“Actually, besides the two of you, I have several other fiancées.”

This time, even Yan Xiyue could no longer hold back. She pointed at Duan Wuhen and shouted furiously, “What! Duan Wuhen, you scumbag!”

“Pfft—Yueyue, you finally see this scumbag’s true colors now, don’t you?”

“Hey! Don’t get worked up yet. I have my reasons. Just listen to me explain!”

The two women spoke in unison. “Fine, then. Let’s see what reasons you have. If you can’t explain yourself, you’re going to regret it!”

“Xiyue, were you born during the Midnight Hour? Qingcheng, were you born during the Noon Hour?”

The two women were instantly stunned. He even knew the exact hours of their births…

Somewhat hazily, Atal heard the words, “Super Aim deployed.” He saw the pilot, who had still been holding his position a moment earlier, suddenly lose the top of his head. Looking toward the direction from which the bullet had come, he realized it was the aircraft’s tail.

Yet not long afterward, Gu Mo once again found herself unable to bear the freezing room that made her tremble. She called Cheng Yunjing again.

Zhao Yan smiled and proudly rose onto his toes. In an instant, he stood a head taller than Huaiyu, infuriating her so much that she struck both his shoulders and forced him back down.

Noble Consort Xin had a gentle and kind appearance, but after remaining in the palace for so long, most people developed a second face. As for who was genuinely amiable and who merely pretended to be kind, it was truly impossible to tell at first glance.

“Uh, their English is only so-so. Uncle is worried.” Xiao Cheng figured that perhaps he simply was not very good at refusing people.

The gravestone was ancient. The edges on both sides had long since been smoothed by the passage of time, and the characters carved upon it had become blurred beyond recognition. Only after the weeds covering it were pulled away could the inscription be made out: “Mount Qingcheng, Zhang Dacheng.”

“It’s not as serious as you think. Even if you die, I won’t.” The Secret Guest smiled. “After all, this connection began entirely because of me. If I kill you, I can rid myself of this burden; if you kill me, you can end this kind of life directly.”

After hearing this, Fang Cheng knitted his handsome brows and reached up to rub the space between them. Yet inwardly he wondered, What is wrong with everyone tonight? Why has everyone brought up drinking?

“Hi. How come you’re by yourself?” Lin Zidan asked in confusion as he opened the passenger-side door and climbed into the car.

Previously, he had always figured things out on his own. Although he possessed extraordinary talent, he had still taken a few wrong turns. With Zuo Xuan offering guidance at his side, his progress naturally became twice as effective and astonishingly swift.

Established at roughly the same time as the Second Dynasty of Uruk were the Third Dynasty of Kish and the Atab Dynasty.

At the center of the Blood Lake, there was a Jade Ripple Pool that could draw spiritual power from a different space-time level, but that was a slow and steady process. Thus, the entire Old Pot World had yet to fully evolve.

Duan was simply somewhat afraid to make up his mind. The risk was far too great. If he truly altered history, he might vanish forever in an instant. Therefore, this was merely Duan’s ambition—and one he kept hidden deep within his heart.

Inside the Mage Tower, players could not use recovery potions or other supplies from the outside world. They could not use magic scrolls, either, nor even the special materials required for certain powerful skills. The only things they could use were the drops from the monsters within the Mage Tower. Yet all such items would automatically disappear once they died and left the tower.

Mount Taiyin stretched endlessly in every direction, and Shi Hong did not know where the mountain gate was. Daoist Hexiang had treated him well, so he naturally could not scatter his soul sense across the entire mountain. That would be far too presumptuous.

The food was ordinary, but there was no limit on the quantity, and ample provisions were supplied. At the same time, to ensure that training proceeded smoothly, Zhang Han spared no expense on medicine. Anyone who was injured received timely treatment.

The Demon King’s forces continued to contract. In the end, although there was still a vast disparity in troop numbers, the overall momentum had already been established.

The six enormous pillars resembled roots growing from beneath an immortal mountain. They plunged into the dark depths of the sea, supporting the entire Eastern Meng Immortal Mountain.

He quietly descended. Behind him, his six black-steel wings spread like an eagle’s. Without needing to flap, he glided with the wind, making not the slightest sound. Below, the voices of two thieves drifted to Chen Luo on the breeze. After listening, Chen Luo could not help laughing.

“I have absolutely no divided loyalties toward you. In this life, I will never take a concubine. If I violate this oath, then let me meet the same fate as this blade.” Long Qingyuan’s expression was solemn and resolute.

To celebrate our reunion, I immediately dragged her off to eat stewed offal and fried scorpions. Of course, I was only testing her. I was genuinely terrified.

Long Qingyuan did not unleash the Soul-Devouring Thorn. Instead, he met the attack with his right palm. With a bang, the two exchanged a blow. He did not move an inch, while Bai Mo was knocked back several steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

His wings unfurled, making him resemble a giant roc as he circled continuously above the surface of the sea. Ye Lin was his target.

Although she did not turn around, Lin Diao could still sense the powerful confidence radiating from Su Yang.

After Li Bai left, we quietly waited on the rooftop, listening to the noisy commotion below. We were so nervous that our hearts nearly leaped from our chests, terrified that they would charge up.

After saying this, Xia Haoxuan returned to his room and entered the alchemy training ground to farm experience. If he could improve, he would improve as much as possible. This time, he was not merely trying to achieve a good ranking and win respect for the Yuan Family, as he had claimed there. His true goal was to become the champion of the Alchemy Conference.

“It’s fine. The power isn’t that great. There’s no need to worry for now.” Ariel answered calmly, but her brows had already drawn together slightly. At the same time, a negation crystal appeared in each of her hands, which had previously hung at her sides.

After all, most of his elite forces had already been wiped out. It was absolutely impossible to expect him to give up now.

But things had turned out differently. Simply traveling there would take more than twenty days. It was an absurd waste of time.

In an instant, a bolt of lightning tore across the sky and illuminated the entire night. By its light, Li Xiaodi saw clearly that what surged toward them like a tide was actually countless ghostly creatures.

Yet 5637, inside the system space, could clearly see the changes taking place on this plane. Gu Shenghao remained the Chosen One of Destiny, but the fortune surrounding him was far weaker than it had been in the original storyline. As for Xiao Ya, she had originally relied on Gu Shenghao and should have possessed considerable fortune of her own. Now, however, it had grown so thin that it was almost impossible to see.
