Chapter 199: The Puppet Show Holds a Surprise

Shh-shh-shh—

A small figure leapt out through the slightly ajar window.

In a few leaps, she reached the roof.

She happened to see our Joker sitting on the eave, chewing on something unknown.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but twitch her lips.

This behavior is truly just like him…

Should one say it's no surprise they're from the same sect?

"Oh, good morning! Want some chocolate beans?" Wu Wang pulled from a small bag in his hand.

The towering door, neither metal nor stone, swung open with a sound, and a crisp chill rushed forth—not biting cold, but like a thousand-year ice cellar carved beneath the palace, cooled further by the lake's passage into this faint, icy draft.

I glanced and spotted a towel. It must be Jiang Ciyun's, but the towel was far too short, barely covering my buttocks.

I knew the reflection in the water was myself, yet I could not move forward an inch, forced to watch helplessly as the bright red bridal sedan, overflowing with joy, drifted farther and farther away until it vanished into the thick fog.

Lin Feng glanced around; in the team, he was the only thief—apparently, his workload in this dungeon would be the heaviest.

Well, well, everyone who should and shouldn't come has shown up; it makes me even more curious about what Jiang Ciyun is trying to accomplish by gathering all these people.

They saw only a sword hanging at the door, brimming with overwhelming killing intent; the moment they drew near, their hearts trembled.

Judging from the earlier battle, those three emotionless fake "Captain Americas" each possessed strength comparable to a Level 5 Transcendent; otherwise, they could never have subdued Tianqi together—especially with Old Wolf King betraying them mid-battle.

After twenty minutes passed, not a single figure remained on the open ground of the canyon—only a few extinguished torches lay on the ground, nothing else left.

Even the Five Medicinal Immortals seemed unaware of her condition, but this pain grew fiercer day by day; leaving it unattended any longer was impossible. She'd have to find an opportunity to ask at the Medicine King Valley.

After stepping outside, Tianci called Tang Yan and asked where they were. Tang Yan told Tianci they were still out playing and urged him to come join them—they'd eat dinner outside together.

"Roar!" As the three stood stunned by Yue Li's divine power, the corpse-beast behind them burst from the water's surface, jaws wide open to swallow them whole. Seeing this, they prepared to flee—when a dull thud echoed in their ears.

"Good, it's time to begin Foundation Establishment!" Yang Yi's lips curled into a faint smile. In this life, he was re-cultivating the Taiyi Guiyun Scripture—naturally, he was well-practiced, correcting many details he'd once overlooked. Now, should he attempt Golden Core formation again, he had over a seventy percent chance of success.

Heine shouted his command and immediately controlled his orange flame tiger, leaping past the White Zaku phantom that was about to attack, speeding straight toward the two Strike Daggers L.

After all, since his promotion to Governor of Bingzhou, the one most threatened by him was unquestionably Zhang Yang.

Yan Xi turned his eyes, sneered, scanned the room, studied it carefully for a long while, then dragged a box from a hidden corner of the bedside table. Xin Dayi broke into a cold sweat, lunging forward—but it was too late; Yan Xi had already opened the box.

Lin Yu paid little attention to the parents' affairs; dating was between him and Xia Yun'er, but marriage? That truly required both sets of parents to discuss.

"Heh, looks like we've got another grand performance to put on!" Chu Haoyun stroked his chin, summoning the Soul-Eating Puppet, which had been submerged in his second dantian. A thread of divine awareness surged into it; the seated Puppet's eyes snapped open, its rigid gaze flashing a chilling frost. Its body stirred slightly, and a wave of deathly power surged forth.

As a veteran general who had fought on battlefields for decades, his abilities and command were still top-tier; it was only because a traitor had infiltrated his ranks that the enemy seized the opening, caught him off guard, and left him no chance to recover—hence his downfall.
