With the tip of a needle, she pierced the heavens and embroidered the rules upon the wall.

It was a long-sealed room, the air thick with the mixed scent of decaying wood and aged silk threads.

As the first light of dawn broke, the morning rays pierced through the lattice window, casting a faint golden glow over Shen Guilan's plain face.

Without hesitation, she unclipped the brass key ring from her waist, selected the most inconspicuous key, and aligned it with the keyhole.

With a crisp click, the rusted lock cylinder...

However, Liu Ling also knew that Ye Qing meant no harm, so she did not refuse her good intentions. She obediently lay down on the bed, and then a jade bottle was placed into her hand by Ye Qing.

Fang Li did not feel anything was amiss. He simply did not take such a harmless misunderstanding to heart. He had not visited the Great Wall many times, and coming here with his wife made it an entirely novel experience, which filled him with high spirits.

Watching the numerous ordinary humans brushing past her, Mai Germaine wore an expression of utter boredom.

"You knew..." Kirin looked slightly surprised. In his understanding, the Confucian Sovereign should not have told Lin Ying about this matter... Yet, Kirin had guessed correctly; it was not the Confucian Sovereign who told him, but rather Lin Ying who had deduced it himself.

"Impossible. The sampling report of the target's skin debris shows that once the special stratum corneum in the target's skin reaches a certain proportion, it can instantly withstand the impact of a tank running at full throttle, and ordinary light weapons cannot cause any damage to it at all. How could it be the same as an ordinary civilian!" Liao Wei muttered to himself.

Simultaneously trailing black, light blue, and crimson afterimages, he wove through the forest of tentacles, heading straight for Helen's heart.

Of course he remembered. That time, Fu Yan had almost died, and it was precisely that incident which changed his future life goals, leading him to where he was today.

Only then did Liu Pinggui stop in his tracks, nearly colliding with Lin Tian in his haste. The moment he suddenly caught sight of Lin Tian, a trace of unease, and even fear, surfaced on his face, his body trembling slightly and uncontrollably.

"No, you stayed at school the whole day today?" Xia Ruoxi asked, looking at Lin Feng in surprise.

Li Si was momentarily stunned. He had never filmed anything of the sort before; asking him to shoot this commercial now wasn't that putting him on the spot? Besides, he didn't consider himself particularly handsome—filming a commercial like that would just be slapping himself in the face.

He Chuan knew very well that Chen Yihui's inner self was not particularly strong; on the contrary, Chen Yihui was terrified—he was extremely afraid of such scenes.

Dongfang Xiao shivered as wind-attribute spiritual energy circulated, driving away all the chill from his body and surroundings, making him feel somewhat better.

Simply put, He Chuan was merely a supervising staff member, and other than that, he did not do anything else.

Before long, Dongfang Fu returned with a smile on his face. It seemed that in the negotiations with Qian Buchuo, the Dongfang family had reaped quite a few benefits.

Returning to the place where Xingge and Linyuan were staying, he spoke with them for a moment before proceeding further to the edge of the cliff.

Zhou Bingran frowned. This was the first time he had seen someone leave their disciples exposed in such an abrupt manner. What did this mean? Was it a deliberate bait set to trick him?

These youths were discussing the topics in a purely casual manner, and none of them truly took the matter seriously. However, while the speakers were unintentional, the listener, Zhou Bingran, grew rather interested.

The few of them nodded. This was already the outer perimeter of the Trial Forest, devoid of any powerful magical beasts, so they had no fear of attacks. Besides, with Shui Rou and her healing potions, recovering from injuries was only a matter of time.

"Are you telling the truth?" Several classmates wore expressions of utter shock. For such a thing to happen on the very last day, it was truly baffling.
