Chapter 64

Occupying a lofty position as a disciple of the Great Emperor and the head of a department, she had never suffered a loss at anyone's hands, which inevitably filled her with deep-seated hatred for Ye Shaoyang.

"Big sister, I, Pilu, prefer being frank when caught and resisting strictly when pursued..." Pilu narcissistically assumed she was smiling at him.

Old man Liu insisted on stuffing the silver dollar into Ye Shaoyang's hands. Finding it impossible to refuse, Ye Shaoyang had no choice but to accept it.

"Stop crying, wipe away your tears. Originally, I intended to get you a noble lady's title, but now that you've offended the Second Prince—who is actually extremely vindictive—though nothing major will happen to you, that title is definitely gone." Zheng Dian squatted down beside Li Yuejie, scooping up a handkerchief and handing it to her.

As for what had previously been mistaken for waterweed, it was actually his hair; stained by some unknown substance, it had turned completely green.

Ouyang Yan did not give Zeng Qiuping any pleasant looks either. If not for the sake of Leng Mo's auspicious day, she would have given him a severe tongue-lashing.

"What do you mean 'what'? Are you still refusing to admit defeat? You must know this is also this young master's ultimate technique, though clearly, if I were to hit you with one more finger, you wouldn't be able to withstand it." Lin Feng wore a proud and haughty expression, like a victorious princess.

After dismissing all his subordinates, Dong Yu turned around, picked up a wooden club, and amidst Ya'er's startled gasp, brought it down hard on Xiao Yao's head.

"Handsome, where to?" After getting dressed with superhuman speed and hurrying downstairs, Fang Tianbao saw a motorcycle parked right outside his building. Seeing Fang Tianbao walking while casually styling his hair with his hands, the motorcycle taxi driver smiled and asked him.

"Hypocrite, how do you still have the nerve to call my eldest brother sworn brothers? How can you look him in the eye?" Pang Deng dropped those words, let out a sarcastic "hum," and flicked his sleeves before turning away from the door.

With these words, to demonstrate his sincerity, he forcefully shook off Ren Xiaoman's hand that had been linked around his arm once again. This was the second time he had brushed her off with clear disgust. While some found it an eyesore, others felt as happy as a fully bloomed flower under the brilliant, shining sun.

The strength of the deep-sea behemoths was indeed far inferior to those of later eras, and suppressed by the howling wind and biting cold, they were completely unable to unleash their full power.

"This is the first time I've ever known that the Size Manipulation Technique could be used to reinforce hair," Tang Qing muttered blankly.

Su Mu nodded toward Yang Huaping, stepped forward to block Yao Chen, and suddenly pulled a dark iron spear from behind, hurling it straight toward Yue'er.

While Sachiko was secretly startled, Chu Yun collected his thoughts, stepped closer to her, and naturally wrapped his large arm around her slender waist.

Blazing flames and rising heat rolled over them in waves. That warmth was as tender as a mother's embrace, nurturing the trembling, pitiful child's entire body.

They looked at each other and smiled, both flushing deeply. Gazing at her, he called out her name, "Yue'er," with boundless tenderness.

After acknowledging the eccentric young boy, Yang Huaping hoisted Zeng Jiilai onto his shoulder. His figure transformed into a streak of light, following the eccentric boy as they galloped swiftly toward the crimson palace.

The crowd gathered in a sparse circle. Right in the center, resting on a round table, was something that looked like a watermelon with a green rind and red flesh—no, wait, it was a human head.

"No matter what, whoever touches my Long Yan, even if I can't beat them, I'll curse them to death!" The crowd buzzed with discussion, though most stood on Long Yan's side. After all, old man Ding's strictness was notorious in the academy, and everyone assumed the old man must be in the wrong.

Having refined the second battle diagram, Chu Yuan felt that the golden battle energy in his lungs had not depleted as significantly as usual; instead, there was still plenty of reserve capacity, allowing him to attempt refining the third battle diagram within the Taiyi Blade.

"Where did you hear all this?" Hearing the officer's report, Yin Xiangdong furrowed his brows and asked casually.

"Wow, is this the legendary late-god-tier beast, the Greater Earth Lizard King?" Knowing that the Greater Earth Lizard King was on their side, the students below felt no fear. Instead, they gazed at the colossal creature above with faces full of awe, recalling the rumor that this late-god-tier beast was actually Lan Feng's mount.

Xiao Xun hadn't swallowed a single drop of the medicine just now. Tuoba Shao grew anxious, picked up the bowl again, and continued feeding her, but the liquid still kept spilling from the corners of her lips.

Lin Lang fell to the ground once more, suddenly vomiting a mouthful of blood. He happened to land right beside Jiuer's feet. Lifting his gaze, he caught sight of that exceptionally familiar face beneath the hat's brim. Whatever crossed his mind drained every shred of color from his face, leaving it deathly pale. Without a word, he tried to turn and leave, but lacking the strength, he could only resort to crawling.

Hearing these words, Tuoba Shao slightly loosened his embrace around Xiao Xun, took a deep breath, and realizing he had been a bit too emotional just now, gently stroked Xiao Xun's hair. When his hand brushed against her cheek, he lowered his head slightly and kissed her lips. He didn't deepen the kiss, merely brushing against her lips in a tender and lingering caress.

Most individuals of the fourth rank and above already belonged to established teams, leaving only a handful of proud high-rank free agents. Among them, barely twenty people managed to gain entry.

Liu Baigui smiled and said to Third Grandma Huang: "Seeing you take in such an exceptional disciple makes my mouth water. I want a share of the spoils, too."

With these words, the two of them looked down at the magical array passageway beneath their feet, as scorching heat waves continuously washed over them.

Therefore, Gao Fei had already made up his mind that if worst came to worst, he would simply abandon this mission. If there was even a sliver of opportunity, he would fight for it and risk his life. However, the current sliver of opportunity lay out in the ocean, which introduced numerous uncertain variables; naturally, Gao Fei had no desire to throw his life away.

"So it's a Fire Qilin. No wonder it commands such a pure source of fire essence," Chen Ting muttered, his eyes narrowing slightly. Although this Fire Qilin possessed an imposing aura, its body was densely covered in sword scars, and nearly all its scales had shattered, exposing bone deep beneath.

For a moment, no one knew what to do. The situation was truly perilous for them, and they could find no viable way to escape. Yet, if they simply waited it out like this, certain death awaited them.

Zhuge Renxin roared at the top of his lungs. At that moment, he seemed to witness Long Pingfan being swallowed up by his own attack.

After the sound faded, the array remained unbroken, leaving Long Pingfan deeply shocked. Logically speaking, this was merely an ordinary treasure map located within the inner circle of the Nine Medicine Immortal Realm; protected by a formation, that formation shouldn't have been exceptionally powerful.
