Volume One, Chapter 10: Rivals Meet, Settling Differences Over Tea

“Alright, everyone, stop!” As Chen Zhe and Lin Yuner were locked in a stalemate, Cui Xiuying, sitting beside Chen Zhe, swiftly reached out with her chopsticks, plucked a piece of grilled meat from each of their plates, and began savoring it with great delight.

Shortly after, the answer sheets for the other two subjects of the comprehensive science exam were handed out. He just barely passed physics, hitting the pass line exactly. Perhaps because the physics teacher, Old Luo, was kind-hearted, no matter how Xie Jun calculated, he thought he’d scored fifty-five points, yet the paper showed a total score of sixty.

Meanwhile, Gu Chengyu and the others fixed their gaze intently on Tang Ziyan, unconsciously immersed in the deep emotions woven through the words.

The next day was another busy one. Lin Fei bought the same model of phone as him—a Nokia 5230, one black and one white. These phones were currently flying off the shelves and the price was reasonable.

Amid the roaring flames, it seemed as if something was entwined around, persistently playing the piano.

“I’m Zhao Yunzhi. We’ll be dealing with each other often from now on. You don’t have any objections to what I just said about fertilizing with manure, do you?” Zhao Yunzhi asked calmly.

Angered, Zhao Yunzhi grabbed the arm of a guard with one hand, seized him, and with a forceful flick, slammed him heavily to the ground.

In truth, his joining the True Spirit Academy was not born of lofty ambition. He was simply driven out by his mother, who said the family was already burdened with an idle father.

At first, when Zhao Yunzhi saw her, he felt a lingering fear, unsure how to face his sister, Zhao Yourou. She looked much better mentally, her complexion rosy instead of the usual pale and haggard look. Yet her dark circles remained, making her appear quite weak.

Inside the royal chamber, Dong Haitian closed his eyes. The jade bed beneath him radiated pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth, like rippling water light, enveloping his body and gently nourishing him.

So, everyone kept volleying questions at Qitian Chang in turn. Qitian Chang answered all without reserve, revealing everything he knew.

Luo Sheng had no special materials, so he resorted to the old-fashioned way of grilling fish. Fortunately, his soul palace contained some seasonings, primarily for cooking outdoors, which unexpectedly proved useful now.

Tang Qing chatted a while longer with Qi Lian before finding an excuse to stop, having just promised not to break his word immediately.

Whether it was Xu Ruoxun, Tian Jun, or Chen Yuhao, they had almost never encountered bottlenecks in their cultivation path. To have the Nine Nether Emperor personally nurture their bones and soul was an incomparable fortune that Sang Luo could never match.

Wang Jue did not act on the advice, nor was he told to do so. He simply flew straight out through the mountain gate. Over three hundred eyes were fixed on Flying Immortal Peak; the sudden appearance of a figure soaring from the summit instantly interrupted their meditation.

When Jack and his group arrived at Juliet’s location, they found that she too had been drawn to them and was flying toward them. They promptly switched off the lights outside their UFO.

People often say: events change lives. But it wasn’t so simple. Just as Sun Lijuan, heavily pregnant, was about to give birth, their relationship and circumstances suddenly underwent a drastic upheaval.

“Heh!” A light laugh came from the lord’s mansion. Su Niang, clad in white, cast cold eyes over the city walls at Hu Feng and the others. Yet her gaze lingered chiefly on Hu Yunsheng.

“Jiang Liangying, what’s happened to your dignity?” Ye Xuner pinched Jiang Liangying’s slightly chubby cheeks, speaking in a teasing tone.

“Cut the crap! I’m asking you—who is Song Zhe?” At this moment, Brother Hui’s tone was no longer polite but fiercely sharp.

He suddenly flew over thirty meters high, covering twenty meters in distance, and landed steadily atop a massive bronze pillar.

A person ranked around twentieth in the Blood Killing Society already moved freely within their tribe. Even the tribe’s public experts were helpless against him. Only by revealing their true strength could they contend, and even then, they could never kill Blood Forty-Five.

The arena was chaos—water screens, fog, and surging energy obscured vision, making it impossible to see clearly what was happening within.

At this point, there was no time for subtlety. He had no choice but to resort to this childish and unscrupulous trick. Covering his lower body, he muttered with a troubled expression.

“Nonsense! Is an average powerhouse comparable to that senior? Hmph!” Hong Ershao scolded his comrade before turning to leave.

At the same time, a casual glance at the merit badge showed over thirty thousand merit points, and his expression changed abruptly.

“Heh, my wife and I were like you when we were young. She used to scold me all the time. But look, she became my wife eventually,” the taxi driver said, a chatty man.

“Heng Ge, thank you!” Zhou Jiao’s eyes glistened with moisture. She turned her head away from Lu Yiheng and whispered softly.

Thus, overnight, all online news about Xia Anduo and Yin Moxue vanished completely.

“Look at this room! It reeks!” Leng Tian’s face darkened, telling her to see the condition inside for herself.

Xian Rushi sat on the left chair inside, while Sheng Changran occupied the first chair on the right.

Even a single tree or wildflower in a forest has a lifespan; theirs had long since ended. It was Wen Qingyan’s blood that granted them life, allowing them to exist eternally in this world, just like him.

The wolves following behind settled down as well, eyes fixed on Yun Mubai, low growls issuing from their throats as they cautiously crept forward. Yun Mubai swung the Thunder Sword experimentally, making the thunderclaps louder. He tried to retreat toward the tent while Mou Lei anxiously attempted to chop more branches.

“Young master, you should leave first. Staying here is truly dangerous,” Feng Ling kindly urged her to depart.

Thus, Ye Nuaxue finished an entire bowl of glutinous rice balls in one go, licking her lips with lingering satisfaction. In contrast, Bai Mu Jin bit into hers gradually.

At that moment, Xi Muyi felt panic rise. She instinctively reached out to grab Xi Ruoyan, but Xi Ruoyan was resolute. With a flick of her hand, she broke free.

When the two returned to the team by car, Cao Wei brought good news: Technician Liu had already cracked the first layer of the blog’s password and was now working hard to unlock the final layer.
