If the tiger demon had only stepped halfway into the Inner Qi Realm, then this wild boar demon had likely only its heels left on the outside.

She had been so focused on teaching that she forgot about the porridge bubbling in the pot several times, and it was only thanks to Tianyang poking her to remind her that the whole pot didn't burn.

Tongguan Guard is not merely a pass; after more than a thousand years of development, it has become a city.

Exiting the West Pass allows for the governance of the entire Western Regions. Guarding the Turbid River ferry at the East Pass ensures the security of Lintao Prefecture and even the entire Guanzhong Plain.

After seizing Heping Pass, they attempted to dismantle the cannons on the batteries, but despite their utmost efforts, it proved entirely impossible.

That blood-colored shrine, with its torii gate hanging upside down, looked as though it had been drenched in the blood of tens of thousands of living beings, its scarlet hue becoming increasingly shocking.

In particular, Ye Sui'an, who had earned the greatest merit, was promoted to a First-Cloud Exorcism Guard and exchanged his rewards for ten bottles of Hundred-Spirit Medicinal Quenching Pills.

Meanwhile, Chitanda Mirai held Kamishiro Hakufu's hand, the two chatting as they observed the marine life in the aquarium.

Even in past years, the yield of the two main staple crops, potatoes and corn, was only just enough under relatively normal conditions to help everyone survive the long, harsh winter without starving to death.

Before long, a group of undercover agents unearthed quite a few medicines, food items, and daily necessities from the modern plane, as well as several purses filled with silver and copper coins.

Empress Pei was not in the palace, so Imperial Noble Consort Zheng, who held the highest rank and managed palace affairs, could not simply stand by. She immediately dispatched two imperial physicians to the Second Prince's residence to take the Second Princess Consort's pulse and prescribe medicine to protect the pregnancy. She also bestowed numerous precious medicinal herbs and tonics for fetal health.

The area was riddled with strangely shaped natural rock walls, and the rocks emitted an eerie aura. Unlike other sections, the hidden walls were brown. The hunter searched for a while but could not find the mechanism to open the stone chamber.

This plot twist, comparable to the schemes of the inner palace, left Ling Xiaohan in a state of shock, unable to recover for a long time, while simultaneously admiring Leng Yuchen’s mastery of human nature.

Of course, some felt that Ning Xi could never craft it, but others remained neutral.

When the second-to-last spaceship exploded from within, a purple light flashed, and the final ship’s attempt to escape seemed to be halted in its tracks.

Ryan called out to Banner, and while the white driver was still pondering, he had already started walking toward Stark Tower.

While Yu Er was lost in thought, a resonant voice echoed from within the border city, and immediately, three figures flew out, their powerful auras permeating the air.

But after that fight last night, I could be certain he wasn't a fake Brother Chao, because he took two punches to the face; they bruised and swelled as they should, but his features didn't distort, so he was undoubtedly the real Brother Chao.

Within a few breaths, Ling Xiaohan reasoned it out: Leng Yuchen had not named anyone specifically, and she must not lose her composure.

Messi frowned, clearly annoyed that Chen Long hadn't found the right spot during the acupuncture, causing him a sharp sting of pain.

A flash of fierce killing intent crossed Elder Shen’s eyes, yet his hand did not pause in the slightest; instead, it accelerated, clawing ruthlessly toward Ji Yuchen.

However, Shi Zichen was quite dissatisfied with her movement; he pulled Su Momo directly into his arms, switched to a holding embrace, and pulled her tightly against him, lowering his head to kiss her fragrant hair.

"Buddy! What’s wrong? How did you end up like this after just one day? Don't tell me you were too wild last night and almost died of exhaustion?" Wang Tao teased, seeing Gao Yuan’s listless state.

If it weren't inconvenient to reveal his true strength right now, Ji Yuchen would have left long ago. How could he tolerate being suppressed by this God King-level expert?

Five days later, the Blue-Shirted Saint Emperor discovered that he was now evenly matched with his opponent in terms of formation mastery. He was both surprised and delighted, and he continued to discuss restrictions with Lu Feng.

"I told you long ago, bring out all your skills, otherwise this battle between us is destined to make you nothing more than a punching bag!" Xu Hong sneered as he looked at the Orange Demon.

"How much does it cost to join your association? I want to sign up and see; it’ll count as helping you gain some popularity. Ouch... why are you kicking me?" Gao Yuan looked at Wang Ziyun’s indignant face, unsure of what he had done.

When do antiques become worthless? In times of chaos. In turbulent times, human life is as cheap as grass; who has time to worry about antiques?

The position chosen by the Imperial Guards was quite interesting; it was exactly on the boundary between danger and safety—not so close that they would be caught in the lake's turbulence, but not so far that they could be accused of dereliction of duty for refusing to risk their lives to rescue the prince. One had to admit, these guys were all seasoned veterans.

At that moment, a ray of Buddha-light descended. When the light dissipated, a withered old nun appeared. She was gaunt, dressed in black monk’s robes, her teeth gone, her chest sunken and back hunched, appearing extremely aged. Though she looked unremarkable, she was actually one of the famous Six Weirdos of the Universe—the Buddhist Master Xinyu.

Lin Mu returned as well, but he didn't see Cai Zhen'er. Since she was part of her upcoming plan, she asked why Cai Zhen'er hadn't followed, only to find Teacher Yi’s expression becoming somewhat subtle.

"Tch, what’s there to be so smug about? It’s all just relying on the power of equipment." Some admired, some hated, and naturally, some were jealous.

"San'er, is there any way you can get three century-old wild ginseng roots and bring them... bring them to Rong City without the family knowing?" Li Peiying asked.

Geli could slice a person's finger with a leaf, and he hadn't even had the chance to see how he channeled his true energy. This kind of technique—not to mention a Divine Ninja, even the father of a Divine Ninja couldn't achieve it.

Come to think of it, one couldn't blame those people for not stopping her; Caiwei held a transcendental status in the Panda Legion. If she wanted to go out, truly no one dared to stop her, and he had never instructed them to keep a close watch on her anyway.
