Chapter 1: What Is Destiny

After leaving the Wei Yu Mountain Cave Heaven, Liu Xiaolou did not see Jiuniang again; according to Senior Su’s words, in the coming days Jiuniang needed to devote all her efforts to cultivating her soul beast and training and living alongside the snow leopard in preparation for breaking into the Golden Core realm, so the young man had no need for romantic entanglements for now.

Thus Liu Xiaolou left Wei Yu Mountain and returned to Wu Long Mountain; to be honest, he had been dazed and distracted throughout the journey.

Finally recognized by a contemporary master, willing

“What? Even our own people can’t uncover his problem?” Xia Kai asked, incredulous.

Soon after, the “Storm,” in optical camouflage, entered the clockwise port’s cargo dock; only after using the port’s cover did it disperse the high-concentration r-particles and reveal its true form.

Although Xue Ling was somewhat unique, that didn’t prevent it from being a form of spirit beast, so all the mortal-level disciples of Xun Shou Mountain stirred with eagerness, wanting to fight Wu Feng—more precisely, to fight Wu Feng’s Blood Swallow, since Wu Feng had become their Dao Seal person.

Unlike the green lantern’s symbol of protective will, the other seven lantern colors represented: red for rage, orange for greed, yellow for fear, blue for hope, indigo for compassion, purple for love, and white for life.

Of course, Lian Yi still told herself that Ye Fan must have done something, slipped something into her beloved’s chest—this was pure manipulation.

Feeling the faint ancient aura emanating from the longsword, Feng Ni’s heart stirred, and he spoke. He also silently marveled: the second phase of the Hanhai Gathering’s auction truly lived up to its reputation—already, the first item was a spirit weapon.

Even as Yan Chu Ling smiled apologetically, a scene unfolded, two sharp cracks rang out like two slaps across Fu Yanba’s face, freezing his expression and those of the others present.

“Why did you say ‘also’?” Guan Ying sharply seized the key word in Jin Yanling’s words.

Let her body hold out as long as possible—at least until I gather all the herbs—don’t let the virus spread further, maintain the current state.

“You…” the gatekeeper finally understood, frantically pressing his hands to the ground, trying to rise and block the two unexpected guests who had already stepped inside. But as soon as he lifted his head, he met a pair of eyes gleaming with ferocity: “Is the Master in the back courtyard?” It was Zhao Yongxian, who had arrived ahead of everyone.

The two brothers immediately clashed, using identical fist techniques, identical moves—all passed down through the Long family.

“Is that so? This is good news for us,” I smiled, but had no intention of explaining that I had visited Han Runan’s father yesterday.

Regarding the Dragon Soul, Master Lin had asked, Ye Huan’s aunt had asked, and Seventh Uncle had asked not long ago. The Dragon Soul can revive the dead; naturally, it might also heal my master’s internal injuries. Too many people feared her departure, all hoped she would remain in the mortal world—the Dragon Soul was now the only hope.

Chu Tianhua and Vice Chairmen Liao Shuishan led the applause, sparse and scattered at first, since others hadn’t reacted yet; only when they realized did loud clapping erupt.

The illusion never appeared; Lin Yi knew his cultivation level was insufficient to achieve it himself—the aid that helped him pass was the Zhen Dao’s array path, which cleared his mind of distractions.

This was my “gift” to them after they’d used me—making their tens of millions in investment vanish completely.

Duan Lang was half-resisting, half-allowing as Ma Hongmei embraced him onto the bed… the room’s lights suddenly grew more hazy… Ma Hongmei had created a romantic, warm atmosphere to set the stage for her affair.

“Thank you, Master,” I poured her hot water; the Master drank no alcohol or beverages, only clear water.

“Keep playing, I’ll go to the police station for a cup of tea and be right back,” I smiled at the students.
