37 Chapter 37

Viewers who had been following the variety show grew curious, eager to see how she would outperform Qing You.

Liang Shan saw that he hadn't fooled Xiong Qi, but he didn't mind. Ever since becoming a shamanic medium, he had increasingly felt the disadvantage of being a lone wolf. If nothing else, Second Grandma kept a tight grip on information, which was quite frustrating. This spurred his desire to build his own power base.

Seeing that Liang Shan was about to leave, Dai Wanjiang, who had just been dissatisfied with him, grew anxious and hurriedly spoke up to stop him, looking toward Du Zhicheng for help.

"Grandma, can you help me restore my phone signal? I’ve been out of touch with my friends for too many days..." Chu Qingxue said in a low voice, her eyes filled with pleading.

The peanuts were plump and full, cooked to perfection, soaking up the savory juices of the chicken feet. They were the ideal side dish—flavorful enough to serve as a base without overshadowing the main course.

Cheng Pu’s short sword flew out instantly, slipping from his grasp just like his previous broadsword. It sailed far away, landing outside the boat and sinking to the bottom of the river.

Hanazono Lily remarked that the lemon-flavored stuff was better left for Jashin-chan to enjoy at her leisure.

After finishing his story, Zhou Ran didn't end there. Instead, he incorporated examples from those around him to illustrate his point. His goal was to encourage everyone not to give up, and the song reached its climactic crescendo.

The man in green robes respectfully invited everyone into the flower hall. Throughout the entire ordeal, Yu Hu didn't utter a single word.

"Hmph!" Hu Chaoxian looked on with disdain. A burst of renewed strength surged through his blade as he declared, "Ten thousand virtues return to one—vanish!" As he pulled his sword away, the momentum forced the short sword from Ba Shisi’s hand.

"My lady, this newly tailored spring gown is the work of the famous 'First Cut' tailor in the capital. The material is exquisite Shu silk—light, airy, and form-fitting. When the wind blows, it flows with you; it’s simply beautiful!" Xian'er held the dress out to Ru Jiu, speaking in a flattering tone.

How could Huang Donglai have brought so few men when dealing with the Poison Alliance, one of the world's five major assassin organizations?

At these words, before Tang Yu could respond, Chu Yan’s expression went stiff. She turned her head with difficulty to stare at him.

"However, this love-gu has a side effect. Once it is dispelled, the person who cast it will suffer a backlash," Jia Liao said, looking at Ru Hua.

She winked at Shan Chun, who immediately understood and gave a few instructions to a palace servant before following behind.

Thinking this with a mix of humor and self-mockery, Liu Quan tossed the wrist guard toward Tezuka.

Xiao Xingluo remained silent. He hadn't forgotten why he had been demoted—the Emperor suspected him of usurping the throne! To lead troops and vie for military power now would be repeating the same mistake.

Peter seemed to shrink back again, while James and Snape appeared to explode the moment she spoke.

Seeing Xiao Hanyu attacking, the black cat rolled on the ground to dodge the blade. It then flicked its tail, catapulting the spiders on the ground onto Xiao Hanyu.

This remark only served to confuse Su Nian'an. She stole a glance at her boss, wondering if she should continue pretending to be unwell, and if it was better to clutch her stomach or her chest.

Fortunately, thanks to the medicine prepared by Duan Ziyun and the diligent care of Long'er, they suffered no major harm.

Because only one world had been created, this single continent alone was hundreds of times larger than Earth, and that was only the known territory; there were still vast, uncharted realms.

The salesperson was very professional. Despite the shop being crowded, they still looked up to greet Lu Can as he entered. Lu Can waved a hand, signaling that he was just looking.

Don't let his Heavenly Monarch-level strength fool you; if he were to be targeted by them, he would have nowhere to run and no chance of a good end.

"Heh, right? But that’s no surprise. After all, no one has ever intervened in our duels before—so naturally, there was no way to commission a third party to judge the outcome—but now..." Yegusa let out a low, muffled giggle, pointing quickly at Ryusei.

I was classmates with Yang Yi. At first, my intentions were completely pure, but after hearing Zhang Feng’s words, I had some thoughts about getting closer to her, though I later dismissed them.

When he was at the sixth stage of the Fighter realm, he was confident he wouldn't be defeated by a ninth-stage fighter. So, what about now?

Qin Muchen, I wanted so badly to find a reason to stay by your side, but there really isn't any left—not even a shred.

This time, thanks to Li Muzi adding fuel to the fire, it seemed the expected effect would be achieved in less than seven days.

He had originally intended to challenge the Northwest Military Region with one of the hidden realms, but it was clear that wouldn't be possible now.

These hidden realms were not permanently closed; at certain special times, the connection between them and Earth would occasionally open.

"That's more like it. Anything else? If not, let's leave it at that. I'm a bit tired and would like to rest." Zhang You issued a dismissal. Having accomplished his task, Xu Dengying did not linger and rose to take his leave.

From this level on, one could begin preparations for the LV7 Bronze Advancement Mission.

"The Murong family doesn't usually bully the commoners, but it's a pity they chose to marry into the Hongyan Manor and help the wicked. Brother Qingfeng certainly won't let them off," Gongsun Qian said.
