Just tell me what you want, and I’ll gift it to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yulian was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Li Jing who she had just recognized as straight was suddenly expressing an intent to gift her something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he finally recognize her charm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was an iron tree blooming flowers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Running her gaze across the dazzling variety of items on the huge stall, Yulian found that the things on the stall, although taboo, were rare and valuable items, priced fairly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightly biting her red lips, Yulian said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The things here are very expensive, you don’t need to spend so much for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, just tell me what you like, I don’t care about the money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing spoke in a very generous manner and gave a slight smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we miss this village, there won’t be this shop.

Even if he was really powerful, he would not be able to handle the situation alone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the Fourth Realm demon at the stall was directing their hostility towards her, and the two Third Realm demons had even blocked Li Jing’s path, Yulian’s expression turned icy cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was irrelevant whether she was part of the problem or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she was, she as a Fifth Boundary Great Demon shouldn’t allow these weaklings to disrespect her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to scold them, a flash of a sword glow unexpectedly came into view, and three heads flew in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, an incredibly terrifying streak of light instantaneously destroyed all the cages on the stall, annihilating all the low-level demons inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught off guard by the sudden event, Yulian trembled all over. She turned her head in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her view was Li Jing, dressed in a blue robe, with his hands behind his back, facing the exit of the Black Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Patrol is in session, everyone else back off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",3044,"2026-06-06T07:41:35.216Z",1,"novelbin.me","cad4e1f17ff28dffbc98faca98334b665d1cd4fbc5aae26b06d739699cb5a572","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-179","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-177",719,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhy-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-cover.jpg"]
