Chapter 43

Holding our flashlights, we returned to the original spot. I had already checked the place where the paper figurine had been, and there was absolutely nothing supporting it. Clearly, the paper figurine had been levitating right above the weeds.

Ever since then, whenever the Ancestral Witches happened to see someone passing by, they would randomly blurt out this phrase just for fun, leaving countless people puzzled for a long time, while the twelve Ancestral Witches would simply chuckle heartily.

Although everyone was curious about what was actually inside that stone box, they also knew that now was not the time, and they could only keep their questions to themselves for the moment.

Inside the meal box were four chicken drumsticks and a large pork chop, with plenty more meat buried underneath. Looking at Dawei and the others, although they also had meat and vegetable dishes, their meals were clearly much inferior to mine.

Though I said nothing out loud, I became much more cautious inwardly, keeping a constant watch on the surrounding movements. We were currently in the hotel lobby, which was very spacious. The chandelier overhead was entirely wrapped in vines, and the ground was littered with rocks and debris.

However, he was the top student within the entire Tiandu Academy, and his strength was plain for all to see. Brandishing his sword, he rushed straight toward Xu Feng and thrust at him.

Dark Moon said, "I will follow whatever Big Brother says, but out here in this desolate wilderness, you must serve as my pillow before I will sleep." With that, she gazed at Xu Feng.

Yang Guang conjured a flying sword and attacked True Person Yueyang, who did not show weakness and raised his sword to meet the onslaught.

"Heh, it's New Year's, let's not talk about such things. Auntie, let me wish you an early Happy New Year; may you stay forever youthful and beautiful, and may all your wishes come true." Zhang Mingyu gave his older brother an annoyed sideways glance, and then wished Wu Xiao an early Happy New Year over the phone.

This series of integrations took nearly ten days. By the time Liu Yang received Ren Gu's letter, the integration process had just been completed.

Seeing this, Zhang Yang felt a surge of joy and hurriedly reached out to pull off Xu Meilin's dress. However, when he slid the dress down to her hips, Xu Meilin suddenly pressed her body down onto it, halting his movements.

As it turned out, this loud and boisterous figure was the current Sun King of the dynasty, the number one expert within the royal palace, belonging to the Kshatriya caste.

"Since you ants wish to play, this Emperor shall play with you to your heart's content," the Heavenly Demon Emperor said with a faint smile, carrying supreme demonic power as he drifted in the nine heavens, shaking the ancient thunder.

However, once Zhao Tiehu understood the inner workings of the Tianxia Group, he naturally would not be bewitched by its glamorous surface.

She had never imagined that watching Lan Yueli vanish right before her eyes could cause her such agony.

The Shu army was presumably just ahead. Last night, he had allowed his soldiers to rest well, and early this morning, they had advanced rapidly, intending to catch the Shu army off guard.

Reya's failure caused massive losses to the Doyin Group and boosted the momentum of the Xiangxi Hall, something he found utterly unacceptable.

"Aren't you afraid of getting pimples?" Seeing Su Ranran's aggrieved expression, Su Qinghan's tone gradually shifted to a gentle one.

Jin Nanfeng and Ye Youyao had known about this all along. Although it wasn't malicious, having Su Yu state it aloud caused Jin Nanfeng a sudden surge of agitation, making him lose his composure and shout at Su Yu.

Beitang Li sat alongside Su Yu on the eaves, clutching the candied hawthorn stick Su Yu had given her, saving it and refusing to eat it.

China raised her head in surprise, catching the gaze of Sanada Genichiro, who, seeing her look over, quickly averted his eyes.

Yet her condition was clearly very poor, which could be deduced from the fact that she had to use disguise and evasion rather than gracefully departing with invisibility and levitation spells.

"The Yanyan Sacred Mountain is of utmost importance to my master. If I charge up there right now and ruin Master's plans..." Thinking of this, the Serpent Sovereign could not help trembling from head to toe.

"The money can arrive at any time, but can you find the seeds for these medicinal herbs?" Ye Yulin hurriedly pursued the question.

"Fine." Fengguang did not even glance at her father, who was hoping she would bring her mother back home, and left resolutely with Yan Fei.

On one hand, she had to endure the intense pressure from the enemy she was currently fighting; on the other, she had to fend off the prying eyes of Orochimaru.

Looking into the distance, the harbor was packed with all sorts of naval warships. In the dry dock on the left side of the harbor, a massive white warship was undergoing maintenance by repair personnel—this was none other than the Archangel, which had just broken away from the Atlantic Federation to join the combat sequence of the Eastern Asian Federation.

Why did it feel like they were a couple?! The way they gazed deeply into each other was truly enviable... China's pupils suddenly contracted into pinpoints. Could they be the next couple?!

By the time the fifth safety zone had shrunk, leaving behind a circular area merely four hundred meters in diameter, only five survivors remained.

Eve's grandfather wasn't actually ill; this time, he had simply used a grave illness as an excuse to trick Eve into going back on a blind date. Eve's profession and hobbies were destined to make aristocratic young gentlemen cower in fear, and her marriage had now become the most troublesome headache for her entire family.

After a moment of thought, she headed toward the mourning hall anyway. If she didn't stir up some trouble on such a fine opportunity today, she wouldn't be Shen Muwan.

Fifth Concubine glanced at Shen Muwan, then picked up the small bottle, poured out the single pill inside, popped it into her mouth, and swallowed it directly.

Madam Lin Jiang was startled. She had merely been speaking out of courtesy, never expecting Madam Xia Ming to be completely unreserved, immediately demanding three poached eggs to eat.

However, before she could make a move, Shangguan Yanran dashed forward in a flash and forcefully dragged Ye Ran aside. Her azure eyes held not a shred of emotion, and the look she cast at Su Yingtao was as if she were looking at a dead person.

When he first arrived in this world, Shen Changqing felt somewhat unaccustomed to it, but as time passed, he grew used to it.

The magnificent snowfall had ceased, leaving the entire Gourd Valley blanketed in white. However, high in the air, gales of bloody aura were continually condensing, drawing toward the top of the valley as if some immense suction force were pulling the blood qi upward.
