Chapter 63: The reason... is of course for you!

When Gu Yao and Lu Zheng emerged from the private dining room hand in hand, they bumped straight into Ming Lang standing out in the corridor.

He had appeared out of nowhere, completely unannounced.

Gu Yao pulled her hand free from Lu Zheng's grip, self-consciously rubbing her wrist, which still retained his warmth. Her mind had been entirely occupied by those few people moments ago, causing her to overlook Lu Zheng's gesture entirely. Now that she was acutely aware of it, a wave of awkwardness washed over her.

Xia Guofang was so terrified that cold sweat poured down his back. His original plan was to let those five black men take care of Ling Chamei and the others before he finally made his entrance.

Chu Yingying's voice trembled slightly as she leaned closer toward Bai Henqiu, reaching out to grab his sleeve.

That same night, after finishing his shower and stepping out of the restroom, Liu Feng looked at Dark Night, Bai Henqiu, and the others waiting outside and suddenly spoke.

"No need to be nervous~ I happened to have some business to discuss in person with the Academy Director today. It was only after arriving in Kagoshima that I learned a junior whom I hold in high regard would also be visiting. Since such a coincidence is nothing short of fate, I am here drinking tea with the Director, waiting to meet you."

Hearing Shao Yitian's twisted logic, Bai Qi knew he could never best him in an argument, so he hurriedly grabbed Gu Qingxue and pulled her away.

People of other races could also stray onto the demonic path, yet the demon race possessed an innate superiority within it, as though the path of evil had been custom-tailored entirely for them.

Liu Feng said with a smile. He felt a strong sense of affinity for this child, finding her utterly adorable.

For Ye Xuan, this journey to Fengwei Mountain had yielded not only a surge in power, but also the mindset of a true powerhouse. A genuine expert looks down upon the nine heavens with supreme pride.

He glanced at Brother Dao, whose cultivation had already reached the mid-Stage of Foundation Establishment. To ordinary mortals, such a realm was nothing short of divine.

Mingxuan circulated his inner energy through full cycles, one after another. The surrounding wind and snow were gradually pushed outward by the undulations of his power, forming a protective barrier that naturally deflected the gale. The space within the sphere even appeared faintly distorted, though Mingxuan himself was entirely unaware of it.

Seeing Gu Qingyan brought back to life, Lin Chen's eyes brimmed with tears. Yet with a catastrophe looming right before them, there was no time left for tenderness. Lin Chen could only muster all his strength and roar out those words.

"Since you are already acquainted, let us not linger at the doorway. Please, follow me upstairs to a private parlor where we can talk at leisure," he said, leading our entire group up the stairs.

Jing Ye asked, "You claim you used to look like this, so how is it that you have now taken on the form of the human race?"

"Rest assured! We certainly will not! We will definitely come back to visit you! Once Ziluozhen fully awakens, we will take you along with us to travel across the rivers and lakes, alright?" Yi Ling pulled her tightly into her embrace, speaking with immense tenderness.

Zhen Shifeng offered a strained smile. He enjoyed a good friendship with the deputy director, so mentioning compensation made things feel rather overly formal.

Before Li Jiayuan could finish, the elder in black robes standing before him let out a sudden cold snort. Glancing sideways at Li Jiayuan, he said, "My foolish nephew, why inflate the prestige of others while diminishing our own? With the two of us here today, a mere Xiao Family Stronghold is nothing to speak of."

Yet after a long moment, not a single person chose to give up the resistance! This meant everyone was willing to continue facing the trial.

Though filled with regret, Tianxun could only nod in agreement. He vaguely understood that pursuing certain questions to their ultimate roots would only disrupt one's meditative state of mind, and stopping at the appropriate moment was far better.

Su Ying's baseline strength was that of an eight-star Poison Commander. Relying on a poison elixir to forcefully boost her power was essentially pulling up seedlings to help them grow, which not only carried severe side effects but could also not be sustained for long. However, with her current peak nine-star Poison Commander strength, eliminating the enemies present here was more than enough.

Nodding resolutely, a flicker of worry flashed through Hun's eyes. Weiyang, Weiyang—the Crown Prince's heart and eyes held room for her alone. The Crown Prince's health was already precarious, and he deeply feared whether the Prince's body could endure such grueling, long-distance travel without collapsing. With each passing day, the Crown Prince's frame grew increasingly gaunt.
