Volume 1, Chapter 36: Both of Yaoyan's legs were trembling.

For a split second, Wu Yuxin thought she was dreaming, but the stinging heat on her face told her it was no dream—this was all real.

Things were not that simple. Bai Ziqing felt a sense of urgency; they had only been on the island for two days, and if the two factions clashed, the situation would spiral out of control.

"Yes, yes, the Immortal seeks to unify the realm, which will spare the people from much division and war. Once I become the master of this world, I will surely cherish my subjects and become a wise ruler, never failing the grace bestowed upon me by the Immortal and the heavens." Zhan Qianqi’s declaration was enough to fool himself, but it left Han Yubing feeling nauseated.

Xing Luo trembled with rage. "At the very least, I’m older than you!" It was infuriating. Anyone who had seen Xing Luo knew that his eyes were the only part of his face that couldn't be criticized! *Awkward...* Was he complimenting himself or insulting himself?

Everything that needed to be said had been said; whether they listened or not was up to them. He had done what he could to help; from here on out, it was in their own hands.

About ten minutes later, vehicles began ramming into Wan Qiu's car. Wei Dong’s driving skills were excellent.

Suddenly, a gust of eerie wind blew. Li Changsheng felt the surroundings plunge into pitch darkness, and at the same time, a scorching sensation surged through his body, much like fire, causing him extreme discomfort.

Wu Shun glared at Wan Qiu with malice and said angrily, "Just you wait." Wu Shun did not dare to cross Brother Qiang.

Especially under the influence of the Liu family, the status of certain occult practitioners was highly revered. Feng Shui masters like Old Immortal Wu were even worshipped as if they were gods.

Buggy was dragged onto the shore by Zoro, looking utterly hopeless. He wasn't even allowed to bring his subordinates, with Zoro claiming that the members of the Buggy Pirates were too bizarre-looking and would ruin the city’s aesthetic.

What truly caused his mind to collapse, however, was Zoro’s follow-up critique of the food: "I don't know if you've ever tasted leopard meat, but the flavor is quite mediocre. It’s a bit sour if you eat it raw."

The teacher saw how close they were and believed they really knew each other, though she remained somewhat hesitant.

Bai Chenxi’s office was incredibly bright, with sunlight streaming in through wide floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the glass desk and the luxury, noble-style leather sofas.

"If you won't admit your mistake, from today on, you are forbidden from stepping foot into your second brother’s home. In the future, you are not to ask him for help with anything. Furthermore, when the family eats together, you are not to bring that good-for-nothing Dahai along; you are just embarrassing me." Elder He struck the floor with his cane, his voice resonant and leaving no room for argument.

Returning to the inn, Zoro shared some of the packed breakfast with Robin before taking his own portion back to his room.

But reality left no other choice, so when he saw the thick rope knot dangling before him, he had to resignedly step onto it and be hoisted up by the winch above.

Just like at a dinner party, once a precedent was set, there would always be someone coming over to offer a round of toasts.

Jin Jiansheng had been hiding in his room since yesterday, afraid to come out lest his father see him and beat him as well. Upon hearing his mother cry for help, his conscience pricked him and he opened the door, but when he saw the gleaming kitchen knife in front of his mother, Jin Jiansheng completely wilted.

Xiu Qiqi calculated in her mind and confirmed that she had missed less than a week of classes. She had probably missed about three sessions of this military theory course; it seemed the teacher covered one topic per session.

Ye Chen recited a string of numbers aloud. Izayoi Miku took out her cute pink smartphone, entered Ye Chen’s number, and dialed. The band GDM’s signature song, "My Song," played as the ringtone, and many passersby wore expressions of recognition.

"Hey, we used to treat your claims of being 'disillusioned with the world' as a joke, but hearing you say this now, we really have to take it seriously," Old Qian said in surprise.

"Look, could you stop looking at me like that? It’s making me feel a bit uneasy," Su Cheng said, starting the engine and sighing helplessly at Zhao Yingbao.

Under the efforts of Xu Li and his men, the soldiers suppressed their inner nervousness and anxiety, maintaining the army's formation. Playing a key role in this were the three thousand or so elite troops under Zheng Qiu.

That must be when a high-level creature dies, and its genes condense into a seed that drifts into the universe, only to form a warrior when it happens to be found by a human with the right aptitude.

Fenrir’s body was undergoing a drastic transformation. Long, wolf-like fur pierced through his skin, growing wildly like weeds. His body grew taller and more robust, and powerful muscles began to bulge, rapidly bursting through his original clothes.

The view in the image shifted from a side profile of the "spinning top" landmass to a top-down view. Old Qian and the others realized that this land was not stationary, suspended above the sea.

Su Cheng guessed that Su Yunshan probably acknowledged Yao Lijuan’s capabilities, but he was very bothered by the fact that she was more than ten years older than Su Cheng.

He seemed quite surprised, not expecting me to believe it so easily; the rumors outside were indeed quite scandalous.

Qin Chen splashed some water on his face to wash away the exhaustion and went straight into the courtyard to practice the Tiger Roar Dragon Chant Fist.

The Parker family’s only request was that the Rong family would not push things to the brink of annihilation, and that after the Parkers apologized and left, they would not publicize the matter.

Dong Qingguo, who feared nothing in the world, had feared and respected no one since birth except for his own father—until he met this supervisor.

With the director in place, everything else became much easier. By the end of April, the preparations for the new production crew were finally near completion.

During the final battle of the Heaven-Tilting War, the Qilin clan was the first to charge and all perished; they were the most tragic of the four divine beast clans.

She knew Xiao Yuchen was busy, and that the wedding was just a formality; as long as she knew he loved her, that was enough.

"Wait a moment, this is your family business, so I won't participate. I’m going out for a stroll; you all take your time chatting." Shi Fei didn't want to get involved in the Shao family's affairs—it was too chaotic, and she preferred to keep things simple.

The result, however, was that the Nine-Toothed Rake remained completely motionless, making the Macaque King feel as if the rake were fundamentally one with the earth itself.
