Chapter 39: A Visit

The living room was exceptionally quiet, filled only by the rhythmic ticking of the pendulum on the antique grandfather clock and the occasional chirp of a bird from outside the window.

Sunlight filtered through the tall stained-glass windows, casting patches of light onto the dark carpet. The air was permeated with a serene scent reminiscent of sandalwood and old books.

This was the signature atmosphere of the Shuangming Mansion—solemn, yet somewhat oppressive.

Long Yuan held Long Xiaobao, sitting on the overly spacious, cool-to-the-touch sofa in the living room. Apart from the divine, radiant glow emitted by the exotic beast seated nearby, the inner sect disciples now looked no different from ordinary mortals.

Everything was at the mercy of others; living a life of compromise at the whim of those in power—that had been her existence.

Within a few breaths, more disciples were buried under the hands of the skeletons. Yan Fei chanted mysterious, obscure incantations, his eyes snapping open as they shimmered with purple radiance.

Even though Zhang Shaogang was well-traveled and experienced, he had never encountered such shameless tactics as those employed by Dou Wei, leaving him utterly speechless.

Jiang Changan shifted slightly, turning his back to Xia Qi. With this movement, all gazes converged once more upon the man in rouge aboard the carriage.

The old Taoist’s shifting moods were impossible to fathom, and even his speech had become incoherent.

Dumbledore caught the parchment and held it at a distance, allowing him to discern the words by the flickering light of the flames.

That is no simple immortality; this object transforms into a demon over time. Henceforth, it shall be a great demon formed from a worldly puppet, and even ascension to immortality becomes a possibility.

This world is far too twisted, like a mad, old horse stumbling forward, constantly gasping its dying breaths.

Immediately thereafter, a sudden burst of light erupted from the ground in front of Dongfang Yunyang. A light formation with a radius of several meters appeared, accompanied by a blinding white radiance emerging from its center.

He had already stated his requirements, and tomorrow, Shopkeeper Liu would send someone to show him the property.

"Lan Fuzi has treated me exceptionally well. I never once considered taking her life. There is no need for me to kill a soul beast that has shown me genuine kindness, just for the sake of an assessment."

He walked out of the game room, sat down in the living room, and turned on the television, pondering his own affairs.

Seeing Han Nuo and the others return, the hundred-headed Xiangliu let out a roar like that of a dragon, spewing streams of dark green liquid at them. After the three of them dodged, Han Nuo employed his old trick once more, unleashing the Myriad Sword Technique, sending light-swords swirling layer upon layer around the Xiangliu.

After thoroughly discussing every point worth mentioning as per his routine, Liu Xincan finally turned off the camera, the smile on his face momentarily relaxing.

He then truly vanished for three months. When he returned, he indeed held seven Nirvana peach pits in his hand.

Yosuke Ideguchi, the core midfielder for the Japanese team, keenly observed the pass returned by Wataru Endo.

Seeing the three mecha clones descend upon her in an instant, she had no choice but to draw her crescent blade to defend herself.

Teacher Suda did not wish to see a decent child being ostracized, so he made such arrangements.

He did the math: the distance that would take Elder Xu two days and two nights to cover with his Thunder Cloud Evasion light would take an average Nascent Soul cultivator three days and three nights. The speed of the fighter jet on its return trip was only one-tenth that of the Nascent Soul cultivator’s evasion light.

I looked at him helplessly: "I can't help it. Since no one else would sign up, the teacher came to me. I suspect that if I perform poorly, the teacher will scold me. Doesn't she already dislike me?" I didn't hold out hope for a good result, but at the very least, I couldn't be the last one.

Xue'er appeared more elegant; she took the gold chain inside to flip it for five thousand yuan. Though it wasn't much, it was certainly enough for tonight's lodging.

I returned to the dormitory and saw that the door to the room across the hall was open, with light spilling out from within.

He glanced over, turned the page, and his gaze landed on a blue picture frame adorned with a white magnolia pattern.
