There is still some time before the agreed-upon date for the deposit. Zhao Weimin indeed has no intention of heading up the mountain during this period. After all, it is not just people who choose clear weather to venture out; animals do the same. Once the sky clears up a bit, there will be more prey on the mountain, significantly increasing the chances of a successful hunt. As for...

Although the living Immortals are marveling at Li Mufeng’s power and feeling exhilarated by the white maternal entity—believing they have been saved—Li Mufeng cannot hear their voices. Shi Wuyin snatches the flower fruit away and shouts, "You old hag, if you can give birth to a child, I shall rename myself Yin Wushi!" The implication is clear: this object is in my hands now, and I can destroy it at any moment. Bah, bah, bah! Why am I thinking of that heartless man again? I told myself not to think of him anymore.

Shangguan Jing'er, hearing this, walks triumphantly up to Red Lady. She has long since grown tired of Red Lady’s arrogance and is finally enjoying the opportunity for revenge. "Red Lady—no, wait, there really seems to be some sound screaming and crying in my ears!" I say, crouching to the ground in pain, clutching my ears desperately.

He feels a bit flustered. His warhorse seems to sense its master’s inner agitation, pacing back and forth in place, neighing incessantly, unable to calm down. After hanging up the phone, I fetch warm water to wipe down Xu Nuo. Once finished, I am so exhausted that I collapse onto her hospital bed and fall into a deep sleep.

Feng Lingxue hesitates for a moment. Long Feili lifts his gaze; having grown up deep within the imperial palace, he has encountered the outside world, yet he has never heard of or seen such creatures. "Where else can I go? Trapped on Vulture Peak by the Buddha, eating vegetarian meals and chanting sutras all day—it’s so annoying!" Sun Wukong says restlessly.

Beneath the rubble piled in the corner, something wrapped in layers of unknown material suddenly twitches. As for "Uncle Money," whatever martial arts or sorcery he used, he managed to put the two hulking men in quite a miserable state. I find a decent parking spot and am about to wake up Yao Beina, who has been sleeping the whole time, but before my hand can even touch her arm...

Que is passing through an intersection when a bus suddenly turns the corner. The tires crunch against the asphalt, and the blare of a horn erupts abruptly. In the dim light, the driver, a man over forty, is caught off guard and slams on the brakes. The next moment, the ground around the middle-aged Jōnin erupts, rapidly forming thick rock walls around him.

Even without these, most are merely mortal beings; a human life rarely exceeds a century, and even with medicinal aid, it stays within three digits. "Mr. Miyamoto is absolutely right. I, too, have noticed that while they claim to be a great celestial empire and pursue benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and filial piety—which are their strengths—their weaknesses are being trapped by rituals, troubled by superstition, and shackled by Feng Shui," says Imperial Concubine Li Chan.

But it is useless; the other party continues to chat and laugh, maintaining the air of a sage trying to persuade a lost lamb. However, after he follows the Seventh Master into the palace and meets the legendary Master of the Penglai Realm... "What other dangers could there be? Look at this place... it’s just such a location." The alchemist says, though a flash of melancholy crosses his eyes. While it is true that everything could have changed over three hundred years, the reality before him has changed far too much.

"Lin Chu, you seem very familiar with this place?" Chen Bin asks curiously, noticing the thoughtful look of nostalgia on Lin Chu’s face. Finally, realizing Tang Ze’s power and invincibility, the remaining fourteen dark gold stone insects emit hideous wails, their antennae wriggling as they convey a plea for mercy to Tang Ze.

"Don't, absolutely not. We have to return this slap one way or another. When the time comes, *slap, slap, slap*, I’ll shower you with cash..." Su Yin retorts. In her previous life, Xiao Yuerong and the Dou family arranged for this young woman to seduce her third uncle, hoping to get her into the Zhenning Marquis’s estate, only for her to be soundly beaten by the third aunt's brothers. Some people sob while cheering loudly; others applaud silently, clapping until their hands are bright red, yet they feel no pain.

"It was a landslide caused by the heavy rain," Leng Feng confirms Chen Feng's suspicion. If the cave entrance is blocked and cannot be pushed open, everyone is highly likely to be trapped inside until death. Wang Li is at the first level of divine power; his power is no longer effective against Yuan Fang, so whether he drains it or not is irrelevant.

In any case, Hu Weiyun’s goal is clear: he wants to use Zhao Yu as his puppet. Therefore, Hu Weiyun would certainly never allow Zhao Yu to get entangled with Zhao Che. Chen Feng bids farewell to Fang Lian and returns to the Xuanyin Cave with a heavy heart. In his pouch rests the extremely precious Blazing Yin Pearl.

Earthly Divine Power - Earthly Amplification: When near the earth, strength and defense receive additional bonuses. The stronger the earth's energy, the higher the bonus. The standard for the transcendent world is twenty percent, with a maximum of fifty percent; in the state of the Divine Power Source body, the optimal is forty percent.

"It’s nothing of interest; I just haven't been here to treat him lately and was concerned about him," Xun Qing says. "Haha, the inner core is found!" Fang Zheng shouts joyfully, having discovered the giant tiger's inner core inside the space ring taken from the gunman.

Yes, he realizes he cannot do it. He refuses to let go; he must win Yue Yi back, no matter the cost, even if it means slaughtering cities and destroying nations, plunging the world into misery. "Then hurry up and get ready; we’re going shopping right now," Fan Jingyun urges Jiang Bojin, eager to head out.

They say children without parents are prone to rebellion and extremism, but none of that exists in Xun Qing. She is sensible, considerate, intelligent, and determined. Although he and Xun Zhou were absent for so many years, she turned out wonderfully, leaving them with no regrets.

"No! No matter what, Fengwu is still a divine weapon; its power is extraordinary. You cannot suppress it—we must leave together!" Qu Qingran is so anxious that she lets the name of the weapon slip; she knows full well how formidable it is.
