Rubbing her temples with a sense of relief, Chitanda Narutama walked home with Rumi, only to suddenly notice that the detached house next to theirs looked subtly different from the last time she saw it. Inside, Kim Jun-myeon had already handed over the frail, huddled Guardian to the doctor, and You Ling arrived at that moment as well. Janis, meanwhile, acted decisively, assuming the Nightwalker camp only wanted to seize the territory of the Pa-rabbit people.
As far as the eye could see, the landscape was filled with craggy rocks and lush, shaded trees, with a stream flowing slowly in the distance like a secluded paradise. It was impossible to imagine that a fierce, bloody battle was about to erupt here.
The final strike descended from high above, plain and simple, devoid of any flashy techniques. Yet, the Tentacruel felt the surrounding environment suddenly dim, as if it had been isolated from the rest of the world.
"Hey, Kai, wait a second!" You Ling reached out and instinctively grabbed Kim Jong-in’s left wrist without thinking. This pause nearly caused her to spill the cola in her right hand, and she didn't even realize she had called him Kai once again.
No sooner had Wu Qinghuang finished speaking than a low rumbling sound erupted. The trees on the right seemed to come to life, shifting aside to both left and right.
The middle-aged man, wearing a kindly expression, walked up and casually placed his hand on the shoulder of the young man with the ear stud, then looked up at Li Ziming and the other person to ask a question.
As the tear welled up and spilled over, Gong Ling felt the heart within her chest twitch violently.
Yun Haotian suddenly opened his eyes, which were filled with an arrogant, overbearing intensity and a dangerous aura.
A few days later, they finally arrived at the sea area where Poseidon Island was located, and they could catch a rough glimpse of the island's scenery from afar.

Zhou Tai’s thoughts were conflicted; on one hand, he was unwilling to pull chestnuts from the fire for the Suzaku Army, but on the other, he was reluctant to give up the Suzaku Army’s firearms.
Upon seeing Gongsun Qi, Zong Mingdan regained his usual composure, showing none of the panic he had displayed just moments before. After all, having been an official for so many years, he had long since perfected his acting skills.
With Yuan Shao attacking Shangdang, Ma Teng suffering defeat at the hands of Han Sui and the Qiang people, and Cao Cao lurking in Chang'an, the situation was precarious.
Ling Hanxue seemed to have read my thoughts; she was impatient to explain something, but before the words could leave her lips, she suddenly pressed her red lips tightly shut.
The madam really had a magnificent figure; she was tall, likely no shorter than Senior Sister Yan, though the firmness of their waists was completely different. Senior Sister was like steel—her every step carried a gust of wind, full of chivalrous spirit. The madam walked slowly and enchantingly, carrying a hint of demonic allure, as if she were a great demoness walking among humans.
"No wonder you have already defected to the White Moon Temple." Seeing the cloud banner, Su Ke’s expression turned cold as he spoke indifferently.
Leng Qingyou was both annoyed and amused; Yan Lixun was already at a point of no return, and he could only rely on Leng Qingyou now.
"Yes." Pei Wenlun picked up a metal box from the nightstand, inside which lay a bullet still stained with blood.
He appeared to be a charred husk of a man, devoid of any vitality or offensive capability. However, the fact that he had survived in such a state was proof enough of the final outcome of this challenge.
What the Huashan Sect did not know was that while they were busy searching everywhere for Duan Shuiquan, he had already quietly arrived at the Iron Blood Sect.
After everyone had left, Madam Shen’s expression slowly shifted from pain to fury, eventually hardening into a bone-deep hatred for Shang Yixiao. She had won after all—not only had she snatched away her son, but now her husband and her father had been taken as well.

Xiao Mochen thought the same as Zhen Zhe: Mu Siling’s appearance at the pier was definitely not just for a casual stroll.
If her identity were exposed here, someone would certainly post it online. She wasn't afraid for herself, but what mattered was Mu Jingxu.
On the surface, Mu Jingxu was a colonel in the military, and Red Fox and the others could have held idle positions within the military as well. But they didn't—they chose to retire directly and become ordinary, common people.
However, Old Man Fang did not move. Although he kept exuding an aura of great rage, it was merely to create a diversion.
Although Ouyang Yuyou was always a bit slow to react, the sudden shift in his tone when he brought up Duan Yifeng again made it clear that he no longer viewed him as just a name he happened to know.
What surprised Shang Yixiao was that Mao Tingting and Shang Quan were actually willing to part with the money? The money was indeed provided by her, but in the past, after the eight thousand yuan arrived every month, the old lady only ever received three thousand, while the remaining five thousand was taken by the couple using various excuses.
"I told you, don't call me Rat." The hamster walked over and glared at him gloomily.
Once Kota fell, the pressure on Hong Hao and Luo Li increased sharply. It was clear their formation had collapsed; they were forced to hide and flee from Zexin. But this situation lasted only two minutes before Hong Hao and Luo Li were also struck by Zexin and collapsed in agony.
"Where do you think you're going, you beast!" Ye Yunfei and Liu Tianxiong shouted in unison. Ye Yunfei’s body erupted with golden light as a beam of golden energy flew out, while a crimson light flashed from Liu Tianxiong, who struck out with a massive palm toward the wolf demon.
