From now on, Yu Yu will be your pet.

The big carp seemed to understand their conversation; its tiny eyes were filled with panic and dread, the golden rims flushed red, and its fins, like little hands, were restless and uneasy. Was it still doomed to be eaten? Its sixth sense told it this was a kind-hearted girl. Had it misjudged her? Its heart felt cold and desolate! Amid the sound of Liang Zuan sharpening his knife, it struggled to calm itself with its fish brain.

Dark armor, adorned with the royal insignia, symbolized the rank of royal officers. The fine sword at their waist and the resolute steps made the tavern feel like a military camp. Xie Xuan dared to confront them openly, surely prepared for everything, and escaping was within expectations. Tie Ya Han and his companions remained motionless, alert to the slightest movement around them; if anyone was indeed following, impatience would force them to reveal themselves, otherwise, with their proximity to the portal, they could slip away in a heartbeat.

Tian Yang immediately called out to those around him. The fragment of the Celestial Ascension Tree had been auctioned for a hundred immortal pills, far exceeding Tian Yang’s expectations, prompting him to shout in haste.

Thus, within the spatial black hole, a figure entirely made of earth and stone, like a carved statue, was shrouded in a cloud of black demonic energy, utterly still.

Su Hanmeng originally wanted to change the subject, but suddenly a thought struck her, nearly making her cry out in surprise.

A fiery aura spread, engulfing half the world; under its searing presence, the surrounding trees withered in moments.

“Was it your people who wrecked the vegetable base in Yulin Village?” Han Ning stepped forward, stomping on the bald man's hand, twisting it on the ground. Another agonized scream followed.

Qin Mu wasted no time, reaching out and snatching the fragment of the Celestial Ascension Tree. At that moment, a surge of divine consciousness swept toward the fragment, probing its secrets.

“Is there any way to dispel this Yama poison? For example, some miraculous elixir?” Chu Linfeng asked.

The car moved along, Tang Yue kept her eyes closed, while Lian He could only glance sideways at Tang Yue, unable to utter a word.

They pressed their ears to the wooden boards, listening for sounds outside. Soon, someone entered the thatched hut, seemingly rummaging for something.

Lian Qingyang made phone calls everywhere; when Lian He received the call, he was utterly bewildered, unable to react for a long while.

Liu Che and Sun Yichen needed no introduction. The third to arrive at the training hall was Bai Cheng. In the entertainment world, the name Bai Cheng was somewhat unfamiliar, few knew who he was. However, mention another name, and young audiences would instantly recognize: Bai Da Hammer.

For the sixty-eighth birthday of the old master of the Lian family, even if not celebrated with grand festivities, well-acquainted friends would always come to offer their congratulations.

“Has my sister eaten yet? I brought some food home for her,” Su Mei asked, lifting the food box in her hand.

This was the most crucial defensive line in Yu City; as long as it held, Yu City would not fall. All the army’s supplies were stored at the foot of Fotu Pass, and when Qin Shi arrived, he was captivated by the vast encampment before his eyes.

Ever since leaving Longyuan, Lu Ye often recalled the days spent with Lu Beidou. Not because he held any special feelings for Lu Beidou, but because he realized that whenever Lu Beidou was around, no matter the situation, despair never took hold.

Indeed, under normal circumstances, when Qiao Heng spoke those words earlier, Zhou Cheng should have broken off the engagement and left, and all would have saved face. Yet Zhou Cheng, stubborn as ever in such matters, ignored the Qiao family’s stance, simply wanting a clear answer from Qiao Yu Wei.

With no worries for food or clothing, surrounded by dozens of program staff, the effect was sure to be extraordinary.
