25 The Man-Eating House (Twenty-One)

"Very well then!" Seeing the girl's reaction, Tang Zhan knew he couldn't force the issue, so he offered a faint smile and walked away.

Was it possible that from the moment he first saw her, he had subconsciously categorized her as one of his own? Or perhaps his protective barrier had deemed her harmless and simply ignored her?

Hua Zhier watched in astonishment; she had never seen this dance before, yet why did it feel so familiar?

Once struck, the willow-leaf blade would melt instantly, flowing through the victim’s bloodstream to every part of their body.

When she spoke, her voice was soft yet tinged with a hint of stubbornness. Having transformed into Leng Qiqi, who shared a similar temperament, she momentarily left Shi Zhuoling dazed; he had heard of Leng Qiqi being like this.

I just can't wrap my head around one thing: if the elder brother is running a business, the younger brother shouldn't be coming over to stir up trouble, should he?

Qin Luo swallowed the bun in his mouth, took a sip of soy milk, and walked back to the bedroom. He picked up his charging phone and opened the browser to check the news.

Lin Qingyuan hadn't cared much about these things, but if the Emperor insisted on bestowing the title, there was no need to waste breath arguing over it, so when the Emperor asked, he simply nodded.

Everyone was complaining, feeling that Ruyizhai was bullying customers because of its reputation—that once they had established their brand, they began fobbing people off with inferior goods. Yet, they still truly missed the high-quality items the shop used to offer.

Now that Su Bingye had been found, all that remained was to strive to improve his cultivation and then go to the Domain of Life and Death to see his grandfather in person.

His most important task now was to discover a method to control the blood-red spirits. Once that was achieved, Ye Chen would no longer face any danger in this place.

If following his heart could earn him countless envious gazes and vast wealth, then surely, he wouldn't feel so conflicted.

The giant wolf’s body was already bristling with countless crossbow bolts, yet it continued its frantic assault. Sha Long secretly admired the beast’s tenacity.

"Are you telling the truth?" Mia was deeply skeptical. If Wu Yang was willing to leave this place, she wouldn't mind making him breakfast.

The Dragon-Human race was, naturally, the descendants of dragons and humans. However, he had heard legends about this race, claiming they were cursed and unable to coexist; in other words, the descendants of the Dragon-Human race were not supposed to survive. Yet, here stood a living, breathing Dragon-Human.

He had spent the entire day investigating the vampires and had completely forgotten to call Su Yue. Looking at the list of missed calls on his phone, Ye Chen could already imagine Su Yue’s explosive rage.

Realizing that this red coral was extraordinary, Lu Qing began to take it seriously. He extended a sliver of his mental energy to wrap around the coral, while simultaneously using the amplification of the Water Spirit Bead to spread his awareness like a veil, observing the surroundings.

Suddenly, wisps of white gas flew out from the hole; clearly, these were the spirits.

A dozen Taoist priests turned pale and spat out blood, having been sent flying by Ye Chen’s strike.

"A single sword possessing such power—the person hidden behind this blade is unimaginable," White Queen said, her eyes filled with worry.

"Don't worry, leave it to me," the Tiger said with a cold sneer, then moved to attack the young man.

"But..." She was a waitress; how could she work wearing such an elaborate gown?

Pulling back the curtains, the bright morning sun spilled into the room, and Lin Qianxue stretched comfortably.

Sun Li had no choice but to resort to buffoonery again to brush off Wu Dahua, telling him that he hadn't brought the equipment meant for beginners and would teach him when the next semester started.

He checked his room; there was nothing unusual. Once he locked the door, he had nothing to worry about.

Facing him, Wu Zhongxian couldn't help but feel a chill, a deep sense of dread and wariness growing within him.

Yulan was truly desperate. She grabbed Mao Ritian’s hand and thrust it into her bosom. The softness made Mao Ritian shudder, but it felt good, so he squeezed it for a moment and said, "Auntie, I'm not that kind of person, don't do this..." Despite his words, he didn't pull his hand away, continuing to squeeze and test the feel of it.

Mao Yan and Guo Lixiang stopped in their tracks and began to egg each other on, putting on a grand display as if they were actually doing something important.

"Truly aggressive," Chen Yuanye said with a shake of his head and a faint smile, quickly running toward the street and disappearing amidst the shouts of the Security Bureau staff.

Li Fu and the others were worried about Cat Eye, so they asked Chen Zhiqiang to find Li Lin, while they followed Cat Eye deep into the Tianji Mountains.

After all, this might be the first and only chance most people would ever have in their lives to come into contact with and study a Royal-grade technique.

More importantly, Xiao Lin possessed the incredibly miraculous and heaven-defying Moonlight Divine Water, which was a major reason for Liu Siyue’s confidence.

"It will be dangerous for you to go! Even if you don't go, I will still keep my promise and bring your mother back to you," Zhao Shenbao said flatly.

The Maoshan Sect did not forbid marriage and having children, but if one wished to do so, they could not inherit the position of Sect Master.

"Hey, this is only a part of it. I haven't had a moment of rest all day," I recalled what the auntie had said at the time. In fact, it was true; I had seen their familiar faces all over the school many times.
