Volume 1, Chapter 26: Tiger Star III

Lei Hu was often looked after by her, so his concern made him anxious, yet he feared that stepping outside would only cause more trouble, as he was truly helpless against the aerial threat. He could only remain in the cave with Hu Xuan, offering mutual comfort while awaiting the outcome.

These ten courtesans who had emerged from the preliminary selection were all backed by wealthy merchants; it was, in essence, a mutually beneficial cooperation.

"Don't worry. Later, I will bully her right in front of you to exact your revenge," Wang Ningzhi said shamelessly.

Until he saw how Chu Qian dealt with Wuchen and heard the miserable screams, Bai Xuan broke into a cold sweat, his legs turning to jelly. From that point on, Chu Qian's words were like imperial decrees to him, even more authoritative than the commands of his own master.

The swampy ground was covered in pools of water, damp earth, and dense vegetation. Reeds and tall grasses grew in the shallow water near the banks, and from time to time, bubbles would rise, releasing the scent of decaying leaves under the sun.

"What should we do now? We have so few people; how can we escape from an army of fifty thousand, especially with the wind blowing outside?" Zhu Ziju asked.

"You just said it didn't sound good!" Ye Hui said, her heart filled with irritation as she patted Lin Xiaoyi twice more.

Seeing those red and blue lights, everyone immediately became alert, fearing that Asakura Yoh would order another sudden attack. Although they did not know its power, they had to be on guard, as they were already exhausted.

"I am ashamed. In truth, the primary reason for my visit today is that I have a favor to ask," Lu Yuan said, his weathered face flushing slightly.

Yet, that incomplete period in junior high school was the very fact that caused a gap to persist between the two pitchers and their peers, even if it was not wide.

As soon as these words were spoken, hundreds of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room ten years into the future felt a sudden, inexplicable tension in their hearts.

The demons in the cave saw this and fell silent as if struck dumb, quickly kneeling for fear that their king would vent his anger upon them.

He was unclear about the matter, but he would not allow anyone to sully it; yet, he could not entirely dismiss what others had said.

Upon exiting the swampy secret realm, their field of vision was immediately filled with endless, vast, chaotic energy, leaving nothing visible.

Xu Yingying heard her aunt’s words clearly; her expression darkened, and a hint of sorrow appeared in her eyes.

She thought to herself: Given my personality, there must be a reason and a contingency plan I prepared when I helped them transform into dragons using the Five Virtues Dragon Qi, despite knowing its drawbacks after crossing into the Green Snake world. Once I return there, I will know what I was thinking at the time.

The man appeared to be around fifty years old, very thin, with streaks of grey in his hair, yet he held his chest straight.

The fierce gale in this space was so strong that even the water contained tiny blades of wind; when she reached her hand into the water, she felt as if she were being sliced by knives.

Something was said on the other end of the phone, and Qiu Tianyi's expression gradually changed, which piqued Kang An's curiosity.

The reason Xiao Ye possessed such formidable strength, allowing him to dominate on the open battlefield despite his ordinary physique, was because he had cultivated advanced battle techniques and arts.

After temporarily cutting off the communication, Jin Yunhao slowly looked up, his gaze complex as he turned toward Tai Ya and the others opposite him.

"I..." Remilia wanted to vent her dissatisfaction with this setting to Sakuya, but she was interrupted by a voice coming from the direction of the torii gate.

His eyes swept across the sky to see that the Blood Dragon Gate had disappeared, and a strangely shaped old man stood in the sky a thousand feet away.

Bei Hai knew the reason but would not say it; there were no mosquitoes on his island because he had planted plenty of reed leaves in the damp areas.

I snorted in annoyance, walked out of the airport, and after eating a casual meal, I returned to Yang Yao’s hotel.

Everything else proceeded according to plan, and there was nothing more to say. After bidding farewell to his parents, Bei Hai got into the car with Du He and the others to head to the pearl, preparing to return to the United States together. Naturally, Li Weiwei, who had no attachment to her home, was among them.

It was clearly impossible for a wooden wall a few centimeters thick to block bullets! Bei Hai, not caring about the consequences, prepared to pull the trigger directly at the wooden wall.

The resemblance between Renko Usami and Reimu/Unmu was obvious at a glance, but the similarity between Merry and Yukari Yakumo was subtle, requiring keen observation or long-term association to discover.

At this moment, the starlight that had been drawn by the Ancestor’s Three Prohibitions, covering the whole body like a silken cocoon, was finally shattered, allowing him to break free from the quagmire and regain his mobility.

However, it was still a struggle, after all, having lost so much blood. Especially when jumping through that exit, she even had to use the stones normally used by workers walking back and forth.

This was true; she wasn't the one who had hit anyone, but the Song parents were now convinced that she was the culprit. If her uncle took her to the hospital, wouldn't that just be delivering her to them to be torn apart?

Although Shao Xuan was a glutton, she was also gentle and thoughtful. Mansheng was very happy, but she found it difficult to smile.

Song Jianan tried to take her hand, but Chu Yunsheng shoved hers into her pockets, avoiding his touch, and gave the driver the address of the old house in the northern suburbs.

However, the older brother’s skills were truly incredible; it was as if no one was a match for him. Under his protection, she felt very safe, and she wished she could stay like this, with the older brother, forever.

At this moment, they swapped positions, and the two men sat in the chairs behind to watch. Liang Jinyang was inherently skilled, and her shots were beautiful. Mansheng’s performance, however, was miserable; she barely finished her ten arrows, and while Liang Jinyang had long since finished, not a single one of Mansheng's arrows hit the target.

However, conversely, Dr. Yan understood both Traditional Chinese and Western medicine; no matter what patient came into her hands, she handled them with ease, and working with her was a very relaxing experience.
