After hearing the cafeteria supervisor’s words, I stared at him for several seconds, turning them over in my mind. Suddenly, everything became clear.

“Hey, blond hunk, if that monster isn’t a qilin, then what is it?” As long as it was human, Xing Fei was not afraid. He lowered his voice as he asked, afraid that speaking too loudly might disturb the sacred beast qilin above them.

From then on, March Snow stopped speaking. No one knew what she was thinking. Baili Nuyun knew there was something strange about it, but could only bury the matter in his heart and refrain from asking.

Time passed second by second. The room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, while several people examined the black-clad figure on the floor with curious eyes.

“You! If you have the guts, come at me! What kind of skill is it to do nothing but defend? Do you dare take one punch from me?” Cai Yong had been enraged by Ye Feng’s bland, indifferent expression. He had basked in success for so many years, only to run into a wall today, and his confidence had suffered a severe blow. Not one of his attacks had managed to hit Ye Feng.

Ye Feng, however, immediately began considering what kind of pill he should refine. In the end, he followed the idea he had formed while gathering herbs and began preparing to refine it.

For an entire day, Ye Feng worked on fusion. With the aid of the spirit pill’s power, he even employed the counter-heaven aura as a medium for recovery.

At that very moment, the City Lord’s eldest son arrived outside Golden Gathering Hall with a group of city guards. Two hundred fully armed cavalrymen stood in perfect formation, their presence evoking the clash of weapons and the thunder of war. The weakest among them were Martial Masters, while even the strongest had reached only the fifth rank.

Yijian held Ye Feng in his arms and faced more than a dozen opponents in the Out-of-Body realm. Nearby, two old men hurriedly used their mental power to repair the wounds in Zhao Tuxin’s spirit.

Qian Qingxi fixed her eyes on the mask covering the man’s face. Flecks of light shimmered in her seductive, almond-shaped eyes. The skin of his chin, exposed beneath the mask, was somewhat pale, and faint beads of cold sweat could be seen tracing their way across his brow.

Yueli was led along by Shixun. He did not say a word as they walked forward, and no one knew where he intended to take her.

When Xiao Lin took off her clothes and flung them aside, the two thousand yuan in her pocket accidentally fell out and landed at Xie Xueshang’s feet.

Yet no one at the scene could answer their questions. The only senior officers who knew the truth did not dare reveal it, fearing that it would damage the troops’ morale.

But just as I was about to return to town, I saw Lei Mingxuan, gravely wounded and unconscious. At the time, her body was covered in wounds and soaked in blood. As a child, I was utterly terrified by the sight. Even so, I forced down my fear and carried her home.

“Cough, cough. Linfeng, although you two know each other, I still don’t think it is appropriate to go easy on someone during a match.” Linyuan suddenly appeared behind Linfeng and said this.

So, after accepting the money, he set off with Erpang, Zhengzhong, and Cui Wei, escorting Jiang Yuan back to Ningzhou. Along the way, they made indirect inquiries and discovered that Jiang Yuan knew nothing about the Immortal Willow. It seemed that the matter had occurred after she arrived in Jiang County.

When Empress Rui heard of this, she was so frightened that her limbs went weak, terrified that the Ning family would seek revenge. She immediately sent Feng Bu to the residence of Ning Shizhen to offer reassurance, and had Rui Chaoli invite Ning Hui out with a generous reward to speak on her behalf, urging Ning Shizhen to put the greater good first and endure the humiliation.

Then there was the vanguard army’s ammunition. Those twenty million rounds were an enormous advantage for an empire suffering from a shortage of resources.

“Let me explain. When military commanders are planning a campaign, they do not need to wear armor. We are conducting a tabletop exercise today; it is an assignment given to us by His Majesty. Armor is unnecessary on such an occasion.” Wang Shian, Deputy Grand Commander of the Left Army, was a steady and sensible man. Seeing that the dispute was becoming irreconcilable, he deliberately tried to mediate.

Earlier, Ning Shiqin had sent Li De’an to Fengxiang to prepare an expedition against Hanzhong, but the plan was abandoned when the Turks invaded southward. Ning Shiqin felt that Li De’an was overly cautious, fought in a rigid and conventional manner, and would never employ a surprise attack.

“Hmph, you’re still trying to deceive us? You even gave her a token of love!” Si Yuhan’s face was cold as she gestured toward the Deep Blue Heart hanging around Binglan’s neck.

After losing two matches, a contestant would be eliminated outright. Mi Dou had already lost the first match and could not afford a second defeat.

For example, Mo Liu might fight an opponent using all his immense strength, but if the opponent’s strength exceeded his own, he would ultimately be forced backward. This was said to be a restriction imposed by the system, but in truth, the attributes in the game could also be compared to the body’s physical strength in reality.

Numerous intelligent surveillance devices had been installed around the base, while several teams took turns patrolling the area. Everything within a radius of one kilometer was under control.

Her expression was always stern. Even before Feng Dao, Shuang Jian, and the others closest to her, she rarely smiled. She handled matters decisively and acted with swift, ruthless efficiency.

He instinctively stepped in front of Gong Qiner, his expression proud and defiant, his icy gaze meeting the might of the Nascent Soul cultivator head-on.

The immense power of the Ice Soul entered the Yin-attribute dantian, instantly causing the energy within it to surge. The balance among the nine great dantians was shattered, and for a time, all nine descended into utter chaos.

Although the Flying Cloud Guards were Xiao Tianhe’s personal escort, they were soldiers at heart. Xiao Tianhe therefore gave them no special privileges. They did not remain in the military camp during ordinary days, but they never neglected the required training. In fact, their training was even more intense.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning tore across the sky. Like a sharp blade cleaving the heavens, it was followed by a rumble of thunder, as though ten thousand war chariots were crushing across the earth. The thunder shook heaven and earth.
