118. Strange Occurrences in the Small Town (Two-in-One)

Longquan County is considered a mandatory stop on the route from the capital to Yangzhou, named for its location downstream on the Yangtze River, which encircles the Jingzhao Prefecture. Legend has it that many years ago, someone in Longquan County witnessed a dragon descend from the mist, its breath stirring up a rare and magnificent tidal bore, which is said to be the origin of the "Tide-Watching" phenomenon.

Whether dragons truly exist in this world, Pei Xiunian is uncertain. There were far too many critical matters to investigate while within the Forbidden City. After she departed, I extended my left hand and communicated with the character for "official," watching as writing gradually appeared upon my palm.

Since that was the case, she, with her ability to nurture spiritual plants, became someone who "might as well be sent out to search."

Yuzhu’s expression was sour. This man, named Zeyan, was an executive of the Light of Creation. Yuzhu had been tasked by the organization to infiltrate her family’s maritime trade caravan, and this Zeyan was one of the agents placed there.

No one knew what kind of medicine Kaguya had used, but Remilia and the others seemed to have fallen into an ordinary sleep, yet they could not be awakened.

"Where are we now? The Heavenly Sage Palace hasn't been traveling quickly these past few days, but this Dead Zone is surely vast beyond measure," Su Ruoxie asked the Great Devouring Beast and the Dragon Luan, both of which had been captured and subdued by the Heavenly Cauldron Witch Elder.

If it were the Patchouli of today, she would never have crafted these Philosopher's Stones, each containing only a single element. A few days ago, she had forged a new one that harnessed the power of all seven luminaries; compared to that, this set of stones felt significantly inferior in stature.

He could feel his own weakness—he was still a minuscule individual on Earth—but unlike before, he now felt even more motivated when faced with the towering mountains standing in his path.

Although Wu Xinzi was formidable, it was clear that the Silver Cat King had no interest in him. He had Chen Cong and Chen Ming entertain Wu Xinzi enthusiastically, successfully distracting him and leaving only Su Ruoxie behind.

The "you" he spoke of now excluded Su Lufeng, for Su Lufeng was not even considering adjustments; he had already picked up a scalpel and begun researching in the corner.

As she spoke, Su Yinmeng handed a USB drive to Jiang Ping, containing all the information regarding Douglas.

Wang Chenglong had been listening quite intently, but when he heard the second sentence, he was utterly bewildered, a giant question mark etched onto his face; he assumed he must have misheard.

Ordinary malevolent spirits were dealt with before they could even get close, and if any were capable of approaching, they were certainly beyond what Factory Manager Yang could withstand.

This sight stung Lu Manman’s eyes. She clenched her fingers, struggling to suppress the urge to rush forward and tear Su Miaomiao to shreds.

There was no help for it. Although such behavior was cowardly, Lin Xiyao’s strength was too great; one could only avoid what one could not afford to provoke.

"Exactly, ignore your grandfather and your maternal grandfather. Cici, take your time answering Chuchu’s questions." Grandmother Tang picked up a plate of mung bean cakes and placed them beside Chuchu; it wasn't time for a meal yet, but she didn't want the child to go hungry.

Lin Xiyao couldn't help but chuckle softly, though she immediately hid the smile and replaced it with a look of feigned confusion as she gazed at her.

"There, that’s how it is. You may enter on your own; if I do it myself, you won't taste as sweet." Tao Cici explained the situation to the soul, who then willingly entered the notebook.

In an instant, a massive wave of attacks descended. Countless divine weapons were shattered by the overwhelming power unleashed from the Mirror of the Six Paths of Reincarnation before they could even react.

With such a disastrous start, you expect me to take on a main quest, and one without any rewards at that?

Su Miaomiao shook her head while sitting at her workstation. He would surely think it was foolish and might even berate her until she felt utterly worthless.

Given the situation, she found it difficult to accept that a grown man would see her secrets.

Especially when he saw Bai Lu’s gaze drifting toward Tang Fei repeatedly, a shy expression on her face, he felt his heart bleeding once again.
