She savored the divination words in her hand.

Wu Wang picked up the lighter on the table, lit the paper, and dropped it into the ashtray.

He then rose and walked past the customers in the shop.

In his hand, a bouquet of flowers had somehow appeared.

It was stolen from that boy’s backpack in the instant he brushed past the high schoolers, using [Flying Dragon Reaching Cloud Hand].

Not only had he taken the flowers for him, he’d also slipped in a pack of durian candy.

“Liu Li is sleepy—I’ll take her back. I’ll visit again next time,” Xie Yu said, seeing me close my eyes, and bade Bai Hua farewell.

His grandfather never intended to help Gan Xing in the first place—he only wanted to pretend profundity and torment them both, but Gan Xing’s single remark silenced him.

Mo Yihan slowly grasped her hand, raised it to his lips, and kissed it gently; his expression was one of cherishing and sorrow.

The final technique was the Nascent Soul-level Dunshu : Yuan Ci Ji Guang Dun, which also required Yuan Ci Ji Guang to cultivate; Wu Tao had little left of it.
