Volume 1, Chapter 53: Fu Xiaolian Gets Humbled

Two different medicinal ingredients, scattered across the ends of the earth—how easy could it be to find them? Moreover, the final ingredient, the Dragon Dan, posed an even greater challenge to the limits, making it an almost impossible mission.

Suddenly, she had a strong impulse to simply flick her sleeves and leave, seeking a quiet place to clear her thoughts, sort out her strategy, and devise a plan to make Chen Xinghai love only her, yet she feared displeasing the man residing deep within her heart.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the media reporters swiftly turned their lenses toward Ye Bai, and blinding flashes continuously illuminated both Ye Bai and Yu Man.

Seeing how Father Wang disparaged and opposed him, a surge of anger rose within Chen Xinghai, and he made a motion as if to leave.

Yet he was instantly struck dumb with astonishment by the sight before him! More than a hundred cultivators in the woodland outside the immortal cave were all standing upside down on the ground, their eyes staring fixedly at the earth without a single blink. Scattered among them were countless birds and beasts, who, just like the cultivators, stood on their heads with their eyes glaring straight at the ground.

"Let's do it this way then: if I lose, I will give you one hundred million; if you lose, I must return the kick you just gave me, and to prevent you from going around swindling people and throwing your weight around again, I will sever the tendons in your hands and feet. How about that?" Yu Hui proposed.

Although everyone knew this was because Lang Hongxiang's injuries had stabilized, and with his recovered combat prowess combined with a purple-robed youth, they were entirely unworthy of their intervention—not to mention the risk of ultimately offending a powerful faction like the Howling Moon Valley.

"If your appetite weren't so small right now, I reckon you could easily eat several times as much." Cecia had no doubt about Qiu Xuan's appetite, just as she had no doubt about Qiu Xuan's strength.

None of the three, Buster, wanted to fight Qiu Xuan, but Cooper was the son of the commander of the City Guards, and their fathers all had to rely on Cooper for a living; hence, even if they didn't want to step up, they had no choice.

"You..." Han Xiao was furious to the extreme, raising his right palm once again, intending to strike down. Yet upon seeing her fearless expression and those bright eyes gazing fixedly at him, how could he possibly bring himself to strike?

The moon sat atop the tree branch, quietly gazing at the embraced figures inside the bridal chamber, shyly burying its face in the clouds.

In the three hundred and seventieth year of the Hongli era, the Overlord of the Southern Origin came out of seclusion and unified the Southern Border Demonic Realm. Overnight, the realm underwent a thorough purge and reorganization, battles on all four sides ceased, peace prevailed across the land, and song and dance filled the days.

"Quite impressive. Indeed, you are different from them." Kakashi acknowledged Sasuke with a touch of genuine seriousness in his heart.

Zang Ba merely blocked Shan Xiongxin's single halberd strike to realize that this man's strength was definitely superior to his own. Although Zang Ba usually relied on sheer force to win his victories, he refused to show weakness and continued to fight fiercely against Shan Xiongxin.

Outside the secret realm, Dean Hao looked at the now-empty plaza below, a meaningful smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

These words were spoken by Megumi Kato. Looking at Megumi Kato's calm face, Yile twitched the corner of his mouth and remained silent.

Then, his gaze sharpened, and he kicked toward Li Yuyun. Seeing this, Li Yuyun spun her body, dodging Dou Yi's kick.

However, this was a life-and-death battle now; no one would care whether your cultivation realms were matched. Only the victor would survive.

Shang Shitu gave Wang Bodang a look, seemingly asking for instructions on whether they should still make a move.

Though he had never tasted horse feed, he imagined it must have much the same texture as this flatbread.

Facing these three questions, Shi Dafeng was utterly speechless. A heavy pressure gripped his chest, and another mouthful of old blood gushed out.

Bai Shan's body possessed the thunder attribute, and he also had lightning-path Gu worms within his aperture, allowing his fists to faintly spark with lightning sword qi with every strike. Indeed, under this continuous consumption, the black water illusion was largely vaporized and dissipated by the lightning.

For a moment, the core elders who had just been scared out of their wits once again displayed arrogant and triumphant expressions.

"District 11" was a secret base of the laboratory. Unless one was accepted by their inner circle, it was clearly impossible to gain entry. The fact that Yuriko Kyoka had the opportunity to enter proved at least that she was regarded as "one of our own," enabling her to enter and gain access to the virus samples inside.

In an instant, Qin Tian, who had previously drawn no attention whatsoever, suddenly became the focal point. Yet he himself had no idea what she wanted to eat, especially since he hadn't brought any food along.

Even falling naked and with nothing into that desert would have been better than suffering such agonizing torment.

Now they could only hope to arrive in Luoyang soon, while secretly resolving to take good care of this pitiful Emperor of Han in the future.

Seeing Huang Tong leave, Du Feng smiled faintly. It wasn't that he lacked chivalry or sympathy for the fairer sex, but rather that the task he had to undertake was far too dangerous and unsuitable for traveling companions.

In an instant, the forty-some martial masters fell silent, and for a long time, no one answered. Almost none of the people present knew this so-called Zhang Tianhao, considering everyone had only known each other for a single day.

To Xiao Qi's astonishment, this truly was a golden arena, where everything was made of pure gold.

A single wedding made Jian Su's background clear to countless people; even those who had an ordinary or distant relationship with her suddenly grew a few degrees closer.

"Don't rush, there are still a few days left, and that place will be ready. Once it's prepared, you're dead meat," the Great Spirit Doutian laughed before departing, leaving Bai Yue behind to hurl abuses at will.

He listened with utmost earnestness, his expression thoroughly focused. He nodded continuously throughout the process, and though the occasional questions he raised were rather foundational, they were nonetheless of high caliber—all directly relevant and hitting upon the core issues.

"Who are you? Why... do you want to kill me?" Yahweh endured the intense pain radiating from his body, turning his head halfway with difficulty to look at the strange man, who was none other than Xuanyuan Hongfei.

Therefore, when these filthy and ugly things were once again laid out so bluntly before her, she found it utterly unbearable, as if the safe tortoise shell she had cowered inside had been ruthlessly smashed open, causing her entire world to collapse.

Song Yixing did not seem insistent on entering. After saying something to Ziling outside, he departed. Wenyu curled up on the brocade couch and listened for a while, and upon confirming that he had truly left, she summoned Ziling and had her clear away the bathing tub.

"Did you tell them? Do you need everyone to know about this? After all, this is a matter between you and me." Su Ye felt her scalp tingle as the reports rolled in like waves; she had always been terrified of these things.
