Chapter 35

In the Varied Mountain Range, creatures great and small make every effort to avoid the Immortals they encounter. However, some clever ones choose to curry favor with compatible Immortals, often reaping handsome rewards by acting adorable, with a few even becoming permanent companions to them.

Apart from Xu Xinhui and Xu Bing, who had previously benefited from Fang Zhe and felt a tinge of reluctance at his departure, no one else cared in the slightest.

He had expected some form of bullying or intimidation; he was, after all, somewhat familiar with Feng Xue’s temper.

The Ancient Evasion Talisman was slowly repairing itself. Wang Weijun discovered, to his utter astonishment, that it required no materials—only the power of astral energy, spiritual essence, and the use of mantras. Such a miraculous phenomenon left even a man of his experience stunned.

Because if they demanded a success rate exceeding sixty percent, Fang Zhe would never have agreed to their terms.

"Once I become the Hokage, I will assign you missions constantly! Over and over again, I will make you work until the day you grow old!" On the eve of her inauguration, Tsunade made a vow that was absolutely impossible to keep.

Zhang Chen did not understand why Fang Yiheng suddenly mentioned the relocation of the Green Park District government. It seemed unrelated to the land transfer, but he knew Fang Yiheng would not bring it up without a reason. Thus, he remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

Boom! As his feet struck the ground with immense force, the sandy terrain shuddered violently. A shockwave, accompanied by a spray of flying grit, rippled out from beneath Roland’s boots. The mounts of the "Blade Gang" bandits opposite him were startled, rearing up and neighing in panic, while the riders covered their faces and turned away to shield themselves from the debris.

Zhang Chen cast a cold glance at Xing Yun. Refusing to shake his hand, he simply said, "Just wait. I want to see how much longer you can be so arrogant," before taking his copy of the agreement and leaving the office.

"If you think you can manage it, feel free to try." Temari nonchalantly held her open Three-Star Fan with one hand.

"Since you are capable of cultivating life force, it won't be long before you are truly alive again," Di Yang remarked with a meaningful tone. It mattered not whether Lin Hanruo admitted it; he knew the extent of her abilities.

Although Situ had appeared calm just moments ago, Qin Fang could sense that this was the most significant emotional shift she had exhibited since they had been together.

As soon as Gu Nuan landed, she summoned her sword and attempted to fly. Though somewhat unsteady, she managed to maintain her balance.

Yili Muyao’s dramatic shift in attitude and her newfound confidence to sit by the fire with Ji Ran were both results of what had transpired that morning.

She hadn't noticed it while in her state of excitement, but now that she had calmed down, she felt an instant, crushing depletion of her spiritual power, leaving her limbs feeling weak and heavy.

Su Chen flickered slightly. He seemed to have remained perfectly still, yet a handful of seawater had appeared in his palm.

If he truly possessed an extraordinary background, then for the sake of the Heavenly King’s Mansion—if not for him—it would be safer for some people in his faction to remain settled.

Ron pushed open the classroom door. Lockhart, who appeared to be about to begin a speech, stiffened momentarily before flashing that standard, polite smile at him.

The Wreckage Mountain had absorbed too much of the Ji clan’s firepower, causing the intensity on other fronts to wane, leaving them in a precarious position.

He lowered his gaze, staring intently at Yun Fuxiao. When she shrank back under his piercing look, he immediately leaned down, his soft lips locking onto hers in a lingering, gentle nibble and suck. Yun Fuxiao instinctively wrapped her arms around his elegantly curved neck, responding with fervor.

Lucifer, in particular, was desperate to know how Su Junyan had achieved such a miracle.

"So, should we turn back and discuss it?" the Lizardman asked, rubbing his head as he flew toward Tea God Mountain.

But not everyone possessed the magnanimity and strategic foresight of Fan Ziqin, and the court was in an uproar over the "Abolition of the Feudal Princes."

Even those Northern Frontier warriors, who usually devoured bear paws like pork knuckles, downed bird's nest soup like water, and crunched rabbit eyes like soybeans, paused their uncouth manners—which the Fan family servants could barely stand to watch—to cheer loudly in approval.

However, the people living in this world were not immortal. They were subject to birth, aging, sickness, and death, though their lifespans were incredibly long, with most living for a thousand years.

The Half-Day Leisure Residence was not large, covering only five mu, but the layout was elegant and the space utilized so efficiently that it appeared much larger than it actually was.

As the final surge of spiritual power struck the soul core, a sudden roar erupted in the sky. Three trails of flame swept down, hooking the trio by their waists and pulling them back to safety.

Upon hearing that Zhuge Hao had left behind medicinal pills, Yun Fuxiao felt a sense of relief. She kept Su Ye with her and sent Jiang Xiang back to check on Zhuge Heng.

Although he had access to the celestial prison and the finest interrogation methods, Nangong Qing still wished to see these people himself; perhaps he could extract something more from them.

His tall, slender frame leaned against the door of the sleek sports car, while before him stood a lovely woman a full head shorter than he was.

The hundred or so corpse-insects that had successfully crossed the long bridge gave up the chase. The bridge had caught fire, melting the ice and exposing many corpses previously trapped beneath, which drew the insects' attention away.
