26 "Showing Off"

Lin Zhao planned to bring two pounds of pork, ten eggs, and the four remaining bottles of soda. She had just finished packing when she heard her second son calling out.

"Mom, Mom, I have big news to tell you!" The child's voice was high-pitched, filled with irrepressible excitement.

Lin Zhao, brimming with curiosity, walked quickly out of the room. "What is this big news?"

The boy replied, "My little aunt has been kicked out of the house by Grandpa."

Mo Tiange paused for a long while, speechless. No longer considered human—what did that mean? If not human, then what could it be?

Du Bing sat there blankly, his changing expressions reflecting his inner torment, remaining silent. At this moment, he truly admired He Zicheng’s eloquence. Had he not been following Commander Qian Buli—a man he deeply admired and respected—he might have long since been swayed by He Zicheng’s words.

"Father, you called me here, presumably to spar with me," Ye Wuchen said with a helpless expression.

Li Lixian hopped toward the front of the village like a monkey, with Bai Caigu following close behind her.

The others also chuckled. They agreed it was quite a coincidence; he must have been keeping a close eye on the situation after seeing Jing Feng, who had been carried away injured, suddenly recover while on the road following the people from the Flying Dragon Villa. By then, Feng Xiaoxiao and his group had already surged ahead of the others.

A teenager of sixteen or seventeen arrived back in the courtyard at that very moment, carrying a bundle of firewood on his back.

With just one sentence, she praised Lady Yu so much that the woman beamed until her eyes disappeared into wrinkles. If this had come from a servant accustomed to flattery, it might not have been as effective. But the Sixth Miss Ye was known for being taciturn and incapable of sweet talk; thus, whatever she said was always taken more seriously.

The Level 7 Sword Masters on the other side did not believe Rui An’s words and remained deeply suspicious. They looked at one another, unable to decide whether to continue the fight or retreat. The other five did not look toward Tubate, for they knew he would never let it go and would certainly demand they keep fighting.

If that were truly the case, then Bai Caigu was not saving Li Lixian, but harming her.

Xing Li feared water... Years ago, the Demon God Li Xiao had been sealed beneath the ocean, trapped by the Li Tian Formation under the water for ten thousand years! Ten thousand years was a long time; even for a Demon God, the water would leave a deep shadow in his heart.

Then, different parts of his body were struck repeatedly, a soft force transferring into him, gradually converting the downward momentum of Tu Kaqing into a rotational force.

As for his son, Liu Chengyu, Liu Cangsong was one hundred percent satisfied. Not only was he gifted in cultivation, but he was also sharp-witted—truly a gift from the heavens to the Liu family.

Furthermore, there were cowardly generals who were afraid of battle and even deserted in the face of conflict. Yet, due to factional infighting, they were ultimately acquitted without facing any punishment at all.

"Bidding begins now! Starting price: five hundred spirit stones!" the auctioneer announced, striking the gavel loudly.

The Demon Spirit Ring on his left hand flashed, shooting out a black light that enveloped the massive body of the Qilin and pulled it into the internal beast space of the ring.

"Exactly! As long as you have the ability to obtain them, they belong to you!" said Fatty Xiao’s grandfather.

Lin Yi was both surprised and happy, yet also a little worried that he might have used too much force and blown her to pieces.

Shi Han, still shaken, gasped for air, her chest heaving violently, her eyes fixed on the youth hovering in mid-air.

She recalled having examined Qiu Xuan’s left shoulder before, finding no signs of the Deadly Pill; at that time, there had been no lethal poison in his body at all.

Xuan Bo led the eighty-two inner sect disciples into the secret realm one by one, leaving only the mysterious figures in black cloaks outside.

"Hehe, as long as you girls like them. Your Auntie Qin was saying earlier that she was worried you wouldn't fancy these rings." Fang Aiyu felt genuinely happy seeing the joy on the three girls' faces.
