Chapter 66: Intimacy.

Upon hearing these words, the adjutant was momentarily struck dumb, unsure whether he should be more astonished that Duke Luxia did not demand Colonel Grace to hand over his salary card, or that Colonel Grace could so intimately address his own male superior by his given name.

Either option was utterly beyond his imagination.

Even as a primary spouse, one would hardly dare to address their male superior by his childhood nickname with such familiarity, let alone imagine a male superior who had no interest in claiming his male partner's assets. Although Grace was within Lai...

As for such a reality, whether many of those incredible occurrences would genuinely draw the attention of others—to be honest, that was an absolute certainty.

It would be a miracle if these vengeful spirits did not riot; yet, before absolute power, all of this was utterly useless.

Though the features and figures of the newcomers could not be clearly discerned, many of the wizards present could not help but blurt it out.

Old Ma and Zhao Hui looked on in utter bewilderment. To their eyes, the relic was still just a relic—there was no monk in yellow robes, nor could they hear any profound Buddhist teachings. All they saw was Xu Changsheng beside himself with joy, muttering to himself as if he had lost his mind.

Once or twice might be attributed to sheer luck, but after four or five consecutive failures in spatial containment, Alice could safely conclude that this junior apprentice was indeed capable of perceiving the existence of spatial forces, which only intensified her desire to put an end to him.

"It's all because of that fellow surnamed Han! That very afternoon, the flagship store called and fired Sister Liu! Pah, just because you have money, you think you're so extraordinary?" Before the manager could speak, a clerk who was close to Sister Liu could not hold back and chimed in first.

According to legend, when a person of great virtue is born, their room is often filled with a wondrous fragrance that drifts ten miles away—yet that was merely the accidental leakage of innate primordial breath. Out of every ten cultivators, all ten possess innate primordial breath, but those who can truly refine it and apply it at will are fewer than one in ten.

Time was running short. The Demon Emperor had to utilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to break through the impending tribulation and welcome a new birth.

By this time, Xuanyan had perhaps gradually begun to diverge from his former self. Previously, he could accept failure and was capable of failing, but could he truly accept and endure so-called failure now?

When the three of them walked to the entrance of the karaoke lounge, approached him, and saw the other person's face more clearly, a name popped into his mind.

Yulin had long anticipated this response. Glancing sideways at the frail figure on the bed, she lightly bit her lower lip, then suddenly spun around and soared into the air.

In the past, even when Lu Jue was reprimanding others, he would never say anything that made it too difficult for them to step down. Hearing him speak like this now, Liu Fuling could not help giggling softly—after all, he was just a mortal too, possessed of all normal human emotions and desires.

"Oh, right, she left something for me to give you," Wang Zhanli said as he retrieved a scroll from the password cabinet nearby.

One thing they did know, however: they were no longer free. Their new rulers would exert absolute control over them, unlike the previous masters who had granted a certain degree of freedom.

His hands did not stop for a moment, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air as he rapidly continued to form hand seals.

Lin Yue's eyelids felt heavy. Suddenly, he gave a dry cough, his palm opened flat, and a flawlessly white flower floated above it.

Hearing this, Xiao Rang finally breathed a sigh of relief, though he remained uneasy. The flame seed of the Undying Ancestor Sovereign was nothing to scoff at; after breaking through, Tong'er must have left some severe hidden danger within her body.

"Brother-in-law, could this child really be your illegitimate offspring!" Ouyang Huier could not resist teasing.

"Dragon Spear!" Burning her peak Tianyao Realm cultivation to the limit, Duanmu Zhige swung the Pojun Spear, sending a thousand-foot-long flying dragon sweeping across the firmament.

Zhou Ruoshui leaned against Lu Jue's embrace, lowered her head to gaze at her bandaged right hand, and let out a stealthy, unexplainable chuckle.
