Chapter 25

As the six Infinity Stones fell into his grasp, a kaleidoscopic radiance surged across Su Fei’s body, the power of the six fundamental laws continuously absorbed by his Eternal Saint Body.

Though her face was dark, I could clearly perceive the smile playing on her lips. So confident—does she truly think I wouldn't dare strike? If that is the case, then I suppose I shall hold nothing back.

This was Shen Qingzhi’s decision: to vanish, leaving Xu Yi to fret. She would return when the timing was right, for that would yield the best result. Were she found now, it might only prove counterproductive.

Tang Ying opened her suitcase once more, laying stack after stack of banknotes onto the seller’s stall. The visual impact was profound; bank transfers are merely digits, but the sensation of a cash transaction is something else entirely.

Indeed, these are the most carefree moments. Casting aside all concerns and burdens, only our banter brings true joy.

The old woman looked toward Nadine’s chest, her gaze tracing the flow of blood within. "Hiss!" With a sharp prick of her fingertip, she pierced the vein in Nadine’s arm. A suffocating stench erupted from the skin, accompanied by a flow of purple blood.

Although it was only a rough draft, Ye Xiaohan’s floor plan was clean and efficient. She had partitioned the space meticulously, confirming the walls to be demolished multiple times before marking them with Ye Yuqi’s approval.

Even though she had never seen Jiang Han fight, Lin Xue could sense that this bastard was skilled in martial arts.

A transparent floor-to-ceiling window stood before her. This type of glass allowed those inside to see out, while remaining opaque from the outside, perfectly preserving the guests' privacy.

She had slept until she woke naturally. Her temperament was quite gentle and easygoing, and she found washing the morning's dishes to be a simple, unobtrusive task.

Lin Yanan only then learned that the reason the Huang woman had come by was due to a guilty conscience; unable to sleep at night, she had taken to wandering by the lotus pond.

Perhaps it was this assurance that brought Banruo peace of mind. She said nothing more, simply nodding to indicate she would no longer act recklessly.

Two great mountains flanked the entrance to Listening Wind Gorge, serving as a natural barrier against prying eyes. Between them lay only a narrow, V-shaped gap; whenever a breeze drifted through, it sounded like the plucking of delicate harp strings, playing a faint, ethereal melody, which gave the gorge its name.

Xue Mingzhu was restless, nodding absently as she patted Lin Nuannuan’s hand, her gaze darting anxiously toward this so-called Yue Zimu.

The Underworld is draped in eternal darkness, devoid of sun or starlight. I cannot tell the time, nor distinguish day from night. I can only trust my instincts to decide whether to rest or continue my search—the search for that snow-white, cold-blooded beast, the Nether Snow Beast, the only creature capable of saving my child.

"I am a little disgusted, just a tiny bit. But since you didn't drink it, I suppose I won't hold it against you," Ji Xinliang said with a cheeky grin.

Meanwhile, Luo Yi sat silently to the side, no trace of worry in her eyes, a faint smile touching her lips.

Yes, Xiao Zhe was right. The more critical the situation, the more she had to remain steady and keep her composure.

The true form of the lake monster was a plesiosaur-type magical beast. To it, the mirage clam was a rare delicacy, and the manticore bones were the perfect lure to draw it in.

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief. As locals of the capital, they hadn't received a Supreme Card—how could Lu Tangtang possibly have one? Wouldn't that be a slap in the face to all of them?

"I haven't seen much of the world, so I don't know what kind of situation we are about to face. I hope the Elder will forgive my ignorance," Xue Long said with a simple-minded grin. He bowed, stepped back, and took his leave of Mo Mo.

Having disappeared for the entire afternoon, Ruyi expected Li'er to come after her with a whip. To her surprise, Li'er did appear, but she was holding a bowl of freshly brewed ginger tea.

With his mind made up, Fan Jian stepped out of the supermarket with his groceries. The cash he had barely held onto was suddenly lighter by two bills, a realization that made his heart ache.

Ling Jiantong suddenly felt a deep sense of sorrow. She had set out to take revenge on Hua Yue, but in the end, she had achieved nothing. Instead, she had inadvertently done Situ Qianchen a great favor. As for Hua Yue, there were too many mysteries surrounding him. Ling Jiantong wanted to unravel them; everything else could be cast aside, and she would care for nothing else.

Liu Shuang gave Xuan Yuanpotian a rough overview of the situation and requested his help. Though surprised, Xuan Yuanpotian agreed.

As Gan Yue walked past Qing Binghe, she noticed the latter staring at her intently. She paused, puzzled. It wasn't the wary look others gave her, but one of deep confusion.

"I can hide behind you; you can protect me, right?" Wei Xuan said with a sly twinkle in her eye.

Gong Chutian had no time to ponder the reasons; the situation here was far too conspicuous, and if they were discovered, the consequences would be dire. She hurried to lift Ye Zhengbai from the floor. Though somewhat lean, he was a man of nearly seven feet, and his dead weight was more than she could bear.
