Chapter 52: A Lingering Sense of Her Hidden Intentions

Xia Huanjiao cast a puzzled glance at the enormous serpent’s head, then sighed. She walked to the edge of the lake and reached out to stroke the scales, which seemed extraordinarily huge beside her.

Then, in her soft, childish voice, she said, “Did you really think I hadn’t realized that human cultivator was you?”

“Actually, we all recognized you. We simply chose not to say anything.”

The giant serpent listened in silence, as though pondering the meaning behind Xia Huanjiao’s words.

He was merely waiting for the colossal snake to make a mistake—or for the power of its outburst to diminish.

Ye Laisheng kicked Murong Fa away with a single blow. Wanting to end the battle swiftly, he pressed his advantage and pursued Murong Fa, preparing to deliver the final strike. Murong Fa was sent crashing into the shallows, and before he could rise, Ye Laisheng came after him with another kick. Blood burst from Murong Fa’s mouth.

Liu Yanming froze, clearly unaware of what those words meant. He did not ask further, however, merely wearing an expression that suggested he wanted to speak but could not bring himself to do so.

It had to be said that Li Haiya’s division of the formations was extremely useful. The formations transmitted to Su Chen’s mind by Gong Yuechan were rather disorganized, and whenever Su Chen wanted to inscribe one himself, he had to search through them first.

“I’m going to vanquish demons and exorcise evil spirits.” Thinking of the monsters and fiends he might encounter, Liu Mul ei encouraged himself and strode forward with determination.

Sometimes a single pill could be worth an entire year of cultivation. Some pills could even help one break through a bottleneck.

Qian Yun and the others followed Qiao Yang to the new drill ground the soldiers had found. It was exceptionally spacious, and the uniformly trimmed grass roots showed that the area had only recently been cleared. Mountains surrounded it on all four sides, providing excellent secrecy. It was an ideal place for training soldiers, and it was clear that they had taken great pains with it.

Although he did not cry out, the sharp intake of breath he had just made still roused Lin Xiaoxi.

After everyone finished playing at the End of the Earth, they boarded a coach and returned to the hotel. They would first put away their luggage and other belongings, then bring their swimsuits to the seaside the next day and go swimming.

She raised her head in surprise. It was a tall, broad-shouldered man dressed in black. Standing behind the boy, he reached out and took Su Man’s phone.

Battle-aura masters had ten ranks, and each rank was divided into ten tiers. Battle aura was distinguished by different colors: first tier, Green-Silk Battle Aura; second tier, Inner-Tested Battle Aura; third tier, Outer-Tested Battle Aura; fourth tier, Pale-Blue Battle Aura; fifth tier, Flame-Red Battle Aura; sixth tier, Pale-Yellow Battle Aura; seventh tier, Purple Battle Aura; eighth tier, Purple-Blue Battle Aura; ninth tier, Purple-Yellow Battle Aura; and tenth tier, Colorless Battle Aura.

Thus, he knew everything the butler did, every move he made. If the butler was behaving this way now, then something good must have happened.

“Are you sure I’ll actually be able to eat it? After all... things conjured from illusions generally can’t be eaten.”

“In our Mu family, a sinister poison has been passed down through the generations, along with a method of treating poison with poison,” the man said slowly.

Ji Shiqian merely gave her a cool glance. His thin lips parted, but before he could speak, Tong Xinyan’s smiling voice rang out.

“Stay. I need your help.”

At that moment, someone approached from outside the cell. She wore black knee-high boots and carried a long saber at her waist. Though the blade remained sheathed, it still radiated a terrifying chill.

Gou Xiaoxiao shoved Cindy inside, then swung her cleaver and hacked off a zombie’s head. This time, she felt no psychological burden whatsoever. It was just like chopping down monsters in a dark forest. When one’s heart was unburdened, one could strike much more cleanly and decisively. The man in the lead cast Gou Xiaoxiao an appreciative glance.

“I have something to say to you.”

Song Bin was startled by the severity of his voice and instinctively began to withdraw his hand.

She resented A Liulisi for acting on her own and attempting to assassinate Mo Nian. She was also somewhat troubled by the vague, almost imperceptible relationship between them. But what truly concerned her was Mo Nian’s attitude.

She understood that man far too well. That was why she knew about his hesitation and distress, and why she knew he was now making a decision.
