Chapter 31

The two concubines assumed he was merely playing a game with them; one demanded that the other crawl on the ground and bark like a dog, while the other insisted her rival mimic a cat, climb a tree, and leap down.
However, ever since they had reconciled, their time together had been remarkably pleasant. Deep down, the initial wariness and suspicion she felt had gradually faded, replaced by a sincere regard for her as an elder sister.
Previously, Changsun Xueying had mentioned that after his ascension to the heavens in broad daylight, Di Xin’s body and soul had been severely ravaged, leaving him nearly dead.
In truth, since returning to the Sea Clan, he did nothing but sleep.
The wild man glanced at him, and as he turned, the battle-axe in his hand was already positioned for an attack. He whistled to the Snow Wolf King and prepared to charge forward.
Dun’er had been so frightened that he was paralyzed; for a long while, he remained motionless and silent. No matter how his nurse begged or shook him, he simply stared blankly at Yang Yunxi.
Qian Jiyao felt a strange, unprecedented sense of peace settling in her heart. She found solace in his embrace—a feeling she did not dislike; in fact, she liked it immensely, more than she could express.
Wosheng looked at Huangfu Chen. The awakening of demonic power at Sky Fortress today could not be faked; Huangfu Chen was certainly no mere mortal.
Fan Zhuo’s words enlightened the others at Fenghua Academy. They realized that Fan Jin and Fan Qi indeed bore a striking resemblance, whereas Fan Zhuo looked nothing like Fan Qi.
Huo Sining was not one for explanations, nor would she lower herself to flatter someone of that character. After waiting three minutes and seeing the makeup artist had no intention of acknowledging her, she stopped lingering and turned toward the restroom.
Nangong Huang sighed. She had long known this was Yang Lin’s emotional knot. No matter how much she transformed or how powerful she became, she remained incredibly fragile whenever those painful memories were touched.
"This patient suffers from chest tightness, shortness of breath, and palpitations. His tongue is dark with stasis spots, and his pulse is thin and choppy. I believe his sharp chest pain—or perhaps angina—is caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis," Zhou Zixuan concluded, tentatively asking Liuli for her opinion.
Nawaki met the three pairs of admiring eyes with a calm expression, smiling as he said, "Protecting the peace of this country? What a magnificent conviction."
If Su Xin had been completely ignorant of this place before, she might have gone to see without hesitation whether these "strangers" were You Ping and Liao Ran.

Deng Da went to consult with Tong Sanling. Tong Sanling was busy building a funeral hall and stopped his work as soon as he saw Deng Da approaching.
Just like that, the army of over thirty thousand marched in perfect formation for an entire day, finally reaching Jialu Pass, sixty kilometers away, at noon the following day.
They were frustrated that they had been defeated by his bird, rather than by the man himself.
Seeing the main body of the mutated willow shielded by countless branches, Dian Wei had no choice but to give up his assault and switch to a defensive stance, hacking away at the willow branches that were constantly coiling around him.
As a holy army during wartime, they lacked the strict discipline of William’s forces. During this period of rest, they enjoyed relative freedom and had no training missions. Having heard the commotion, they wandered over out of curiosity to investigate.
Auke frowned slightly, noticing that some staff members were present, though it appeared a dispute was taking place.
The members of the Yun family sighed, rubbing their bruised limbs. They wanted to say something, but upon seeing the state of the third master’s family, they swallowed their words. Just as they were about to disperse, the second aunt of the Yun family arrived, accompanied by Caiyun and Caiyue, carrying armfuls of silk quilts, bed curtains, and soft pillows.
Feeling Ye Qianfeng’s tenderness, Han Lingyu, who had basically returned to her normal state, murmured softly.
Gu Yue and the others knew that Xia Qi was looking for a solution, so they did not disturb him, choosing instead to meditate quietly and strengthen their cultivation.
A "Dead Soul" and a "Drunken Indulgence"—both were top-tier figures in this game. Their addition to Liu Yu’s NGP team had multiplied the team’s strength several times over.
Song Ruohu did not answer; she turned away and began to cry loudly, putting on a pitiful act of being deeply wronged, yet too intimidated to speak up.
Yu Ruoqin glanced at Liu Yu, surprised—and perhaps a little shy—at his bold behavior.
"It’s fine, such an injury doesn't affect me at all," Gu Tian said with great composure, deeply moved by his brother’s protection.
Long Yu felt no attachment to anything here. The only thing he couldn't quite let go of was the young woman he had met just yesterday. Walking slowly out of the courtyard, he left in a straightforward manner. He encountered no obstacles along the way, and Ru Hua did not appear.

Because there were no open auditions, they sought out young actors in the industry who had already appeared in two or three productions and possessed some level of experience. Given the nature of adapting games into television dramas, older, seasoned actors were generally unwilling to take on such unserious subject matter.
What kind of grudge or enmity could have caused Taeyeon to exert such effort? True to the saying that one becomes careless when overconfident, he, who had held the upper hand the entire time, had stumbled at the very last moment.
"Old Zhou, it’s alright. You should quickly find someone to deal with it, so as to stop people from gossiping," Yang Xuantong patted his hand, helping him steady his emotions.
If everyone’s technical scores were similar and the contract wasn't awarded to the lowest bidder, the winner would surely be accused of corruption.
"The situations in the other three great kingdoms are much like that of the Central Kingdom. They each have their own churches, and these churches enjoy absolute authority over faith within their borders. The only differences lie in their strength and their specific attributes."
Upon hearing this, Gu Cheng knew that today’s meeting had been well-arranged. Of all the people present, the one with the least confidence was Lei Jun, the very person upon whom the task had been placed.
"Fei Junshuai, pull yourself together. Tell me, what exactly is happening right now?" Ning Xiangyun asked.
Rabbit-eared Jiarella took out an iron box, which concealed a T-virus serum in a glass vial and an envelope stamped with a crossed-sword seal.
In the courtyard, only Cui Niang remained, lying unconscious on the ground, along with the trembling Hong Kui, the panicked Bai Zhi, the vengeful-eyed Xiang Gui, and the dazed Qing Liu.
Before Tai Shou Yilin could finish her sentence, a blue world suddenly expanded, engulfing the entire game world.
