I am your man, after all.

Hotel.

Ji Hanxiao stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, phone in hand, gazing out at the lake view. Su City was the place where he had spent his childhood. Why had he returned? He didn’t understand either. He felt little attachment to this city, perhaps even a certain aversion.

“Boss, what should we do? Are we going to keep working from the hotel forever?” Guazi asked.

Among the Feather Clan, anyone with feathers belonged to them. Though not as fierce as the Lions or White Tigers, nor as territorially vast as the Bear Clan, the Feather Clan boasted a great number of magical beasts.

The serpent’s blood had dried up; large patches of dark red, churned repeatedly, had merged with the mud and stones. The intense metallic and acrid stench made one’s throat itch, as if clogged tightly by dry blood strands—most unpleasant.

It was no wonder. The Marquis of Changxin’s mansion was located in the Eastern Sea District of Furong Kingdom, over a hundred miles from the capital city. Moreover, it was even farther from Longyue Kingdom. Besides, An Xueling was a secondary daughter of a marquis’s household; such a status hardly attracted the attention of someone like him.

Qin Zheng had wanted to argue a bit, but upon meeting Zhou Ping’s gaze, he immediately wilted, hanging his head and obediently admitting his fault.

“Your Excellency, according to Xun Fang’s report, many foreigners have appeared in the south, seemingly looking to take advantage,” Wei Chang said gravely.

Then, in the next moment, a vivid splash of red caught everyone’s eyes, fluttering down to one side.

Ling Ke raised his hand and, with a swift motion, unleashed a surge of profound energy. Under the tremendous force, the snow demon’s body was hurled far away.

Lan Buyuan’s condition was not much better. The two weakened patients quietly made their way toward the Bi Yi Residence.

“Innocent, Wanwan—hmpf, if the innocent one is called that affectionately, then what should the guilty be called? Then what does that make Yanyan?” Du Ziqi simply didn’t believe Ling Hanzhang’s explanation.

Sensing danger, Huan Ling immediately cast a Void Immersion Paralyzing Spell on the diving Eagle King. The four on the mountaintop scattered. Jin Yaochen, upon landing, charged with a powerful leap, colliding with the Eagle King and sending it flying, though he himself was injured and in pain.

From Luo Hai’s understanding of Yun Qinghe, this brother Yun was somewhat stingy, and now this fire had been stoked right on this miser’s head.

Earlier, after hearing Fang Ji’s explanation, he had understood Wan’er’s situation, but seeing her like this still made him feel something was off.

He himself, a six-dimensional being, hadn’t figured out what was going on after this guy returned—could this girl, a mere three-dimensional being, have seen through it?

After fifty years of possession, the lion’s head finally ended up with Li Chongshan; it was meant to be his birthday gift from the start.

As long as Tang Li hadn’t fallen into a trap, she wasn’t guilty of harming others—at worst, it was a failed scheme, an attempted but unsuccessful murder.

Mo Lin had always been the ideal in his heart—because of her strength, her beauty, and the sincere smile she wore when treating their own people.

Generally speaking, the Imperial Guard, also known as the emperor’s spies, were not supposed to be too striking in appearance. The ideal was probably a very average face.

Li Chunling’s apartment was an old building several decades old, without an elevator; the staircases were dilapidated, and each floor was cluttered with various items and garbage, making the living environment quite poor.

“What’s your scheme?” Qin Jun didn’t believe Tang Li was sincerely trying to help them. He suspected she had her own motives. His eyes instantly sharpened; the naive, rustic look he had after losing his memory vanished in an instant. His sharply chiseled features, comparable to a male star’s, now conveyed a certain domineering aura.

Yi Yangtian didn’t respond. Today, Su Chen’s shocks came one after another, far beyond his expectations. He knew that if Su Chen escaped today, it would be like letting a tiger loose, leaving a massive hidden danger not only for himself but for the entire sect.
