The red spirit body was still unwilling to be captured. It released a cloud of red mist that spread toward Tianxing, enveloping his whole body.

Ai Baoguo said, "You've never watched Animal World, have you? The law of nature—what facts, what reasons? The strong rule. That's reason enough. When you're strong, even your arguments carry more weight."

He sent another text: I love you! Still, there was no reply. He tossed and turned like that for half the night, until his brain felt ready to split apart.

A sudden burst of green light flared from Tianxing's right hand, which gripped the staff, and traveled along its length. He bent the Spirit-Attracting Staff with all his might, then used its spring to thrust it forward. With a soft pfft, he seized the staff by its tail and drove its head viciously into the man's mouth.

At such a sensitive moment, Jiaxuan Moyan had suddenly come charging in with murderous intent. He still hadn't gotten over Luoyu, and meant to snatch her away while Yun Shitian's restriction was acting up.

The sun and moon had already joined, but the seal on the Demon-Locking Pagoda still showed no signs of abnormality. That let him breathe a temporary sigh of relief. He had caught a glimpse of the sun and moon joining when lightning split the sky and lit up the land.

Even when he didn't understand, he would argue stubbornly and resist in silence. Rather than admit his mistakes, he would simply walk away. Things were different now. He, Li Ming, was eating from Boss Ma's bowl, and he had no one to back him up. Could he afford not to listen?

Di Xinyan said, "That's true. I really do like Ji Tian. I've seen so many men, but Ji Tian is the most handsome. The man I, Di Xinyan, marry can't be inferior to my father, and his cultivation can't be too far behind my Feng Wu's. Ji Tian fits the bill perfectly."

"Th-then, is there really an antidote for the Corpse Turtle?" Zhao Zong asked uncertainly. He understood Gu worms, but he was completely unfamiliar with treating poison.

The nine-palace lock was a web of interlocking rings that couldn't be undone. But there was another way, the most direct and brutal solution of all: split it in two with a single stroke, and it was unlocked.

At that moment, only a few people were in the River-Viewing Tower. Most had gone to the venue to join the excitement.

Zhong Wusheng, who had learned the hard way once already, neither dodged nor blocked. He stepped forward with his left foot turned inward, then followed with his right. One step and one push: it looked as though he'd advanced a full pace, but he'd only moved half a step. The force of the second half stopped dead, making his body shudder. At the same time, he twisted his right fist inward and launched it from the center of his torso, aiming straight for his opponent's centerline.

Tian Yan's gaze swept over the burly, bearded man with a dog's head. Then he glanced at the human camp and saw an old man with a dog's head as well. He couldn't help but look surprised.

Tian Yan's eyes fluttered open as he woke from sleep. The dream had felt so real that he'd nearly lost himself in it.

But to powerful, evil monsters, White Fox's behavior was utterly contrary to the demonic path—absurd and laughable. On top of that, the monsters he had enslaved had all escaped to Qingqiu Du. Enraged, he had come to Qingqiu Du to seek revenge on White Fox.

So Yongqing knew full well that refining the gods defied heaven's will and would bring Langfeng utter disaster, yet he'd rather serve as Hao Feng's lackey, running himself ragged for him. Back then, he'd believed his goal was finally within reach.

"Old Wangye and the Xiahou Clan Chief went to the military camp before the Prince left the city." Xi Lin turned and told Yun Qianmeng what he knew. Then, after bowing, he left to handle the matters Yun Qianmeng had assigned him.

As soon as Tian Yan entered the Bitter Cultivation Pool, he was enveloped by a vast expanse of gray haze. These were all rules—the rules of bitter cultivation.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. As long as you're not angry, I swear I'll comfort you however you want!" Wuhen deliberately drew out the last sentence, and with his suggestive brows, he gave it an unmistakably different flavor.

"It's okay even if we can't evolve into a complete form," Palmon added, picking up where Kabuterimon left off.

Dou Wei was lost in thought when he felt a chill run down his back. Then he saw a massive fist growing larger and larger right before his eyes.

Magpie had almost no real combat experience. Counting from the first day he could remember, he'd only been around for a few months. But in a situation like this, experience didn't matter much. From the very beginning, Magpie had possessed a complete personality, keen analytical skills, and an instinct honed by constant slaughter.

Gripping the Greenedge Sword beside the bed, Zhou Tong's hands trembled slightly, but his eyes held a gravity unlike anything before.

He gripped Qingfeng, which was propped beside the bed, tightly in both hands. They trembled slightly, but Zhou Tong's eyes held a gravity he'd never shown before.

Ji Meina didn't care anymore and kept eating. Just like that, taking one bite after another, the two of them finished off the beef skewers, looking every bit like a loving couple.

Since things were already settled, Dumbledore stopped dwelling on them and started cleaning up the aftermath.

With that, Crouch hurried out of Hogwarts—as if a Dementor were chasing him.

Han Ge wasn't surprised, because he'd known all along that if they used Lin Jingxian, someone would exploit the situation to smear them. It had only been a matter of time.

Building affordable housing for those in need would gradually ease the Wizards' housing shortage and steadily improve their living conditions. It would guide consumption in the right direction and turn housing into a commodity, with the ultimate aim of solving every Wizard's housing problems and raising their standard of living.

Seeing that the call was from Lin Lihui, he immediately gave Fang Shilong an apologetic look, then cheerfully answered the phone.

In a place beyond his sight, gray mist began to gather and take the shape of a hand, which came to rest atop his head.

The pressure from the Gao Family had made Song Bing feel a little more eager to complete his next act of merit.

As he spoke, he really did step forward and kick Qin Mozhou's spirit body several times. Unfortunately, his feet passed straight through it.

After a fierce inner struggle, Gu Nanyan finally chose to take out the Primordial Spirit Pill and save everyone from the flames.
