They could establish a connection with the giant scorpion through this talisman treasure and see things from its perspective.
As soon as the Minister saw Liuxing, he leaned in close. Then, he immediately delivered a remark of shocking impact.
He tried to wrench the precious sword from Ye Tian’s grip, but no matter how much strength he exerted, he could not advance even a fraction.
This Furong always seemed to be leading him toward that ancient tomb, intentionally or unintentionally. Could it be that this old man they called the Hall Master was also after that tomb?
Li Yumeng walked over to Elder Li with a conflicted expression, pulled him aside, and cast a furtive glance at Tang Hao.
Who could have predicted that this scrawny student’s body would harbor such immense power?
With one strike, she severed an arm of the Wood Spirit, but Ye Xin’er suffered a backlash and spat out a mouthful of blood. The veil covering her face fluttered away, revealing a beauty that was peerless.
Ergou gripped his severed right arm tightly; his wound had already been eroded by blood-red baleful energy.
After asking, Ye Xiuzhu realized something was wrong, for after he spoke, Shen Chu fell silent. It was completely quiet. Ye Xiuzhu just wanted to knock himself on the head—how could he have been so anxious that he asked such an ill-timed question?
Only he knew in his heart that he was merely acting. Without the help of the system, if a real fight broke out, he would certainly be no match for so many of them. Therefore, he could only rely on his aura to intimidate them.
Under Fan Jin’s glare, the legs of the freshmen who had just entered Fenghua Academy began to tremble.
Lady Cui sighed in her heart. She should have just sent someone to deliver a message to Prince Duan earlier; then she wouldn’t be feeling so uneasy now.

Furthermore, Lady Zhou and Yun Lian were reconciling the previous month’s expenses. Yun Lian had become quite an expert at managing the household, and Lady Zhou had left almost everything to her. Yet, she was meticulous in her work, and at the beginning of every month, she would report the previous month’s accounts to her parents. She was extremely thorough.
The Empress Dowager gestured toward Mingzhu: "You may excuse yourself. I am tired and wish to rest." After saying this, she truly ignored everything else and lay down quietly.
"Hmph, I know he is your companion beast, so the moment he appears, you have eyes only for him and can no longer see me." Yan Jiufeng huffed in annoyance, her tone dripping with jealousy.
"What do you intend to do?" Xuanyuan Mu turned his head, looked at Gu Changsheng, and asked with a puzzled expression.
Fang Ye knew that without him, Shenshan Zhengyi would not only be unable to walk away from his grief but would continue to bury his own noble aspirations for the sake of his ideals.
He had endured to such a point, disregarding gain or loss and seeking no reward, only to be pressed so hard—how could he possibly tolerate this?
"I will ask one last time: do you agree or not? If you are willing to exchange conditions, I will start treating the old man right now. If not, let’s not waste everyone’s time, and I will leave immediately." Li Jiye was quite decisive and issued an ultimatum.
This bronze statue had numerous sand holes, and the white color of the mountain was exposed on it. Clearly, a small amount of silver and a touch of gold had been added, but because the furnace temperature at the time was insufficient, so many sand holes had formed on the statue.
Bathed in the light of the oil lamp, An’an’s skin was as white as snow, her features like a painting, possessing a unique, calm, and gentle beauty.
It seemed as if she were apologizing, and yet as if she were pouring out her heart. It felt as if Himegishi Yukina was in great pain at this moment; being caught between the two sides was a torture for her. Unfortunately, there were too many reasons, and even if she were unwilling, she had to obey orders.
Seeing Ishida Shin beside him again, Chen Jie slapped his oily, shiny face, grabbed him by the collar, and, amidst Ishida Shin’s terrified gaze, slowly but forcefully lifted him up.
Ye Yin knit his brows. Looking at that hand resting on Ye Lian’s shoulder, a sense of inexplicable displeasure welled up in his heart.

Now that they heard Zhang Ling was the mistress and had used her child to climb the social ladder, Uncle Qin was truly angry.
The waiter looked at her a few extra times. Such a big star, and a second-generation wealthy heir at that—what reason could she have to mingle with the people in that private room?
"Ah Hua, Ah Jing, hurry and notify your father and A-Hang. Tell them to come back immediately." After the initial shock, Old Lady Ye steadied her mind and said repeatedly.
"Senior Brother, organize all the courtyards on Spirit Mountain. Some are for guests, and we should reserve a few for those of us who travel frequently," Meng Xuan thought for a moment and said to Bai Yu.
The tree full of pink blossoms dazzled their eyes; as the wind blew, peach blossoms drifted down, creating a breathtakingly beautiful sight.
All the hyenas surrounded Gu Ren joyfully, their eyes filled with greed, saliva dripping from their mouths.
As one guest after another, whether familiar or strange, arrived and learned of their backgrounds, those among them who were naturally lively and had been wandering around looking for food and drink upon arrival dared not walk around casually anymore. They sat together in groups, stiff and formal, feeling deeply insecure.
Coupled with his innate hatred for the Federation, looking across the entire nine-star Federation and its vast expanse of star systems, was there truly no place for him to stand?
A tingling sensation spread through his body, and he could not move a muscle. He opened his mouth to speak, only to find that he could not produce a single sound from his throat.
