Volume 1, Chapter 35: The Timber Thief

Elder Zhao waved his hand, clearing the stove and teapot from the table, replacing them with three piles of items.

Then came the appearance of Star; he thought he had finally found his own star, until the incident with the dumplings last time.

As Young Master Kou scrambled to his feet, half of his cheek was swollen high, and one of his eyes was squeezed shut to a mere slit. Upon standing, Kou Zhuoyi spat out a mouthful of blood, which contained seven or eight teeth.

"Sigh... then let us wait. I just hope that the previous blow killed those from the Dongyu Alliance and the Blazing Blood Demon Sect thoroughly..." Mo Han sighed, shaking his head as he spoke.

"Heh, every kind of Heavenly Talisman has its use; as you put it, each one is heaven-defying." The old man replied with a smile.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that Young Master Qin knows..." Seeing Shi Juexi's worry, Kani retorted, undermining him completely.

As the saying goes, true gold fears no fire. Before long, her skills gained recognition from the hospital and the patients alike. She began to stand out and her reputation soared, eventually surpassing even that of Professor Shen.

But as the Grand Preceptor had said, Yao Zhan was his foster son; how could he possibly help an outsider against him? Thus, the Grand Preceptor couldn't help but laugh upon hearing it, and even the Emperor felt that Baochun might just be playing a prank.

"Is there something the matter?" Although the Golden Yinglong could perceive everything in the outside world through the senses of the Yinglong, it mostly used the Yinglong's vision to observe.

As soon as Yu Li's voice fell, the onlookers around them became excited once again, secretly thinking that there was a good show to watch now.

Yet, high above in the void, chains formed of order surged and moved incessantly. In that moment, they coiled around that supreme peak. The next instant, endless order manifested once more into chains, binding tightly until the entire Heavenly Saint Palace was completely shrouded within them.

His gray pupils flickered and constricted at this sight. Gazing at the endless starry sky in the distance, his thoughts drifted to that place—a place that made one’s heart palpitate and tremble with awe the moment it was conceived in the mind.

He lay on the ground, covered in dust, grimacing in pain; there was not a single part of his body that did not ache.

She could not tolerate anyone challenging her authority, and Mu Chengdong had actually scolded her in public for not knowing how to practice medicine, even accusing her of turning healthy people into patients. This was a grave insult to her.

"Zoff! You are injured? What on earth happened?" Kaori Noriko frowned, her tone cold and sharp.

Zhang Qian did not answer; he waved the Taibao Fan again, summoning blinding sand and wind, and under the cover of the dust, he lunged rapidly toward the Ghost Emperor.

The painstaking female fire dragon finally flapped her wings with relief and soared into the blue sky.

These days, the three brothers stayed at home and rarely went out. If their cousin hadn't specifically called for them today, Sun Xiang really wouldn't have wanted to come out.

Not only that, but in the midst of rolling, he executed an upward slash, striking the soft belly of the beaver beast.

Behind Fang Xuan, Daoist Sansheng and the others stared at each other in blank dismay, momentarily stunned and at a loss for what to do.

But why did he seem so exhausted now? The agent was naturally nervous and fearful.

Was the international rumor actually true? Did Huazhong really organize a group of extraordinary masters with such immense power?

If not for the arrival of Gu Li, Mu Xia was not sure how much longer she would have dawdled before letting go of everything in her heart and facing reality.

Previously, when discussing with the leaders of various factions, Yu Wuyan had proposed a strategy of a frontal assault, but it was rejected by everyone. Unexpectedly, after receiving the Crown Prince's aid, she changed her tune, claiming they had found the flaw in the formation and only needed to concentrate their strength to break it.

As the fireworks fell, Mu Xia casually discarded the bow and arrow in her hand, brushed the confetti off her clothes, and walked off the stage without even glancing at Xiao Ling'er, who was slumped on the ground.

"Many thanks for the Grand Princess's kindness, but the Princess Consort is not drunk; she is merely feeling slightly unwell and needs a brief rest," Manrou politely declined.

Yun Wei thought to herself that it was no wonder she had grown up twisted. A doting mother spells ruin for a child, and with both parents doting, it would be hard not to be ruined.

Facing the rising golden radiance, Yan Lie took one final look at the flowing water heading toward Luojing, his expression exceptionally calm.

The snake forest at night was even colder and more lethal than during the day, with countless deceptive dangers hidden in the darkness.

"Alright, you rest for now. I must go; there is a meeting later." After exchanging a few more words with Mo Yunqi, he left with Chief Wei.

Later, Song Jiaming secretly took out a bottle of seventh-grade pills as a bribe, and only then did the group get past the third line of defense.

"Heh, no need to be so polite; it’s what I should have done. Actually, I should thank you. That day in the cafeteria, if you hadn't stepped in to help, I would have been in trouble—I wouldn't even have known how I was beaten to death by Luo Hu and his gang!" I said while eating.

"Haha, thank you for the compliment." She admitted it directly. This straightforward personality made the old man like her, though she was a bit too blunt, which could be off-putting, as some things, when spoken aloud, were simply slaps to the face.

I chatted with her, wanting to ask about Huo Rou several times, but seeing the state Yu Mei was in, I decided against it after some thought.

"Too much bullying!" Ting Yutong opened her arms and reached toward the fair hand above her head, but was dodged by the nimble palm. She became instantly furious, her cheeks flushed red as she ground her teeth.

Beyond that, there was the use of bloodline abilities: the Eye of Gods and Demons was for observation, but the Slave of Gods and Demons actually used its fangs to bite the opponent, simultaneously absorbing their bloodline to ascend through such methods.
