Blackwater Lake is the largest lake in Jiang Province. Legend has it that the Blackwater Dragon King once bathed in these waters, which is how it earned its name.

Opening the cabinet door, one could see nothing but bundles of yellow gold bars and stacks of cash.

Uchiha Isamu nodded at the three of them with a smile. Due to time constraints, he did not stop to chat, but he had heard their conversation clearly enough; indeed, the Hidden Cloud Village’s conduct had been a bit too aggressive.

"This... are you forcing me to climb the stairs? It’s too exhausting. I’d rather not torture myself just for a dream." Qiao Xitan rejected the stone steps outright and turned in another direction, preparing to leave.

The clearing was overgrown with weeds, yet not a single tree grew there. Right in the center of this empty space, a single, brilliantly red plant stood.

"I still have some business in the Land of Hot Water; I will return to the village as soon as I finish! I’ll contact you then." Tsunade pondered for a moment before answering. Naturally, she would not rely solely on Uchiha Isamu’s one-sided account. The remaining time would be spent gathering intelligence to verify whether what he said about the village was true.

Under such high pressure, even with the uncertainty surrounding the sub-dragon races, the overall assessment of the dragon race remained overwhelmingly positive.

Only after everything was settled did Ye Mo realize that the banquet hall, previously so lively, had fallen into complete silence.

After giving his instructions and handing the letter to He San, he turned and walked into the distance. Shortly after, He Qiaoxin’s laughter echoed over, leaving He San standing there, stunned and speechless, with a dark scowl on his face.

Two days and nights passed in the blink of an eye. When Qiao Xitan opened her eyes again, she felt her body was even lighter than it had been on the night she entered the Qi Refining stage, and her cultivation had reached a new level.

Fortunately, when the clock struck one, Qin Li still felt no premonition. He remained wary, but by two in the afternoon, he finally felt his tension truly ease.

Flames flew across the sky as intense fire-attribute magic poured out, raw and unadorned.

The Blood Dragon Fish avatar returned to Qilin Mountain. Qin Li, who was in the midst of meditation and breath regulation, was quite excited by the vigor shown by the avatar.

"Uncle Mazi, please, just settle down. Whatever it is, they wouldn't dare crawl in here anyway. Let's just get a good night's rest here," Ma Chengfeng said, brushing it off.

"Well, even a journey of a thousand miles must come to an end!" Xiang Yu also felt that it was better to endure a short pain than a long one; he stopped after walking for a while.

Of course, he could also use this opportunity to deploy his forces, which would naturally increase the success rate of investigating news about his parents.

"You... don't push us too far!" the two cultivators from Earth trembled with rage.

"Success or failure rests on this one move, let’s gamble! If I am truly wrong, we will have to head home tomorrow night!" Ma Chengfeng said, taking a deep breath.

"This kingdom war also ended because of the Rosemould family," O'Lei said.

"This village is too bizarre, and it hides quite a few secrets! Come on, I want to see what that old thing is up to!" Ma Chengfeng led the other two as they continued to run toward the Zhu family’s ancestral shrine.

As a pirate, he could only view things through a pirate’s perspective. Betrayal, greed, and lust were the inherent nature of pirates, and precisely because of this, he did not believe that threatening the other party with the lives of ordinary people would cause them any hesitation.

On an ordinary day, Liu Xiaomeng would be gasping for air and pale-faced after throwing a few punches. Her master knew she was an esper-martial artist who needed to combine her powers with her martial arts, so he never scolded her.

Mulan mused further: "Moreover, through today's events, I suspect that the reason my identity was exposed must have something to do with this Crown Prince."

In just a short moment, the price of this artifact fragment had already reached the staggering sum of eight thousand.

It even terrified other forces across the world, clearly and intuitively telling them that their "father" was still their "father," and the Navy was still the same Navy that chased pirates all over the world.

Seeing the suspicion and confusion in Yin's eyes, Mulan looked at the person lying on the floor of the room and the maid who had died beside the Second Prince.

If it were Zoro who brought people back, then he could trust that the people Zoro brought back were of guaranteed character.

Mulan felt quite helpless about this, but thinking that one must take things as they come, she decided, as the system suggested, to just wait patiently.

Su Peisheng thought about his own situation and wondered if it were possible, he would actually quite like to be a "femme fatale" himself.

The snow grew heavier, and the wind whipped the flakes into a frenzy, dancing across the sky. Beyond ten paces, no figures could be seen. Accompanied by their guards, including Gao Meng and Jinu, the two pushed forward against the wind, barely able to open their eyes. The wind billowed their clothes like sails, pulling them backward.

However, after a full ten minutes, the void did not open; instead, it gradually returned to calm, and the surrounding manic spiritual energy slowly eased. After another moment, all the great banners stopped vibrating, and their light faded away.

Chen Wei thought Liu Weina was joking, but he didn't expect it to be true. No wonder his mother's attitude toward Chen Wei was so good now. The fact that Chen Wei had pretended to be Liu Weina's boyfriend last time had always bothered the old lady, but now that Dr. Zhao was dating Liu Weina, the suspicion had been completely cleared.

To think he was still being mistaken for a reporter... Qin Yan thought to himself, do I really look that much like a paparazzo?

"..." As the princess's contact and one of her most trusted confidants, Sass naturally knew some of the princess's thoughts.

As soon as the leader of the Dragon City Gang was mentioned, Long Tian's aura suddenly surged: "That's right, I am Ao Longtian, the leader of the Dragon City Gang, but the master of Dragon City is not me, but..." As he spoke, Long Tian's gaze turned to Mo Yu.

A middle-aged man had just come out of the building. Li Meiyi introduced him as Li Baohua, the father of her and Li Rui.

"Zhang Cuishan, over here, over here!" Seeing Zhang Cuishan from afar, Sun Lanlan waved her arms excitedly.
