61 Moon in the Water

"I'm fine." Tour Guide Zeng rubbed the back of her head and smiled slightly at Tour Guide Wang, a moment that sealed their bond for a lifetime.

The three of them crawled through the tomb gate one by one, revealing a stone-paved passage ahead. Shishi, thinking there must be treasures further in, eagerly walked forward. The large man was about to call out to stop her, but it was a step too late. With a sharp "click," Shishi stepped on a trap mechanism.

In an instant, tension gripped the city of Luocheng. Commoners bolted their doors and shut their windows early, not daring to walk about outside. Anyone caught outside would be seized and interrogated by the patrolling soldiers.

Qin Tian merely smiled. Such training was fundamentally useless, but combined with his desperate martial prowess as a man who lived on the edge and his genetically enhanced physique—yet, reflecting on what was just said moments before.

"I wonder what plans my cousin has in mind?" Night Huang had traveled extensively across the martial world in the past, retaining some impressions of Qingfeng Cliff, knowing it to be a treacherous place. She also knew that many people in the martial world loved to resort to violence there.

As Dagon spoke, he moved continuously while devouring all the life and souls around him.

Xiao Yinzheng raised his head and looked at Li Heng in disapproval. A wave of unprovoked anger rose steadily within his heart. That Luo Anning had been driven to such a plight—was it not entirely Li Heng's fault? Yet at a time like this, how could Li Heng remain so heartless?

Fu Shaoquan was wealthy and powerful. Although Xuxu was ill, he did not care about the money spent, but to an ordinary family, such an expense would be an unbearable disaster.

He was originally incapable of cultivation; had it not been for that secret manual, he might have remained a mortal all his life.

Ling Wei felt somewhat puzzled, but he knew there was no better option at the moment. Fortunately, after arriving here, the feeling of hunger in his body had vanished. No matter how long he stayed, he wouldn't feel hungry, so he could afford to wait.

Yet this fellow was truly as invincible as he claimed. Those who went to challenge him were knocked flat by him without even being able to withstand a single move of his.

"Talk about compensation? I honestly didn't press the self-destruct button," Tang An explained. A munitions laboratory—the compensation for that would be catastrophic.

Having made a trip outside the city earlier, he had nearly exhausted the spare longswords in his spatial ring and needed to purchase another batch.

The man eventually left, though as he departed, the looks he cast at Liu Yue and even Fang Ming were laden with malice.

The energy surge arrived right on schedule, and his body once again underwent a comprehensive, all-around enhancement, both inside and out.

In truth, had she not feared that the Li family would suffer from misfortune due to a bad-luck talisman and find life impossible to sustain—which would ultimately become her own problem—she would have long since cursed the Li family with one, bringing them a torrent of bad luck so she could complete her mission and satisfy the original owner's desires.

The car left the urban area and got onto the highway. After exiting that highway, it merged onto another, and after driving continuously for a full three hours, they finally reached their destination.

Aside from Jiang Muyu, who kept busy trying to pry words out of Ning Xi, the only person in the room who remained entirely calm from beginning to end was Luo Fan.

Descending the airplane stairs, that group of people came forward to welcome them; as expected, they were all old friends of Liu Lang.

However, Jiang Chen's leveling method was tantamount to cheating. Because he leveled up using points, he simply elevated the proficiency grade of the cultivation manual, thereby instantly possessing the traits of that manual.

Consort Su seemed not to have slept well either, her expression somewhat haggard. Lin Yu arrived early; when she reached her destination, the consort was still dressing her hair, dabbing powder beneath her eyes.

If it were anyone else, I would have refused more decisively—such as disappearing from their life altogether. But Lin Jiangnan was different; I felt both a responsibility and an obligation to remain in his life. Yet as to how best to do so, opinions remained divided.

Allowing Tao Shang, a man of meager capability, to go and manage the territory he had cultivated for many years would not draw external criticism from any angle, and would even tremendously boost his reputation.

I longed to learn more about Lin Jiangnan's past because, just as Shen Zheng had said, he practically never mentioned it to me, and even when he did, it was in a flat, emotionless tone with just a few sparse words.

"Master Yi, you're pacing me dizzy." Yi Peijue had walked around in circles dozens of times with no sign of stopping.

The palm was covered in blood surrounding the dead mosquito. It appeared this mosquito had taken advantage of his inattention to suck blood for quite some time.

Watanabe Chiri had chosen a cooperative game, hoping to help the two of them build a good relationship. However, as long as they could play games together, their relationship might naturally improve.

Years ago, when Jiang Lianwen sensed something was amiss, the Yun family all thought she was overthinking it. While she harbored suspicions, Yun Yan's strange illness was indeed real.

Your Highness Lanhua launched a fierce attack on Qin Xiao, and the two of them clashed directly for the first time.

Ever since his physical form was recast by Yuangu, he could no longer be considered a mortal, and Yuangu had once spoken of the secrets regarding this blood and bone.

Seeing the Thunderbolt Tiger's precarious battle situation, Lin Wushuang simply gave up on the two barbarians who had already lost their combat capability, and rushed toward the warring Thunderbolt Tiger and the barbarian chieftain.

Upon learning that Qin Xiao was merely a cultivator who had stepped out of the Southern Wilderness and possessed no notable background or status, Gong Li and Mo Nong were both extremely surprised.

Just as Qin Yibai was pondering the origin of this divine statue, a sliver of divine consciousness he had left outside on guard suddenly discovered that, inside the Hall of Peace and Security of this underground divine temple, two monks had appeared without a sound.

The year had reached 1593, which was the twenty-first year of the Wanli Emperor's reign. It was now early December, and reckoning the days, it was almost time to set out for the capital. Therefore, Zhong Nan had traveled to Jinan Prefecture in advance to rendezvous with other Shandong officials heading to the capital to attend the grand celebration.

"Well, Wanwan, I have a method that can ensure we never have to worry about their pursuit ever again. Would you like to try it?" As soon as Jiu Sui said this, I was instantly stunned. Since there was such a good method, why hadn't Jiu Sui mentioned it earlier? I reproachfully poked him and asked what the method was.
