Chapter 645

Xiao Yu first heard of the "Ten Fiends of the West" after capturing the Water Monkey.

The Water Monkey told her about the fame and titles of the Ten Fiends of the West—"Heaven-Piercing Rat King," "Sky-Obscuring Golden Eagle King," "Azure Water Nightlord King," "Ten-Thousand-Year Fox King," "Unicorn Rhinoceros Demon King," "Peacock Xiao Ming Wang"... They sounded like a cheap circus act.

It wasn't that their titles lacked grandeur—it was that Xiao Yu had seen too many demons and monsters with even more imposing titles but utterly pathetic power.

She didn't at the time

She was just about to release a bit more internal force to pin Ouyang Xiu to the ground, but Ouyang Xi and the others nearby sensed something amiss.

Fortunately, a deputy general of a prince years ago salvaged some losses, preventing total annihilation, and brought him back. I still remember when I went to see him—he was nearly dead, his body icy cold, and he slept for a full month.

At this moment, Zhang Ruyun was restless, so he paced to the palace entrance to see them off. He could only think: how pure and kind Yang Biyun's heart was—if Xiang Qiu had still been alive, how fortunate she would have been to meet such a good person. At this thought, a flood of emotions surged, and, overcome, he sat motionless on the stone steps of the palace entrance for half the day.

For some reason, Mu Xiyah suddenly laughed—a radiant smile, yet beneath it lay boundless murderous intent.

The two were locked in a furious quarrel, and Zhang Ruyun spent considerable effort to calm Yan Niang, persuading her to stop arguing with Xielongzi.

It was during the recent exam that Qin Yibai, on a whim, proposed in an open-ended essay question that the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang held hidden secrets, boldly speculating that the currently discovered but undeveloped tomb was in fact a decoy, far less mysterious than the outside world claimed.

Seeing how frightened she was, Leo finally relented, pleased with himself, and stopped teasing her. He eased off the accelerator, and the car slowed.

Afterwards, the physician was summoned. Behind a screen, he instructed Wu Niangzi and the others to carefully examine Zheng Deling's arm and legs—no fractures or severe sprains were found; the pain in her arm came from instinctively gripping the staircase railing to steady herself during the collision.

As she spoke, Lan Jie entered the room, ignoring Su Lianhuan's disapproval, and without invitation, set down her bag and sat on the sofa.

Suddenly, a chill rose from her heart. Feng Wuqing slightly turned his head and looked through the space between the two tiger-girls—over there stood the Four Divine Temples' contingent. At their head, a young man glared at him with clear hostility, his lips twitching—perhaps because he thought Feng Wuqing was handsome?

On the last day of the year, the Internal Investigation Division officially concluded its inquiry into Xu Jiajun—he was reinstated to his former post and granted a year-end vacation, to return after the New Year.

Qin Ying sat there helplessly; Gu Shenshen was the core problem, so she had no way to deal with Zhou Ci.

In this business venue teeming with big shots, hardly anyone paid her special attention—everyone was busy with their own greetings and socializing.

So even though many classmates didn't want their report cards, Sun Lili decided to follow her superior's instructions and distribute them as soon as possible.

Xu Chujian merely wanted to hear why—he had no intention of spending time or energy becoming the one to raise the banner.

So to save as much time as possible, I decided to ride my bike up the mountain first and dig out the pit.

Hearing that familiar voice, Qin Yiyuan immediately recognized the arrivals as Bai Zhi and Nan Xing.

Then, by drawing Jian Zhen here, she could carry out the assault and frame him in plain sight.

Beyond that, I could faintly hear shouts and roars coming from inside the construction site.

He knew he was facing the grandfather of the Blood Ming Sect's Patriarch—the head of the Xu family of Wan Hua City. At the very least, this man was a Soul Transformation powerhouse—far beyond his ability to confront.
