The Moe King gave a soft squeak, then swam behind a reef where there were no other star beasts and spat out a star card. In a flash of light, Octopus Guy appeared.

Wu Yong was still somewhat skeptical. What Liu Chengfeng had described sounded simple, but putting it into practice would be extremely troublesome.

If it truly worked that way, all the skills on his star cards would awaken at the very beginning, while the enemy’s star cards would have only one skill each.

A rustling sound came from inside the room, followed immediately by the scraping noise of a chair being dragged across the floor.

Pei Xingjian could not help giving a bitter laugh. He instinctively raised a hand and shut off the faucet, but just as he was about to stand, his head suddenly began to spin. Almost reflexively, he braced himself against the sink and vigorously shook his head.

Xue Nuo sent him a message. It seemed that she had waited for a long time without seeing Lu Ming arrive at the guild, so she had finally contacted him.

Something like this was so outrageously infuriating that it was almost unbearable. Of course, if one could not see it, then it would be an entirely different matter.

While everyone else was lost in their own thoughts, Luo Feng’s attention remained fixed on the Blood Asura.

Several thousand people had inflicted more than ten thousand casualties in a very short time. If there had been even more of them, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

At that moment, outside the inn, a figure dressed in black night clothes suddenly appeared. His gaze swept over the rooms where Chen Zheng and the others were staying. Then he left and returned to report the news to his master.

Upon hearing that the singing left no aftereffects, Xu Yun naturally had no intention of foolishly warning Alice. Letting her lose herself in such music without a care was a good thing. He himself could not surrender to it even if he wished to; perhaps that was his punishment—the punishment for possessing such a powerful soul.

Of course, Pskov had nothing to do with the Teutonic Kingdom. The affairs of the Livonian Federation, however, were closely bound to it. After all, only a few decades ago, Livonia had still belonged to the Teutonic Kingdom. Now it had broken away and become larger and wealthier than its former suzerain.

Zhu Daniu stopped beneath the enormous jujube tree. He first looked up into its branches, then down at the ground, yet said nothing and made no move. He merely stood there motionless, seemingly deep in thought.

These forces, which consisted of nearly sixty or seventy percent of the elite troops throughout Hokkaido, were all annihilated by Han Le with a casual wave of his hand.

Xiao Chang gave no reply. He merely nodded, then watched as Xiao Yan led Xun’er and the others away before turning and leaving as well.

Great Xia had replaced the Ming dynasty. The implementation of its land policies, along with the purge of corrupt merchants and local gentry, instantly reduced the smuggling-based handicrafts of Jiangnan to their original state. More importantly, Ying Yi had no plans for foreign trade for the time being. Great Xia was still recovering from years of devastation, and the people were rapidly growing wealthier, yet even domestic demand remained far from satisfied. How could there be any talk of overseas trade?

“What kind of enormous hand is this? Who, exactly, is behind it?” Wu Cheng shouted inwardly.

When Xu Yun entered, the administrative hall—which had previously been filled with conversation—fell abruptly silent. After all, he was the one who held the knife used to divide the spoils.

“Nolan Bushnell, do you know what you’re saying?” Ray Casar roared, his eyes blazing with fury.

Han Le had been drinking tea inside the room. Upon hearing this, he merely smiled, unsurprised. After a moment’s thought, he went outside.

Li Fengjue opened Ye Shaochen’s phone. There was not much stored inside, but everything on it appeared to involve confidential matters.

As she spoke, Su Mianmian lowered her head, looking as though she were saying, “I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have deceived you.”

Yet if Li Ling were asked to reveal that she had crossed over from another world, she was unwilling to say it.

It seemed there was some hidden complication behind the matter. Whatever it was, however, Hou Zhenzhu no longer had the time to scheme against her.

After they came out, Ye Lingxiao also gave him a detailed account of Liu Minxuan and Liu Minsheng’s identities.

Ye Muba looked at her. Under ordinary circumstances, as her husband, he should have given her a good-morning kiss. Yet when he looked at her face, he found that he could not bring himself to kiss her.

Many people went to argue with the security guards and nearly came to blows, but the police arrived soon afterward. The crowd could only settle down and no longer dared to cause trouble.

Gu Ze’s gaze rested quietly on her face. After a long while, he still rose and went to prepare breakfast.

It was the old woman’s habit. Every year, on Xu Zijin’s birthday, she would personally cook him a bowl of noodles, and this year was no exception.

Luo Wangding waddled along on his fat-pig-like body. If he had not been dressed so fashionably, he would truly have resembled Zhu Bajie from Journey to the West. He always stuck out his enormous belly and insisted on walking at the very front of the group, making himself impossible to miss.

When Luo Lin saw Yang Qiao’er run into his room, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The awkward scene had been temporarily resolved, but what was he supposed to do next?

Ye Su followed Dongjin Re to the central building in the settlement of the Highborn Clan. It was also the largest building there.

The Emperor placed the greatest importance on rules. If he found out, he would certainly reprimand him. Looking around in panic, he spotted Xiao Zhen nearby.

“Perhaps. But do we really have time to worry about that now?” Lu Xingyue said, furtively glancing around as though she were studying the layout of the area.

Jiang Yao studied the symbols in the diagram, then shifted his gaze to the square symbol surrounding the skeleton monster in the area marked “Seven-Star Soul-Binding Formation.” Suddenly, an idea struck him.

He raised his head and surveyed the strange stone cavern surrounding the underground grotto, where rows of greenwood coffins had been arranged. An ominous premonition gradually rose within him.

Feng Feng narrowed his eyes and continued examining the scene. Faintly, he seemed to hear an incongruous sound coming from somewhere.
