Chapter 34: It’s That I Like You So, So Much!
"Not from Skyfish? Could it be from Warcat? Is it that Warcat, Chen Xiaowan, from a few days ago?" someone asked excitedly.
His formidable, armored scales offered absolutely no defense against the opponent's sharp claws.
Birds were chirping incessantly, and as the sun rose, the cicadas, having rested for half the night, began to sing at the top of their lungs.
"Chen Yi, now that you've reached the Harmony Path Realm, does anyone besides us know?" Nangong Yu asked after a moment of thought. Although they were inferior to Chen Yi in strength, they had managed the Tianlan Empire and the Imperial Sect for so long that their strategic maturity was undoubtedly superior to his.
Of course, if Gege knew that the person sitting next to Long Yun was actually Fenrir, the giant wolf who was one of the seven great sect masters of Atlantis and had once bitten the Father of All Gods to death, one wonders how she would feel.
"Understand with a single hint? I understand even without a hint..." Long Yun almost burst out laughing, desperately pinching a chunk of flesh on his thigh to hold back the laughter.
The bloodthirsty creature's body disintegrated instantly into countless fragments, transforming into a crystal card that appeared in his palm.
Huo Qing had a great love for music, but his abilities in military and political affairs were not lacking either. Seeing that Huo Qing had seen through her intentions, Huo Bing was furious.
Letting them suffer from internal friction would ensure that when they were finally at their wit's end, the new Great King Bogu and the Crown Prince Yiyin Mo would inevitably be abandoned by the Goguryeo nobles.
She was deep in affection, gentle and kind, and as delicate as a flower; under her contrast, Lady Ou looked hideous, like a detestable female demon.
Lin Yi felt a sharp pain in his chest, followed by a sweetness in his throat, and blood could not help but spray from his mouth.
Jian Yiyang wrapped his arms around her, adjusting her into a more comfortable position so she could sleep more soundly.
Ning Yuanlan smiled at him faintly. Ever since her father passed away, she had been in low spirits and had eaten very little. Not only had she lost weight, but she noticed her mother had grown thin as well.
Perhaps this was what they called love fermenting; people who originally had only a slight intersection were now surrounded by a different kind of emotion.

The Wood King had only encountered Li Tianchen twice, but that was enough for him to clearly realize that the young human before him was no ordinary person, but a terrifying existence.
This was not meant to look down on the police; given the state of the battle, let alone these officers, even he, who had become a Qi practitioner, and Su Ya, whose combat prowess surpassed his own, could not rely on individual strength to intervene.
At this moment, in a certain void, a ray of purple light flashed gently, carrying a hint of purple essence that attached to and merged into Fang Cheng's soul space.
In that very instant, the three leaders let out a simultaneous roar, and hundreds of experts surrounding them struck all at once.
Xiaowu understood her hesitation but was unwilling to make the decision for her; whatever kind of life it was, one had to walk the path oneself.
Seeing this, Chen Fan raised his eyebrows slightly. He had not expected Fuxi's magic to be so miraculous; it was masterful, akin to teleportation, and truly mind-boggling. Chen Fan estimated that the opponent must have used some form of wind-based magic.
It was natural for their rage to surge under these circumstances, but restrained by Wang Dashu and the other villagers, these angry people, no matter how furious they were, halted their actions.
"Speak, I'm listening." Chen Fan remained motionless, his face devoid of any respect, his expression indifferent.
In reality, even by being so hands-on—to the point where Li He even did manual labor himself, shocking the crowd with his Blue Dragon power just to save a bit on labor costs—he still found, while stopping to drink water and reconcile accounts near the afternoon, exhausted and drenched in sweat, that he had run out of money.
Once force was used, a heaven-shaking melee would inevitably erupt. At that point, who could guarantee they would survive and be the one to laugh last?
"It's true; here, it feels like I can think about everything, and yet it feels like I don't need to think about anything at all." Qiao Mimi said with a smile, her eyes curving into beautiful crescents like the moon.
After all, Li Erlong had cured her carsickness by stimulating just one acupoint, and he looked so energetic now.
He now had enough soul blood stones and enough contribution points that he didn't need to go out and hunt ferocious beasts to have sufficient cultivation resources.
As for the corpses on the battlefield, those of his own side were laid out on the hillside, while the enemy corpses were all cast into the deep valley at the rear.

The pupils of the Mirage contracted sharply. Daring not to be careless, he opened his right hand, and a giant sword suddenly appeared in his grasp. He swept it in an arc, blocking the Golden Cudgel. When the weapons collided, the sound was piercing enough to shatter metal and stone, echoing across the heavens.
This time, Yi Dun was the only Chinese competitor, and without an old friend nearby to chat with, he felt rather stifled.
Qingyun had wanted to call out "Fellow Daoist," but upon second thought, she decided to call him "Brother" instead, hoping to at least ease the tense atmosphere between them.
"You won this time, though there must have been an element of luck involved. As someone who has been through it, your old man knows a thing or two," Chu Feng said.
Because they were an export-oriented economy, goods priced in Japanese Yen suddenly became nearly 20% more expensive in the international market. Some enterprises, which originally only had a 15% profit margin, even ended up selling at a 5% loss.
Even without spiritual power, Qingyun's physical strength had recovered quite a bit. Seeing her about to rush to the entrance of the village, Xiao Luoyi could not stop her no matter how hard he tried.
After a chuckle, Ning Yuan put the medicinal pill back into its box.
When Shen Mengchen finished saying these things, she took a very exquisite bottle out of her pocket and placed it in Sister Qin's hand.
Beneath the Glazed Crystal Pagoda, the more than three hundred cultivators who formed the array collapsed from exhaustion after that crisp sound rang out.
A fist the size of a sandbag smashed toward him, aiming directly for Chu Ran's vital temple. Chu Ran still wore a faint smile, blocking the attack with ease.
This demeanor infuriated Shang Pinyu, but unable to find any leverage, she could only seethe in secret, reaching out to pinch Yufeng's waist.
These words put Gao Feng at ease. Although the weird doctor was terrifying and his personality unpredictable, this tone told him that the doctor never lied about his work; he possessed a fanatical obsession with and confidence in his own creations.
