The old couple wanted one too, yet didn’t want one. They wanted it to stay in touch with friends and family, but didn’t want it because they weren’t sure they could figure it out—and it would cost money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A “puff” sound escaped—Wang Xueyan couldn’t hold back anymore: “Hehehe… buying a phone in the suburbs? Hehehe, you’re really bizarre—how did you even get here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This blue light is consuming the cultivator's flesh!\" Yao Muchen's body froze at the edge of the blue glow. Seeing the six Yao clan members charging toward him, he gritted his teeth and plunged into the blue light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that they’d just taken over and were now discarding them like used millstones; they’d all had stains on their records already. Not sending them to prison had been more than generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the snake is startled, Xin Miao will hide, and Ye Bai will likely never find him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Hu, standing nearby, saw Li Ren and Chen Lin discussing something and knew he wasn’t needed anymore. He bowed and said, \"My lord! Since you and Master Chen have matters to discuss, I’ll take my leave.\" Then he turned to withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, Dragon Brother, don’t call me that,” the trench-coated man said with a smile at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another thread of power flowed from the Destruction Demon Core in his consciousness, restoring Lang Hongxiang’s injuries—the same green leaf’s power. Even though this wound was severe, Lang Hongxiang still felt his body healing, albeit slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine Essence Crystals aren’t something this realm could possess. How could Lang Hongxiang, a newly emerged Wolf Emperor, have so many? Thinking of Xu Yaolin’s words about people from that other realm, Hou Zhenxing’s suspicion deepened further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another man walking beside Ye Zhen was the campus administrator—apparently Ye Zhen’s senior, still working for the school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ye Zhen was guessing, the boss’s scolding was justified. If Ye Zhen truly understood, this scolding might offend someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the villa, Shen Tong stared at his phone, anxious. Suddenly, it rang. He glanced at the caller ID, hesitated a moment, then answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I quickly shook Ji Guofu’s hand and explained everything in detail. Ji Guofu didn’t believe me at first—but after seeing the white tiger I’d captured, he had no doubts left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I closed my eyes, never expecting Lao San to be so reckless. I could only wait for death. The gunshot rang crisp in my ears—I knew I was done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xin continued: “The Chu army’s ambush succeeded spectacularly, and they launched relentless day-and-night assaults, breaking through Shi City by the third night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Xiaofeng sighed, knowing that once they left this specific environment and atmosphere, getting close to her again would be nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Xiaofeng didn’t want to go to Zi Huan International’s headquarters and face Shi Tianci every day—but his boss’s final words changed his mind: if Uncle needed him, he could join the headquarters anytime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How often does a skyward current appear in the seas near Magu Town?” Ian cut straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle at Ian’s words. Crocodile shot her a furious glare, and she immediately quieted down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Riding all the way to the camp, Su Ze finally calmed. His tears weren’t just from the warmth this unfamiliar family had given him—they poured out more from envy, seeing such a happy, harmonious household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did the Black Bear realize: even if he’d learned his master’s skills, even if he could withstand Sun Wukong’s golden staff, compared to a Bodhisattva-level deity, he was merely a spirit beast—pathetically weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his Corruption Points had already risen to 500; a little extravagance wouldn’t hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even until the moment he committed suicide, Jon hadn’t believed the planner’s claim that “dying in this world brings resurrection.” He killed himself only because the planner held his greatest leverage—he had no choice but to obey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the city, it was bustling—forces from all corners of the Black Horn Region kept converging within its walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a black light streaked toward them, the bandits’ defensive shields instantly activated, and their broadswords raised to block—but the shields shattered instantly. The bandits gasped in shock: this was the combined defensive power of four men! How could it be so easily broken?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Sandia’s chief’s accusation, Gan Fu opened his mouth but said nothing, finally falling silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young soldier’s face turned bright red, but he said nothing more. He handed Su Ze two vouchers: “The captain told me to give you these water vouchers—you can use them for one bath in the bathhouse.” Su Ze took them; the soldier turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Master He had already climbed the stairs, his large robe flapping behind him. From his back, it looked as if he’d even yawned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhong Xingyue felt no discomfort—these people had been imitating her for days, even weeks. She was used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Tian Tian had been glad Li Chang’an came to rescue her—but when she saw him aiming to stab her to death, her mind went utterly blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine. She knows what she’s doing. Any recent events?” Yun Haotian waved his hand, shifting to matters within the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Ruyan, utterly unprepared for this, sat dazed in the pit, staring blankly as Meng He muttered to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Fengye lifted her gaze, glancing at Qi Yino’s half-smiling, mocking expression with sharpness, then turned her head toward Mo Qianyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Ling opened her eyes dazedly. The water rippled; she wanted to speak, to cry out—but could do nothing. As she tried to recall, her hand was suddenly seized—a powerful force yanked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, by chance, they discovered the existence of the universe—and learned that other species existed within it. Terrified yet overjoyed, they were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The candle flickered, casting dim light through the room. Director Li bent slightly, unable to see the man’s face, only the corner of his apricot-yellow robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the left of the training ground lay an open field; to the right, a modern special forces training area—mud pits, elevated obstacles, and several massive horizontal logs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You just killed a man’s husband and brothers—now you expect the townspeople to submit to you the moment you enter the city?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Lian’er didn’t bother explaining to Lu Yujun—she rushed toward the door, only to find it locked from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Zhongxian’s heart lurched—he hadn’t expected these people had already decided to flay him alive.\u003C\u002Fp>",1105,"2026-06-20T15:48:26.995Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3cefb49e49793ed0b8964a5a88df2c880e07a19d8dc355b81d5af58fa2b8c211","ascending-to-the-jade-palace-chapter-144","ascending-to-the-jade-palace-chapter-142",243,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fascending-to-the-jade-palace-cover.jpg"]
