Early in the morning, Shan Pinghui began rummaging through her suitcases, taking out each piece of clothing she had brought and holding them up in front of the dressing mirror, trying them one by one. After a while, dissatisfied, she frowned and shook her head, then stuffed the clothes back in. Like a busy bee, she darted around the room, pulling out every item she thought might be useful, all the while making sure someone sent for the makeup artist to get up quickly.

After a flurry of activity, she finally managed to organize several suitcases. With a wave of her hand, she prepared to leave with her entourage.

The door next to hers opened, and a voice, still rough and half-awake, called out, "What are you doing? I heard the commotion next door. Are you heading out?"

A man leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed.

"More trouble than good," said the Mediterranean, glancing at the cup of fruit juice, which was steaming heavily.

But as I spoke, I nearly let slip my real thoughts, yet still couldn’t think of any good way to avoid the risks.

Looking at his watch, he said, "Just rest at home today. No need to go out." There was an important meeting today, and He Ziming decided not to banter further with Yunxi. He gave his instructions and then left for the company.

Besides, even if one used teleportation, so what? This formation automatically locks onto its target's aura—if Xiao Ye moves instantaneously, the formation moves with him.

The people of the Great Mountain Sect sneered coldly, clearly dismissing Xiao Ye's words and not believing him in the slightest.

"The Moon Soul Pearl!" Mengyao's expression changed, and she cried out the name of the moon-white orb.

Nowadays, they favor the simple pay-to-win mode, never changing, never investing in the content of games. This led to the situation in later years: spending money in games became a habit, impossible to break.

Meanwhile, as Yunxi left, He Ziming, lying in bed for Beichen Yi's examination, suddenly felt a sharp, unbearable pain in his chest, rolling on the bed in agony.

Hua Muer paused after turning around, her face expressionless. She glanced sideways at the two soldiers, her brow furrowing as well.

P.S.: Let me ask everyone a question—do you prefer the daily chapter updates to be released at a specific time, or posted as soon as they’re finished?

Xiang Yun brought out what little osmanthus wine he had left, pouring a glass for everyone. They raised their cups and drank heartily.

His group was obedient. Upon hearing the command, they raised their knives and attacked Ru Feng. Ru Feng slammed his cup down, and his people immediately engaged. In no time, Feng the Big Beard’s men were thoroughly subdued.

"No! The higher-grade martial arts or good weapons—I’ve put them all away!" Liu Beibei said, showing Ye Yu several storage rings on her slender fingers.

Xue Hua's chest collapsed inward; as he was sent flying, blood gushed from his mouth, leaving a shocking crimson trail in the air.

Meanwhile, the Bear King, clueless to the danger, kept testing the limits, his curious bear eyes wide as he stepped closer to ask another question.

Let me go first—I was born in the year of the pig. There are three symbolic meanings I know: prosperity and wealth, gentleness, and laziness.

"That’s good. Eating well and sleeping well are what matter most. Don’t worry about anything else right now; some things are out of your hands—the heavens have already made arrangements. As the saying goes, man shouldn’t fight the heavens." Argus brought a basin of water for Xu Nuo’er and comforted her.

Many of these people were Lin Fan’s fans, and most were rational. Unless they lacked brains, anyone with sense realized that if people rushed forward—even if Lin Fan himself wasn’t harmed, he could easily be trampled.

"There’s nothing to discuss! With my current cultivation, I can’t refine the Star Inquiry Pill!" Fragrant Shadow stated the reason for her refusal.

They heard the Second Regiment Commander’s roar and began marching, carrying out the brigade’s blocking mission.

Although the enemy’s assault was fierce, facing Jiang Cheng with superpowers, they could not gain any real advantage. On the contrary, from the very start of the battle, his counterattacks caused them to suffer losses, both in troops and commanders.
