At the residence of the Second Imperial Prince in the capital, Feng Yi gazed pitifully at the person across from him. “Cousin, I have been so exhausted lately trying to ensure that our first bank opens smoothly before the end of the month that I have lost an entire circle of weight.”

“Guards, lock this insolent commoner in the cell beside the man who desecrated the princess last time. Let him experience firsthand what becomes of those who insult the princess!” Bao Ping’an declared righteously.

Mo Dong’er dragged the half-dead Madam An all the way to the sewage pit, then kicked her in.

Sima Zhongru, standing nearby, was just about to speak when he met Luo Honglian’s gaze. He immediately lowered his head and fell silent.

“Nangong Yu, could you lend me some money?” Yue Yao asked Nangong Yu as she stirred the coffee in her cup with a spoon.

The Azure Serpent gazed deeply at Nangong Yu, as though seeking to etch his face forever into her heart. Then she handed him a box.

The House of Brokers was, in effect, the largest agency in the capital. The moment Lin Meili entered, she was received with great enthusiasm. She thought to herself, “The proprietor certainly knows how to do business.”

The moment he thought of that madman Ling Ran, his hand began to tremble even more. That lunatic who cared nothing for his own life would absolutely take his.

Wu Hao shook his head with a sigh. The memories in his mind revealed the former grievances between him and Kui.

Ning Xiang instinctively looked up, only to find Su Jingchen crouched secretly on a tree branch again, grinning at her.

At that moment, Zhongli Canye himself did not realize that the guilt and pain in his heart did not stem from remorse toward Manwu. Rather, an inexplicable love had already taken root within him and was gradually flourishing. He simply remained unaware of it.

After the four had gone far away, Harry glanced at the people waiting to be robbed. He spoke as though to himself, yet loudly enough for everyone to hear: “Anyone can see they’re all paupers. What’s the point of robbing them? We’d better go find some plump sheep.”

With that, Harry turned and leapt away, vanishing from everyone’s sight.

With a clang like steel being severed, Yang Tian’s vision went black. In the space of a single encounter, he was killed by the mech pilot inside the No. 3 battle mecha.

“Boom!”

Ling Yun felt as though a thunderbolt had exploded inside his mind. Four late-stage Nascent Soul spirits clung fiercely to him, tearing and biting at him savagely. Although they had been without physical bodies for a hundred thousand years and were far weaker than they had been in their prime, the environment in which they had survived had kept them constantly tempered through combat and slaughter. Their attacks were extraordinarily powerful.

“The Emperor dotes on me like this all the time. Sooner or later, he’ll spoil me rotten,” Cang Li said with a pout.

“Worldly, what do you mean? What should we do now?” the King of the Gods asked anxiously.

He understood that there were only two possibilities. Either they had to seize Dreamclear City and utterly crush the forces of Dreamland in the decisive battle, or they had to retreat to their own territory and abandon all thought of challenging Dreamland in a final confrontation.

He let out a furious roar toward the caves in the mountain wall. A gigantic head materialized, its eyes tightly shut.

Despite knowing that close combat was not his strength, he immediately controlled another flying sword and sent it hurtling toward Yun Yang, hoping to reclaim it before Yun Yang erased the sword’s spiritual essence.

After lingering for a long while at a three-way intersection, Qingcheng decided to turn toward the Lord Returns Again Tavern. She would take shelter from the rain first and think about the rest later.

The instant his thought stirred, Gu Tongqiu felt as though his soul had been struck by lightning. The sensation was beyond description. At that moment, he would rather die than endure such torment. Yet when he tried to fight back with all his strength, he discovered that he could no longer move. His body had completely slipped beyond his control.

Without this marriage alliance with the elder clan, the Lei family would lose an important guarantee in its competition for the position of provincial governor. Lei Kuohai absolutely could not allow the plan to go to waste.

Li Sike stepped forward and embraced Payne. During this business trip, he had visibly lost a great deal of weight. It seemed he had suffered quite a bit this time.

The three of them breathed deeply of the fresh air as though they had just escaped from the jaws of death, then sprinted downstairs like the wind.

Cinderella, dressed in an old gray coat, appeared somewhat ill at ease. The beautiful clothes filling the room made her feel intensely pressured.

Just as he was about to finish Jia Xitong off once and for all, he suddenly caught a familiar scent—a scent he had searched for countless times without ever finding.

Jayne and the other three had often drunk beer while attending university. After they began traveling, their experience with alcohol became even richer. Many places had their own distinctive liquors, such as the gin of the Atlantic coast, whose flavor was exceptionally unique.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, more than a dozen spirit stones, along with intricate incantations and formation engravings, were arranged into a simple concealment formation.

Zhang Ruhua and Lin Miaosen flew to the top of the stone pillars and began channeling spiritual energy into the two pillars in the center.

Cheating detected on the part of player Payne. One qualification to enter the Rift Between Worlds has been revoked. Punishment mission forcibly initiated.

As the saying goes, when sworn enemies meet, their eyes blaze with hatred. Payne and Hao Sijia had both spotted their respective nemeses, so naturally neither was willing to let the matter rest.

The shuttle rose only a few centimeters from the ground before settling gently onto the soft grass. The engine’s low hum ceased. The scientists began gathering their luggage and the instruments they had brought with them.

These two supreme violet-tier spirit techniques were already perfectly comparable to the Lei family’s ultimate techniques. How could he not be delighted?

The path of learning and improvement is the most difficult to describe in precise detail. Wang Shui could summarize and organize the knowledge he had mastered, but even he found it difficult to determine exactly how much knowledge he gained in a single day. His growth could not be expressed as simply and directly as adding points to his attributes.

If he could not enter a state of spiritual transcendence, he would be unable to escape the suppression of the Cosmic Star Sword and would have no choice but to withstand its power with his physical body.
