Volume One, Chapter Thirty-Eight: There's Something Even More Powerful—Would You Like to Try It?

Cheng Xinsu called out again, unwilling to give up, "Ninth Master, I have something to say to you, and it concerns Miss Yan as well."

This time, Qin Zhan finally halted, turned back, and cast the woman a cold glance, noticing that her attire was strikingly similar to that of the little fox.

Unable to eat or sleep well, and plagued by longing for Nie Chen, Ning Xia had grown noticeably thinner in just a few days.

The aftermath of the lightning and explosions had faded, leaving utter devastation all around. The land was razed, as barren and desolate as if untouched by human hands.

By this time, workers were already helping Mr. Ye extract all the jade from the rough stones. The crowd of onlookers still lingered, eager for more excitement.

Liu Ci dared not disturb Christine, only keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings, deeply afraid that the cunning Charles might have set up an ambush within the tower as well.

Although Zhu Lingqi could halt the storm spell at any moment, at Landon's signal, the tempest continued to rage for a full fifteen minutes before finally dying down on its own. In that time, Landon tried asking a few questions, but the other party was uncooperative. As a result, not only did Landon refrain from ending the spell, he even ordered Hogg to throw in more items.

Chi Jin Feng! One day, you'll regret treating me like this! He Shanni wept bitterly, her carefully applied makeup streaming down her face. She could not comprehend—after giving him so much, why was she met with nothing but his heartlessness? What made that wretched girl so special to entrance him so completely?

The King Gu represented the ultimate yang, and masculine force was naturally the hardest substance in the world. The infant's vessel, on the other hand, embodied the ultimate yin—yin signifying flexibility and resilience. The perfect union of the two could not be rivaled even by ordinary alloys.

"Thank you, Young Master Cheng, for your understanding," Gu Jiaqi replied with a gentle smile, clapped her hands, and Chunhua and Qiuyue brought over two sets of blueprints.

This time, Tasadin had clearly come for that demon. With Landon's approval, he was eager to hunt down his target. However, Landon showed no intention of acting immediately, instead offering him a room to rest and then taking his leave.

Take the heavenly tribulation, for example—he could simply pierce the Eye of Heaven, sparing his people from enduring it altogether. In this way, the QQ system was his unique cheat, allowing him to achieve what others could not and altering the course of his life, setting him on a path unlike anyone else's.

In truth, Li Lin had planned to visit in a few days, taking into account the situation at the distillery. After all, "Cloud Brew" was about to officially launch, and things would become hectic. Ouyang Yufei naturally would have no time for leisure. Once these busy days passed and everything ran smoothly, it would be much better.

"Alright, I won't ask anymore," Yuna said, seeing Li Lin's reluctance to speak and not wanting to press further.

The two girls lay side by side, their heads touching as they slept on the bed. Their faces were equally pale, their limbs slender and delicate, yet covered with various scars and calluses.

"I dug in the soil, so I got all muddy. I was afraid you'd be angry if I walked straight in, so I went to wash up first." As she spoke, she bit her lip and looked at Lin Xianfan with an innocent expression.

It seemed there was no chance left with Icarus—he hadn't forgotten that it was at this very moment Icarus had forged the binding chains with the anime's protagonist, Tomoki Sakurai, pledging eternal loyalty. As for Celia, she had no idea just how much her instinctive kindness might benefit her in the future.
