Volume 1, Chapter 28: A Taste of Rat Tail

Her voice was raspy; her long white hair cascading over her chest, paired with a black hat, actually looked quite striking.

The enchanting man’s peach-blossom eyes curved into a crescent, and he waved his palm outside the porthole as if greeting someone.

A deafening boom echoed, catching Ling Yichuan below off guard. Hey, hey, hey, are they really staging a "bitter-meat ruse" here?

However, Han Lao-Si’s words sent ripples through Ding Hao’s heart; information regarding innate divine abilities and the Ice Source was etched into his mind.

"Lan Qiang, Lin Yuting, why are you sitting here?" Xiong Shiran greeted them with a smile.

Just as she stepped inside, a wave of oppressive pressure surged toward her. Feng Chuge scanned the surroundings, a glimmer of intrigue appearing in the depths of her eyes.

Long Aotian sneered, "Fifty years? Very well." In their plans, they never intended to let the seven top-tier forces survive beyond fifty years.

"What is going on outside?" Zhu Xiaoyun looked at the elders sitting before him with a livid expression. The retaliation from the Divine Sword Valley and the Star-Moon Sect had only just subsided a month ago, and now someone else had come to cause trouble. His reputation as a leader of a grand sect had been completely dragged through the mud.

By the time she arrived, Master Bai’s ceremony was nearly over. Seeing her state, others couldn't help but glance over. Upon seeing Yun Jiao’s appearance, everyone knew something was amiss. Ordinarily, any trouble today should have been suppressed; why bring someone to the venue like this? No one knew whose household had suffered such a loss of face.

Afterward, Lukov began counting the heads. Once the headcount was finished, the journey to the West could officially begin.

The next moment, the gods acted in unison, picking up the curtains of stars to begin mending the dust that had settled, for time waits for no one.

Moreover, they truly possessed evidence. The town had indeed called Lin Zheng-Tu during the day, intending to inform him of the division of labor. Naturally, at that time, Huangshu Village was not under his jurisdiction.

Xiao Chen saw a divine light erupt from the eyes of the God of Nature. A torrent of energy pierced through his body, breaking the barriers of space and heading straight for that blue planet.

How could he have these things? Had he been investigating Noah the whole time, or was there a corporate spy sent by Song Weili inside Noah? It was terrifying; she dared not think any further.

Huang Lianhong was a person of extraordinary insight, so at this moment, she felt neither fear nor nervousness, and neither did Lin Su.

Audrey leaned against Zhou Nan as if she had no bones, watching him steer the ship and giggling foolishly from time to time. Because Zhou Nan was coming back today, she had slacked off again and refused to go to her performance.

Song Yu-Yao pouted. Usually quite boisterous, she was exceptionally quiet today until she was carried and placed into the car.

Seeing her wide eyes as she mimicked the tugging of his lips, but smiling in a way that looked like crying, Song Weili felt his heart tighten. He pulled her into his arms with a forceful embrace.

Because of the vast divide between the living and the dead, conventional intelligence warfare—such as dispatching spies to engage in mutual schemes within human society—was out of the question.

Cheng Yaojin also jumped up off the stage, and some people instinctively kept rhythm with him; the scene was lively and joyful to the extreme.

The direwolf had initially glared with ferocity, refusing to yield, but for reasons unknown, its struggling body grew weaker, its limbs stiffened, and its attitude gradually "softened."

In fact, they were already filming the pilot episode today. So, the production team was truly playing a prank on everyone.

When I realized when it happened, I didn't even want to cry anymore. I just held him, holding him very quietly, even feeling a little like laughing.

Although the sound of wind and sand whistling over the tent tops could be heard from time to time, the three girls slept soundly and sweetly.

Liu Ming dragged Lin Ke toward the depths of the corridor. They hadn't run far before Liu Ming stopped at the last door, slid the lock open, pulled Lin Ke inside, and immediately bolted the door shut.

After understanding the situation, Mei Jiao nodded. Looking at Yan Mingfei, whose every movement was that of a true man, it seemed everyone had truly immersed themselves in their roles.

The place Heng Yan-Lin wanted to go did not seem like a destination anyone else knew about.

Seeing that the fire dragon before him seemed evenly matched with these magical artifacts, Heng Yan-Lin let out a cold shout.

This was a wine cup from the Moon Palace. One would imagine that items from the Moon Palace must be at least ten thousand years old, naturally far more ancient than the era of the Xia and Shang dynasties five or six thousand years ago.

I had always suspected a connection between Yu Chaofan and Shen Bing. The day we arrived in Yunnan, Shen Bing stayed in the room next to ours. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? The room had been booked by Zhang Lu. She had been with Yu Chaofan the whole time, and Yu Chaofan could easily have learned our itinerary and where we were staying.

This had nothing to do with me or Yun Huanqin; we continued our search for the existence of the Nine Great Arenas.

Wang Minghai’s face looked as unsightly as pigskin pulled from a deep fryer; it was twisted beyond recognition.

"What? Did Ye Banfeng and his group tamper with Zhou Yuan’s ship?" Aolong perked up instantly, looking over as well.

At this moment, after news surfaced that termites might be present, the previously orderly formation fell into significant chaos.

Upon hearing this, I was stunned again. A moment ago it was a confession; now, I felt a sense of coercion.

I was well aware of my own strength, and having gained human intelligence, I did not want to waste too much time dealing with these two dogs. I planned to use brute force to injure one, instantly poison the other, and then turn back to finish the first. The entire process had to be completed within thirty seconds.

Before Shi Yuxun could answer, she appeared to be struck by something, suddenly thrown backward.

Yue Yan thought about it and agreed. With the potential for success and the chance to create miracles right before him, it was time to focus on cultivation. It was just that Ye Qingfeng’s face seemed a bit of an eyesore, but that wasn't a major issue.

At the coach’s insistence, the few of them walked up to Zhao Guangjun one by one. After reluctantly apologizing, they each returned to their seats.

Although this exchange of health was a bit of a loss, it was not without gains; at least they had roughly tested the strength of the opposing bot lane.

However, what Fang Lun hadn't expected was that the tournament format happened to coincide with this match. Although his side had won the first game, if they were to lose two in a row, the opponent would still take the points.

If she hadn't been in such a rush to leave and had taken the time to teach her properly, she wouldn't have been unable to handle her work affairs.
