Faced with such an attack, the hatred seemed somewhat helpless. Yet even so, its childish stomping back and forth was still threatening—anyone who was firmly stomped on would have their bones shattered into powder. The dungeon teleporter didn’t wait long before Po Jun arrived with his team. Now at level seven, they were clearly ahead of most others, their faces brimming with newfound confidence. They looked completely different from before, full of youthful vigor. The advisor continued on his own: “The hot dog stand owner took my money. Every time you go, he adds a special ingredient, although he doesn’t know what it is. He thinks it’s just a few drops of ordinary sauce—one of my little pranks. But actually, the sauce hides nanobots.” Zuo Lin approached Sun Digui’s residence with mixed feelings. The initial idea for the Environmental Composite Effect Index was his, and although everyone found it a useful tool, it had brought more trouble than expected. Meanwhile, Ying Zhao, Fei Dan, Fei Lian, and the one hundred and eight Zhou Tian demon gods bowed and said, “We take our leave.” They then turned and left the Lingxiao Palace, heading together toward the dwelling of the Great Sage Fuxi. At that moment, Zhang Xiao’s group encountered them and felt their spirits drain and their will falter. “I revoke this order. Whether to kill, whom to kill, and how to kill—all decisions will be made by me,” Sula said sternly. All missiles failed; none could hit the target, not even reaching a quarter of the distance. She wasn’t bound or gagged, only staring blankly ahead in silence. This photo shoot had two themes and three tasks. Besides shooting the images for print advertisements, they also needed to take supporting photos for two different types of public relations articles and advertorials placed in magazines by the Yelang Garment Company. Yan Luoxi lay in bed watching it all, smiling silently. How did this hospital hire its nurses? Each one more beautiful than the last—truly captivating.

Jia Mingjie was dissatisfied with the filming angles Xu Xiaoman had chosen for him. The sunlight’s hue wasn’t rich and golden enough to create the fairy-tale effect Jia Mingjie envisioned. Li Yi, despite Li An’s unreliable repeated assurances, left feeling a hundred times uneasy. Once his brother departed, Li An immediately called around, searching for Yan Luoxi and also checking if Zhou Guangtao was still around. Just then, Yan Luoxi’s phone rang incessantly. Seeing it was Sun Zhijun’s number, she hastily answered. Lately, she had been craving food constantly, always feeling hungry. No, after this meal, she would start dieting tomorrow. Unconsciously, her once-light spirit suddenly fell like a stone from the sky, resembling a red cloud descending from heaven. “Thank you,” Kim Tae-yeon smiled in gratitude. For some reason, the atmosphere between Kim Tae-yeon and Liu Yihan had grown polite. Though their interactions remained relatively easygoing, their conversations had become sparse. Is your pain caused by love or by lack thereof? Are you sure getting what you want is always right? “Chirp chirp!” A flash of fire whirled in the air before settling on Ye Mo’s left shoulder. Watching Liu Shengwu win the match, Ye Tian was pleased, seemingly eager to face him in battle. After the fight ended, the elders recorded the results and then called out the names of the next two competitors. Su Nuannuan felt a flush of anger upon hearing Ji Keyin’s brazen and indifferent remarks about her. This message came from Hu Yanqing’s roommate, Ye Haihua, who had accompanied me these past two days. Though unspoken, her silent companionship deeply moved me.

“Even if I’m good-looking, you can’t waste your training time looking at me,” Li Lu said. At first, Sword Elder’s words seemed confusing, but clever Ye Tian understood their meaning clearly. Sword Elder still had things unknown to him, and some truths he was not yet ready to reveal. “Damn it, anything is possible, but this is definitely impossible,” muttered the old man Wuji. After dinner, Ye Tian and A’Kui prepared to return to their rooms. They had traveled all day from Yanzhou City to Yinze Land, and Ye Tian was exhausted—especially since he had unintentionally defeated both “Double Elites” of Yinze Land. Gazing skyward, Shen Feifei was filled with boundless regret. Scoundrel! Villain! Bastard! And a desperate, unwanted virgin! In short, Shen Feifei cursed Xiao Yi silently with every vile word she could think of. Every day, she heard a faint voice calling her name. She recognized it as hoarse and weathered. Now, Chu Ming had gained a complete understanding of what was happening here. “So, Su Yang, isn’t the Dou Qi training ground pretty good?” Carter asked with a smile.
