I Like You, Qu Wan.

Jiang Zeyu could hold his liquor reasonably well, but only just.
That night he was indeed plied with drink, to the point that he was somewhat befuddled.

Qu Wan felt for him terribly and supported him lightly. “Then we’ll head back first. See you tomorrow morning.”

Watching them leave, Nan Jue gave a snort. “Good heavens, the difference a wife makes.”

Beside him, Yao Zhao said lazily, “If you want a wife, it’s not hard. Isn’t the one at your house only missing the proper paperwork?”

Nan Jue’s smile stiffened. He pressed his lips together, his expression darkening.

Yao Zhao paid him no mind. He ate at his own pace, then greeted the director and left as well.

Qu Wan helped him into the elevator.

Jiang Zeyu was only half-

“Someone capable of killing the Nine-Headed Beast, how could they be an anonymous nobody on Earthstar?” Mang Ling muttered.

Heavenly Sovereign and Empress Mother had come prepared. After obtaining the Five Elements Fruit from the Demon Ancestor, their confidence soared even further. With a loud shout, Heavenly Sovereign brought the Heaven and Earth Seal crashing down upon Yuan Hong’s head.

“You rascal, you keep finding new ways to annoy me. But I’d never truly be angry with you. You’re exactly the sort who learned not to be angry first, and only afterward learned how to drive people mad.” Even Old Boss could do nothing against Xiao Han’s shamelessness.

Wang Dong said nothing, only sighed, as though he found Lin Taiping’s question absurd.

But Zhuang Wangu quickly learned the truth from the man in purple. It turned out that Chunyu had somehow obtained a divine power, but that power could not be used in the Realm of Gods and Demons; it could, however, be used in the South Dream Realm. So he borrowed its ability through dreams, and in the end, to conceal the matter, the whole story of the ant tunnel had been invented.

In this world, apart from the great sages whose power was boundless, most cultivators were placed under restrictions. No matter how they cultivated, they could only accumulate at most tens of thousands of years of power. The West Queen Mother was unquestionably the foremost beneath the sages; even now, she had only amassed a little over a single cosmic cycle’s worth of power.

From this moment on, the unification of the Beautiful New Continent entered the proper track. It also meant that Du Qianjie, by virtue of his extraordinary strength, had laid a solid foundation for the grand cause of unifying Earthstar. In the history of Earthstar, his name was destined to be remembered forever.

That man in black was not a constable at all, nor any spy sent by the governor to investigate the Golden Lion and the staff. He was simply another predator preying on predators.

On this metallic planet there were no living creatures; it floated there in absolute silence. Mu brought Du Qianjie to the other side, where they found a giant object shaped like a gate, as well as an old man with his eyes closed.

The burly man’s arms, thick as tree trunks, twisted violently, breaking both arms of a middle-aged man before flinging him aside.

Lin Ai subconsciously looked up—and that single glance nearly froze her blood. Her flying mech halted in midair.

The old man wore coarse homespun clothes, patched everywhere, like a monk’s ragged robe. His face was mottled with bruises, his hair disheveled, and he was crying out miserably, held down tightly by two stout yamen officers.

Princess Yu Zhen was not especially worried. She and Ye Zhong had made an agreement in advance: if he failed the trial, Ye Zhong would still have to accept the princess’s arrangements. In any case, there would be plenty of chances; one victory or defeat meant nothing.

To thank Ye Lan Yu and the others, Elder Lin specially hosted a banquet for them that very night.

In this era of rapid development and technological progress, so long as humanity stayed even half a step ahead of demons, monsters, and ghosts, it could keep widening that advantage... one step ahead, every step ahead, until it stood above all.

But what had really happened? Why had it willingly taken the form of a mother serpent? Was it because of him?

Ye Tian, Divine Eye Lie, and Divine Eye Ling led four to five hundred cultivators of the Divine Eye clan out in great force. After walking about three kilometers, they saw seven or eight hundred cultivators led by Divine Eye Kuang not far ahead.

How inconceivable it was: before he even understood what “liking” meant, he had already fallen in love with her.

A system disk was sold in almost every computer shop for only ten yuan. Compared with the genuine version, which cost several thousand, this pirated thing was absurdly cheap.

Yang Hong stopped first. The baffled Heiyu Chunichiro jumped in alarm, thinking the Allied Forces were up to some trick. He immediately adopted a defensive stance on the spot and, with a sharp wave of his hand, more than twenty Japanese soldiers dropped flat to the ground at once, rifles leveled in guard.
