These stars are not the same as last night's.

Ji Ningzhao was startled, immediately retreating several steps backward, only to collide with someone behind her. On such a night—dark, windy, with a waning moon—there was a bronze-headed rack of skulls before her, and an unknown figure behind. Alarm bells blared in Ji Ningzhao’s mind; dragon scales swiftly climbed to her jaw, her pupils turned a brilliant gold, and her first instinct was to withdraw a pace and drive her elbow into the abdomen of the person behind, determined to free herself.

Yet, the person behind seemed to anticipate her move.

He had no desire whatsoever to continue living in such constant fear. He had to find a way to eliminate Lu Shaoyou; only then could he prevent the Six Doors from tracing this matter in the future.

He caught the implication in that sentence precisely—or rather, it was almost an outright declaration of arrogance.

Dong Yuan watched Luo Ang’s receding figure and hurried after him, intent on persuading him to stay.

Jiang Yuyao felt deeply grateful; as long as this villain was apprehended, at least her two colleagues could be avenged, their spirits in heaven finally at peace.

The Seven Sword Slaves, united, were matching the Meng family’s patriarch, a living saint, blow for blow—neither side gaining the upper hand.

Upon hearing that Chunyu Qiong had been killed by Zhao Yun, Yuan Shao spat blood and collapsed unconscious.

The blue-robed specter was so enraged he nearly exploded; he had thought himself thoroughly prepared, only to be caught off-guard by the opponent’s devastating combination.

After dinner, upon returning to the master bedroom, Lu Yanci did as he had the previous night, claiming he had work to do and telling her to sleep first.

Thus, when doing business with them, Lu Shaoyou had to stay razor-sharp; if not, he could end up losing everything, down to his underwear, with no time left even for regret.

“It’s me. You just tried to call Qingyao. I hung up for her—she didn’t sleep well last night and is resting now,” Jiang Chen said.

“I’ve been awake for a while. Seeing you sleeping so soundly, I couldn’t bear to disturb you. I made some food, so let’s eat first,” Li Ling’er said with a smile.

She was carried all the way like that, under countless astonished gazes, then tossed unceremoniously onto a sofa in a room.

Qin Tian wore a look of utter exasperation, but Ou Ze spoke with pride. As the heir to a professional development company, he naturally knew all about these famous Shanghai buildings.

“Bang!” The moment the Mercedes sped off, accompanied by screeching brakes, three large trucks collided head-to-head and came to a halt. Fortunately, only the fronts were slightly deformed and no one was hurt.

With a perfectly natural blow, the entire space began to collapse; the great formation at the exit cracked instantly and started to disintegrate.

After all, no matter how much she was tormented, they were still husband and wife. As long as Wang Jingjing said to release Chen Rui, Qin Tian naturally saw no reason to interfere further.

As the words fell, the other hand wielding the hammer gave a gentle swing. With a thunderous boom, an invisible force obliterated the giant insect, leaving not a trace of its body—only a massive cluster of light remained.

“Let’s begin. So many are waiting for our duel!” Athena smiled softly, already summoning the Sacred Flame. Golden fire surged toward the Water God Yu, scorching the earth with blistering heat.

After Ye Bingyin spoke, she and Zhuoran pushed open the door. Though it was made of stone, it wasn’t heavy, and they managed it easily. But once they did, they were stunned—for before them lay a heavenly staircase.

Black hair cascaded over her face and brow, wavering gently. Bai Maonu fixed her watery gaze, her expression betraying neither joy nor sorrow, settling only faintly upon Fahai’s brow and eyes, her tone gentle as a breeze passing through the treetops: “You remember everything from a thousand years ago—you remember who you are?”

He was dressed in black battle armor and boots, all exchanged with merit points for standard Chiyou clan weaponry and armor.
