Volume 1, Chapter 53: Growing Fonder of You

A strange sound came from behind, causing Liya to turn her head involuntarily, staring sensitively toward the window. She was certain she hadn't misheard the sound just now.

"Don't be afraid. Just tell me what you saw." Since he didn't know what Lilian was hesitating about, Zuo Youqian could only comfort her broadly.

Wang Fu stood on a staircase resembling a villa, facing millions of people below, smiling generously. She looked like a completely different person compared to the present her.

The person holding the shield was none other than Han Feng. The moment Lillian rushed forward earlier, he had prepared himself to help. At the critical juncture, he brought out this heavy shield and placed it in front of Lillian, saving her life.

When he stood up and saw that shattered sign, he sighed and began to walk out of the house.

Disregarding the cramped space inside the carriage, Chen Fangping actually picked up Yixia, holding her in his arms, placed her on his lap, and wrapped both hands around her soft waist.

Yesterday, Junior Brother Mo severed the right hands of all you Senior Brothers. I am afraid some poison has already seeped into your bodies along with the wounds.

After noticing this, Caidie came up with an idea for their family. She had the master of the house push a cart to the main street to attract customers. Once a reputation was established, people would naturally come in to patronize them.

It was clear that Zuo Youqian was truly exhausted. Team Leader Zhou chose not to disturb him, glanced at the needle mark on the back of Zuo Youqian's hand, and thoughtfully closed the car window to prevent him from catching a cold.

Bamboo Joint and Princess Autumn Leaf lowered their heads silently, tears welling up in their eyes with a sense of lingering reluctance. In their hearts, they naturally hated to see the humans leave, yet they were unwilling to delay the humans' journey either, leaving them torn with inner conflict.

That phrase "Let me do it" was not liberating her; instead, it pinched tighter like scorpion pincers, leaving her breathless and making her feel foolish and despicable for the very first time.

If prior to this, people might have speculated that their lack of large-scale pursuit and slaughter was due to some kind of pressure—believing that wantonly killing enemy players after a battle would undoubtedly invite more protests and condemnation—

Seeing this situation, Bettina was burning with anxiety inside, yet she was utterly helpless. Bettina knew that when the Royal City of Ciana was built back then, virtually the entire nation's resources were mobilized. The former ruler of the Saji Empire had ordered its construction precisely to create an impregnable fortress.

The sound rippled outward as the elderly man in green robes pointed towards the sky and made a pressing gesture. The entire Five Finger Mountain came to an abrupt halt right in the air, remaining completely motionless.

Qinglang proudly wagged his antennae. Through his compound eyes with stereoscopic vision, the astonished expressions of everyone were taken in at a glance. Animals were just like humans; who wouldn't speak of the beauty of their own hometown?

Although the legendary duke spoke casually, this undoubtedly demonstrated his attitude from another perspective.

The military force defending Kucha City was originally quite small. Ever since the captives of the Harsha Empire were detained in Kucha, the Protectorate had dispatched another portion of its forces outside the city to supervise the captives in farming, village building, and elephant herding, leaving the forces within the city even scarcer.

The Holy Court, a regressive realm in the Three Lords domain, was merely an exception among exceptions, something unseen in countless eons.

Early the next morning, the several thousand troops personally led by Hu Hualin had completed their assembly. To avoid attracting the attention of other players, he split them up into separate operations and then rendezvoused again dozens of miles away from the target stronghold.

"Customer, if you want it, you can take this pearl for thirty gold coins." The clerk also knew that this pearl was practically no different from trash, which was why he offered such a low price.

Without any surprise, Faith's proposal was immediately rejected by the Glory City branch of the church. The conflict between the forces of light and darkness was no longer a simple skirmish; the intensity of the battle was escalating continuously. At this moment, top-tier powerhouses above level 70 had already entered the fray on the battlefield in the Dawn District, and even the shadows of Apostles were present.

Upon returning to the Law Enforcement Hall of the Azure Lotus Sect, Luoshi would visit the highest peak of Lotus Mountain every day, standing with her back facing the direction of the Red Demon Mountain.

Through computerized temperature-controlled alchemy, thousands of medicinal herbs could be refined into over a thousand bottles of pills within a single day.

At an altitude of over seven thousand meters, the air was extremely thin, making it impossible for ordinary people to stay for long periods, let alone engage in strenuous exercise.

"Really? If filming starts at the end of the year, I can clear my schedule. But I still need to go back and discuss this with my manager first." Hu Ge was pleasantly surprised, never expecting an opportunity to present itself so suddenly. This was completely like a pie falling from the sky.

Of course, Lily and the others possessed even stronger combat capabilities. Although they experienced both wins and losses in battle, they won far more than they lost. Consequently, Lily and the others gradually climbed to Silver Tier 1, 5 Stars. Now, they were just one match away from stepping into Gold, but unfortunately, no matter what they tried, they just couldn't win that final match.

In the end, all of them would die—dying of sudden death. It would not implicate the Yan Mansion, nor would it implicate Xie Jingyan. Not only would the Emperor not hate her, but he would also cherish her memory for a lifetime.

Upon hearing Magistrate Xun's words, even Huijue felt anger and murderous intent rise within his heart at that moment.

Early this morning, Bai Yu, who was still deep in slumber, was bizarrely awakened by the commotion in the living room. You must know that this master was an unshakable sleep god; waking up at this hour was truly about to break a Guinness World Record.

A terrifying aura of slaughter permeated around Ling Xiang, causing the surrounding void to tremble violently. He charged across the void, seemingly transforming into a peerless god of slaughter, akin to a demon who had killed hundreds of millions of living beings, with an aura of horrifying proportions.

That was a terrifying place, home to nearly a thousand species of mutated insects among the wilderness beasts. Even the Crystal Warriors of the Holy King City dared not approach the Insect Valley casually.
