55 Gifted

Chacha’s mouth instantly turned downward. Did she fail to check the almanac before going out today? What on earth was this troublemaker doing here?

After Biqing led Tang Xin far away from the mountain radiating a cyan-green divine light, she stopped and said to Tang Xin.

After taking a bath, Su Mianmian curled up in her crib. Perhaps because she was too tired today, she fell asleep in no time at all.

When Qiongqi was still just a spirit beast, Chacha had brought her back and raised her. On Mount Fuxi, the Emperor was unpredictable, Taoyao was enchanting, mature, and charming, and Qiongqi would always go against her. The only one close to her age was Taowu, who could be considered a good friend.

Muttering inwardly, Qin Zheng helped Bai Xian to the balcony. Wherever his gaze fell, the world was reduced to a palette of stark black and white.

During the start of the semester, vehicles were not allowed on campus, so Qin Zheng parked the car at the school gates and walked with Chacha to complete the enrollment procedures.

The Emperor handed the token used to bind the covert guards to the very last surviving guard, waiting only for him to issue the decree of succession. With that token, the guard would summon the twenty-one new covert guards destined to serve the next emperor.

Qinghe walked over to the bed, tossed Yunbai—who was still lingering affectionately in his arms—onto the mattress, and said, "To celebrate, let's finish what we left undone on the beach!"

Then the group hurried toward the backyard. The nine young masters exchanged glances before following closely behind them.

After more than half a year of repairs, the Qi State palace had almost recovered its former appearance. Only a few details remained unrestored due to financial constraints, but on the whole, there were no major issues.

Yan Le's intelligence was much higher now than it had been in the past. He could feel that his memory had reached a near-photographic level, which was immensely helpful for acquiring knowledge, and a strong desire to learn ignited within him.

Although the GT project had been halted, that was merely a superficial gesture. Something so powerful could almost be called heaven-defying; if you didn't study it, others certainly would.

The two dined elegantly, yet the atmosphere between them slowly shifted as the hands of the clock ticked forward.

Due to the scarcity of blood, these figures composed of bloody water appeared flattened despite taking on human shapes, looking just like paintings come to life. Although they possessed only general human silhouettes, their facial features faintly revealed that these blood-figures were precisely the ten individuals who had perished in this chess game.

This was because since Xinglian opened its doors, fewer than two hundred VIP cards had ever been issued.

Just as he had promised, Yan Shengqing visited the elderly Liu Tailin. Master Liu's mental state was exceptionally good, and everyone finally understood what surprise the old man had been hinting at.

The young man nodded, accepted the items, glanced through them briefly, stuffed them into a nylon backpack, zipped it up, and slung it over his shoulder.

AC Milan certainly never expected that not only would Manchester United's outfield players perform exceptionally well, but their goalkeeper, Tim Howard, would also be in stellar form. AC Milan managed a couple of rare shots on goal, but Howard steadily guarded the net, leaving them completely helpless.

However, a few years later, Emperor Kangxi suddenly recalled the matter and wondered how the heavily funded defensive fortress was currently faring. He dispatched an imperial commissioner to inspect it. Upon returning, the commissioner dared not conceal the truth and had no choice but to report the situation as it actually was.

Yan Le initially declined, but Lü Chengjin persisted in his invitation. Yan Le glanced at Zhang Youtian and Liu Xingcheng and, seeing them merely smiling without expressing any refusal, realized they were waiting to see his stance, so he agreed.

Because Feng Bao exercised flawless control over the Brocade Guard, and Liu Shouyou, the commander overseeing the guard, ran about like a servant, even though Feng Bao had deeply detested Yu Maoxue previously, he had only dispatched the Brocade Guard to block his doors.

He knew it was Bai Zhi who had saved him just moments ago. The warmth emanating from her soul constantly scorched his last remnants of reason, while the phrase "To be able to meet you in this lifetime means I have not lived in vain" repeatedly extinguished the flames of his sorrow. He swore that he had never experienced such inner turmoil in his entire life.

Seeing that Zuo Shaoyang refused to stay, the chieftain pressed the matter no further. Instead, he laughed heartily and urged everyone to drink, offering toasts not only to Zuo Shaoyang but also to Dalong Xin and the others, including the fifteen bodyguards.

Emerging from obscurity, the members of the Tang family initially paid no mind to Qin Long and his companions. But the instant Zuo Long instantly annihilated an elder at the Immortal Monarch realm, all the Tang family elders in the grand hall were seized by terror, shock clearly visible in their eyes.

Zhang Xu’s eyes brightened. He uttered a soft murmur, took a few slow steps forward, and savored the sensation carefully, though the heavy, solemn expression on his face did not lighten in the slightest.

Shi Sheng and the others were unaware of what had happened and continued fighting fiercely against the disciples of Wugu Mountain; even the various elders remained oblivious to the events unfolding in the distance.

"It is said that the Tianshan Sect and the Sun family have been eyeing you covetously all this time, hehe!" The Old Demon of Ten Thousand Poisons curved his lips into a smile. Shi Sheng felt a stir in his heart—if he were to prioritize the bigger picture, it truly would not be easy to trade blows with them.

The further forward he went, the more bizarre the surroundings felt. Before long, Shi Sheng discovered an increasing number of corpses ahead, belonging to humans, demons, and fierce beasts alike. The ground was pitch-black, as if scorched and melted by intense flames, and all vegetation had long since turned to ash.
