155. The Shadow-Stealing Ghost (5K, 1/1)

The car gradually drove into the suburbs.

On either side of the highway, apart from the vast stretches of rice fields spread across the hilly terrain, one could only occasionally see a house or a dwelling.

Baihe City couldn't be considered a big city; once you passed the Third Ring Road, you were basically at the edge of the various villages.

At this time of year, the young people had all gone to the big cities to work, and between the doors and windows of those houses along the road, it was mostly pitch-black, not a single speck of light to be seen.

As a result, even this stretch of highway was so silent that

So much so that when Jiang Yan walked up to Luo Sheng carrying the Crimson Blood Spirit Mace, Tian Lin'er did not try to stop him.

Qiao Yiran raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly, somewhat surprised by the new price they offered, but showed no particular reaction.

What he wanted to eat wasn't popcorn; he opened his mouth, his long tongue flicked out, and two pieces of popcorn went in one after another. The two of them, however, were shocked as if struck by electricity, half their bodies going limp.

Behind Jiang Yan, there was also a terrifying phantom of a golden holy dragon, rumbling toward that Heavenly Demon Flame.

Qiu Yun: …Although it expressed a refusal in advance, the tone was completely one of disagreeing with following the original plan step by step.

Hahaha, I've laughed too much today; I absolutely must not let Young Master Fusheng catch me secretly laughing at him.

Actually, when a couple lives their daily life, they still need to say whatever needs to be said. You can't bottle up your dissatisfaction in your heart, but that doesn't mean you should expose all your bad temper to the other person either.

Anyway, Qin Yaobing didn't distinguish right from wrong and just stood on Ji Xueqing's side, so there was no need for Xia Yumo to argue with them.

"Although I am a ghost, I don't look scary, and I won't hurt you!" Muyu said earnestly.

The voice cut off abruptly. Qiao Yiran's pupils dilated unnaturally, as if he had seen something unbelievable. With his intelligence, it was impossible for him not to connect it with the buildup of Qiu Yun's series of questions.

Hearing Su Mu say he would let him go, a trace of disappointment actually flickered faintly across Zhao Feng's face.

The fourteenth year of Jiahuo. The Fengquan Prince's wedding was set for the ninth of March, and the Qinghe Prince's wedding for the twenty-ninth of March. The grand weddings of the two Imperial Princes fell in the same month, and the Ministry of Rites had been busy since the year before. Once the New Year was over, the biggest event in Flower Capital City was naturally the weddings of the two Imperial Princes.

Perhaps Hanyuan truly was outstanding in his political achievements; otherwise, Nara Shikaku wouldn't have praised him like that.

Before setting out, Xiao Xue found Xiao Yu once more and handed him the pills she had refined overnight—not only pills to raise a Dou Master's Dou rank but also some healing medicines.

"Once Tallo wins the Midsummer Crown, I'll let you see a dance unique to the North." Wendini laughed as she ran up to the two of them, rose on tiptoe, raised both hands, and twirled in the air like a swan.

"It's just that I can't produce that much all at once, that's why I came to you." Liang Pan said with a smile, looking at Sheng Jiale.

When Yan Wuju and Ye Sudong led four others to encircle and suppress the Mandate Heaven Sect's nest, they also ran into a few experts who had been hiding for years.

The youth answered immediately; a boy of his age always trusted his father unconditionally, and his father had never let that trust down.

It was already past the lunch rush. Ouyang Feng picked a portion of ham pasta and a cup of coffee at the West Kowloon Police District cafeteria, then walked to an empty dining table, sat down, and began to eat quietly and elegantly.

The voice suddenly stopped. Ming Xiao thought that his own strength was like a child's before the other party, but the words were already out, so on the surface he still maintained a look of impatience.

Long Xiaotian knew time was critical and immediately set out with Zhao Dingguo and the others toward the Wailing Canyon ten kilometers away. To increase their speed as much as possible, Long Xiaotian also cast a Deception Mist, boosting the group's movement speed by 15%.

Buddha Demon wore the crystal-jade-like Buddha beads, and Immortal Asura said lovingly, caressing them. But when she once again glanced at Ye Qianfeng in the sky, a hint of complexity flickered in her beautiful, roving eyes.
