“The world of dreams is complicated; it belongs to others. If possible, I prefer not to come to this realm.”
He wanted to buy some daily necessities and food but was promptly refused by the shopkeeper and then thrown out.
Inside the Fenghua Hotel, the place was packed. Almost everyone gathered around the hotel lobby’s entrance, discussing fervently. The atmosphere was lively and bustling, full of noise and excitement.
Wang Ming was right—thirty years later, jobs requiring frequent travel still prioritized men.
Lin Shiming watched intently at this moment; after all, he was preparing to break through to Nascent Soul, and this was valuable experience.
Sasuke was about to share his good news with Naruto but, upon opening his eyes, found Naruto staring at him continuously.
In this era, except for children in big cities, learning English was not an option. When Wen Liu attended school in her previous life, English classes only started in middle school. Even after transferring to a big city school, her English accent retained a rural twang, which she took nearly a year in university to correct.
Su Hao looked at him, offering a comforting smile. Her roommate must not have noticed, then she shifted closer to Xia Sang, inviting him over.
If it weren’t for human advanced weaponry, these defensive lines would have been torn apart long ago.
His hands were busy with hard labor, lacking finesse. Wen Liu’s skin was delicate, almost prickly, but she did not push him away.
“Since it was a fault of the Liu family, it’s only right to offer you some compensation!” Liu Tianhao said naturally.
This Flame Demon Wolf was picky about its target, unfortunately choosing Ye Han, the pervert. Even a level-six Flame Demon Wolf was no match for Ye Han, who slew it effortlessly.
As his thoughts shifted, the strange phenomenon in the sky changed. A bloody claw shadow constantly morphed, gathering dark energy into a figure, weaving through thunder and shadowy winds. Sharp sword intent soared, eerie and deadly, causing all living things to wither. The entire world transformed into a ghostly prison of the apocalypse.

“This cricket fighting contest is national; it’s held annually. Many cricket enthusiasts come to participate,” Li Cheng explained.
“Great! I’ll notify everyone right away,” Liangzi replied excitedly upon hearing Li Cheng’s words.
Though spirit instruments and magical treasures were precious, a large establishment like Babao Tower wouldn’t open without a few fine items to showcase.
The terrified Samonay became even more panicked. In the pitch-black night where one couldn’t see their own hand, for safety, each gripped their weapon tightly, slashing wildly at any approaching figure. The camp erupted into chaos.
Not good… too mundane. I feel someone as radiant as Du Bin doesn’t suit such lowly things.
“The Celestial Master is looking for you; it’s something important!” Zheng Meiyan urged politely.
Chu Ke had already been formidable, causing considerable trouble for several trial participants, but no one expected her to be hiding such power.
“Really, Dr. Liu? You’re willing to trust me again? Since you support me so much, I won’t let you down, nor those who once researched with me,” Ji Liangchuan felt much better upon hearing Dr. Liu’s support.
Yang Qian paused, calmly waiting for her heartbeat to steady, then adjusted her hair bun and collar.
After so many years, his designs had never improved, remaining stagnant. He knew the unfair treatment over the years had long drained his passion for his craft. Without motivation, one cannot create excellent work.
Suddenly, Xie Limin lowered her raised index finger. The massive circular magic array spinning in the sky erupted into an intense red light as her finger dropped.
Sheng Jinyu entered the hall quietly, sitting opposite Sheng Jianglai, listening to a conversation between her elder brother and mother.

This was enough for their consumption. Moreover, they had other gains; for instance, the land left to fallow was planted with alfalfa. Although forty percent still had to be paid to Reiner, people could actually eat alfalfa, which was nutritious.
Jiang Nan looked at the corpse on the stage; her eyelashes trembled slightly, but her eyes showed no emotional ripples, as if the dead were strangers rather than comrades.
The things he had introduced would not diminish the life force of the tea tree; the superficial appearance might seem affected, but the core vitality remained intact.
Before he could finish speaking, a chilling sensation swept down his neck as a sharp curved blade slashed across his throat.
“No! The master said, no matter what, by any means, you must be brought back!” The man who spoke earlier said expressionlessly.
Back then, when I left this place, it was like stepping out of a cage—everything felt brand new. Yet three years later, I returned. In the future, I will inevitably be drawn into the palace’s intrigues once more.
Zhao Deyan glared fiercely at Zhao Xiang, growling lowly. If he weren’t outmatched, he would have torn Zhao Xiang to pieces by now.
Li Wanrou couldn’t help but feel a sting in her eyes and warmth in her tear ducts as she heard those words, as if something was welling up inside her. Yet Yan Wang’s words had also awakened her.
