In that instant, countless thoughts of self-preservation flashed through Lu Chenyuan’s mind: the Mind-Calming Talisman, Palm Thunder, and the three innate abilities accompanying the puppet—Nightmare Sound, Illusory Rhythm; Shift Calamity, Turn Misfortune; and Devour Souls, Absorb Spirits.

Given the circumstances, Shift Calamity, Turn Misfortune was most likely to save him. However, the version demonstrated in the illusion could only transfer a curse to the puppet for it to bear. It had never been made clear whether it could likewise take a lethal physical injury in his place...

Besides, the Ink-Wash Heartfire had already

Rong Xigu took out his phone and opened the app to look through the friend requests he had received earlier. After searching for quite a while, he still could not find anyone who resembled her.

Gu Jiujiu was stunned by his sudden shout and indeed stopped moving. “Then get up! Get out!” She reached out and pushed him.

When they reached the changing room, they found that the lock outside had already been opened. As for the fingerprint lock inside, there was no way to tell what had happened.

The tears remained in her mouth, their bitter taste spreading endlessly. Hua Xuanji helplessly closed her eyes, refusing to look or think, and let her body fall with the wind.

“What do you mean by ‘that sort of woman’? Even if I marry her tomorrow, it still won’t be your place to interfere.” His tone allowed not the slightest refusal.

When she gave birth to Momo, she had suffered severe hemorrhaging. The doctor had said that, given her condition, she might not be able to have a second child.

After drying myself, I changed into a loose moon-white linen-cotton sleeping robe with a cross-collar and knotted buttons, along with long pajama pants. The breathable fabric was good for the rashes on my body. Yet the moon-white clothes made my skin look pallid, almost devoid of color, while the sprig of winter plum embroidered across the chest made me appear even thinner and more delicate.

“What, are you in such a hurry to catch the next ride?” When Rong Nancheng heard that she wanted to leave, he could no longer contain himself. He directly put an arm around her waist and urged her toward the parking lot.

The financial markets were closed over the weekend of the 11th and 12th, but there had been considerable movement in the news. It was easy to see that domestic soybean-related futures would surge on Monday, because spot prices had risen by nearly ten percent as well.

The news spread like wildfire, racing through the entire upper circle like a tornado and causing an enormous sensation.

Shen Shilang thought that if the person sitting before him were Su Jinshi, he would not only feel no disgust—he would have welcomed it wholeheartedly.

Although Lu Chen had been mentally prepared, he had not expected her to strike so decisively. He dodged one attack after another, yet was still hit by a talisman.

Ye Da had swallowed ten soldier-ant beast cores in succession, but all they had done was cover the sole of his right foot with a layer of stone skin, as though he were wearing a stone sock.

Now even his father forbade him to speak, forcibly accepting the charge of defiling the Yingyun beauties. He had not even been given a chance to prove his innocence.

Jiang Yu in her wedding dress was different from her usual dazzling beauty. Today, she was impossibly pure and sacred.

With just one more beast core, Ye Da would be able to break through again and become a second-tier Black Iron warrior.

Gao Jixing’s relaxed expression tightened, and solemnity gradually filled his eyes, replacing the delight he had shown moments earlier. Slowly, he gathered her frail body into his arms.

Ye Da had already dug as far as the rock wall, but with no points of reference and a pile of snow covering everything, finding the door of a stone house was far from easy.

Still, showing a little temper was fine so long as one knew when to stop. If one carried it too far, however, that would be troublesome.

“Captain, there’s nothing else on my end.” Fatty Sun immediately spoke up.

General Mangsen showed no displeasure at this. It was only when he turned again to William Stryker, standing before the control console, that his expression once more became as stern as before.

“If you ask me, it was definitely the combined effect of the bead your father gave you and the changes caused by your saving me! In other words, I may be very close to Bi’s talent. Of course, I mean the talent she had when she first began absorbing spirits!” Yaer Shi said confidently.

In the end, Anna left the castle with a heart full of unease, climbed into her “Knight” off-road vehicle, and drove toward the company.

At that thought, Han Yueqiao suddenly grew nervous. It had to be because she could not repay the money, so this man wanted her to marry him as compensation for the debt. How could she possibly accept such a thing?

Nor did she notice the triumphant smile on Mo Wei’s face as she sat beside Ye Anmian, or the deeper meaning hidden behind Ye Anmian’s sweet smile.

For a moment, everyone from Xinyuxuan stood dumbfounded, yet not one of them dared take a step forward. They had seen clearly how Boss Yu had been beaten down earlier. People said that bystanders saw things more clearly, but none of them had even noticed how I had struck him.

At that moment, sweat kept beading on Greedy Wolf’s head. He knelt there, his entire body trembling faintly.

That period had been nothing short of hell. Fortunately, he later remembered the promise he had made to Li Mo’er, and that was what brought him back to life. But fulfilling those promises would have been worse than doing nothing at all.

It was a clear day, yet the sun suddenly disappeared behind the clouds and the sky darkened. Such a thing was truly rare.

A gigantic silhouette, nearly as large as the Black Serpent itself, swayed into view. That vast mass of gentle white light slowly broke through all the crushed ice covering its body and moved outward step by step.

Then I propped myself up and sat on the windowsill of their school building, fully prepared to listen.

Corpses lay everywhere, and vivid red blood blanketed the hillside. The fierce wind whipped gravel through the air, sending it scattering in every direction. The stones struck the earthen slope, the bluestone, and human bodies, making a constant rustling clatter.

Although she did not know Tancheng’s true identity, she understood that she could no longer let her continue speaking, lest she ruin the image Gu Shaoze had painstakingly built.

The battle between the zombies continued. Under the watchful eyes of the Martial Arts Alliance, the zombies that had originally been fewer in number had quietly expanded their ranks. Before long, they had begun to rival the original zombies.

Xu Sansheng hesitated for a moment, then placed his right hand in Dao’s, completing the first handshake of his life.

Bai Yujing’s eyes gleamed as he looked at the distance ahead. The boatman clearly had no intention of rowing over there, so he said, “Then let me borrow a few of your poles first.” He saw several punting poles at the bow. With one step, he kicked one of them with his left foot.

The tea was pale green, an utterly ordinary green tea—perfectly suited to a woodcutter’s identity. Yet the instant it left the teacup, it became extraordinarily unusual.

Perhaps he had slept for too long, leaving his mind sluggish as well. For a moment, he could not remember what message he had sent back to Qishan.

“Next time, don’t toy with me,” he said quietly, his smile somewhat cold. It seemed he was still holding a grudge over my tricking him into coming to the hospital.
