He’d faced life and death many times; one more didn’t matter. He turned his eyes to the two sets of armor beside the bed, took one up, and slowly, solemnly, put it on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if doing so would erase Xia Chuxiao’s resentment toward him, he wouldn’t mind saving Yan Yiheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gentle gaze settled on her—her eyebrows like distant ink-wash mountains, her large eyes sparkling like pools of clear water, her nose refined as jade, her lips softly pursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Wu blinked, and since falling, he often reflected on these past years. He’d done many wrong things, but he didn’t want them to affect the next generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving confirmed news, the three didn’t hesitate—they immediately left, got in the car, and drove off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that very moment, that instant, the Snake Demon suddenly roared, crushing all his power forward, unleashing the full force of the thunder tribulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu’s gaze swept toward the Star Sword Sect’s viewing stand and asked: “Which Star Lord from the Star Sword Sect will step forward to fight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Yang Bo suddenly mentions the next realm—what does that mean? Is the Golden Warrior not the peak?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What… what’s going on?” the Rain Emperor stared at the mist-like Wind Emperor, his face full of confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So from the very beginning, Chu Nan had been playing the boy-who-cried-wolf game, repeatedly implanting it into Dao Wu Men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What happened? What on earth was going on? Not just Ning Tao and the others froze—the Japanese ninjas were equally stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Nan was also frustrated by Wei Jingchen’s fall—he’d once been so spirited, such a flamboyant, arrogant playboy; now reduced to this, even Chu Nan felt uneasy seeing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After I cultivated, I indeed felt the noisy sounds around me vanish; when I raised my head again, the wedding procession was gone—only the massive palanquin remained in the middle of the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are there truly long-lived races? Not necessarily. Though the Beast King Token grants longevity, if we already possess innate longevity, our power grows even greater—especially right after we obtain the token.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for these black-robed men, with the Beast King held back, the Fifty-First Area was still far weaker in elite combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch your own men better—daring to harass people in broad daylight? What kind of conduct is this? Today our esteemed guest is in a good mood and won’t press charges; next time we catch you, you’ll lose a hand,” Qin Shan scolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you still alive?” the Mermaid Princess asked calmly, but her eyebrows and eyes sparkled with joy—she had clearly watched Lin Yu’s ultimate battle, valued him, and believed he might one day rival the Ancient Dragon God; seeing him unharmed, her relief was natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Shu now remembered: the day she arrived in Fengjia City, it had been raining spring showers; meaning, the paper kite must have been hiding at Mo Chou Lake Residence for over half a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Augustin had learned that the two were scions of two ancient Chinese noble families, and understood their strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xiao Hun’s gaze slowly drew back from the heavens, finally satisfied—her heart, her soul, were content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Zining was also suffering—how many evil souls were there in the Western Frontier? She’d just held off four alone, slain one, and only then could she rush to aid them; hearing Lin Yu’s complaint, she had no energy left for banter, focused her mind on the enemy, and battle erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yicai frowned slightly—the man before him had an ordinary face; after so long in Heaven’s Sword Sect, he had no memory of him. Xiao Yicai was certain this was their first meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man nodded, staring at the sword—the soft blade suddenly grew softer, even softer, and more sinister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Qiutong was slightly surprised, but upon reflection, Yan Qing and Yan Hao did look somewhat alike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow! Mommy, the scenery here is amazing! We can dive straight into the sea from the room!” Sakura Ruo Ruo opened the door and gazed at the ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mai Ba is my dog—who dares?!” Wen’s father strode forward, dark-faced, grabbing Mai Ba’s neck protectively and glaring fiercely at Jiang Ying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Siyu watched Wen Yichu’s disheveled state—her hair stuck to her cheeks, her collar torn, her pale skin exposed, stabbing his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, countless pink petals drifted down over Kunlun City, carrying a faint fragrance that refreshed the spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Yifu was an old fox—he clearly saw Hong Kong’s land prices had plunged due to political instability; cinema chains were worthless now; selling at this moment would be a huge loss. Even though Du Qi’s offer carried a high premium, he still refused to budge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you’re just a urologist…” Sakura Ruo Ruo looked at Sakura Jiunian with a pouty expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So facing Huo Li’s punch, Hua Jin’s reaction was to half-turn his body, raise his right hand backward, and grip the handle of the giant hammer he’d just knocked flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, you also want to hire a fortune expert to perform a ritual?” The driver, hearing no sound from the back seat, asked proactively.\u003C\u002Fp>",1170,"2026-06-19T21:28:29.248Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9fff4055d3d7f7ac357fb37af2aeb3646c420d8d3cc5e53cea70c3cd6a42530c","even-a-gentleman-must-be-careful-chapter-839","even-a-gentleman-must-be-careful-chapter-837",864,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feven-a-gentleman-must-be-careful-cover.jpg"]
