When we arrived at Ding Siming's adoptive parents' home, the couple were packing up recyclable waste to carry downstairs.
Having been a manager for some time, Lee Jung-chul had experienced a great deal. With the rise and fall of Bai Ma-jun and TL's popularity, he had gained profound insights and was no longer a naive rookie who believed everything. Instead, he had matured into a vigilant manager ready for any situation at a moment's notice.
If under such circumstances the human race still failed to act, they would truly find it impossible to establish a foothold in the Primordial Wilderness. Not only that, but it would also bring disgrace to Goddess Nüwa and damage her prestige, which would spell yet another catastrophe for humanity.
At this moment, although Yang Hu, standing beside Lei Zhan, wore a face of absolute frost, his heart was already brimming with laughter.
Having survived the brutal carnage, Shui Sheng could not help but shout out in triumph at this sight. Upon seeing this, the Water Spirit clan, including Shui Zhen and Shui Yuan, could not conceal their looks of wild ecstasy.

Maintaining full alertness, he switched on his flashlight and shone it into the stone house. Directly facing him was a stone rocking chair; however, what made his scalp tingle with dread was that a dark shadow was clearly crouching on the back of the rocking chair.

Take the clothes on his body for instance; although they looked slightly worn, that was only in comparison to Jia Lian's attire.
This time, Chen Longtian was thoroughly terrified. He had seen his father angry before, but never had he witnessed him enraged to such an extreme degree.
Danic's words were laden with myriad emotions. Be that as it may, over the sixty-some years since the conclusion of the Third Holy Grail War, he had meticulously made preparations in secret to avoid detection.
