Volume 1, Chapter 168: Show Me Your Sincerity
The music ceased. The lights in the room brightened. The alluring young women, dressed provocatively, all stopped dancing. The young man gave a slight wave of his hand. The young ladies, quite perceptive, promptly left the private room.
Yu Shi seemed very obedient; she never engaged in such things and was truly a model student, which earned her some favor from Xiao Su in this regard.
Fei Bowen glared fiercely at Yang Lianchu, who was scolding her, biting down hard on her teeth to keep from impulsively speaking out.
“Grandma will come to pick you up immediately. Where are you?” Lan Yue’er finally calmed down upon hearing Mo’s voice.
The two were very satisfied with the scene before them. Although they had not reached the highest level of the fifth-tier White Spirit Sea, the current fourth-tier was already quite gratifying. After all, their bloodlines had been diluted over thousands of years; to achieve this level was quite remarkable.
Seeing their sole request so flatly refused, Shi Haotian’s gaze grew increasingly cold.
It was truly the sorrow of being a fate diviner. Though they could intercept heavenly secrets, calculate others’ destinies, and even sense crises to turn misfortune into fortune, they could not predict the fates of their own family members. Moreover, if they revealed too many heavenly secrets and incurred divine punishment, it could also affect their loved ones.
Having changed back into his own clothes, Xu Zuoyan pulled the hood of his jacket over his head. The bite mark behind his ear was covered by a larger bandage. He called Zhuzi, who was guarding the back door of the club; there was still no movement on his end, so it seemed they had to wait.
Xu Zuoyan chuckled softly, cupped Ye Kaicheng’s face, and kissed him. Only then did they both rise from the bed.
Qi Zi·Fan enjoyed teasing Qi Zixiao, certainly, but he understood the phrase “know your limits.” Teasing occasionally when bored helped strengthen their bond.
Immediately, Jiang Yuan’s entire body slackened and curled into a ball. Facing an Immortal Emperor, even the faintest aura or wisps of divine thought, he dared not resist—only offering his neck to be slain. This was a suppression on the level of life itself, a culmination of years of accumulated authority.
Immortal Realm! In truth, they were not genuine immortals—rather, they were immortals only on this planet! Those from the Immortal World called them “Earth Immortals.”
Returning to the RV with the freshly caught seafood, Gao Feng shooed away Xima, who wanted to help. He prepared to personally cook a few signature dishes: the prawns were to be pan-seared in olive oil, and the cod, cleaned thoroughly, marinated in ice wine before being baked in the oven.
“You’d better not use the purple eyes casually; they draw too much attention and make it easy for them to hunt you down,” his clone advised.
By this point, Wang Yonghao had completed almost everything he promised the spirit. Now, all that remained was to wait for the clouds in the sky to disperse so that sunlight could shine directly upon him.
Li Xiang took a deep breath, slowly clearing his mind of distractions. He closed his eyes and floated above the hundred-meter-diameter hexagram magic circle, softly chanting an ancient, unknown magical incantation.
“Yes, Host. If you wish to destroy the universe, you may also choose to transfer the cost, making all living beings in the cosmos bear the price on your behalf,” the mysterious system responded.
“Keep dodging his attacks for now. I need to observe some more.” Upon hearing the cold inquiry, Dark Phoenix simply replied briefly. Her phoenix eyes remained fixed unwaveringly on the guardian beast, filled with sudden realization.
More importantly, he must return Han Xian’s remains to the royal family, ensuring a proper burial in the ancestral tombs of the Langya royal lineage.
Ron ceased his cultivation. Although he could distinctly sense the magic power from the source increasing gradually, the pace was far too slow. Ron could not endure such a sluggish progression.
