If one eats the flesh of a stronger mutant, would one’s cultivation base increase more significantly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who’s child is Tu Ku Ku? Doesn’t he know? It’s Fu Qi’s—this old bastard just loves to tease others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Feng~” Her slender white arms wrapped around the man’s neck as Jiang Wan smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yu and Ding Guofeng both loved drinking and would often show up at Zui Long Peak to beg for good liquor, making Ding Guofeng’s heart ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also curious about how these items were made—were they crafted like elixirs?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Feng suddenly stepped forward, raised his hand again, clenched it into a fist… and the space around the purple-clad youth twisted once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet… nothing changed. The ring still rested quietly on Hugo’s finger, as if nothing at all had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some point, the glacier had removed its hat and stood beside Si Qi, its sapphire eyes glowing brilliantly, as if its heart were wildly “excited.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, Wang Zha had been waiting for the third challenge’s question, but long passed without any sign—he wondered what trickery this was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Zha downed the Er Guo Tou in one gulp, reeking of alcohol, laughing loudly like a drunken fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Mrs. Payne, what use does it have once successfully cultivated?” Hugo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible! He couldn’t possibly have seen through me! But why did my heart feel so uneasy? What’s going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their clear figures gradually vanished from the crowd’s sight; all they saw were two black phantoms violently clashing in midair, each impact unleashing a storm of fist shadows accompanied by a thunderous roar that shook heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Si Qi’s companion, friend—even brother! To be treated this way by someone so close—how could it still face Si Qi as a brother or continue as a friend?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Myself, Uncle Jiu, and Uncle Zhang—we looked at each other, then all shook our heads, not understanding what Fatty was gesturing at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of which, based on Ye Zhuo’s simple judgment, he could conclude it was beyond his current ability to handle; the best choice was to leave and avoid provoking it. Otherwise, staying here might draw their attention at any moment—and that would be a massive trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother, I know a shortcut up the mountain—if we avoid the days when the Sikong family’s herbalists come to gather herbs, they won’t spot us.”\u003C\u002Fp>",724,"2026-06-19T21:28:29.248Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9a6807052828dbdee52256ff00b53bceb2df7600796c34647e791d3b2c996218","even-a-gentleman-must-be-careful-chapter-805","even-a-gentleman-must-be-careful-chapter-803",864,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feven-a-gentleman-must-be-careful-cover.jpg"]
