellent. We earn spirit stones while hunting and enjoying the scenery," Zhu Liunian chimed in.

Watching Ding Sitian's serious expression, Jiang Huairen had no choice but to nod. He then asked, "Do you know where to find the Manju-shaka?" After learning of the Manju-shaka's abilities, Jiang Huairen had not forgotten his search for it. Since she was named Manju-shaka, Jiang Huairen guessed she might know where it could be found.

The horizon was brightening, though the sun had yet to rise. Zhang Tian felt that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was no longer converging into his body; it seemed that he had finally reached a state of saturation. As if sentient, the formation immediately ceased its function of drawing in and channeling the world's spiritual energy into his body.

"It's that miserable?" The group looked at each other, seeing the skepticism in everyone's eyes, yet they remained taciturn.

For Qin Zhao, European countries—especially Great Britain—were places where he had no influence, and the information he possessed was very limited. If these people wanted to use his head, they might lure him in using the pretext of an arms trade.

"This is a magic academy. Yet you rely only on physical combat in a duel? As a student of the magic academy, you are far too unqualified," Hua Shao said coldly, his words dripping with sarcasm toward Zhang Tian.

Yesterday, Jiu'er had been severely injured, but she did not return to the Marquis of Dingbei's mansion. Apart from the Marquis's family, the only person she knew in the entire capital was Xuan Yuqi.

Jiuge expressionlessly tore the rope from her arm, threw it aside, slung the long rope over her shoulder, and stepped toward the cliff.

After speaking, he habitually raised his hand to fiddle with a chess piece, but this time, the movement was slower than ever before.

Even so, the momentum of the bandits scaling the walls was only slightly curbed. Moreover, the wooden "battering rams" they used were impervious to oil and fire, and the bandits inside kept burying their heads as they rammed the walls, causing the bricks on the outer face of the city wall to crack and fall away.

"Hmph! Brother Tian, if you are going into seclusion, then I shall go as well. I don't want to fall too far behind you," upon hearing Shen Tian announce his seclusion, Yan Ran immediately declared that she would go into seclusion too.

"What's wrong, Isabella?" Nian felt uneasy. Had she done something wrong? But she had indeed relied on this energy to greatly strengthen her physical power, and it was not through magic.

Lan Zihe and Tao Zhulu were both startled. They looked back at the horse bandits they had shot down and felt a sense of trepidation.

Shen Duo took out his phone while his other hand gripped mine tightly. The warmth from his palm felt inexplicably comforting, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of attachment. In truth, this wasn't the first time he had held my hand, but I felt as shy as the first time, my heart even racing.

Menqi was defeated in a direct collision with the masked man, flying backward several meters before landing heavily on the ground.

"Princess, have your memories returned?" Aike rubbed Nian's head with a worried expression.

Zhao Ji had just been about to let Xue Ming go back to rest well before going to see his son, but seeing Li Quande's reaction, he turned and looked at him in surprise.

"Ji Family City—this is the city where Shen Tian and Ji Shaoyun are currently staying. It is the base of the Ji family, but because the Ji family is very low-key in the Chaos Lands, the city remains only a second-rate city to this day."

For nearly two months, she had only served in the imperial chambers four times, and according to news brought back by Xia Yan, the days Lan Xin spent there were all during her safe period when conception was difficult. It seemed that Si Yue was aware of this and remained wary of Lan Xin's identity.

"Sister, you still haven't explained it clearly to me. You know I'm slow," as soon as they entered their room, Su Yun hurriedly pulled Ting Fen down to sit.

Li Ye reproachfully tapped the back of Tao Junlan's hand, then pulled her to sit at the table.

"Has Mommy ever lied to Jiajia? Mommy said she would bring Daddy back, and hasn't she brought him back now?" She wiped away the girl's tears, truly a heartbreaking sight.

"An Chen, how is it?" An Haotian placed a piece of fish into his bowl, suspecting that he wasn't eating well while away, wondering why he had become so thin.

Su Che moved his lips, wanting to say something, but was stopped by a warning glance from Bi Lian and sullenly shut his mouth.
