Chapter 23: Relics

Zhou Yuhao said nothing, merely offering a bitter smile. Even he did not know how much it truly mattered; perhaps it was more a sense of guilt and regret than anything else.

Ling Feng was astonished. In this era where alchemists were scarce, the value of a single pill was nothing short of astronomical.

At dusk, the two made camp by the cliffside, using the mountain rock as their bed and the galaxy as their quilt. The campfire glowed warmly, accompanied by the ceaseless chirping of insects in the wilderness.

Yes, it was just an ordinary sheet of white paper, save for a slight bluish tint at one corner, as if someone had stained it with dye.

Han Xin was still practicing his hand-feel in a custom game, Qin Tianyu and Hao Ren were chatting idly, while the other two leaned back in their chairs, eyes closed in rest.

"Oh? After taking down the top tier, WE is rotating bot. Are they looking to push the bottom tier?" Jide noticed the situation.

You Guanglin took the inkstone from the old man’s hand and scrutinized it for a moment, yet he could discern nothing extraordinary about it.

Qiu Xin was drenched in blood, her hair disheveled, and her breath faint; her core vitality was nearly exhausted. As the noble Young Master of the Huayue Immortal Sect, how could he have ever suffered such a crushing defeat? This was all for Ye Feng. Aside from Ye Feng, who else could drive the Young Master of the Huayue Immortal Sect to such desperate lengths?

"Let’s talk while we walk! We don't even know which direction Yuhun City lies in," Zhou Hai reminded them.

"This is just the appraisal stage; the implementation phase is far more complex. First, one must select a sexual partner and communicate with them to determine the state of their respective systems. For most people, the beauty or ugliness of the partner carries significant weight in the appraisal process—it is a two-way street."

Su Huamiao intended to leave, but the ground was uneven, and she twisted her ankle. Wang Wei lunged toward her frantically.

"What do you want me to do?" Zhu Hongwei finally understood Gu Yunzhi’s intent. Given her character, she would not simply hand over these two bracelets for nothing.

Consequently, Yan Tianming stepped forward, grabbed Meng Shanshan by the arm, and dragged her out, ignoring her struggle.

Only then did Lin Ling push the door open. The scene inside was the complete opposite of a moment ago; the room was furnished with a bed, clothes, and quilts. It was exactly as it had been when Lin Ling first rented the place.

Han Lengxuan asked in a low voice, "I don't understand." Shi Yuzhu curled her lip. "You don't need to understand. I'm going home." He would never understand the feelings she held for him.

"How was I supposed to know those two agents were backed by them?" Qiao Lin retorted innocently.

"If there are no surprises, she will wake up tomorrow night," asked Qi Lingle, who was sitting in the passenger seat next to Ye Jiayin.

Having successfully registered for her mercenary license, although it was only C-rank, it was enough for her to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

Once the Yunlong men had gone inside and realized what happened, they hurriedly called their boss. After all, with such a major incident occurring, they had to seek instructions on how to handle it.

The voice was incredibly seductive, sounding as if she were flirting with a man; it made my bones feel slightly numb.

The two returned in defeat. Not to mention the possibility of punishment, at the very least, their reputations within the Sun and Moon Divine Court would be completely ruined.

"Not exactly!" After a moment of hesitation, Zhu Wei recounted the story of how Zhu Yuanzhang had crushed Jiang Teng to death with one hundred thousand strings of cash.

Han Feng knew that this God of Creation was a master at the God-Emperor level, an invincible existence within these Three Realms.

Long Luo was enraged. The seal wreathed in mist became increasingly terrifying, emitting wisps of holy pressure that pierced the void with hissing holes.

Teng Laoqian smiled slightly and flipped his palm. A vast surge of vegetation energy welled up like a tide. Instantly, dozens of blooming lotus flowers withered one after another, replaced by large, burgeoning lotus pods, inside which were embedded plump, emerald-green lotus seeds.

Hearing that Li Qiu’s identity had been accepted by the Li family brought a sense of relief to Li Chun and his wife, while Li Fei'er cheered happily.

As Du Fei spoke, he prepared to strike his own arm with a punch brimming with force. At that moment, Leilei, lying on the hospital bed, suddenly reached out and gripped Du Fei’s clenched fist with an eerie strength.

The cart pusher cursed loudly, lifting an iron wheel to smash the rocks. The knife sharpener dropped his stones, and the load lost its balance; he had to discard his shoulder pole, glaring at Le Zhiyang with fury.

The music ended and the sound faded. Master Chong dropped his pipa and left without looking back, as graceful and unconstrained as flowing clouds and flying moonlight. From the bamboo pavilion behind, there was a rustle, and three "Grade A" marks were given in succession.

As the setting sun slanted to the west, the sounds of slaughter gradually died down. This grand massacre had finally come to an end.

"Seventh Master, have you ever heard of the seven-year itch?" Ouyang Zuo asked, unable to contain himself as he watched Bo Qichen’s distracted state.

But the moment Hu Xiao expanded his spiritual sense, it hit what felt like a wall and bounced directly back.

The hospital was always filled with the uncomfortable scent of disinfectant, and the patients always wore expressions of despair.

She quickly let go and turned to the side, not daring to let Su Zhe see her blushing face, lest it be awkward.

The others naturally followed Yu Yu out, leaving Chen Keran standing alone, staring fixedly at Su Jiu.

This time, Lu Bu had learned his lesson. Fearing his nest might be raided by Su Zhe again, he made meticulous arrangements in Xu County before leading his troops south.

Qing Rong found a clean spot to sit, motioning for Ye Zi and Shen Bi to sit beside her.

"I just feel it’s troublesome. I’ve had a lot going on lately and can’t manage it all," Pei Moyan said, making up a random excuse.
