“It’s all thanks to Mr. Cat…” Knowing they were about to part, Katherine choked up as she spoke.

“Let me take care of it! I have a friend in the wedding business—he’s helped with many of my company’s events before and is very experienced. Most importantly, he’s incredibly reliable,” Fang Ruichen said.

Though called a spear, it was actually similar to a short sword, with both a weapon and a shield. The difference was that the spear came with a sturdy large shield, which felt especially heavy in her hand, and its sheer size made Katherine feel awkward and clumsy when moving.

Moreover, Begonia was not Katherine; the armor she wore was several grades lower than Katherine’s. As a huntress, she wore lightweight armor, making her even more vulnerable.

What kind of acupuncture technique was this? He was working on two acupoints simultaneously, using different needle methods… How could he dare to do such a thing? Was he not afraid that the conflicting techniques would neutralize each other’s effects?

Hong Ling took out a device from her clothes that looked like a cell phone, tapped a few times on the screen, and Han Lin saw a series of headshots appear. However, only one of the photos was a black question mark. Hong Ling tapped this icon and handed the device to Han Lin.

As Yin Zhong sat on the steps, his mind racing with excitement, a massive interstellar mothership entered the gravitational field of the Rowena star system and stopped in orbit close to the planet Zapros. The starship blocked out Rowena’s faint light like a dark cloud, plunging Zapros’s western hemisphere into shadow.

Back then, the relentless pursuit of Gilgamesh made Enkidu suffer so much that she turned dark. Out of a desire for revenge, she requested that Gilgamesh be transformed into a woman.

Saki Miyanaga’s life points finally dropped, but not from Konata Izumi’s attack—it was from her own voluntary payment. She flicked a card between her fingers onto the table.

So the princess of the Rain family was no pushover; in a split second, she had weighed over ten missions in her mind four or five times, ultimately concluding that the hardest mission seemed the most feasible, which was why she chose the first task.

Everywhere she looked there were corpses. Blood stained the mountainside, and the air was thick with a nauseating stench. More than a hundred warriors in golden armor, led by a standard-bearer with a golden falcon shield, raised their golden greatswords and charged out in a grand, unstoppable formation.

Soul stones were incredibly useful! Even in hell, you could use them to purchase various services. Perhaps this was one of the main reasons humans sought to kill the undead.

On their arms appeared a red thread-like worm—not an insect, but a kind of parasite.

What happened next was both horrifying and unbelievable: the scattered flesh faded away, transforming into chaotic divine light. The points of light contracted and burrowed back into Ye Wushuang’s body.

Of course, Situ Yang was promoted to Grand Admiral of the Navy and no longer served concurrently as fleet commander, now commanding the front lines with unified authority.

When the Wolf King followed the bodyguards into the magical beast forest, it had already become Kris’s trial ground.

Seeing this, Ye Feng’s guard was instantly raised. Had the other side discovered his presence?

Though Young Master Lei was one of the seven noble sons, with a mind among the finest, what could have terrified him so?

Ye Xingchen wiped the soul imprint from his storage ring, then took out a blue box from within. The box contained the dragon crystal fragments the black-robed man had collected over five years in the Yangu Peak secret realm.

“Damn it! Lord! Let me take some men and bring back the heads of that corrupt official’s entire family!” Pei Yuanshao shouted furiously.

Tong Xinya said nothing, so Shen Lingfeng could only lower his head. He already felt enough guilt toward her; as long as Tong Xinya remained silent, he truly didn’t know what to say next.

Furthermore, Fu Lin knew that he had already taken control of Unwei City. It wasn’t something he calculated himself, but the result of careful planning and loyalty among all his subordinates.

Long Quan was courting disaster, and it was just as well—Fu Lin could reap the benefits without the trouble of starting a company, advertising, or worrying about hiding his tracks.

Yet Wen Liang, with her adorable and sincere appearance, furrowed her brows in concern over Nana’s leg, earning the sympathy of all the foreigners around.

“So early like this? That’s not really good…” Realizing Tong Xinya had woken up—otherwise she wouldn’t have pulled away so quickly—he tried to explain. “Well… this is something every man experiences. She was just too nervous.”

Although it had killed the Thunder Ghost out of necessity, there was no sense of guilt. In that situation, one death was better than two; the Thunder Ghost was already out of power, and keeping him would have only been a burden. Still, after so many years of acquaintance, it was a pity.

Startled by the person behind her, Tong Xinya stepped back several paces. But she forgot that behind her was a pond, and after two steps, she heard a splash.

In early September, Zhou Yi personally escorted his wounded brothers back to Yuanling. On the way home, they encountered a team transporting conscripts.

This place had already become a Buddhist holy land, the faith firmly entrenched—no one knew how powerful the monks there had become.

Judging by the way those two felines moved together, Liu Kai concluded they must be a male and a female.

Because of the priest’s influence, Jiang Changsheng needed to boost Yu Feihong’s popularity, so Tianya Entertainment had recently pushed out many press releases and articles about him.

In an instant, a blinding light flashed, turning everything white. Immediately after, a thunderous roar erupted from behind.

But Liu Kai’s next words made it clear: the deputy commander across from them was not uninterested in their group—in fact, he had even more ideas in mind.
