Chapter 13

Night Qingqing’s spiritual power swept outward, but there was only darkness. She curled her lips and stepped forward.

Her destination was a restaurant in the heart of City A. Before entering, she considered putting on sunglasses and a mask, but then, for some reason, abandoned the idea.

Suddenly, the sound of shattering cups came from behind, pulling the agitated Nangong Qu back. He frowned displeased, then released Zhuhan’s lips and drew her into his embrace, casting a cold glance at the culprit.

Entering from the thatched hut, the first things visible were the common straw and clay. Yet, once inside a secret passage, the scene was completely different from the outside.

“Look at me, and I’ll let go. Otherwise, I’ll hold on like this forever,” Xiao Yufeng said with an air of command.

After opening the kitchen, Lin Jinyu brought a toy for her sons to play with. Seeing their joy, she turned to prepare the meal.

However, halfway to school, Xiao Qin called her for help, saying her mood was low, she hadn’t eaten breakfast, and likely had no appetite for lunch either.

“Fortunately, our old code only included the word ‘yes,’ not ‘no.’ Otherwise, one finger or two fingers raised could both mean no, making it truly hard to tell apart,” said the man with brown hands.

Zhuhan felt much better after meeting Chu Yi. She felt at ease; after all, Chu Yi had treated her kindly, and things were fine as they were now.

Tie Jin Jue was lost in thought about tribal matters, sitting silently without speaking to Li Ping Run.

Liao Wanyi lowered her gaze, staring at the cup of red tea in her hand, surprised that the two of them had known each other long ago.

At that moment, Jian held a dagger crackling with thunderlight, while Zhou Sheng’s body was covered in dragon scales, a holy dragon pattern swirling around him.

Some disciples speculated that Elder Wan was assessing whether the spirit lions in the semi-evil zone of Wuchang Mountain could withstand the challenge. After all, these beasts had once wreaked havoc on the cultivation world. Even with half their power stripped away by the Supreme, they remained terrifyingly fierce.

What was this about raising the White Tiger’s cultivation by two ranks? What did that mean? Where did the White Tiger come from? Why raise its cultivation? And what rank did it become afterward?

With a swift rush, someone dove and knelt before Qingzhu, crying out for her life.

He had failed once again. That year marked the first time Korean professional players made a mark in the global League of Legends tournaments.

When I awoke, unsurprisingly, I saw Xue Yuqing, but Tang Likkek was nowhere to be found.

When King Rui prepared to perform a ritual, he noticed black smoke rising from the heads and eyes of the ghosts. Before he could speak, Jifeng broke the silence.

Incredibly, after losing to the FA team, SS quickly secured a clean three-game winning streak, knocking FA off their perch without giving them a chance. Throughout these matches, Li Haolin’s performance was near perfect, generating countless highlight-worthy plays.

Due to similar reasons, the assassin group also lost contact. Zhang Yi pondered whether the string of events stemmed from a conspiracy or simply equipment issues.

“The thieves have split into two groups for sure. Qing’er must be with one of them. I believe they will exit through Wuguan Pass, naturally choosing the mountain path to the southeast!” Zuo Qing argued heatedly with Qin Meng, cheeks flushed.

Now Chu Fengmian had stepped into the realm of the Eight Tribulations Ancient Emperor, his strength indistinguishable from that of the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor.

Feelings were nonsense. Neither Zhou Laixiu nor Zhu Wen intended to live together. So, when Zhou Laixiu faced her situation, Zhu Wen, after a moment of shock, was overjoyed.

All signs indicated a fierce battle had taken place there. Tianchen’s heart grew cautious. He silently withdrew his energy and applied the Illusory Moth’s concealment technique to quietly avoid the area.

Yet now, all the disciples of the Azure Alliance had gathered here, seemingly studying something.

The bones of the Divine Elephant represented only that lineage, and besides them, there should be five keys as well.

As soon as Ma Yunlu entered, he saw Zhang Yi and felt uneasy. But upon seeing Zhang Yi’s gentle gaze, his anger quickly subsided.

Despite many instructions, Zhang Yi’s life was particularly monotonous as a native farmer—a true homebody, who had never witnessed the darkest sides of the world.

When the golden dragon turned back, the white ape tried to teleport again, but the sword energy striking him suddenly emitted several resonant hums. Several beams of sword energy penetrated the white ape’s body, causing a shock that temporarily disrupted his breath and halted the flow of his spiritual power.

“Wretch, wretch, wretch. Shameless wretch,” Xuan Lengning spat, pointing at Xuan Yu, who sat calmly in a chair. She cursed through gritted teeth, her words harsh and unpleasant. Her flashy attire and youthful beauty stood in stark contrast to her venomous tongue.

“Master! I’m so glad you’re alright,” Song Yuanqiao said joyfully, looking at Zhang Sanfeng.

Upon seeing Lei Hu, he immediately began to sneer coldly. Mo Mo ignored him and kept smiling.

The others in the forest turned their gaze to Ye Feng, clearly wanting to hear his explanation.

Only then did he realize that, up close, Song Bo’s features resembled Mo Yu’s strikingly, especially their eyes—both bright yet tinged with melancholy.

“You’re right. Aren’t you curious why we called you here?” Zhou Muyu said, surprised by Li Yumei’s sharp tongue. Obviously, last night’s confinement had little effect on her.

Here, Muchen and Xuewang chatted cheerfully. There, Bai Yan’s eyes glinted fiercely. Elsewhere, Mo Hua’s gaze grew colder as he watched their closeness, his aura chilling further.

“You can imagine everyone sleeping beside you—except my sister.” This wretched, filthy creature was secretly fantasizing about my sister—shameless.

Then there was this morning’s breakfast, with the considerate Ye Kaicheng. Although they were now dating, it was just for show. Yet Ye Kaicheng showed no hint of inner conflict. Xu Zuoyan grew increasingly suspicious, wondering if Ye Kaicheng had already turned because of him.

Ye Kaicheng glanced at Xu Zuoyan’s pale legs, then raised his eyes to Xu’s smooth back.

After Li Quan finished his task, Long Qing, who had come to assist him, returned and whispered a few words into Ding San’s ear. Afterwards, Ding San gave Li Quan a strange look.
