As for Sheng Xiyang, she had even gone to visit Ye Hanxin in person to get a clear answer. She waited for several shichen without seeing Ye Hanxin, only to hear that he was unwell and his condition had worsened, leaving him unable to get out of bed for the time being.

Most importantly, she was a little afraid of running into Zhao Zhi. Just seeing him left her body like a fish out of water. If Wanyan Liang and the others saw her like this, she could imagine what they would think—and what they might do to Zhao Zhi.

Wanyan Liang called out a warning, "Zhao Yun." What did she think she was doing? Jian Wei thought he seemed to be calling her, but the name Zhao Yun was completely unfamiliar.

When Xiang Zixi appeared, the noisy tavern fell utterly silent. Everyone's gaze instantly settled on her.

Xia Xiaoxiao turned her face away. Who was so narcissistic? She only dared to grumble inwardly, though, and couldn't say it aloud, because it seemed she really was even more infatuated with him now. Because this man was so genuine, because his love for her overflowed.

"You did that just to get a grain of rice off me?" Xia Xiaoxiao asked mournfully, her tone full of resentment and displeasure.

By the rules, everyone else had to clear out and return to their rooms. They weren't allowed outside until dawn the next day.

Qiu Ju helped her take off her outer clothes, then was about to leave. Ye Junyi wouldn't let them attend to her bath. She wasn't used to having people see her naked, and Qiu Ju knew her rules.

As she spoke, she had already jumped down from the ox cart. Lou Zhengming opened his mouth, his face reddening, but said nothing. He simply watched Ye Junyi follow Hua Gu and the others into the shop.

Just as she reached a corner, a large hand suddenly shot out from it and yanked her over. Her heart trembled, and she was about to scream when the person clamped a second hand over her mouth and dragged her into the alley around the corner.

His gaze wasn't fixed there; Mo Xiao's eyes remained on Gui Gui, far in the distance.

Everyone continued ushering Jia Mu farther inside. Tan Chun deliberately lagged behind, then walked over to Jia Qing and asked him.

With a whoosh, Tang Ming's Puppet-Control Talisman flew farther than the one he had launched several seconds earlier, striking both incoming talismans from the opposite side at once.

Although the peak stood tall, compared with the Wanxing Tower's tens of thousands of meters, Nasus, the Desert Death, reached only this height even after his R skill's boost.

The fish opened its mouth, revealing two rows of sharp teeth. Its lantern-sized eyes brimmed with bloodlust, and its entire body exuded a murky, bloody stench.

In Tang Ming's view, there was another reason as well: the densities and compositions of immortal and demonic blood were different. They could never fuse with each other, only remain forever separate and forever opposed.

Yu Li's mind reeled, and he nearly lost his footing, but he still refused to give up. Gritting his teeth, he placed a white stone.

A disheveled hunter drinking wine watched the young man turning in a quest nearby, then spoke to the fellow beside him, who carried a faint scent of Peach Fur Beast.

Tang Ming controlled his Puppet-Control Talisman. After breaking through the other side's talismans, he didn't stop. He pressed straight ahead, aiming to hit the two of them and bind them.

A bolt of thunder split the clear sky with a deafening boom. In the heavy clouds overhead, five purple thunder dragons rolled and tumbled.

"Hey, why do I feel like something's getting restless?" Vignali grinned mischievously, while Yi Yang swallowed.

"How do you know how to make this?" The instant noodles tasted surprisingly good, and Ye Li was a little puzzled. How had Qin Lang learned to make them?

Hearing him, Zhao Kongqing felt uneasy. If there was something wrong with this enhancement potion, he could very well go insane.

"Six minutes left. Let's keep chasing!" Seeing that Westbrook seemed a little down, Durant walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

Graeme Academy, also known as the United Academy, was the finest academy, founded and managed jointly by the four kingdoms.

"You came here just to tell me why, didn't you? Go on." Ye Li was already quite calm. She felt she had heard too much bad news in this life to care about one or two more pieces.

After Yi Yang's dunk, the whole sea of blue seemed to surge. The opposing team was on the verge of tying the score, but Yi Yang's sudden appearance changed everything.

A debt must be repaid. With complicated motives driving him, Yi Yang stepped onto the court once more, urged on by the electronic buzzer.

"Ow! You charlatans make your living running your mouths, don't you?" Bai Ling taunted.

Yi Qing had been in love with the man from her previous relationship for three years. In the end, he married someone else. That relationship took her another three years to recover from, and even now, after all that time, she still couldn't forget the man she had loved for three years.

After saying all this, Liu Li couldn't help thinking of the person whose face resembled Tao Chengya's.

With her sunglasses gone, Zhou Tianxue blinked, her long lashes casting shadows across her face... She licked her sensuous red lips and spoke.

"Boss, we'll start setting it up now!" another group of technicians said to Zhang Fan.

"Don't worry. I promise you'll be able to use the basketball court before the event begins," Liu Genshan assured Zhang Fan confidently.

Lately, reporters had been following him around, hoping to ask about Chen Ting. After all, no news about him had come out since he was injured.

Chen Baoli and the others found Li Quan and Ye Tiansheng and asked them to lead the way up the mountain. They didn't expect them to work for free; they offered a hundred yuan in payment.
