23 Young Master Cao

To be honest, he truly believed that Chen Qingling was just speaking out of anger on a whim and that she would calm down soon enough. Who could have known that she would actually leave, and worse, without telling him where she was going?

Suddenly, Xia Zixuan let out a sharp cry, like a thunderclap, shattering the calm space around him. Like a stone cast into a still pond, it stirred a thousand ripples. The spiritual mist permeating the area seemed to freeze, and the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda emitted streaks of brilliance, gradually dispersing it.

She leaned tranquilly against Jing Rong’s shoulder, the summer heat seemingly dissipated by a gentle breeze. Those soft, sweet whispers reached her heart, leaving her lost in deep thought.

Clearly, Yan Luo was giving it his all. Amidst the surging demonic energy, a demonic shadow seemed to emerge and merge with the Black Underworld Spear, forging a tyrannical, heterodox spear force.

A massive bulge erupted on the water’s surface as the True Dragon Devourer broke through the waves and soared into the sky, its body glistening as if coated in a layer of oil.

In the Yang family, only those who reached the Emperor Realm were considered experts. The King Realm was at most a pillar of strength, far from being powerful within the clan.

"It’s said to be a very casual gathering. Everyone in our class was invited, and our counselor is going too, so I don't think it’s anything major," Shi Qianwei said.

"Benefactor, do you have any way to get across?" the Buddhist monk asked, feeling quite astonished himself.

Achieving the rank of Second Lieutenant brought many privileges, but contribution points were incredibly hard to come by. A low-level lord only granted twenty or thirty points, while elite monsters provided only one or two—sometimes none at all. Ordinary monsters offered no points whatsoever. Given how many lord-level monsters Lin Tian had slain, one could imagine how difficult it was to accumulate points.

Upon hearing this, Peony’s delicate face was filled with confusion. After snapping back to reality, she blinked and asked in a silly, naive way.

He had been too agitated just a moment ago and had blurted out "the old monk." Upon learning that Lou Nanduo had a reputation to uphold, he hurriedly changed his address to "Master."

However, there had been too many wounded in Liuyun City recently, and she hadn't been able to leave. Now that she had the time, it was better to depart sooner rather than later.

The fact that these soldiers still recognized him as their Emperor and were welcoming him back to the palace proved that he was still the ruler of the Dayue Empire.

Then, she asked Qin Haoyu for his WeChat again, saying she wanted to repay him in a very special way.

It was Jiang Hehai who had the experience; although she had a fiery temper, her mindset was truly resilient. Plus, she had plenty of entertainment within her own mental world, which allowed her to maintain a balanced heart and live healthily for so long.

This caused Meng Fan’s expression to gradually turn cold. Although he didn’t place much importance on the Dayue Imperial Palace, as long as he was in Dayue, it was his territory, and he would not tolerate anyone running wild.

As the one who had managed to charge up Mount Luoyan alone without being detected, Qin Qing took the initiative to lead the others down the mountain.

Having said that, she didn't wait for their reaction and walked straight out, faintly hearing someone respond with disdain.

Meng Shaohan took the ring, and with his spiritual power projected, he saw the items inside the storage ring and was instantly startled by what was hidden within.

In the distance, the green-maned lion’s voice echoed like a great bell, its imposing momentum instantly stunning the seven spider demons.

Seeing that Qin Shan was not making things difficult for him and had voluntarily offered to recuse himself, Cheng Guangnan was pleased and offered him a cigarette.

Lin Wanxuan happily agreed, and after lingering with Yang Mo in the nanny van for a while, she changed and freshened up before heading to the studio to continue the afternoon shoot.

"Only 30% completeness?" Lin Xing frowned inwardly. An undead's completeness was closely tied to its memories and strength, meaning the undead Zhuge Chunshu he had contracted possessed only 30% of the memories and power he had in life.

I first patted Song Xiaoli’s shoulder with an apologetic look, then hurriedly reached out to grab the mouse and began reviewing the surveillance footage.

Passing that alleyway, he glanced over; the white car was gone, but another white car of the same model was driving out from within.

Zhu Lingyun, who was standing nearby, stepped forward and blocked Qin Ming, reaching out to grab Qin Guoan’s arm.

After offering a few words of comfort, she left the Qin villa and returned to her car alone.

After scrolling through a few videos, sleepiness began to wash over him. Chen Che didn't force himself to stay awake; he set his phone aside and slipped into sleep mode.

Kong Yun stared blankly at the two dried corpses before him, saying nothing. It was indeed the truth; one could not be soft-hearted when dealing with such people.

From the front gate to the backyard, one had to pass through a long, narrow corridor. As soon as he entered, Lu Fei’s good mood was immediately ruined.

The two demonic beasts roared in unison. This strike had instead completely ignited their ferocity. They lunged from left and right, crashing directly into the lightning web Mo Zichen had cast, their fur instantly scorched pitch-black.

However, the fortunate thing was that, unlike previous martial arts tournaments, there were no age restrictions for entering the Yellow Springs Underground Palace. Thus, although cultivators at the peak of the Soul Refining Realm were considered "treasures," every sect and faction actually possessed quite a few of them.

Mo Zichen had already steered the Immortal Spirit Boat into the air, and nine spirit swords flew up simultaneously, their light swirling and dancing around her.

These were not the physical bodies of the Twin Corpses of Tiannan, but rather the shells left behind after they had completely exhausted their souls while practicing the Primal Demonic Arts.

After kicking him and scolding him, Ji Yunan hurriedly leaned over to check. The hospital bed shook, and the man used his hand to steady it.

At first glance, this palace did not seem very large. Overhead was a semi-circular dome engraved with stars.

Aya was slightly stunned by his use of "Mrs."; the bitterness and sweetness lingered in her heart, and her face flushed hot from being lectured. She hurriedly stood up and retreated into the kitchen.

Several days later, Dong Zhuo’s former subordinates, Li Meng and Wang Fang, threw open the gates of Chang'an. Unable to withstand the siege of tens of thousands of troops with his own strength, Lü Bu had no choice but to lead his hundred or so confidants, including Zhang Liao, to break through the encirclement and defect to Yuan Shu.
