There was no concrete evidence, yet An Ruoran simply felt that something must have been done regarding this matter; otherwise, she wouldn’t have sensed that Mo Lingran seemed to be hiding something from her. The only lingering question was how the knight cultivation levels were divided in this world—why were they segmented in stages?

Ye Xiu stood by the entrance of the venue, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, hands tucked into his pockets, headphones on his ears. He nodded occasionally in rhythm with the music drifting from inside.

Wrapped in a down jacket, Du Ruo ascended the mountain accompanied by Manager Xu. The hillside was covered with unknown herbs, ones Du Ruo had never seen before, sparking her curiosity.

They kept expressing their gratitude to her, even secretly trying to slip her red envelopes, hoping she would be more attentive during tomorrow’s treatment.

“Grandmother San, you’re too flattering. I haven’t reached that level yet; I still need to keep learning and improving,” Su Xiaotang replied with a humble smile.

Seeing Mo Qianning’s apparent disbelief, the man’s gaze flickered—truly a despicable woman; she couldn’t even trust him on this.

Qin Shao’s shoulders sank slightly as the jacket carrying Ye Qingcheng’s warmth draped over his own, causing his eyes to momentarily flash.

Perhaps I’m overthinking, but I can’t help feeling that Ye Hansheng is in a particularly good mood; after all, I noticed a faint smile lingering at the corners of his lips.

“If you want to eat, then eat!” Xiao Yunxuan knew his sister’s temper well. With so many people around, he couldn’t openly say anything, so he shot Princess Jian’an a glare and resignedly let go.

Thus, Zhan Qingyi had truly become the “target of public ire.” Everyone at Star International knew she held the life-and-death power over the Li family. The looks cast her way were laden with complex feelings, and some even claimed she intended to seize the Li family’s fortune and flee with the money.

“Swish!” The soft, multicolored fish tail waved gently through the air, surrounded by a faint mist of water vapor. In her mature enchantress form, Yao Yao was already alluring and beautiful; the sway of her twin fish tails made her figure even more graceful, as if she could instantly captivate any human soul.

All the droplets in the spiritual space melted instantly. Yun Feng, at the peak of the leader rank, suddenly unleashed his full strength. At the same moment, Ao Jin’s dragon breath completely vanished. His golden-yellow pupils swiftly turned to Yun Feng and, sensing his overwhelming aura, narrowed slightly.

“Now that we know what was said that day, Axi, cooperate with me. Let’s put on a big show,” Chen Tianyun pondered before speaking.

“Look. Even if you shout yourself hoarse, no one will listen. Just come in quietly with me.” Saying so, he hoisted Xuanxuan up without ceremony.

The one who arrived was none other than Yanran, who had once lived here. Embarrassment painted her face as she looked at Zeran’s gloomy expression, uncertain what to say. She felt as if caught in the act of wrongdoing, her eyes darting nervously to avoid his gaze.

“Sell it if you must. After all, it’s her property; she can handle it however she likes!” Fu Sinian said gloomily.

“Mm, behave from now on. When I’m satisfied, I’ll give you that thing,” Bai Fenghua shamelessly coaxed.

Though mentally prepared, hearing her father say it out loud still sent chills through Zhan Qingyi’s body and mind. She stood there, her mouth slightly parted, stunned and speechless.

Sun Jian showed a trace of embarrassment; he realized that without applying some pressure, today’s matter wouldn’t be resolved well.

If it were any other girl in this situation, she would surely be overwhelmed with gratitude toward that man in black.

“Is it or isn’t it?!” Qinghui suddenly raised his voice, shouting sharply enough to startle Master Liu into an instinctive flinch.

Yet, when Mrs. Wesley tucked him in, Van Lin remained extremely nervous.

Before he could finish speaking, a loud bang echoed. Several people looked over to see Zatomu’s right hand stained with blood—the bang was caused by him striking the weapons rack with his fist.

For experts, this place wasn’t far from the six great sects. If divine powers clashed here, the heretics would gain nothing, and the six sects would suffer severe losses.

On the far south side of the corridor was the shower room, acting as a buffer between the experimental area and the outside world. After each experiment, one had to pass through the shower room for disinfection before exiting.

Jinghong’s magical power was only suppressed, not completely gone from her body. Therefore, her blood still belonged to the Perfect Nourishing Pill series.

He couldn’t eat it, but Qin Zilin sitting opposite devoured it eagerly. It was a buffet after all; better to eat as much as possible—eating less wasn’t worth it.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch! Don’t move! Don’t you dare move, my arm’s broken!” Shen Ning broke out in cold sweat from the pain.

I wouldn’t say much about these things, but their despicable methods against Zhang Yingying infuriated me to the extreme. Now, after taking that punch, my anger blazes even fiercer within me.

“They’ll definitely come looking for her. But with Benlei’s strength, it should be manageable. Also, I’m the boss—don’t talk nonsense!” The Tyrannosaurus reminded seriously with his last words.
