Such a big young man and you don't even know how to wash dishes. Tomorrow you won't even be able to get a wife!

Gu Yao returned to the hotel, took a quick shower, and fell heavily asleep on the bed.

Not knowing how long she had slept, she was half-awakened in a daze by the vibration of her phone lying beside her pillow.

She groggily answered the call. It was from Han Lindong, inviting her over to his house for dinner that evening.

Gu Yao agreed verbally. After hanging up, she lay on the bed for another ten minutes before getting up to change her clothes.

Originally, Han Lindong had wanted her to stay at his place, but because of her aunt and Han Meng...

"I will call the old gentleman immediately, do not worry," Ning Fuchen said softly, looking at Mu Yongting's rapid breathing.

Several helicopters flew out from downtown San Francisco, heading toward the striking light source hovering over the offshore waters.

Wang Jin continued pushing forward. Just as he felt someone was about to collide with him, he pulled back—James surged past, and Wang Jin successfully evaded what would have been a sure interception by James.

Even if his body somehow managed to avoid such tearing, his willpower could never endure that level of agony; destruction would remain his only outcome.

Regardless of everything else, one thing was certain now: during the teleportation, it seemed he had reverted to that previous portal state, walking out from it and separating from the people of Blue Star.

After seeing off Xiao Xiyang, the next grandest event in the capital was the posting of the imperial examination results. The heart that had initially settled due to Chu Xizhi's assurance once again stirred with anxiety.

Today, Long Haitian's bottleneck in transforming his elixir into a nascent soul gave him profound insights. Without a robust physique and superhuman willpower, attaining the Great Dao was impossible.

Having inadvertently stumbled into the black door and remaining obsessed with extraordinary power, they had only a single path left before them.

By now, he finally accepted the reality: this was, as the boss had described, another world.

"This..." The elderly official looked toward Yan Canglan. Ten hours was indeed enough for the downstream residents to evacuate, but could such words truly be trusted?

"Shuhu, it should be a spiritual entity transformed from a demonic sword, specifically the Emperor Demon Blood Sword. Sword Mountain once paid respects to the Master of Sword Villa. I wonder how it compares in sharpness to the Haotian Precious Sword," Ji Chen asked Shuhu.

"Hmph, if you do not trust me, then let us cancel our cooperation. Without you, I can still go and seize the Samsara Scroll," Jiang Sijia said to Dan Lingzi.

This could also be considered a prolonged session of cultivation, Qiu Xuan smiled faintly. Such training stretching across thousands of miles was something Qiu Xuan had never attempted before, so he decided to experience it this time.

"Stop flattering me. Now, I charge you with a task that you must execute properly. Remember, failure of the plan is of no consequence, but do not leave a single trace of evidence behind," Donghuang Taiyi instructed Xiao Lü.

The pained Gyarados opened its wide mouth, and waves of frigid wind poured forth rapidly from its jaws, assaulting the Murkrow.

Jinya's movement made Mu Yi, who had already walked some distance away, feel a chill down his spine—a sensation as though he were being targeted by some unseen entity.

Seeing this, Zhou Tian hesitated for a brief moment before walking over under the numerous peculiar gazes.

Facing the incoming figure, Zhou Tian was much calmer this time. With a low shout, he rapidly changed his hand seals, true Qi churning and surging over his fingers, condensing in the blink of an eye into two true Qi seals upon which ferocious Black Tortoise beasts coiled.

Seeing the Arcanine struck, Paul not only showed no nervousness but instead revealed an excited expression. Paul knew that anyone who could make it into the top sixteen relied either on luck or genuine strength, and now he too had to unleash his full power for the battle.

Not wanting to waste this opportunity, Desreum bade farewell to the other two Dark Four Heavenly Kings and departed, while Mephilas-seijun cast a pitying gaze at this impatient fellow.

"Boom." A dozen breaths after hearing a piece of intelligence, the fierce battle aura and murderous intent that had accumulated on Guan Yu erupted outward for a fleeting instant due to the sudden surge of shock and anger in his heart.
