Great, I’m not bothering you, yet you keep coming after me—do you really think I’m a soft target? Even soft targets have cores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been mentally prepared for this. I knew seeing my face would stir your feelings—it’s not your fault. It just proves you’re someone who values emotion,” Yu Shun said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I accept your challenge,” Lu Yu muttered to himself. Then he suddenly remembered—the game’s instructions had mentioned two players. Yet until now, the other player had never appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous Pope of the Church of Light and Arthur became famous in the Western World for their immense strength, while Mo Luo became famous for his blood-soaked hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps driven by a desire to conquer desire, or perhaps genuinely falling for Xuan Yuan Ye, she had temporarily refused the marriage alliance and instead took up residence in the Seventh Prince’s Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the hospital ward, I used my trump card—Black Robe’s sister—to force him to leave; Yu Shun was unharmed, but this was also the moment when Yu Shun and I reached our final point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I arrived yesterday and got a good long sleep,” he said, then pulled out a handkerchief and wiped his well-cared-for, smooth hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, he was friendly, but I still can’t figure out his purpose,” I said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Tian smiled faintly, sensing Ning Ruyue’s thoughts, and pulled her into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light sphere struck the array before it; its entire power was shielded by a protective membrane—unless subjected to external impact, it likely wouldn’t explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Bai Yu’s eyes suddenly grew damp; he forced several eye rolls to hold back tears before sending his spiritual sense into the jade slip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qi nodded in return, but since two disciples ahead of him were still exchanging spirit stones, he could only wait patiently in line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gu Bai had already decided: once he resolved the Red Lotus Sect matter, he would leave the Shenxiu Sect and venture out into the world to see if he could find the whereabouts of the Bronze Spike Stele.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Feng Yuan had no intention of just sitting around doing nothing—that wasn’t his style. Besides, surely something could be done to help?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wang Erniu was four or five years old, he found it strange: his father, a big, burly man who always shouted loudly and swung his fists hard outside, why did he keep apologizing to his mother, whose martial strength was clearly inferior? Wasn’t that a loss of face?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fat Man suddenly startled, looked at Lu Qi, and nodded in thanks; Lu Qi responded with a nod of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The basin contained a green, ointment-like substance, emitting a refreshing fragrance that made the mind feel expansive and serene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, combining fabric and processing costs, the total was under ten yuan—quite reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blueprints or techniques related to spacecraft were strictly protected in Wanzhou City and banned from trade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if, to initiate the cycle, a grand purge had been carried out across the entire continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mian obediently took the medicine; in truth, he wished Zhou Mo would feed it to him with her mouth—but that method was too difficult, and Zhou Mo’s insight was unlikely to ever think of it. He’d have to wait and think about it later.\u003C\u002Fp>",719,"2026-06-19T18:47:42.084Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b3699d99634b483745312047f56a946571723d40164f4532e537e0088f750038","there-is-a-malevolent-spirit-chapter-157","there-is-a-malevolent-spirit-chapter-155",209,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthere-is-a-malevolent-spirit-cover.jpg"]
