Chapter 35: You Lied to Me!

“When will your brother come back?” Wang Lili asked quietly, and even licked the corner of her lips as she spoke.

“Are you crazy, always thinking about my brother!” Zhang Miao looked at the girl with annoyance. Why couldn’t she let it go?

“Relax, I’m only attracted to his body,” Wang Lili brazenly replied, arching her brows provocatively at the girl whose eyes seemed to be ablaze.

Zhang Miao ground her teeth; if not for Zhou Shihui and Liu Lu holding her back, she would have—

Clouds seemed to surge upward, revealing a vast stretch of green woodland at the mountain’s base, while the farmland and pastures opened up in the ring’s space expanded as well.

Suddenly, the wind chimes in the shop jingled, and a cold aura swept in from the doorway, enveloping a tall, powerful figure.

While Su Banxia was away in town, the Imperial Guard had already arrived at Anyuan County, at Fengran’s home.

“Let’s go, there’s entertainment downstairs. I heard they’ve invited several popular celebrities—maybe you’ll find someone you like,” Ye Qi said calmly.

After asking her series of questions, Yi Lian clearly had no intention of waiting for Wei Chi Qianli’s answers; she simply refused to give him the chance to say no.

In the past, Tang Rao would have worried about her studies, but now, with the system, a few tasks that awarded attribute points were all she needed to instantly boost her intelligence; studying was no longer a concern.

On Su Banxia’s birthday, Xu Hongxiang brought her a dress made from the pale blue fabric gifted by the old lady, while Su Laoliu went to the town’s jewelry shop and bought her a gold bracelet.

A gentle call from Xu Yongsheng made Lu Yuling halt in her tracks, stunned and bewildered as she looked at him. Xu Yongsheng set down his teacup, rose, and came out. The maid tried to block Lu Yuling, but Xu Yongsheng’s fierce glare made her freeze in fear.

“How strange. Wasn’t Father just here? Where has he gone?” Situ Ye muttered to himself.

“Amu?” Amu paused for a moment, only to be flipped and pinned to the ground by the Lion King, who seized the opportunity to bite her.

Her knees had become numb from kneeling too long, and as her balance faltered, her face crashed directly to the ground.

“I’ve explained the mental techniques and moves of the Seven Steps of Absolute Stealth. Whether you remember or not, I’ll only say it once,” the old martial artist said seriously to Ye Tian.

Yet, faced with Wang Xiaorong’s hopeful gaze, she ultimately gave in. She had always been someone who accepted whatever came her way.

The strength of the two S-class abilities astounded Jiang Yunze, and he was grateful for making the right choice.

Ye Tian understood then: the Yellow Rank was equivalent to Qi Refining in the cultivation world; the Profound Rank corresponded to Foundation Building; the Earth Rank to Virtual Pill; the Sky Rank to Core Formation. If that was the case, did this world not have a Nascent Soul stage? Ye Tian mused in confusion.

No sooner had they finished thanking someone than their heads turned in unison, hearing hurried footsteps approaching from nearby.

When two cultivators who hadn’t joined the treasure hunt saw Chen Yuan fleeing from another direction, it confirmed their suspicions.

Mu Divine Sword’s battle experience was extensive. Knowing he couldn’t shake the temple alone, he scanned his surroundings, suddenly withdrew his sword, and darted rapidly to his left.

Before he could get close, he was kicked into a corner; his back slammed hard against the wall, leaving him dazed and slumped on the floor, unable to stand.

Turning around, he saw the child they had met when first entering Chen Family Village—no more than five or six years old, wearing clothes patched together by adults.

In a short time, the divine might he displayed and the overwhelming pressure, like the Five Sacred Mountains pressing down, were real and tangible, entirely different from the false Yan Feng who had been surrounded and fled in disgrace days before. Most terrifying of all, Yan Ze seemed utterly unperturbed by Kong Yizhu’s sudden surge in strength.
