As soon as the painting was lifted, a sharp intake of breath swept through the grand hall, followed by gasps of astonishment.

Di Xing and Man Zhantian possessed nearly identical true combat prowess, yet one excelled in brute-force attacks, while the other specialized in defense.

Luo Mo did not offer any explanation. Instead, he picked up the old man’s tea-roasting metal mug, kindled a fire, placed the tea leaves inside, and began the roasting process. It was evident that Luo Mo’s technique was exceptionally practiced; with fluid upward and downward motions, the tea leaves fluttered gracefully in the air, presenting a mesmerizing sight.

Fortunately, his greed did not culminate in a far greater catastrophe. Otherwise, he might have brought down utter destruction upon the entire Guan family, leaving them without a burial site.

"Let's go. Remaining here truly serves no purpose," the Heavenly Supreme-tier powerhouse muttered after a series of changing expressions, finally shaking his head.

"The Dragon's Heart?" I shouted, instantly feeling a surge of excitement. Regarding the Dragon's Heart, Third Uncle had not elaborated much, mentioning only that it was a heart located within the belly of a dragon. Third Uncle had previously warned us that such a heart was not easily found and required a stroke of serendipity.

"Nothing special!" Luo Chen spat out a wisp of white mist. Possessing a formidable physical body, he remained utterly unfazed by the intense chill and potent poison.

Zuo Ying looked at Zuo Zhi in silence for a moment, then assumed an expression conveying that she fully grasped the gravity of the situation as she spoke to Zuo Zhi.

Witnessing this scene, the Mist-Skulking Tiger gave Chen Tian an entirely different impression; it actually looked as though it were preparing to charge forward. Meanwhile, Chen Tian, who had been poised to eliminate the Ghost-Horned Ape with a single blow, paused and held his ground.

Even if you acquire Sinopec through legitimate means, the common people might at most hurl a few curses or offer cynical remarks behind your back. However, if you were to stuff a gold mine into your own pockets through illicit methods, public opinion would crush you into oblivion.

Could this be what loyalty and affection truly meant? Could this be the sorrow of my entire life? Despite a lifetime of unbridled arrogance, not a single person was willing to die for me.

Back when "NoName" was still at the height of its power, Leticia had visited this district more than once. Although she was not as familiar with it as the city where she resided, acting as a guide posed no problem at all.

Some later generations claimed that Qiao Xuan was the father of the Two Qiaos of Jiangdong, but viewed from the present perspective, that was nothing more than a baseless rumor.

Chen Banshan showed no leniency toward individuals like the Three Treasures of the Capital, agreeing that they could continue gambling on credit, provided they signed an IOU.

Liu Ruo'er's voice rang out instantly. Utterly displeased, she wondered what madness had seized her eldest sister to actually speak up twice on behalf of Long Tian. If Liu Yanran had not intervened the first time, Wan Liuyu would have already killed Long Tian, sparing them this whole chain of events.

This third category encompassed commerce, craftsmanship, blacksmithing, invention, agriculture, and a myriad of other fields. It could be said that this category was all-encompassing, including almost all of those formerly despised professions.

That being the case, the Wanyan family could confirm that she was indeed the City Lord! Even if she were not the City Lord, she was undeniably a disciple personally taken in by Jiang Wuyi.

At this thought, Carlos immediately envisioned himself recreating his brilliant dribbling performance from Anfield, allowing eighty thousand Real Madrid fans to witness his grace firsthand.

Right now, Chen Banshan was akin to a great fiend. If he were simply allowed to leave unchecked, wouldn't the precepts and slogans of the Buddhist sect amount to nothing more than empty words and deception?

Under the煅烧 of the flames, his physical body underwent a transformation as stark as the difference between a middle-aged adult and an ignorant child. His origin power likewise leaped by an entire realm. What excited Xiao Yan even more was that the twenty-three distinct heavenly flame origins hidden within his body had completely fused into a single unified flame.

Seeing his aura fluctuate so violently while he muttered to himself, both White Impermanence and Meng Po wore expressions of shock, which instantly morphed into ecstatic delight.

"To waste three years here? Far too not worth it! The outside world is wonderfully vibrant, after all!" A smile surfaced at the corner of Ye Chen's mouth as he spoke.

Liang Yuhao chose to strike first. As the saying goes, he who strikes first gains the upper hand. If he could manage to knock out one of them immediately, dealing with the remaining one would become much simpler, and he probably wouldn't need to waste any scumbag points.

"You guys chat; I need to go prepare for my next scene," Su Lanzhi said with a curl of her lip before choosing to leave.

Rong Lan watched as Madam Hu wept prettily, her tears falling like pear blossoms in the rain. Knowing that Rong Hai was most susceptible to Madam Hu's act, she had no intention of letting Madam Hu and her son off so easily. After all, Madam Hu possessed not an ounce of maternal affection; when Ling Xin held her hostage, she had actually refused to offer her own life in exchange.

In this world, "Miracles" were merely large-scale natural phenomena on par with what their original world called "earthquakes," "tornadoes," or "tsunamis"—merely the recreation of these natural phenomena through human exertion.

Though she spoke very softly, given their level of cultivation, how could such words possibly evade their ears?

Almost simultaneously, directly opposite Ye Chen, another large door swung open, and Wang Kai's figure appeared before the crowd. Those who had just been optimistic about Ye Chen furrowed their brows, heavy expressions clouding their faces.

"What—what should we do now? If Father fails to break through and we lose the Gongsun family as our backing, the Gu family is finished!" Gu Xiong said, thoroughly flustered and at a loss.

Fearing that Han Jinyu might try to feed him milk formula, he pressed his face directly against the pillow and lay face down on the bed, turning his back to her.

That imposing aura seemed capable of controlling everything. At times, Han Jinyu could catch glimpses of that demeanor in Qi Ruize—precisely the way he looked when he was immersed in his work.

At this moment, her most prized, beautiful face had been slashed open, and her terror and panic were the most genuine reactions possible.

"Every time, we only get to eat the leftovers." Glancing at the five large beasts brawling fiercely amongst themselves, a dark-skinned, emaciated demi-human muttered under his breath.
