Shen Bujian reacted quickly, lowering her head in deep thought as her mind raced. There were simply too many things she wanted to know, and she had no idea where to begin.

The system could not sort out a clear clue. Meanwhile, Chu Wu and Bo Jinyuan had already returned to the villa. As soon as they stepped inside, Butler Zhong came forward to welcome them.

His demeanor did not portray the frailty of advanced age as described; rather, it exuded a vibrant state of good physical and mental health.

Perhaps due to being overly exhausted today, she drifted into a deep sleep shortly after.

Looking back at Murong Yunzhao and seeing an affirmative look in his eyes, she held her head high and left the banquet alongside Ruoleng.

Bai Mengjie simply stopped asking about their organization, shifting the topic to inquire about the Judge's supernatural abilities, as continuing the previous conversation would only make her feel uneasy.

His cheeks were flushed from running and he was panting, yet a bright smile danced in his azure eyes.

As for Feng Yin, he was not as concerned as the other two. Finding that Feng Yunyan was completely fine, he simply went straight back to bed and resumed his sleep.

Some of the cleverer dark creatures quietly slipped away from the place upon hearing these words.

What he did not know, however, was that due to the zombie crisis in District C, quite a few landlords had passed away, leaving numerous properties vacant.

This beastly mutation was caused by an extraterrestrial meteorite. The beasts summoned and extracted by beast-summoners from the beast realm were originally completely normal. However, when these beasts were materialized through the summoning seals that had been baptized by the alien meteorite, mutations would occur.

"Well, Junior Brother Zuo, have you given it some thought?" Seeing Zuo Jun in what appeared to be deep thought, the young man surnamed Xu did not disturb him, waiting a moment before speaking up.

Hearing the name Feng Ziyang, Shang Zhenglan was consumed by a burning rage, gritting her teeth as she realized that everything she had was ruined entirely at Feng Ziyang's hands.

Lin Xuxian's growth exceeded Yang Bian's expectations. True to form, none of the men who had fought alongside him against the fierce beasts back then were weaklings. Seeing Xuxian so full of fighting spirit, Yang Bian also felt a surge of excitement.

Countless figures in black charged from all directions toward this bloody path forged by human flesh, relentlessly attacking the naked defensive formation composed of human bodies along the way.

As for those elixir pills meant to enhance inner energy, it was a good thing he hadn't been there. Otherwise, the one tanned to a crisp like a dog right now would be him.

"Let's talk about this kind of thing after you finish your evolution..." Tang Zhihang said as he pried open its jaws, inserting his fingers into the dragon's mouth. The creature was currently too weak to bite off his fingers; otherwise, Tang Zhihang would never have dared to do such a thing.

After discussing for a long time, the two finally decided against taking the teleportation array. Instead, they would set out from Yangzheng Prefecture, travel straight west across the entire Jiuyan Prefecture, and finally reach Deshi Prefecture. However, this would be quite time-consuming, taking at least two months of travel.

Xu Hua and his group parted ways at the foot of Ghostly Soul Mountain. At this moment, only Xu Hua and a burly man shaped like a mountain of flesh were walking leisurely along the mountain path.

"Oh, what are you afraid of? It's just an abandoned garden, not some restricted forbidden area. Even if we're discovered, what is there to fear? We can't get into the well-kept gardens, but surely an abandoned one can't keep us out? Let's go." Xing'er said with an excited expression, pushing Su Yi forward.

Su Zhi did not rush to greet Lin Luodan, instead leaning forward to peer inside. Zhao's Hotpot Restaurant was already packed with cheerful guests, and not a single empty seat remained.

If it were just an ordinary celebrity trying to switch agencies, Zhongyi wouldn't bother retaining them anyway. There were plenty of stars eager to join Zhongyi, so what impact would the loss of one or two have? Thus, toward the majority of celebrities, Zhongyi maintained a casual and nonchalant attitude: "I welcome those who come, and I won't forcefully hold back those who leave."

Today, she wore a plain, unadorned gown, her long, dark hair tied back simply behind her head with a slender white ribbon. Her jade-like face was entirely free of powder and makeup.

Just as he struck a tragically heroic pose, a sharp cracking sound suddenly echoed from the rooftop, and the dead lines previously shattered by Xiangye snapped completely.

No, Xuan Shao was not that kind of person. Although he was ruthless to outsiders, he possessed a proud nature. If he regarded Qin Chuan as a rival in love, he would only defeat him fairly so that he would concede in utter conviction, and would never stoop to using sinister or despicable methods against him.

Li Haiyang gazed up at the spider overhead and began to mutter to himself, repeatedly asking himself this question. For some reason, when this thought crossed his mind, Song Cheng's figure unexpectedly appeared in his mind.

Now, even the high-tech examinations at the hospital could not determine what illness it was, which only made Tian Yuan grow increasingly suspicious.

Welling waves of alcohol surged upward, and she desperately wanted to escape this room, terrified that she might fail to hold back and vomit.

However, before Gu Ling'er could voice her words, she was cut off by a crisp, cold voice that spoke first.

Inside the car, Chen Wei sat beside An Yu, holding her hand. An Yu's face wore a rare, brilliant smile. For a long time, she had lived entirely amidst hatred and the grief of losing her family, making such a good mood hard to come by.

Hu Lei was also jolted awake by this vibration, hurriedly pulling Xu Mo and soaring away on the wind, suddenly appearing directly ahead of Xu Mo and the other person as they fled in the opposite direction.

Long Jinyi finally saw through it: Long Qingchen was trying to win over the three imperial princes. Even if he couldn't win them over, he still had to establish friendly ties.

What was more, doing so would save countless ordinary people suffering in the depths of misery, which was undoubtedly an immense accumulation of merit.

This was his first time looking at Xiao Yu this closely. No wonder Chen Wei had been so obsessed with Xiao Yu back then; Xiao Yu was simply too breathtakingly beautiful.
