Ao Xi and Cecil sat on the ground, leaning against the wall, chatting idly. Police officers and various passersby moved back and forth, casting strange looks their way and whispering among themselves.

"What are they saying?"

"What else could they be saying? They’re talking about how you, the peerless Cecil, bravely fought off five kidnappers and rescued four hostages. You’re practically a legend."

"Well, I suppose I did alright. Anyone else would have struggled to... to do it quite as brilliantly."

That was once a mere fantasy, but now it is reality. Years of extraordinary encounters have propelled Ye Jiangchuan far beyond his former self.

Following Chen Li’s instructions, the four swordsmen began to lure the volcanic salamander, carefully controlling it to ensure it stayed within the designated range and did not interfere with Chen Li’s upcoming battle.

However, that venomous voice was cut short mid-sentence, replaced by a scream that seemed to emanate from the very soul. Fine red lines instantly covered his entire body, causing his skin to rupture and blood to pour out until his physical form was nearly destroyed.

There was no helping it; after all, Xiao Ran had not only practiced alchemy in his past life, but his spiritual power in this life was also outrageously formidable.

Having missed the chance to join Chen Li on Bai Qi’s adventure, Fang Xiao decided that after learning how close Chen Li and his group had come to death at the hands of the elemental warriors, she would never leave Chen Li’s side again, no matter what happened.

While Jiang Nuan was still lost in her daydreams, Lin Qingqing slapped her on the head. "My dear, can you please be serious for once?!" Watching Jiang Nuan’s lovestruck expression, Lin Qingqing found herself caught between laughter and frustration.

Humanity on Earth still lacked this sense of crisis. Even Jiang Hao only suspected that some impolite forces outside might want to wipe out Earth, but he could not fathom the specifics of the situation.

Years ago, during the exploration of the Kshatriya ruins, he had parted ways with Huang Ting. He never expected to meet again today, and even more surprisingly, Huang Ting had ascended to the divine realm.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" No sooner had the words left its mouth than the entire White Night Sea began to boil. Beneath the endless waters, celestial light surged toward the heavens, and chains of divine laws wove together to form a massive formation, shielding the Immortal Venerable Night Shark within.

Ye Jiangchuan was overjoyed. After stowing away the Wujin divine bricks, another object suddenly fell from the void.

"Heh, fortunately we were prepared and took precautions. Our defensive artifacts were a gamble that paid off!" The demons breathed a sigh of relief.

"Very well. Do you have any direction in mind?" In the interest of cooperation, their attitudes had become much more conciliatory.

Bai Li was already lying by the bedside, fully clothed. Judging by her breathing, she seemed to have fallen asleep.

But Chai Jianyin refused to give up until he saw the coffin. He secretly gathered his internal energy into his palms and threw with all his might. The result was predictable: despite his best efforts, his throw fell far short of where Zhang Bo had landed his.

Xia Fangyuan merely shook her head, but her slightly furrowed brows and the pained expression she couldn't quite hide betrayed her.

Feeling Feng Wu’s appreciative gaze, the corners of Ye Xiangjun’s mouth curled upward slightly. His road to winning his wife’s heart seemed to have taken another step forward.

"Rumors? What kind of rumors have they been spreading? Why have Big Brother Da Tuan and I lived in this Fuling Jinhong Water Heart Castle for so long without ever hearing a word of them?" Yu Yin asked Shu Yan repeatedly.

The red carpet ceremony was just a formality for Jiang Hui, which wasn't too difficult, but the grand finale required him to perform the show’s promotional song alongside the other mentors and provide critiques of the contestants' performances.

Consequently, Chen Zhiran lived in constant anxiety every day, worried that she might truly be so unlucky as to have become pregnant.

Sigh, things were becoming increasingly convoluted. But it was a rare opportunity, and Mr. Zhuge had no intention of giving up just yet.

Huh? Intentional? As this thought crossed her mind, she suddenly realized who the owner of that voice was.
