Volume 1, Chapter 25: Making Little Humans

“Huo Shixu, be reasonable and stop making a scene. Don’t turn yourself into a laughingstock.” Pei Yin rolled her eyes at Huo Shixu. “It’s one thing if you’re reckless, but our Nan Yi definitely doesn’t want to catch any filthy diseases.”

Beneath Huo Shixu’s dark eyes, turbulent emotions churned fiercely.

He said nothing, merely gazing steadily at Song Nan Yi.

Finally, Song Nan Yi placed the divorce agreement on the table. “I know you need time to carefully review the terms. I’ll give you that time. Huo Shixu, I’ll say this again: you are the one at fault in this marriage. If you still intend to use the projects between our families to harm each other, I will see it through to the end.”

...

Hearing the Jade Emperor’s arrangements, Brother Mao was deeply moved. He cupped his hands in respect and said, “I take my leave now. Take care, Your Majesty!” Then, he departed alongside two guards.

Atop the mountain floated a grand palace, bustling with nearly one hundred thousand cultivators.

They glanced down at their wounds, feeling every injury across their bodies through the sensations in their minds. The pain rendered them incapable of continuing the battle.

“Send someone,” the Jade Emperor nodded, then called out to two guards not far from the pavilion.

Zi Yan felt frustrated. It was hard for those from noble families to find genuine friends. She had met Jiang Yuhan and Yin Yin years ago at a Bai family banquet with Bai Yang.

The black river demon’s essence blood now quietly orbited in Sun Wukong’s hands. To acquire this essence, Sun Wukong had labored for three years to reach this level—a truly arduous feat.

Upon careful touch, one could distinctly feel the patterns, as if meticulously carved with a fine blade, their textures clear and discernible.

Those living within the Hunting Mountains still enjoyed the freedom to roam. But to be imprisoned in the Beast’s Tomb would be an eternal nightmare, continuously tormenting them without end.

...

They all knew Yun Yun had two especially close girlfriends during university, so it was no surprise when they all returned to the dining hall.

“Boss, I’ve discovered something important,” Bolcha said mysteriously, his face shifting from anxious to fearful.

Is the game’s false start just a teaser to avoid revealing content prematurely?

From the building emerged creatures with red eyes—beasts resembling chimpanzees, orcs, lions, and tigers.

“If we dodge, we must take a detour. That might delay arrival at the next island, so the choice is yours.” For Li Hao, detouring or charging into the black clouds made no difference; the decision lay with the others.

Now, the previous conditions no longer applied, and Liang Yanrong’s regard for his son suddenly intensified greatly.

“If there’s nothing else, go back and rest,” Li Hao said calmly, seeing Zoro at a loss for words.

In close combat, sharpshooters and rogues were mediocre—neither strong nor weak—less formidable than martial artists but still able to hold their own. However, once a martial artist activated their reinforced muscles, even when outnumbered two to one, they could dominate these two classes.

She was nearly nine years old now and had never left this island, only familiar with the locals here.

They saw the pig and boldly ran toward it. Unexpectedly, the pig was clever, managing to slip through the narrow gap between two buildings despite being surrounded.

But when the wind died down and the boy’s face appeared, Liu Yuwei’s dream shattered. This so-called prince charming was really just the annoying Gu Xingzhi.

A serial killer who had murdered many might be seen by a child as a good father or mother, while someone who lived as a good person all their life might harbor dark secrets unfit for outsiders.

He roared loudly, his hands grasping as if solid, striking at Zhang Lingyun again. Under the grip, Zhang Lingyun suddenly felt a surge of pain as invisible hands pressed into his chest.

...

Thus, almost as soon as rumors began to spread, the Dark Sect had already started preparing in secret.

At this moment, over a dozen young men emerged from behind Shu Yuanzhou. “Master, master, please accept our kneeling!” they said, falling to their knees before Zhang Lingyun.

Meng Li searched alone for a way to turn magic into money. Unfortunately, options were limited; she had to rely on magic to gamble—her only plan.

After speaking, she quickly swallowed the steamed bun, then drank a large bowl of hot noodle soup. The taste was unremarkable, but her heart felt warm—not from the soup but from this family’s kindness.

As Yan Jialuo’s hand plucked the guqin strings, a surge of five primal energies mingled with a bloody scent swept toward Zhang Lingyun. He frowned slightly, pausing to observe his opponent’s celestial emperor-level techniques, only to find they were still using supreme realm moves.

The few nearby rose immediately, and Chang Sheng followed. After asking their names, each was given a silver coin or two—more to come upon arrival at Jiuxian City.

Besides these, there were documents stamped with unknown seals, local passes tucked beneath the windshield of an off-road vehicle.

“If Yang Tian truly possesses semi-golden core strength, we’re in serious trouble!” Alishan frowned deeply.

Xia Ling nodded, even more excited. Grandpa really still had a chance! At that thought, her eyes moistened.

Before long, unlike the two previous grandmasters of the Profound Heaven realm, the figure cloaked in azure light suddenly transformed into a streak of light and sped into Zufu Mountain.

At that moment, amid cheers below, everyone’s eyes fixed on a breach blasted in the city wall. A massive horde of wolf cavalry and infantry swarmed into Donglin City.
