Volume 1, Chapter 40: Why Didn't You Say It Hurt?

Blowing on the flint, he lit the candle placed on the vanity; the flame flared up, dispelling a portion of the darkness.

"Both Buddhism and Hinduism were born from Brahmanism. Today, Buddhism has all but vanished from the Indian subcontinent..." Lahar Singh had no choice but to explain the situation in the Indian subcontinent in greater detail.

Previously, the herb sprite Xing had abducted Mu Yirong to force a marriage, triggering a battle between supernatural beings that gave Mu Yirong a terrifying look into the nature of sorcery.

Mu Yirong gazed at Ruicao for a long time before asking her who had bestowed such responsibilities and duties upon her.

However, Huo Tingshen was not someone to be trifled with; threatening him was no different from pulling a tiger’s teeth.

As he spoke, he sighed, noting that Mu Yirong should be aware that this year’s southern floods had caused severe disaster across many prefectures and counties.

Her heart pounding uncontrollably, Leng Mengyao dared not stay, struggling to break free, yet Su Xun seemed to have no intention of letting her go.

Ruicao, brushing the pastry crumbs from her hands, remarked that while she lacked money and held a low position, she was certainly a master at fighting.

Seeing Ling Ye arrive last, one could naturally guess that the Ling family had suffered an internal rift, and a look of someone ready to watch a good show appeared on their face.

"Why don't you carry her? Look at my old arms and legs..." Before Old Man Zhong could finish, I kicked his scrawny backside and said viciously, "Clean up your own mess." With that, I turned and walked deep into the underground space.

Such a scene clearly looked like Si Liting bullying Su Jinxi, and one would instinctively want to protect her.

"What? Afraid I’ll die?" Guan Yue said. He wasn't a coward; regardless of what the shut-in Deng Hui thought back home, he walked upright and stood tall.

War would escalate sooner or later; when that day came, billions of lives would be caught in the conflict, and the cruelty would be beyond compare.

Deng Huang heard this and remained unimpressed, thinking that since his own sons were already leading troops to the front, what other desperate measures could there be?

A white light flashed in Nezha’s hand, and a long spear appeared. Grabbing the spearhead, Nezha thrust it forward with great force.

At this moment, Gu Anan would raise an eyebrow and look at Si Liting triumphantly; with Gu Jin as her trump card, she wasn't afraid of failing to keep him in check.

A-Shui felt genuine admiration. He was a clever man, yet he could not grasp the profound arts of formations and military strategy. From the moment he stepped into the martial world, he had been filled with reverence for such people, and at this moment, he was utterly awestruck by Jiang Fengyu.

"Lord Tang is too modest. Once the City Lord’s order arrives, the training ground will be at your full disposal," the Chief Guard said with a faint smile.

But Yanyu knew that Yin Xiaoxiao and the Gold Walker were not just going to deal with the Sloppy King alone. The Moon Lake Palace dominated the martial world; how could it rely solely on the strength of one Sloppy King? Yet, why the Sloppy King did not show himself, Yanyu could not fathom.

The Stone Heart Fire was a flame born from a spirit-imbued jade; its color was brilliant, and it burned living beings like a maggot in the bone, impossible to extinguish.

Shen Dinghai hurriedly made a joke to comfort him, and Ranran also soothed him, saying she was merely expressing thoughts, not offering constructive criticism.

Lu Xicheng only begged her not to block him again and to give Jin Han a chance, but he never asked her to hinder Nan Yu.

Xia Lingxuan merely waved his hand, and Lin Feng’s personal guards turned directly into dust, scattering across the valley.

"The pheasant is here!" Fortunately, a steaming, aromatic stewed pheasant descended from the sky to save Jingting.

Under the setting sun, Ren Ruyi held Jingting’s neck, their lips pressed together like a still ink wash painting that was slowly drifting away.

Even if he lost, he would have no regrets. Inferior in skill, inferior in strategy, inferior in planning—a hidden dragon lies in the abyss; once he goes into hiding, he can raise his banner again another day.

In the twelve hours of the day, officials in the capital ranked at the sixth grade or above were required to enter the palace, while those from the fifth to the sixth grade awaited the court outside the hall; only those above the fifth grade entered the hall for discussions.

Even if there were no other cultivators in this world and no threats, he would not abandon his habit of learning new things.

Yet, the reason he put on such an act was merely to pretend he didn't know her, leaving her with a complex mix of emotions.

Talismans, formations... as long as they existed in this world, he could produce them. Whenever asked where he obtained these things, the answer was invariably the same: he had stumbled into a secret realm and acquired them by chance.

Ji Xiangnuan asked, looking at the Ferris wheel, roller coaster, and carousel before her, her decision-making paralysis kicking in again.

As for Bai Yu, she had gone out full of spirit but returned looking withered; Bai Li did not miss the fear and dread in her eyes when she looked at Wu Nan.

Chi Hanyu smiled at Zhang Youyi and said, "I never intended to drag you into this. The people I sent were merely to protect you from being taken away by Chi Yinyu."

Bai Ge wondered if he could fight the shadow in this world of consciousness. In any case, whenever he encountered such a situation, he felt that running away was always the right move.

Ye Chen suspected that the Blood Orchid he sought was below. He didn't know the effects of the Blood Orchid yet, but he felt it was the secret behind the giant snake’s mutation.

Whenever Fangqi finished her morning greetings and accompanied Lady Wang back to Mingyu Pavilion, she would take the initiative to serve Lady Wang her breakfast; only then was the morning ritual considered complete.

"Um, there are some things I’d like to ask your advice on." Shen Xingzhi didn't know if she could help him figure out what gift to give.

Even though he was now at the Heavenly Dao Realm, it would still take considerable effort to shatter a Great World, and while shattering a Constant World was not impossible, it would likely take a very long time.

Bantong was no fool; he knew that if he handed over the map, he would be sent to the guillotine immediately.

Chunyuan assumed that he just wanted to keep her company now, her mind filled with the infinite possibilities for the two of them.

The Giant God FA only revealed its upper body, clamped onto the Aimunjia that was trying to attack Iruma, and pulled it into the Mirror World with a powerful tug. A moment later, the Giant God FA reappeared in outer space.

Xiao Heng’s eyes were filled with soft allure as he nestled in Duan Qianhuan’s arms, appearing as if he had melted into a pool of spring water.

They had come today, hearts full of joy, hoping to show their worth, thinking they had a chance to enter the Prince Regent’s mansion.

"But I want to protect—protect such humanity, because I have already seen the most worthy scene to protect!" Da Gu was filled with fighting spirit, his exhaustion and pain unable to conquer him.

Ke Yu returned the look with a faint smile. The three people before him were of no consequence, so his heart was not yet fully at ease.
