Volume 1, Chapter 26: Just Call Me Qingli, Xianxian

Qin Xianxian sat on the small boat, the corner of her mouth twitching. Shen Qingli was just as impossible; she was already planning to leave, yet he insisted on dragging her out for a boat ride again. Still, considering he had just offered her his cloak, she supposed she could endure it for a little while.

"Political infighting—an inevitable stage for any intelligent species, as I’m sure you’re all well aware," Yifeng said, scanning the representatives in the conference room. Everyone lowered their heads in unison.

"Yes, I will urge the cleaning staff to do a better job immediately." Jiang Zitong looked around the lobby and didn't think the hygiene was particularly poor, but she understood that her master held high standards.

Feeling the weight of the gaze upon her, Jian Han gritted her teeth and reached out to grab a piece of foie gras, stuffing it into her mouth.

Unlike the last time, it was no longer a heart-wrenching experience; instead, she felt a sense of complete ease and refreshment throughout her entire body.

Jian Han thought to herself that they had already slept together; they had been at it for the better part of last night, and even then, it was against her will, forced upon her by Jin Sicheng.

Zhou Zetian and the others scoffed, secretly thinking the creature was utterly shameless—what kind of player tries to solo a top-tier boss? Now that Luo Yunxi and Zhang Ruoxuan were here, with two divine artifacts in play, dealing with it should be straightforward.

"That's true," Jian Han replied with ease. "But look, Senior Brother, all the senior sisters are glaring at me with such malice. Could you really bear to see me become the target of everyone’s ire?"

The Fourth Master had actually stationed guards at the entrance of Chenxiang Courtyard, completely cutting off any contact between those inside and the outside world.

No one present noticed that the mirrors and every reflective surface in the villa had undergone subtle changes.

When Elder Lüshi arrived at the entrance leading from the inner disciples' mountain level to the summit, he saw a burly young man and a simple-looking young man kneeling before Lei Sheng.

Lu Xuan could not judge her faith. But from the moment she incited Stannis to burn the heretics, her sins were already beyond forgiveness.

I still remember the words spoken by that yellow weasel with the whitening fur back when I was about to leave.

"This is incredible! Two miracles!" Oggbaum opened the refrigerator, poured himself a glass of milk, and plugged his phone in to charge, planning to find Vought International to request some experimental materials once he turned it back on.

After two days of competition, the Chinese team of Go players—Fu Yu (5-dan), Kong Jie (9-dan), Gu Li (9-dan), and Chang Hao (9-dan)—all advanced to the main tournament with perfect records, as expected. Additionally, Shi Yue (5-dan) and Liu Xing (7-dan) advanced with one loss each.

Having lost so many descendants at once, the clan leader would naturally not let the matter rest, especially since the treasures in the mountains had yet to be secured.

Wang Qian, flying through the air, naturally knew this as well. Ignoring the pain, he shouted, "Wang Xinxi, catch me!"

Hearing Wukong say this, the demon kings were naturally overjoyed and gathered around him, cheering.

The old Taoist saw the cold, icy expression on Li Changhe’s face and felt a chill crawl up his spine for no reason; he swallowed hard.

Fortunately, she understood the big picture. If she had made it perfectly clear and still chose to give up and leave, she certainly wouldn't bother with her anymore.

Yue Shengyao used a tree branch to poke at the ground, which was covered in withered branches and fallen leaves, and moved forward step by step.

Mo Yanran frowned but said nothing more; she unclasped the bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Luo Cheng.

Since the three of them had been teleporting the entire way, it didn't take long for them to leave the territory of the Moro Empire. After appearing hundreds of thousands of miles away, they bypassed several other empires and flew in a straight line toward the world’s barrier.

"Rest assured, Elder Yang. We have already reported to the Heavenly God Palace. I expect that before long, the Palace will send a Venerable to assist us," Dugu Chan said.

Chen Qi’s magical power surged; his golden flames emitted a faint, eerie crimson glow. At that moment, a gray force began to circulate quietly within him, accompanied by wisps of lightning coiling around his body. The sound of thunder, triggered by his overflowing power, roared out in an instant!
