Chapter 59

The fifteen-day patrol mission came to an end. Xia Mingfeng found the Wind-Control Technique much easier to master than the other spells, and he silently used it to scout the area during his daily patrols.

"Why? Because everything we have at home was built with my own sweat and blood. If you want money, go earn it and spend your own," Gao Feng said. Even though he could sense the host's inner distress, he spoke with even greater firmness.

The Crimson Ridge Tiger glared at Zhao Ming with its bloodshot eyes, shaking its fur. Having failed twice in its attacks and been knocked far back by the human before it, it roared with a violent temper. With its sturdy tiger hooves churning up a gale, it closed in on Zhao Ming and lashed out fiercely toward his chest.

Waving dismissively at the silly beast that was snarling at him, Ye Zhu took a few quick strides to follow Zhu Tian and Qingbian Huayang, who had already set off. They moved along one of several branching paths flanking the valley entrance, heading deep into the mountains ahead.

A moment later, a high-speed spinning vortex suddenly formed within Zhao Ming's body. The vortex whirled rapidly, rippling outward in successive waves and continuously radiating through him. The humming sound generated by the rotation resonated with a certain rhythmic pattern, passing through his meridians and blending into every inch of his skin.

A large estate guard came running up in a rush, whispering a few words into Steward Yin's ear. At once, Steward Yin glared fiercely at the still-burning quarters in the front courtyard of the Chang residence, letting out a cold, "Hmph."

Following right behind were the third and fourth waves. With the skies teeming with hurricane wolves, the snipers did not need to aim much as bolt after bolt was rapidly discharged.

"Crackling!" The moment the electric arcs met the Cangming Sword, the blade was suffused with crackling electricity. Zhao Ming leaped forward, caught the Cangming with one hand, and channeled his gold-and-blue primordial Qi. In an instant, he wiped away the electricity clinging to the sword, unleashing his Gathered Origin Realm primordial Qi without a single reservation as he swung the Cangming toward the Solitary Rhinoceros.

Wang He had not expected Third Master Pei to ask him such a question—it was utterly out of left field. Weren't these wandering martial artists supposed to treat silver and coin as mere dirt?

At this moment, everyone turned their eyes toward Shui'er, wondering what kind of hidden depths this child truly possessed.

"If there's nothing fishy going on, why aren't you letting me in? Or did you deliberately have people block the entrance here beforehand?" The more Lin Eryu found herself barred from entering, the more she suspected something strange was afoot. Who knew, perhaps some seductress was hidden inside, which was why they were purposely keeping her out.

Ripple's previously calm mind began to churn with magnificent waves. Her empty stomach was filled with a sense of satiety, and though her throat burned with unbearable thirst, she had no mood left to even drink water, deeply reflecting that marriage was indeed a momentous affair.

As it slowly unrolled, it felt as though towering, precipitous mountains were rising up from the earth, iron-willed and unyielding, rushing forth to blot out the sky.

Ye Qingcheng left the palace gates with a sense of gloom, wandering aimlessly until she unconsciously found herself at the Cold Palace.

Quite a few high-ranking officials and nobles came specifically to drink tea there, allowing him to forge connections with many imperial relatives in the capital. Though he held no official post, he was a man of great prestige.

Ding Lin was no fool; once a recording proved useless, he would not use it a second time. Moreover, his goal was to have the other party save him, which did not include preserving his reputation, life, and status all at once. Forced to choose between the two, Ding Lin decisively chose the former.

"What did you say?" Bai Yaxuan clenched his fists tight. He understood her words all too well, but simply refused to accept the reality.

Consort Qi certainly knew how to speak. This retreat-in-order-to-advance tactic not only won her a stellar reputation but also smoothly dealt her opponent a stealthy blow. Everyone else would merely view Princess Linshang as petty and sharp-tongued, unforgiving even when in the right, refusing to spare even a child.

Song Jing sighed, her feelings toward the main household always remaining lukewarm, stemming solely from the few times the First Madam had extended a helping hand.

Under a thousand-fold acceleration of thought, everything around him slowed down to the pace of a snail. The spear-wielding night watchmen moved like slow-motion footage in a film, charging toward Carl inch by inch. Ripples of light swept across the air in successive waves, flowing forward almost completely still amidst the suspended dust.

Nanqiong Yunyao also noticed the abnormality behind him, realizing he was being tracked, and figured it out with a single thought.

Andrei hailed from the renowned Star-Eye family of the southern continent, a lineage famed for producing beauties and swordsmen. He awakened his Star-Eye bloodline at age six, advanced to an Iron Knight at ten, and progressed by one tier every four years thereafter. By twenty-two, he had already become a top-tier Gold Knight on the continent.

No wonder there wasn't a single contestant left outside! Ye Zheng embarrassingly chose to teleport back to his own independent dungeon room.

Just then, a strange noise suddenly rang out from outside the house, followed immediately by the crisp clash of weapons.

Amidst such picturesque scenery, accompanied by marvelous melodies, leveling up today felt absolute like a pure treat.

"It's nothing, really, I just felt a bit dizzy for a moment. Young man, thank you," the elderly man waved his hand, signaling Qin Haonan not to worry.

The person Li Rizhi suspected the most right now were the two armed escorts who had gone on a business trip to Yuanzhou. He summoned Escort Leader Wang to carefully inquire about the situation of those two men.

In such an environment, the status of motherhood grew lofty, and many young boys willing to change their gender actually harbored a deep-seated worship of motherhood within themselves.

Xichen followed them to the hospital. Su Yun had not sustained any injuries, merely suffering a bit of a scare. Wang Tiangui, having taken the beating, was naturally hurt more severely, having taken several kicks to the stomach, and would have to stay in the hospital for a few days of recovery. Fortunately, there was no mortal danger.

A person... so breathtakingly, suffocatingly beautiful that it left one gasping. Only such words could describe them; idioms like "gulls descending and fish sinking" were wholly inadequate. Long black hair and exquisite facial features gave Alerico a dizzying sense of vertigo.

Chen Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of bewildered doubt welling up in his heart. What on earth could have caused an existence like King Guyuan to change his mind?

Ding! System prompt: Justice and sacrifice are the true essence of light and warmth. Special condition triggered: Elementary Battle Angel Guardian upgraded to Advanced Battle Angel Guardian.

Since his debut, Chen Kaidi had truly never starred in a bad film. Even if he occasionally had movies with average box office returns, his overall critical reception remained consistently good.

The player's bird's-eye perspective was restricted to their true line of sight and could not be used like a hawk-eye, nor did it possess any other functions. When using the overhead view, the system automatically blocked the player's five senses, rendering them unable to feel or perceive subtle changes, and made the surrounding terrain appear extremely hazy. It could absolutely never be used to counter stealth.

She was not someone who judged a book by its cover, but comrade so-and-so resolutely wanted to judge by appearances—after all, that fellow was simply too terrifying. It was said that one of the most famous exploits of the Pink Skeleton was hunting down a single person for three days and three nights in the game, only to end up marrying that very rogue player.
