Are you hoping that I could die one more time?

Ji Qingran stared fixedly at Lu Tingyuan without blinking.

He did not answer her question immediately, but instead raised his hand to tuck the blanket around Su Yiyi, gently patting the young girl's hand to signal her not to be afraid.

Clearly, a whole room of people was waiting for his answer, yet he alone acted as if he heard nothing.

Not until Su Yiyi was properly settled did he lift his eyes to look at Ji Qingran, his gaze as cold as if enveloped in frost.

She would recall herself making a scene and rolling around in front of Huan Yusheng and Yue Zhi'en, all to prove Yue Zhi'en's innocence.

"What is going on?" Jiabai saw it too, but given her professional competence and cautious attitude, she would never court such disaster.

However, just as she was about to pick up a braised pork meatball with her chopsticks, another pair of chopsticks materialized out of nowhere and pinned the meatball down.

At these words, Liu Jia turned as pale as a sheet of paper, shuddered all over, and stared at Liu Zhihai with a look of utter disbelief.

She had spent the entire afternoon yesterday saving this guy! And early this morning she gets yelled at? Did they really think she had no temper?

In the courtyard, Xiao Yepeng wanted to follow Daohua, but who would have thought that upon hearing the commotion and turning back to see Xiao Yepeng, Granny Gu would simply drop straight to the ground with a thud.

A cold sneer crept onto Lin Fan's lips. When someone brazenly thrusts their face right in front of you, if you don't give them a slap, wouldn't you simply be failing to give them face?

Jiang Ziya examined and treated him for a while, confirming that he had fallen victim to a rare poison—a toxin capable of simultaneously freezing both the primordial spirit and the true soul while launching a frenzied corrosion against them.

The light of life did not attack the venomous body; instead, it gently and steadily flowed into her, repairing and strengthening her physique. As the toxic alien energy receded, her body began to revert to Yang Qianqian's mortal human form from Earth.

"Wait, Madam Huan, are you just going to let him leave like this?!" Lu Qingqing expressed her indignation at this bizarre turn of events.

He took the chopsticks, glanced at Ma Ran, and then at Li Huan. Satisfied that it was safe for him to eat, he disregarded the scalding heat of the noodles and wolfed them down ravenously, finally finishing every last drop of the bowl until not even the soup remained.

Master Tian's side was not idle either; he had already sought out various people to discuss the sale of the shop, but one after another ran into issues, and not a single deal could be successfully negotiated.

Yan Jiunian froze on the spot, his eyes filled with overwhelming reluctance. He dropped to one knee before the token, his body trembling slightly with anger as he clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it fiercely against the ground, a trickle of blood seeping out between his fingers.

Shen Junyu and Zhang Xu found Chu Jiangli's overly sweet and cloying voice almost unbearable. Consequently, a series of unabashed coughs burst forth immediately.

Outside the karst cave, Su Yi's figure flashed as he darted inside, grasping the Edge of Diffusion—a weapon he had spent the past two days studying and now understood in broad strokes.

Li Huan and the various generals walked through every military tent, offering personal greetings to the wounded soldiers before returning to the commander's mansion to continue discussing major strategies.

Tang Yutian looked at Tian Dietian's angry expression. The dim daylight made it impossible to see her features clearly; he could only make out her dissatisfied pout as she rubbed her forehead, and a sudden, hollow emptiness gripped his heart.

Daoist Hanyuan's words were cut short by a burst of mocking laughter. The previously cloudless sky above the plaza was instantly shrouded in a blanket of dark clouds, within the boundless expanse of which vague figures flickered.

"Because the mere sight of you makes me uncomfortable, thoroughly uncomfortable." His ruthlessness was etched entirely in the depths of his eyes. Rolling his pupils slightly, he gazed coldly at the beautiful woman beside him, his grip on her tightening viciously and causing her to let out a muffled gasp of pain, her face twisting in agony.

Long moments later, a crimson halo sketched a hazy image in midair, but before Xinghui could manage a clear look, it rapidly dissipated, melting away into nothingness.

Upon witnessing this eerie spectacle, Ouyang Lingjing turned as pale as a sheet, hurried over to Liang Shan, and asked with a bewildered expression.
