Chapter 33

The hedgehog, having shed all its quills, now resembles a piglet, its round belly looking quite comical. This was partly due to Qi Qi’s temperament, which often invited trouble, and partly because she was on her period, which significantly hampered her spellcasting. Nearby, the beetle that had been frozen in ice was still delusionally attempting to break free, its sharp, blade-like legs scraping against the ice and emitting a grating sound. It must be said that the Heaven-Connecting Spirit Dew is truly miraculous; a single drop possesses the power to reshape the world and reverse creation. Director Zhang, recalling Ye Xiu’s extraordinary performance the day before while resuscitating Old Man Li after his sudden cerebral infarction, felt even more confident in him. The roof was covered in thick snow, and long icicles hung from the eaves—everything felt primitive yet intimate. Qi Yue’s voice turned perplexed and low; clearly, this state of Qing Ling was not what they had hoped to see. Only later did I realize that the Dog Demon King was tethered by a chain, unable to stray too far from the cave entrance. I wonder which great deity possessed such divine power to bind the Dog Demon King. The Lingxiao War Chariot transformed into a stream of light, catching Ling Tian in an instant, and the three of them embraced with excitement. With a thunderous boom, the black-clad assassin, no longer able to hold on, perished on the spot, utterly obliterated by the Great Emperor Cangqiong. Those two elders were truly clueless; they had been hired to stir up trouble, following the standard routine of crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide. But since the boss had offered compensation, they decided to hear him out. Within that grayish-black mist, it seemed as if pairs of malicious and resentful eyes were staring fixedly at him, as if they wanted to drag him into the mist to tear him apart and devour him. At this moment, uniform footsteps echoed from outside the private room. Qing Long glanced at Liu Heng, and seeing no reaction, walked over to open the door. Cthulhu’s expression turned chillingly cold in an instant, his ruddy face almost darkening. "I know this naturally," Yan Hong said, his thoughts turned inward. The masked man often could not discern his intentions, so he ceased speaking.

"Only forty yuan!" Chu Tianqi stared at Li Xiuxiu, speechless. She was bold indeed; having just arrived in Dongyuan County, this rural girl dared to try and swindle people. Well, one could hardly call it a swindle when one was willing to buy and the other was willing to sell. Upon hearing Su Mei’s words, Xu Rulong was also shocked. He could not have imagined such a powerful potion existed in this world; it was simply priceless, and its emergence on the market would surely trigger a frenzy of competition. It was like Zhai Bufan just now, flicking the dagger away with his finger without using much force. Any of them could have exerted that much strength, but none possessed that level of precise control or the ruthless eye to anticipate the enemy’s moves. Whenever a point of light was touched, that vibrant star would be vaporized by the terrifying heat. When the nanny came to call Chu Tianxing, she was lying on the bed, stroking her still-flat stomach and dreaming of her future marriage into the He family. In her eyes, the He family held more power than the Chu or Zhou families; while the latter two only had influence in Jiangtian, the He family was entrenched in the capital. With a dedicated escort, entering and exiting was easy, and one could even tell that the police station had been cleared for them. Thus, the sight of Tao Yao, wearing a flower garland and riding a horse, looked ridiculous no matter how one viewed it. When Zhan Peilin arrived at the hospital, Zhan Rou was sitting on the steps, face buried in her hands, sobbing softly. Ye Qingcheng and Jun Feiyu arrived under the cold moonlight and found the hut door ajar. Just as she was about to step inside, a wisp of thin smoke drifted from the room and slowly dissipated. He said nothing, his affectionate gaze locked onto her. His fingers brushed from her lips to her chin, then slid to her collarbone, finally resting on her rounded shoulder, where he hooked the thin strap of her dress with just two fingers. A fan’s reply broke the silence, and the message box, which had never been uniform, suddenly began to align. Just as she was about to say something, she looked up to see Ye Jingshan winking at her with an "you know what I mean" expression. Furthermore, Ji Zihe had an innate aversion to the deathly aura of the Wild Ghosts—a fact that could not be changed. The first floor contained the essence of heaven and earth, purified and accumulated over the years by the Dragon Pattern Secret Order, available for the host to use. Just as Jiang Biehe secretly rose and reached the corner of the wall, everyone else’s attention remained on Wang Zhen and Yaoyue, and they did not notice him.

Within the palace, Tongtian sat in a place of honor, with Zhong Ling, Mu Wanqing, Wang Yuyan, and Li Qinglu seated on the left. On the right were Duan Yu, Qiao Feng, and A Zhu. Saeko watched the two looking at each other with curiosity and immediately became vigilant. She ran to Yaoyue and hugged him tightly, as if asserting her claim over him. "That’s right, if the leader’s time were to be stopped, it would be disastrous if he were attacked," Sazexes nodded. In the mortal realm, those with the Five-Spirit Body appear only once every few decades, and although the ghost realm is populous, there are few with the Yin-Fire Body. As for those who have reached the Ghost King realm, only the Fire Ghost King exists. If Yagami Kyo had not spoken, no one would have known that he had used Armament Haki to neutralize Enel’s elemental lightning form. The audience below cheered; his swordsmanship was exquisite. Such fluid and graceful technique was truly a pleasure to watch. In the blink of an eye, Ling’s hands had cycled through three powerful Yin-Yang incantations, mastering one of each of the three’s unique skills. Chen Jinnan had not expected Chu Yuan to recognize him, and he was slightly stunned before bowing in return. His etiquette was flawless, leaving no room for criticism; he was indeed the grandmaster of the Heaven and Earth Society, a man who truly transcended the mundane. Although he did not know Lu Qing’s identity, since the other party could intimidate Xia He, one of the Four Madnesses of Quanxing, he was clearly no ordinary person. Mid-air, the electric ball transformed into a web, seemingly intent on covering both Charizard and Gardevoir. Staraptor reacted swiftly; after narrowly dodging the energy ball, its entire body erupted with brilliant light, as if it were engulfed in flames. "As for the gold and silver rewards from the provincial government, there is no need for Brother Song to mention them again. For a martial arts genius like Brother Jiang, I expect only martial arts classics could catch your eye," Song Quan said with a knowing look. After the Vision Hunt Decree began, the shogunate’s superior samurai confiscated his Vision under the pretext of non-compliance. Originally, this was nothing, but a few days later, he was harassed by some paupers who believed Kiyonosuke had embezzled their relief grain.
