Chapter 336: Mother

"Come in quickly, it's cold by the door!" Lu Suhua realized her mistake and immediately picked up the luggage, guiding Zhang Hongmei into her dormitory.

Recalling the imperial court, not only had his own faction urged his father to name an heir soon, but his father had consistently delayed the decision. Now, after finally deciding to name an heir, he discovered the candidate he favored was none other than his third brother—someone they had never considered a contender, obscure and unnoticed.

"Since the master has not yet evolved and remains an ordinary human, the Immortal-Demon seals have not been unlocked," Mengmengda patiently answered this master full of questions.

Yu Xiaofeng truly did not want to help Shao Lingyun with this analysis, but he understood that Shao Lingyun was one of the few clean officials in the bureaucracy—and precisely because of that cleanliness, he showed such hesitation and anxiety when facing the court's mind games.

"I've treated all the other wounds, but the abdominal penetration wound is hard to heal," Feng Yue said gravely.

This would make others look down on you, say you can't manage affairs, can't manage people—and naturally, the system would despise you.

Only those who have lost freedom and walked the edge of life and death know what home truly means.

The elders' methods were undoubtedly correct, but precisely because of this, the nobles and commoners living under them suffered unbearable pain: what if you played with your daughter? What if you killed your master?

Xue Yun saw this fellow walking while jumping, even performing a somersault in midair—he was truly a nuisance.

Look at the Shield of Heaven-Blocking—its surface showed not a single mark; even the strongest heavenly tribulation could not harm it in the slightest.

In an instant, the Xuan Du Seal landed on the Silver Moon Fortress Lord's body; though it caused no injury, it merely forced him to stagger backward a few steps.

Don't ask why he was so certain—it wasn't just from appearance, but from the feeling he gave him. That familiar warmth, the inexplicable sense of safety and comfort when he held him—something no one else except his mother could give him. But today, that uncle was the exception, so he had already guessed.

Who knows how delighted the Purple Dragon was upon hearing Ruoyu say, "Lu Xiaohui said she'd come help you celebrate your birthday—I couldn't stand it!" He wanted desperately to kiss Ruoyu hard.

Yun Qingyan today was strong enough to sweep away all Dao Ancestors, yet even with such overwhelming combat power, he had no resistance at all against this pulling force.

"Heh, if I didn't trust my son-in-law, why would I have dismantled the Ke family's ancestral protective array?" said Ke Miao, head of the Ke family.

As soon as she sat down, she felt several intense gazes land on her. Ji Zili slightly lifted her head and met Xiao Yumin's eyes, smiling gracefully. Xiao Yumin suddenly turned pale and quickly looked away.

What the Emperor Mo confirmed was never wrong—not even the tiniest possibility of error existed.

"I'll just call you Manager Tang—it rolls off the tongue better," Li Hao casually made an excuse. He knew better than anyone: there's no such thing as a free lunch, nor unexplained affection or favor.

In the hot spring, Long Yetian suddenly opened his eyes, rose, dressed, and walked into the room.

Moments later, frost and snow vanished; the mud, footprints, and splatters of dirt left by Xu Qianyu's battle with the earth demon disappeared completely, the residual demonic energy utterly eradicated, the surroundings spotless.

After all, so many things, left in the hands of someone who barely cooks, would be wasted.

This piercing swordlight shooting into the heavens could be seen clearly by every cultivator in the Wild Heaven Realm.

On the bed, Madam Xie watched the scene in the room silently, showing no intention to intervene.

Recalling Lin Shuyue's gaze just now—moments ago filled with devotion and admiration, now utterly empty—mixed emotions surged in his heart. He felt deeply wounded, not just in pride, but in something deeper.

In the Wild Heaven Realm ten thousand years ago, every demon race that developed sentience and could transform its form aspired to the Dao of cultivation.

He had arranged with Li Ding to continue class at two in the afternoon; once he corrected all his movements, it should be about done.

He was watching "The Bachelor" here because Yang Mi refused to go to Li Mingyang's place, thinking it unsafe.

He found a breakfast shop with many customers along the road, ordered three portions, and slowly ate.

Although he severed Ning Zhen's connection to the Void and cut off this obsession, Ning Zhen still could not escape the cultivation method he had practiced before.

Because the matter was too serious, involving too many people—if investigated seriously, all the dark secrets beneath would be exposed. He feared damage to his future, so he simply ignored it.

Especially Thor—he was far too close to Yuye, making them suspect Yuye had been unfaithful. Thinking of this possibility, Lu Li's parents grew frantic and spoke at length with Lu Li, urging her to keep a close eye on Yuye.

After another half-month of cultivation, Gu Chenyuan's cultivation base finally rose to Rong Ling Seventh Stage, entering the late Rong Ling realm.

Seeing Xu Feirong was not in danger, he did not rush to appear; instead, he wanted to see how Xu Feirong would resolve the crisis.

His low realm and supremely terrifying power drew the attention of countless people, all eager to see just how far he could go.
