24 Library Confession Challenge (4)

"It hurts, sure, but the moment I think about how I once carried the Sage of Rain, who shocked the entire continent, I know that when I return to the Holy Radiance Continent and brag to my former roommates, they’ll be green with envy. That thought alone makes the pain vanish," Jiang Hai said, pretending to be relaxed while enduring the dual agony of body and soul.

The blizzard in the frozen wilderness grew fiercer. Sharp snowflakes raked against Qin Yang’s protective barrier, which had already begun to show several cracks. Helpless, Elder Feng had to struggle alongside the remaining cultivators of the Deep Blue Alliance, praying every moment for Elder Ma to arrive and rescue them.

"I don't think I can make it. I've been away from home for four or five days already. If I don't go back, my parents will be worried sick," Zhou Yi said distressedly. He was currently fretting over how to cook up a lie for his parents once he got home.

"While you're still young, you should spend these eighteen years finding a few men to date. A youth without a bit of romance is wasted, but now that you’ve come back, you’ve completely disrupted the life I had planned for us," Xing'er said with immense grievance.

"Her?" Yun Ruoxi's words made Feng Li increasingly fearful, as if he had lost the most precious thing in his life.

Although Liu Siyuan was very puzzled as to why Zhou Yi needed such a large number of computer experts, he understood that computers and the internet would occupy an important position in future commerce, so he followed Zhou Yi’s instructions accordingly.

After repelling Xuan Wuzi, Qin Yang withdrew the mountain-protecting formation for the many cultivators who were already capable of undergoing the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. Those at the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm began, one after another, to face their ordeals.

For Qin Yang and his group to break through the blockade of the Black Spirit Giants and enter the Ice Nether Abyss, they required the cooperation of the cultivators already trapped within.

"What? Two masked men in black are dueling with your master above the lake?" Yan Beifei was so startled that his phone nearly slipped from his hand.

Upon learning that Han Ning was on his way, he immediately went to the front gate and opened it. To prevent his mother from wandering off or villagers from coming to disturb them, he usually kept the house locked.

And so, as they burst into laughter, the scene instantly turned into an ocean of joy. Looking at the four beauties in the office now, they were all brimming with energy, each eager to "flip the script" and transform from supporting roles into leads, which made their revelry all the more vigorous.

For instance, two years ago, when she surrendered herself to Tang Ka to save her ex-boyfriend Zhang Jiaqing, she was shocked by his nature—half-angel by day and half-demon by night. What truly moved her heart and eventually made her fall for him uncontrollably was the warm cup of soy milk he had brought her.

Han Ning had left the car door open when he got out earlier. As soon as this person spoke, a young man reached into the car to pull the key from the ignition.

Now, Qin Mu had no other options; he had no choice but to seek help from the Three Thousand Great Daos within his Immortal Pouch. Among the Three Thousand Great Daos, there were many hidden secret arts, and Qin Mu wanted to search them out to see if any could lend him a helping hand.

However, what was unexpected was that the old man actually held shares in the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, which was quite a surprise.

Zhang Kun toyed with the three chips in his hand, and after the dealer finished shaking the bell, he casually placed the 100,000-chip on "Big."

Lin Shuo didn't wait long before Liu Ming flew over, dragging a disciple of the Flame Dragon Sword Sect with him.

"He said himself that he's fine, and he has a security detail with him at all times, so there's no need to worry about his safety," Wang Caiying said.

The sun was high, scattered with patches of white clouds, and the sky was as blue as if it had been washed—truly a wonderful day.

She feigned anger and turned to look out the window, ignoring Gu Chen, though she kept a close watch on his movements from the corner of her eye.

But the Lake Immortal wasn't having it. His hair could not extend too far out of the lake, so he manifested a wall of water to block their path.

The Demon Eye opened fully, its purple iris emitting a trace of violet light. When Jun Yan perceived this flicker of purple, he couldn't help but feel dizzy—a sign of being poisoned. He hurriedly activated the Golden Blue Spirit Flame he had prepared, which made him feel slightly better.

Living beings with potential were those capable of entering the Land of Inversion. As for whether that potential would prove useful once they arrived, that depended entirely on the individual.

An ancient pine stood alone among the rocks ahead, far from the dense jungle, as if it disdained to associate with such common timber.

One was a burly man covered in tinea, and after two drinks, every patch of fungus on his face looked like a shiny copper coin.

Another had hair tied in a bun with a piece of linen cloth—a strip that should have been brownish-yellow, but had turned black, and no one knew how long it had been since it was last washed or changed.

The black cat was overjoyed, raising its paw as the broadsword merged into its palm. The cat’s happy eyes even welled up with tears.

"The King of Wu and the King of Qi may have reached some kind of agreement and are very likely to join forces. Furthermore, the King of Wu might have guessed that Sun Ce's death was related to us!" Liu Qi said.

Hua Jiu had lost count of how many times she had been shocked into unconsciousness. Even if the Li-Hua cat didn't come out to take over her body, she would still be injured by the lightning carried by the Sword Intent Wisteria within her sea of consciousness.

This discovery left her best friend both shocked and envious. Since when could those in the support department stand face-to-face with danger alongside the mecha department?

These thoughts flashed through his mind, stirring a deep sense of unease in his heart. Thus, when Gu Jueqing lifted that bowl of osmanthus porridge, he snatched it away almost without a second thought.

With matters having progressed to this point, everyone was clear that this was all the work of the femme fatale.

Many of the master chefs in the Imperial City came from the same academy, a place specifically established to cultivate culinary talent.

Sitting in the seats reserved for the Chu Poison family, Chu Ningyin watched the figure in pink robes flitting across the ring, as graceful as a startled wild goose, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.

"Fine! You said it yourself. Whenever you can come up with a strategy that satisfies Me, I will rescind the marriage engagement between you and the Seventh Princess!" the Emperor suddenly declared.

It was one thing for one person to say it, but when all the demon clans said the same, and other factions began to believe it, a rumor started to spread through S City: a powerful, "pig-playing-the-tiger" tycoon had arrived, extremely ruthless, and it was best not to provoke him.

Although the people of Xiliang were bold and fiery, the fact that she so bluntly expressed her fondness for Xie Tinglan and suggested he become the consort was still a shock to everyone.
