Chapter 43 The Charm of Durian

They were quite familiar with lychees, but this was their first time seeing rambutans, which immediately piqued their curiosity.

Having assumed they would taste similar to lychees, they discovered after eating them that there was indeed a distinct difference in flavor.

After tasting one, Grandpa Li praised it repeatedly, "These rambutans are really good! They taste better than lychees. Lychees are just too sweet, which is too much for seniors like us to handle."

In their region, lychees commanded a relatively high price, and the local fruit farmers grew them extensively.

"Alright then, when we get tired later, we can take turns sitting." The class bell rang, and Zhang Ling took out her textbooks, facing once again her most detested math class.

The outer-circle miscellaneous disciples noticed the arrival of Song Zhongheng and the others, and upon seeing their azure long robes, they hurriedly stepped aside to make way.

At that moment, Ah Zhong was just stepping out of the garden. Catching sight of Qian Ye returning, he could not help shouting out Qian Ye's name, and upon seeing Li You, he inquired about his identity. Li You merely stated that he was a newly arrived disciple of the sect, here to cultivate under Qian Ye's guidance.

Immediately afterward, a vast amount of primordial chaotic energy erupted from the skeleton, surging rapidly through Yuan Ling's body. Wherever it passed, the previously overbearing demonic fire instantly dissipated. Finally, when the demonic fire within his body had been completely eradicated, the chaotic energy permeated through his skin, shrouding the entire perimeter of Yuan Ling's body.

Ordinarily, these lingering malevolent auras would slowly dissipate over time, but this Buddha statue had helped her finish the process ahead of schedule. Moreover, the chanting of the mantras completely purified the souls of both Yuan Ling and Dugu Yue, thoroughly eliminating all hidden vulnerabilities left behind by their frantic surge in cultivation.

Wu Zhen was left speechless by Du Mei's words, and since she fundamentally agreed with the sentiment anyway, she offered no further refusal.

Over the past few days, he had encountered quite a few bottlenecks while concocting pills, and had subconsciously sought guidance from Apothecary Huang.

The next instant, he could feel a palpable, tangible surge of purple lightning rushing toward him from the outside, forming a high-voltage electric field all around. Panic-stricken, Qin Feng hastily erected a Qi shield to block the violet lightning, yet while right in the middle of it, he remained completely unaffected.

Su Jue suggested leaving it unchanged while introducing several more flavor varieties to give everyone a broader selection when purchasing.

Free of dreams throughout the night, resting quietly upon the grassy shores of the lake, Yuan Ling enjoyed a rare and peaceful slumber.

Huang Benchun's state of mind remained undisturbed. Sending him to Cangyun City, to put it bluntly, was merely a tactic to buy time and scout out the enemy's situation.

"Are you certain?" Chi Han did not lift his gaze, staring unblinkingly at his phone screen displaying a news article about a major entertainment industry tycoon raping a certain celebrity and taking photographs.

The people inside the pet shop suddenly fell silent, and even the two dogs that had been wrestling paused their actions for a moment, turning their heads in unison to look at Xiao Qi.

"Why are you only just getting back?!" Chi Chun hurriedly rose from the living room sofa, rushed over to the entryway, and vividly gestured her anxiety while checking if there was anything she could help with.

Professor Emrus rushed over with the maintenance crew and immediately set to work collecting operational data from the skirmish. Such real-combat testing yields results that simulations could never replicate.

"Got it, don't worry! If an opportunity arises, I'll definitely get it for you!" Sun Hao said with a smile to Zhangsun Ren.

Xiao Qi hailed a taxi with the black cat. The feline sat up straight beside Xiao Qi the entire ride, turning its head from side to side every now and then.

The failure of her previously hired kidnapping attempt left her both furious and deeply unnerved, terrified that the affair might be exposed. Fortunately, she had left behind no evidence whatsoever, so even an investigation would turn up nothing.

The sensation of such surging power was utterly intoxicating. No wonder countless righteous disciples defected without hesitation to the demonic path.

"How many times have you tried to assassinate me? The kindness old Downs showed you should be fully repaid by now, shouldn't it?" Yun Hao looked at the bearded Clay before him and said indifferently.

In a split second, Ling Tian's vision went black, his body shuddered, and he stepped right into an illusion, plunging into an intensely realistic world.
