Cunning Little Rascal

She met his gaze. His eyes were deep and dark, seemingly concealing a multitude of emotions, yet his expression remained calm and detached, revealing not a single ripple.

Yinhua, who had been standing silently to the side, gave Lilac a nudge, telling her not to overthink things, wash the bowls quickly, and go back to rest. Was she not afraid that the water wasn't cold enough?

Although Gu Fancheng was only serving as a supporting figure to Chu Haoran this time, his fame was simply too vast. If he were to be overly modest now, there was no telling how much time would be wasted, so Gu Fancheng had no choice but to nod and step to the front of the crowd.

Thinking of this, Wang Chi was startled by his own thought, and then softly comforted himself in his heart: Impossible, impossible. How many years has it been since a being of the Moon Gleam tier appeared? Even the Peak Master has never admitted to breaking through to the Moon Gleam realm, let alone these two people before my eyes.

What would she do if he ignored her? She had not felt such a sense of dread even when Xindu Li hesitated to marry her.

"Are these the nine thrones that suppress the eight great deities?" Ye Chen stared at the thrones for a moment, then asked in sudden astonishment.

However, because his voice dropped low, it carried a heavy sense of pressure, shocking Madam Xu so much that she looked at her father, her mouth moving constantly without being able to utter a single syllable.

Unable to glean any useful information, Xiangru grew somewhat restless and anxious. She even began to contemplate whether she should barge straight into the front duty room to speak with Madam Xie, only to tragically realize that she had no access to the duty schedule of the female physicians, and had no way of knowing on which days Madam Xie was on duty.

As soon as Lian Fengyue entered, she saw Xiangxiang crying while desperately scrambling up the alchemy master's robes. She instantly lost her composure and burst out laughing.

Just as she was hesitating, the door opened from the inside. It was Yueji coming out; she had entered the Lan family household together with Jinzhi and Lanxiang. After a few years apart, she too had grown into a young woman, possessing a rather graceful and poised demeanor.

The pure white longsword suspended in mid-air trembled even more intensely, droplets of blood clinging ever tighter, while the vibrating pure white sword seemed to be drawn by some unseen force.

Tao Donger snapped out of her trance, hurriedly gave an affirmative response, and then efficiently set about preparing the items.

Just as Manrou had stated, the media portrayed her in a terribly harsh light. Whether it was to curry favor and fight Zhang Guozhi's battles or for some other reason, they twisted her status as a victim into one of a promiscuous and unprincipled woman, eventually expanding their criticism to how irresponsible and shameless her entire generation was.

Yet the moment they retreated beyond the reach of the moonlight, they all halted right there, standing motionless as if pondering their next move.

These few words echoed relentlessly in Mu Chengen's mind like a curse. His hand tightened involuntarily, crushing the fine Xuan paper into a crumpled mess.

Wang Chen looked at Qin Lanruo, took a bite of his food, and wore a look of helplessness. Qin Lanruo apparently imagined the place he went to was immensely developed, even expecting him to bring back some local specialties. In reality, the place Wang Chen went to was poor beyond measure; talking about local specialties there was complete nonsense.

"Xiaoxiao, what happened to Colonel He? Judging by these news reports, it looks quite serious," Feng Jing asked with curiosity.

Within a few minutes, the side of the Tower of System representing the fire attribute on the third floor turned completely crimson. Near the three mist spheres inside Shi Tian's body, a red mist sphere quietly condensed as well.

He used his strength with increasing fervor, as if trying to please her, or perhaps desiring to make her willingly sink beneath him.

The attribute of life counters the attribute of evil, but when the attribute of evil reaches a certain extreme, there is no telling who will end up getting hurt.

However, compared to completing a single quest that grants hundreds of years of cultivation, his own snail-paced training speed was completely negligible.

The man was dressed in white with an air of supreme arrogance. Upon seeing Xie Guichen arrive, he cast a look of utter disdain in his direction.

"I had a fight with Feihong back then and got injured, so my cultivation was temporarily lost," Xie Guichen explained.

They walked openly in the outside world. Zhang Yu donned a Daoist robe, and every time they arrived at a village, he would take the initiative to converse with the villagers and use his arts to treat their ailments.

In order to approach her and utilize her, Chu Moxuan kept himself thoroughly informed of her every move.

"Naturally. Lady Lushui, please speak your mind and tell me what you need. As long as it is within my power to grant, I will surely give it to you," Xie Guichen said solemnly.

The new Prefect of Jinan simply chose to turn a blind eye to the Taiping Cult. Primarily, his investigations revealed that the Taiping Cult kept an extremely low profile; at most, they paid visits to the Fu and Lin families as well as the Prince of Jinan, and ordinary commoners rarely ever encountered their followers.

Abu stared expressionlessly at Dahong and said: "That the Xuanyuan tribe has Xuanyuan is the fortune of your clan; that the Yunxuan tribe has Yunxuan is the fortune of our clan."

How could it be? To Chu Moxuan, the fake imperial concubine was merely a substitute for Yun Qianyue. How could Chu Moxuan possibly bestow his favors upon her? That was an absolute impossibility.

Zheng Zha's injuries had already been completely healed during the captain certification process. As for the rest of the members, aside from Zhao Yingkong and Zhang Heng who sustained minor injuries, everyone else emerged utterly unscathed—especially Bawang and the newcomer Zhu Wen, who practically spent *Final Destination 4*—a world notorious for its uncrackable, total-annihilation nature—as if they were on a leisurely vacation.

Once Xueyaha had walked far away, Wu Yong immediately transformed into her appearance, ran over to the room where Wei Qiong was staying, and knocked on the door.

"That's right. The one we just saw is our sole pathway to the outside world. This teleportation array is a legacy of the ancient era, preserved down to this day!" Li Jiangwei said, gesturing toward the open clearing.

"Did you call those two girls, Zisuan and Biran?" Lin Yifeng, walking shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Ziqi, glanced at her and asked.

Once IDG withdrew, the options left for Zhang Shixin were severely limited. Lacking funding channels, the moment any competitor emerged, his pressure would skyrocket, making the prospects of securing financing increasingly bleak.
