Chapter 48 A Knowing Smile

"What secret realms did you all get? Are they the same? Mine was the Ice and Fire Trial, a true test of freezing cold and blazing heat!"

"Mine was the Primeval Ancient Elephant Trial. What about yours? Oh, the same."

"After coming out, I feel my comprehension of ice-attribute cultivation techniques has deepened." "Me too, but mine was the fire attribute."

……

......

Bizarrely, however, a dozen or so strangers stood quietly beside Xiao Wutian, watching as Xiao Longwu ascended into the air.

Zhangyang Village was not far from Xiping Village, so Ma Chuntao knew quite well what kind of person Wang Youcai was. Coupled with her secret crush on Xia Jian—who happened to be on bad terms with Wang Youcai—Ma Chuntao naturally held a strong aversion toward the man.

When Xuanyuan Ao said this, he deliberately raised his volume. He enunciated the three words "vixen" with particular sharpness, as if terrified that others might not hear him.

"What romantic debts? I have no such thing!" As he spoke, Mu Tiankuang reached out to pull Liyan onto his lap.

These candied haws from the Li family shop were exceptionally delicious. They used to have a branch in Pengcheng, and their chain stalls had even expanded all the way to the capital, showing just how famous they were.

Even if this stone chamber were not in danger of collapsing, it would likely not hold everyone for very much longer. Yet at this moment, everyone was so captivated by the treasure before them that they temporarily forgot the impending crisis about to erupt.

Tong'er did not move. Suddenly, her mouth widened wider and wider toward Uncle Xu, sticking out her tongue. From the tip of her deep red tongue emerged a row of sharp, densely packed, steel-needle-like teeth.

While saying "No," I opened Gaode Maps, searched for Pingchuan, and selected walking directions. The map repeatedly prompted that the destination was too far away and recommended taking a taxi.

Within the Tianyan Sect, Sima Kong commanded formidable awe and deterrence because his strength was far greater than Uncle Fu's. Moreover, as one of the founders of the Tianyan Sect, everyone in the sect showed him the utmost respect upon seeing him.

"Alright, cultivate here. When the time comes, I will naturally call you out!" Having said this, Qin Shan vanished from before Li Jiang.

For a mad god to perish, going to such lengths and casting aside his very life—only a madman could invent such body-art.

He truly released the [Weave] skill, and a white web flew into the empty space in front of him.

The white cat paid no heed to Ling Jiang's cries. After effortlessly swallowing one fragment, it opened its mouth to bite down on the second. In the blink of an eye, all four fragments were swallowed into its belly. At that moment, Ling Jiang grew somewhat worried, terrified that something might happen to the white cat.

The effect of the elixir of immortality was enduring. Looking at the soft warmth held in his arms, a natural desire for conquest arose within him. Thus, Du Chunfeng naturally continued his passionate entanglement with Lady Nara.

With a gunshot wound to his leg, a broken arm, and two fractured ribs, he would have to lie in the hospital for at least three months.

Cang Lang walked out to the balcony, gazing at the golden sun, the clouds rendered incomparably brilliant by the sunlight.

Cao Wei shook his head, stepped forward, picked up a goblet from the bar, poured a glass of red wine, and took a small sip.

Night Eleven instinctively stroked the right side of his face, terrified that he, like the Ghost King Huanhuan, would be left with only half a face.

Deciding she didn't want to see him, she truly refused to see him. With a shift in momentum, Su Monuan closed her eyes, turned her back directly, and ignored him.

"Is this Skypiercing Cliff?" Mo Lin asked in great shock. Skypiercing Cliff was the very lair of the Crimson Dragon, rumored to be the center of the continent and standing a full ten thousand meters tall. The Crimson Dragon resided at the very summit of Skypiercing Cliff.

A world-renowned AD carry was thus instantly killed, while Du Xiaoyu survived.

After showing the guard the waist pendant worn by ordinary disciples, Gu Yan slowly walked inside.

From the conversation among these few, Gu Yan understood. It turned out these people were not specially invited by Situ Yi, but had come uninvited. Yet what scheme were they plotting? Situ Yi's goal was the Nine-Lotus Flower inside; he surely would not casually leak information about such a treasure, and the people of the Zhang family ought not to know either.

Following him, dimly remembering making three turns, passing through three dog-hole-like side gates, and crawling for a long time, we finally caught sight of the tomb door of the main hall.

"Yang Li, why did you chase me?" Mo Lin asked indifferently. On the cliff that day, if not for the knife Yang Li had stabbed into him, he would not have fallen, and Luo Qianqian's hair would not have turned white overnight. Every time he thought of this, Mo Lin wondered whether he should have saved Yang Li in the first place.

"The Liu family withdraws!!!" After a long while, Liu Feng uttered these insincere words. Old Guo and the others wore expressions of utter despair. With the Liu family's withdrawal, the annexation of Xinyu Pharmaceuticals was a foregone conclusion, and all their painstaking efforts would be washed away into nothingness.

Above the subterranean lake, a massive platform had been erected, extending outward to all sides via a nine-curved carved white-jade stone bridge.

As if completely ignoring the existence of Naraku Yura, she clutched her stomach and hurried into a private room.

Over the years, venomous snakes frequently infested the village, and many villagers, trying to make a living, went into the mountains to pick coconuts and ended up poisoned.

"Who has the audacity to chase my wife out of my home!" Xiao Kuangshen's voice echoed from outside the door.

At this moment, Grandpa Zhang had a ruddy complexion, looking not at all like a sick man, but rather as though he were merely fast asleep.

After all, a tycoon of his level was deeply composed and calm, rarely revealing his emotions lightly.

Just as the two of them were about to open the door and walk in, Wang Ying came out carrying his luggage.

He was no longer a "single dog" now, but a "single dog" accompanied by a dog! Even when cooking, he had to prepare meals for "two single dogs."

Seeing this, Madam Su also cast a meaningful glance at Gu Chang, smiling knowingly, leaving Gu Chang bewildered and completely clueless.

He lay sprawling on the dilapidated sofa, allowing a head of fine, soft, silver hair to cascade haphazardly.

Yet the person in question wore an expression of utter detachment, the slight upward curl of his lips indicating he was in a very good mood.
