Chapter 27: Not Only Do I Fear the Heat, I Also Fear the Cold

Lu Youyou lay on her bed, unable to sleep as the thought of her wedding tomorrow occupied her mind.

Had Gu Qingye noticed something during that sudden silence before he left?

Sigh, what a bother…

Lu Youyou turned over and stared blankly at the "little patient" beside her.

The makeshift bird's nest had been upgraded to a deluxe version made from old clothes, and for the sake of easier care, Lu Youyou had placed it on her nightstand.

She stroked its soft, furry little head and sighed, "Oh, Little Gray."

Both dishes emitted a rich, savory aroma; one appeared to be a meat stew, while the other was a clear soup.

A-Wu quietly set his hand to vibrate, the motion so rapid it appeared like a phantom blur. When the human body is under attack, it naturally generates a buffer to mitigate the force of the blow.

Mozi advocated for defensive mechanisms, while Master Luban championed offensive ones, leading to constant friction between the two.

"Right, I didn't get a turn either; I have to make up for it today." This comment was like poking a hornet's nest, and everyone crowded around.

It wasn't that she wanted to force the Azure Phoenix, but she couldn't guarantee that in the long days of her absence, the Azure Phoenix and A-Da would truly have the ability to guard Jade Spirit Peak.

"Teacher, wait, after I use another martial soul, I have no way to use my own soul skills," Youcheng couldn't help but remind him.

"Don't—it's bad for your digestion to work right after eating so much. Rest a while longer; we have plenty of time to start at two!" Lin Lou quickly stepped in. Their bellies were so distended that starting work immediately would surely lead to trouble.

The inertia of the River of Time washed A-Wu toward the downstream, but even as he reappeared at the moment he had been ambushed by the colorful light, the colorful threads did not manifest. It seemed he was in the clear.

The ring looked as if it had been drawn by a compass, perfectly standard; it did not appear to be a natural formation. Could it be that something had manifested there?

"The Immortal-Ascension Pill—well, it's nothing extraordinary, just that the ingredients are rare, which is why there is only one. It can increase the success rate of a quasi-saint breaking through to the sage level by thirty percent," Master Yuandan said indifferently.

"Mr. Zhurong, help me open a node. I am going in to reclaim every bit of my lost honor!" Luo Tian said coldly.

After a long while, only the Ten Talents of Hidden Dragon remained on the palace roof, along with Su Haochen, and the battle between Su Haochen and Jian Heng continued.

Just then, a sinister wind swept through the side hall, followed by a rapid spread of black mist that engulfed the entire hall in the blink of an eye. The soldiers who failed to retreat in time let out a single scream before falling silent.

His demeanor was too affected and his tone too exaggerated, earning him yet another eye-roll from Qi Zhuji.

Yi Fan did not look back; he relaxed his mind, and a moment later, his body suddenly drifted forward before vanishing into thin air,遁 into an unknown realm.

"Fengxiao just recounted what he saw and heard over these past ten days; he couldn't stop praising the Pegasus City and Yanmen Commandery under your rule, my lord!" Chen Gong replied.

Just as Chen Baowan left the practitioners who had faithfully guarded her and ventured alone out of the purple bamboo forest, two Northern Wei practitioners clad in black armor sliced through the air and arrived at Pingfeng Valley.

He no longer had the Destiny Blood Box within him, but upon touching this magical artifact of Ni Yunshan's, he still felt a very strange sensation in his perception.

Seeing the situation turn dire, the man in the green shirt quickly summoned the remaining sea wolves and turned to flee.

Nezha's face turned ashen. Immortals loved to snatch mortals who were beneficial to them because, in the Three Realms, the truly formidable ones were not the gods, demons, or spirits with heaven-defying powers, but the seemingly powerless human race.

Luo Xia pondered calmly and felt this was highly probable. He had no choice but to apologize to the disciple operating the teleportation array in the Demon Hunting Grounds and ask him to activate it once more to send him back.
