Lu Xun looked up at the moon, where a hazy white veil seemed to divide the flowing river's light. He bent down to rub a handful of soil, sniffing it with his tapir-like nose, and muttered in surprise, "Why are the clouds suddenly gathering and water vapor steaming? It's clearly going to rain."

The turtles in the water had always been sensitive to rainfall, but throughout their journey, they had only encountered scorching sunlight, with even the clouds being baked into smoke.

Still, rain was always welcome.

withdrawing his attention from the weather, Lu Xun walked over to the shallows, where the shimmering moonlight vaguely reflected his solemn expression.

"How about we go enjoy some private time together? Western cuisine, cozy couple's seats everywhere, and quite peaceful," Chu Tianxiong said, casting a glance at Song Yujia.

Doing this was clearly against institutional regulations, but upon second thought, He Yuugui realized it was something bound to happen sooner or later, as long as Chu Tianxiong was properly accommodated. Therefore, he only gave Ye Shuqing a stern reprimand without correcting her actions.

The purplish Qi surged like billowing waves, sweeping towards the horizon, and the limbs hidden within that purple Qi slowly stretched outward.

He distinctly felt several eerie gazes fixed upon him, giving him the unsettling sensation of becoming someone's prey! Unfortunately, after scanning his surroundings several times, he still failed to spot the observers. Although people in the restaurant occasionally cast furtive glances his way, he could be certain none of them were the ones.

A beam of black light, measuring tens of thousands of miles in circumference and of unknown length, erupted from the depths of the dead star, piercing through the void and transmitting far into endless distant worlds.

Seeing the car drive away, Chu Tianxiong walked up to the entrance of the night club. Seeming to remember something suddenly, he hurriedly turned around, walked straight across the street, walked a short distance along the pavement, and then turned back to look at the residential building behind the night club.

Lan Youruo wore a look of anxiety, yet unable to think of any suitable solution, she could only pace around the cave entrance in circles, stomping her feet. For some reason, this indignant expression of hers appeared uniquely charming in Helian Nuo's eyes.

Glancing at Yu Han and seeing no sign of objection from him, Mi Duo motioned for him to sit on the sofa, her gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny as she looked at Ji Xiaorui. Something felt a bit off; their past relationship was basically that of mortal enemies, so why was her reaction like this upon meeting today? Besides, Yu Han had even gotten her locked up in the red-light district last time.

Regaining his footing in the distance, Cell roared and gathered energy within his hands. A massive purple energy wave formed between his palms, and with a push, the powerful shockwave blasted toward Pain.

With a clangor of steel, the millennia-long battle drew to a close. Having exhausted most of his physical strength and no longer able to sustain the bodily supplies needed for combat, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan knelt on the ground, leaning both hands upon his battle-scarred holy sword embedded in his armor. He struggled to raise his head, gazing at the demon before him with eyes that had lost none of their sharpness.

The human soldiers behind the defensive fortifications stared in stunned disbelief, their jaws dropping as they watched the distant figure continuously growing larger. Their faces were filled with utter incredulity.

Opening his eyes, Yin Feng frowned slightly. Without needing to guess, he knew the fragrance filling the room was naturally conjured by Sun Ren, who frequently tinkered with such things and had even fashioned a makeshift incense burner out of a broken jar.

Faced with the unbearable torture of hunger, human beings would still resort to consuming their own kind for sustenance. Moreover, these creatures no longer fell within the category of "humans."

Sun Zhihui hurriedly chimed in, "Team Leader Tang, this isn't your fault~ If anyone is to blame, blame me for providing inaccurate intelligence at the time, I..." As he spoke, Sun Zhihui choked up and could not finish.

Zhou Ying found her companions, and the few of them embraced and wept together. Zhang Xiaofei followed behind Zhou Ying, not knowing what to say at a moment like this.

The missile body was very long, far exceeding standard specifications, which also implied formidable lethality and exceptional flight stability.

Then, he observed his surroundings, trying to find a place to rest within the room as well. Eventually, his gaze settled on a chair. For a person like him, sleeping did not necessarily require lying down.
