32 He is such a fool.

Joey immediately adjusted his posture, pinning Duncan down firmly, his right hand left free to handle any unexpected emergencies.

At this moment, the heart of the millennium tree and the bamboo of time had merged perfectly. Even with Mu Yi’s discerning eye, he could not detect any trace of a joint; it was as if that protrusion had naturally grown that way. Yet, what truly surprised Mu Yi was not even this.

Talia wiped the sweat from her brow again, slowly unbuttoning her clothes, and stripped off her simple attire.

To avoid awkwardness, Zhong Sixin quickly pulled Wu Yong aside and said, "Ignore him. Officer Lan, let's sing. Everyone, how about we ask our beloved Officer Lan to perform a song for us?"

Wu Yong had no choice but to open another bottle of Erguotou. However, if he were really forced to drink the whole bottle, he would surely be hopelessly drunk. It was a joke; this Erguotou was fifty-three percent proof, and a bottle weighed over a jin. For someone with his tolerance of only three taels, drinking this much would certainly lead to disaster.

After all, his very aura had undergone subtle changes. Only in this way could Mu Yi secure a period of peace after seizing the Yin-Yang Jade. Otherwise, once his identity was exposed, he would likely never know tranquility again, as not only the powerhouses of various races but even the Heaven-Man realm experts of the human race might hunt him down.

Even so, Yang Yuanqi’s arms were aching so badly that he could barely hold his chopsticks steadily, let alone a weapon, earning him a disdainful look from the Marquis of Yong’an.

However, seeing Li Dongyang’s radiant smile, though the reason remained unknown, it was a good thing regardless.

Fatty Sun had been locked inside the Paper-Crafting Sect by Zhou Yunjiang and was not allowed to leave, as the latter feared that the Nanyang monk captured by the sect might have accomplices who would pose a threat to him.

However, since those few shots required anywhere from a week to half a month to film, Li An found himself idle.

Yan Kuangtu’s eyes slowly dimmed, and his previously agitated mood gradually returned to calm.

"Enough talk! If you want to fight, then fight! Come at me together!" Qin Hengtian’s body shimmered with radiance, the thunder above his head growing increasingly intense. Beneath his feet, a sea of blood churned with massive corpses, while nine nine-clawed imperial dragons of varying colors spiraled into the nine-colored sea of thunder behind him.

"Damned human emperor, I will kill you!" Before Qin Hengtian could respond, a furious, murderous roar echoed from the deepest reaches of the firmament of the Dark Gold Dragon Emperor Realm. An dark-gold dragon claw, as vast as a star, reached down from the clouds, tearing through the sky and shattering the earth for ten thousand miles.

From the blood and minced flesh, a black crystal the size of a fist flew out, glinting brilliantly in the sunlight.

Following the breathing technique for the "Water-Walking" lightness skill, he channeled his energy slightly and was surprised to feel his body become light and much more agile.

Little did he know, the capital was filled with competing factions. While it appeared calm on the surface, dangerous undercurrents surged beneath. One wrong step, and it would invite a fatal disaster.

"A secret technique? It seems you’re finally playing for real. I like it!" Auguard bent to avoid the streak of blood-red energy and grinned. His body shot forward, leaving behind black afterimages. Holding nothing back, he threw a full-force palm strike, and a massive surge of energy rolled toward Hailisi like a crashing tide.

These clan heads were sharp; the moment the dark energy exploded, they began to flee madly toward Earth.

Chapter 185: Taking on Ten at Once. The earthy-yellow crystal core contained extraordinary magic, providing twice as much experience as the silver-white ones.

She had always used the Blood Jade Sword passed down through the royal family of the Snow Kingdom. However, ever since she began practicing the Burning Heaven Technique, the hidden dangers in her body had been completely eradicated, and her internal energy had undergone a significant mutation. The Blood Jade Sword could no longer withstand this mutated energy, nor could it unleash her full potential.

Seeing the ruthless look in the Tiger King’s eyes, the Desperate Dog couldn't help but feel a shiver of dread. In the past, with the protection of the Dragon Hall and the backing of the Dragon King, he had dared to contend with the Tiger King. Now that the Dragon King was dead and the future of the Dragon Hall was uncertain, he had become like a duckweed, completely devoid of courage.

Jiraiya was covered in blood and looked extremely weak, with Fukasaku sitting on the table and Tsunade healing his wounds.

Even so, these medicinal herbs did not cost Luo Hebin even one-fifth of his assets. After instructing the shops to deliver the goods directly to Yang Weiwei’s residence, Luo Hebin hailed a taxi by the roadside.

Regarding Wu Tingjun’s idea, Tang Jian’an attributed the origin of the problem to himself; it was simply following the flow of events.

Zhang Yifan’s words left the Sixth Space stunned, as well as everyone else. No one had expected him to try to poach talent at such a time.

Zhu Yan could not imagine why she would tell her so much, nor could she fathom how she knew all of this; she could only look at her with confusion.

Dantai Mingjing let out a muffled groan. The Yuanhong sword, which had pierced through her chest, was withdrawn in an instant, and Li Qishu’s body retreated wildly backward.

Within the Taiqian Empire, the Imperial Observatory held a unique status. They were talented individuals whom the empire had painstakingly recruited with vast financial and material resources, all to ensure the stability of the imperial throne. Now, with the Southern Barbarian crisis and the rampant Holy Temple, the once-tranquil observatory had become somewhat busy.

In truth, whether he slept or not made little difference, but in front of Mei Jingshu, it was better not to reveal such abnormalities.

However, what use was a simple wiretap? The things he had said over the past two days had no connection to anything else; they merely recorded simple conversations between himself and Zhuzi.

Changfeng smiled, "There is no need. If the young master did not give orders, it means we should stay to protect the Princess." With their young master’s skill, even if the seven brothers combined their strength, they would be no match for him. Furthermore, if they were to follow him to the Dongxu State Preceptor’s Mansion, they would only be a burden.

"Isn't it fine not to take medicine? Why do you keep thinking about it?" Xu Qing watched them exit through the glass door, retracting her gaze nonchalantly, and muttered with a pout.

Shen Yanhao’s attempt to comfort him not only failed to improve Sheng Hua’s mood but instead made his expression even gloomier.

"I suppose this must be our Holy Princess Consort? With such beauty, surely it wasn’t achieved through a disguise, was it?" As she spoke, Nan Lehuang looked directly at Murong Feisi, deliberately raising her voice with a tone of mockery and undisguised disdain.

Ruoxi recalled the first time she had been confined here and had no choice but to sleep in the arms of Nangong Jinyu for the night. This time, she had actually done so voluntarily, just to put his mind at ease.
