(105) Rather than draining yourself internally, it's better to drive others crazy.

The more Liu Yi thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Her anger flaring up, she sent Sprout directly.

Like a little white snake—short, stubby, yet nimble—it slipped silently into Liu Xixi's trouser leg.

Liu Yi was waiting for a report when she heard someone opening the door with a key.

It was her biological father returning.

Liu Yunwei's hair was grizzled, and he wore a set of nearly new, tech-fabric long-sleeved shirt and pants. His bearing was as scholarly and refined as ever.

He took out a snakeskin bag.

Meanwhile, my internal organs felt as if they were on fire. The pain made me writhe constantly, but it was useless—the more I squirmed, the more intense the agony became. I thought I would die from it, tears streaming down my face, until I passed out cold.

Chen Xueshan's life had been saved, but her body—once seized by a divine soul—had endured power no human could bear, leaving her perilously weak. I had to treat her, or her life would be in danger.

On the way back, Brother Li talked cheerfully to Zhao Mu the whole time. He was glad that Zhao Mu had won Li Jian's support, and he told Zhao Mu to do well at the upcoming "Rock Night" event, striving for a good placement.

As I spoke, I gave Yi Bingyun a kiss. A look of utter contentment crossed her face, and she drifted off to sleep. Holding her, I fell asleep as well.

Compared with Xu Feng, who had cultivated his strength through bitter effort, the gap was still obvious. Most important of all, Xu Feng possessed the physique of a Behemoth beastman, something the demon race could never have.

The Jinshi Group was one of the top ten conglomerates in China. From its executives down to its underworld connections, its power reached every level of society. It might not have been invincible, but it could certainly be called a regional hegemon.

But after Lan'er's little scene earlier, that idea had vanished. She was certain that the wood elves around them had all turned hostile toward Lan'er by now. If they really stayed here for a few days, there was no telling what trouble would stir up. The better part of valor was to leave at once.

Xu Feng gently stroked her long hair, breathing in the alluring fragrance of her body. No matter what today had brought, a reward like this was more than enough.

I was sweating bullets. I really wanted to ask, girl, do you remember how many questions you've just asked me?

"I remember. If you can't manage it, no harm done—but if you pull it off, I'll give you wealth and glory beyond your dreams!" Brother Hao's face was stern, and my heart tightened at once.

Ye Qian sensed it as well. Still, Ren Liang had clearly paid a heavy price to defeat him. He took a deep breath and continued his Divine Sky Five Strides.

Once he learned that the Black Coal Gang's Black Cloud gold mine was in the desert, Ye Kai sped off with his men.

Hao Zhi said nothing, only gazing at the blue lotus "flowers" one by one, his eyes welling up once more.

"I'm sorry, but I can't destroy it. The Asura Evil God's incarnation is extremely hard. He said that only the Four-Cultivation God would be capable of destroying it," the Demon Sovereign said apologetically.

This time Wei Qilang remained silent, but his actions were the exact opposite. The more she said don't touch him, the more he touched her—and he even pulled her into a tight embrace, refusing to let go no matter how Dong Ru struggled. In the end Dong Ru gave up, but she would not even look at him.

Hearing such an offhand tone, Dong Ru felt a sweet thrill in her heart, yet she asked shyly, "Then do you think I'd look nice in it?" She had never worn such beautiful clothes, and she worried that she did not deserve such fine fabric—and feared even more that her husband would say she did not look good.

"Hahaha, absurd. Is this how you pursue immortality?" Elder Gongyang seemed to disdain the notion entirely, glancing at him.

"So, tell me—why have you come looking for me?" Wang Kai shrugged, his demeanor calm and detached.

The Blood Sword Ancestor laughed wildly now, his face utterly crazed. He could sense that Li Yunfeng's mythic golden core was on the verge of being shattered by him.
