Volume 1, Chapter 27: A Visit from the Police, A Trembling Heart

Needless to say, these were the daily preparations Bai Yujing kept to counter aphrodisiacs. He was so handsome that his greatest daily fear was being drugged by someone and subjected to unspeakable acts, which is why he kept such items in his pocket at all times.

"Get away!" Shen Tingyun lashed out in anger, her whip striking the restless spirits closing in on her. The whip cracked against the ground, dancing with agility, felling one spirit with every strike.

Sheng Yaoheng was a man of strict discipline by nature. Now, he realized that what had just occurred was more than just a lapse in management; it had crossed his bottom line.

Ye Ling’s absorption of ambient spiritual energy suddenly spiked. Xing Jiruo noticed it immediately and signaled to Wen Ruoxue. From the moment Ye Ling began his breakthrough, Wen Ruoxue had been keeping a close watch on both Ye Ling and Xing Jiruo; upon receiving the signal, she immediately activated the auxiliary formation.

Feeling his hand reach toward her, she blocked him sharply with her arm. With a loud clatter, the bowl fell to the floor, splashing soup all over him.

"Look at the first sequence: a triple toe loop-triple loop. For a skater at this level, it shouldn't be difficult," Chen Lu had just finished saying.

Such a situation naturally invited curiosity. After all, basic techniques were usually employed by cultivators in the Vein Condensation Realm. Upon entering the Foundation Establishment Realm, cultivators shifted their focus to higher-level arts, and once they reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment or neared its pinnacle, they generally practiced even more powerful legacy techniques.

"But he is following very closely." There was no denying this fact; An Ruo’s pace did not slow down in the slightest.

Su Qingge felt a bit melancholy as she listened. Gently stroking her belly, she thought about how she wanted to buy needles and thread to embroider a peace talisman for her baby. With so many colors available, how could they possibly choose the ones she found satisfactory?

Such dense demonic energy surely concealed a powerful demon. While she did not fear it herself, if she were to land with a group of legends, what would happen to the fleet?

In truth, Shen Yang let out a long sigh of relief, thinking that this dull archery competition had finally come to an end.

Analyzed from a professional standpoint, the fact that the opponent’s theory was accepted worldwide was a significant success. Even more lamentable, from a professional football perspective, the opponent’s team had helped Liverpool defeat Chelsea—which was effectively the same as defeating him.

However, the Headmaster was at the very front of the procession, followed by several epic-level mages, so they did not dare to ask.

Everyone was elite; with different equipment and levels, their ability to handle enemies naturally required them to hold their own against ten.

Zhang Liang truly did not know how to refute this reasoning. However, possessing this item made him feel that he had gained another means of confronting his foes.

In the capital of the Great Han Dynasty, a dragon-shaped thoroughfare stood, connecting the heavens and the earth. Surrounding it, dozens of heavenly paths encircled the main road like stars around the moon.

Only two figures remained now. Sensing the danger between them, they attempted to flee. But An Min and Lu Ling, having no other targets, quickly caught up and dealt with them successfully.

With a loud bang, the tightly closed door of the inn collapsed inward, revealing those inside—some trembling in fear, others pointing their swords toward them.

Far away in Country F, Elizabeth discovered that the coordinates for Li Guanghan’s location were that of a hospital, and she sensed that something terrible had happened. Sure enough, the signal disappeared shortly after.

Qin Gang also asked Qin Jian for advice regarding the performance of the third movement of the Pathétique Sonata, which he had been exploring and practicing lately.

In the temple, before the statue of the deity, incense candles were burning in a censer on the offering table, their smoke drifting through the sanctuary.

However, the visible increase in corpses made the field commanders, including Jinx, breathe a sigh of relief. The monsters were still swarming in endless waves, and the sight of the monster birds resurrecting as skeletons had been a devastating blow to morale.

One Qilin had a limp tail and only a head left—how was it supposed to dance? Watching the Qilin head drag its body and tail across the square, the onlookers doubled over with laughter.

From the live broadcast, it was clear that Bao Zhilong was just as bewildered by his victory; when the referee announced his win, his eyes were unfocused.

"Are you really planning to auction off the sarira your master gave you for protection?" Chen Tianming asked just before stopping a taxi.

The clamor of the distant streets seemed to be blocked out by the night, making the space in front of the museum feel all the more quiet.

After both had become immortals, they immediately wanted to find Feng Jiu. They submitted a request and, leading their original team, arrived at the battlefield of the Immortal Realm.

If the entire Yin-Yang Mansion were to be implicated, Liang Qiong feared he would fail the ancestors of the Liang family; he would then be a sinner of his house.

Every descendant of the Ye family possessed extraordinary strength, especially in their ability to coordinate. Ye Fan had not known them for long, but he could already tell they were accustomed to training together.

Hey, hey, this is a scam, right? This guy—could he be some terrifying person holding a dangerous profession in reality?

As expected of an ancient relic formation; even after who knows how many years, it still retained its original majesty and imposing aura.

At this moment, the six hall masters of Chen Junting’s inner halls watched the pair, speculating on how the battle would end. Yet, almost everyone believed that Mu Zixuan had to be the winner of this newcomer tournament.

Arriving at the door of the cell where Li Ye had hanged himself, they examined the surroundings by the light of a few lanterns. Although the expressions of Zhu Chen and Hu Ge remained heavy, they both breathed a slight sigh of relief. They could now confirm that, at the very least, this Physician Li had committed suicide and had not died at the hands of another.

Three days later, wisps of faint clouds drifted outside the cave dwelling. Bing Meng was overjoyed at the sight; this meant Du Zipei was finishing his advancement, and the excess energy required had drawn in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from outside the cave.

"What are the Three Flowers? Aren't the Three Flowers and Five Qis only possessed by Great Luo Golden Immortals?" the monkey asked, deeply puzzled.
