The bathtub was only half a man’s height. Once Ji Die sat inside, the pale blue liquid rose to her chest, giving off wisps of chill.
In an instant, she seemed to return to her childhood winters, when she had gone into the mountains to gather firewood dressed in nothing but thin clothes.
Under the low temperature, her skin quickly began to burn. Her entire body flushed red, and every pore seemed to open. Her skin itched as though countless ants were crawling over it.
“Hiss… I wonder how long I have to soak…”
Ji Die endured the discomfort as best she could and leaned against the rim of the tub.
As time passed, impurities continued to seep from her body. The process was fast at times and slow at others, while the pale blue liquid around her gradually vanished…
Unlike Ji Die, who was sighing and groaning, Gu Hen Zhi was focused entirely on the supplies scattered across the ground.
The next second, he seized the rooster by the neck. When it opened its beak in alarm, he poured all the medicinal liquid into its mouth.
As he spoke, his body suddenly swelled tremendously, transforming into a black tiger more than thirty feet tall. A massive aura surged outward.
Li Mochou’s cheeks immediately flushed crimson. Overcome with shyness, yet too embarrassed to become angry, she hurriedly wriggled out of Gu Chaoci’s arms.
Thus, over the past few days, Uchiha Yuan had slipped in a little of his own agenda. He wanted to guide Kakashi toward the path of martial arts.
In order to bring the awakened spirit into harmony with his own mind, Dugu Bo opened his mouth and spat out a flame interwoven with silver and green. It was none other than Dugu Bo’s own Nether-Seeking Flame.
Ask yourselves honestly: if Island Master Huang, my junior apprentice, and I refused sleep, food, and drink, and simply wore you down, could you outrun us for a day? What about seven days? Ten?
The old man saw that Bao Butong was completely ignoring him. It was intolerably insulting, and he could not help feeling deeply vexed.
Just as she was beginning to feel helpless, inspiration struck her. Wu Xue always liked jumping onto Yuchi Gong and having him hold her; every time she saw the creature, it looked utterly content.
After all, when you know nothing about everyone else’s circumstances, choosing the person with the best professional grades can never be wrong.

“Hey! Don’t tell me you even know that I wet my pants when I was five?” You Yitian asked in shock.
“Zhengce, this is Director Fang of the Civil Affairs Bureau.” As expected, Huang Tiexin immediately made the introduction. “Tell Director Fang about the welfare home again. With him here, it will make resolving the matter easier.”
Huang Tiexin then deliberately introduced Zhao Zhengce to Fang Honggang as well.
Listening to the long string of words coming from the other end of the phone, Mo Xialan felt a headache coming on. Mu Yuze was always the first person to call whenever something happened to her. In truth, there was nothing wrong with her at all, but Mu Yuze was forever afraid that something might happen to her.
Since ancient times, whoever controlled the armies controlled the realm. Now that the Jade Emperor had appointed the Barefoot Immortal as Grand Marshal of the Celestial Army with thunderous decisiveness, he could reclaim command of the heavenly forces in one sweeping move. From then on, the Great Emperor Gouchen, Lei Zhenzi, would be like a tiger stripped of its claws and fangs, unable to stir up any further trouble.
The Water God Gonggong’s form was exceedingly strange, as though he could merge into heaven and earth, becoming no more than a solitary leaf drifting between them. Clearly, the Water God Gonggong had no intention of meeting the Fire God Zhurong head-on.
Ajiu stood atop the dragon’s back. Half an hour later, the weight of his heavy armor had exhausted him, and he simply sat down. A little while later, he lay flat on his back.
“Ah, returning home in glory is truly hard work…”
The Azure-Scaled Flying Dragon was already panting. It had somehow managed to keep flying for another half hour when Ajiu suddenly shouted for it to turn back.
“You’ve met each other now. You can discuss the script first.”
After saying this, Bo Jingcheng immediately turned around and prepared to leave.
Based on past experience, there would surely be a deafening crash followed by a chorus of startled cries. Taking advantage of the moment when the people inside were utterly stunned by the sudden disturbance, the others would charge in with steel pipes and smash everything in sight.
“It’s nothing. I’m just lamenting the fact that my entire family consists of paupers!” Nianzu said irritably.
Besides, wasn’t Xiaoxiao’s father dead long ago? Could it be that she had finally gotten over it and found herself a second love?
“What do you want? I already told you. You and the one hundred thousand soldiers behind you must lay down your weapons and surrender,” Yun Jingxi shouted.
“It isn’t that one. What else is there?”
She was looking for the Crimson Lotus. The lotus flowers it had spawned must not have hidden too far away.
Everyone around Huan Niang changed color. They glanced at the already pale-faced Madam Feng, their hearts rising into their throats.
Her health was poor to begin with. If this news provoked her and something went wrong, what would they do?
Still, the people who had bullied her had also been tormented and injured by the Hellfire Beast. At least that had allowed her to vent some of her anger.
“Mommy, are you telling a ghost story?” Lin Xue had been dead for ages! It was Daddy who had taken her body to the hospital, and Daddy who had brought back the urn containing her ashes.

Zhou Yanan glared irritably at Ping’er. The girl could not even understand a young lady’s meaning, yet still wore such a foolishly anxious expression. She was so infuriating and amusing at the same time.
Besides, everything she had mentioned consisted of the vicious threats he had muttered when he had nothing better to do. Why had she remembered those while forgetting all the perfectly proper lines?
Yun Jingchu had been thinking that, even after receiving the secret guards’ report, it would take them at least two hours to find the group. He had not expected them to arrive less than fifteen minutes after the captives were taken.
Watching a match from above was entirely different from fighting on the field. Looking down at the deserted arena, Lane felt something strange stirring in his heart, though he could not say what that feeling was.
“In other words, there are too few people?” Chu Tian asked with a frown, now understanding why Sister Hong had said so much.
“My lord, I hear that Beigong Boyu has led a contingent of rebels in conquering Longxi. Longxi is very close to us. If Beigong Boyu brings his troops here, the two of us fear we lack the ability to resist him. We would therefore ask Your Lordship to take command of these five thousand soldiers and defend against Beigong Boyu. What do you think?”
Fu Xie spoke with utmost respect.
“Lanting Residence.”
Softly repeating the place name Xiao Zihan had given him, Chu Yan opened the navigation system in the car. When the marker for Lanting Residence appeared within his view, his eyes lit up at once.
He unleashed a Shadowless Sword technique. Giving the Silvermoon Wolf King no time to react, he split into eight figures at extremely close range and struck decisively.
“Earth-Wrecking Soul Prison… Life-Reaping Divine Butcher… Three Changes of the Phantom…”
Lu Heng called out the names of one technique after another, hoping Gao Fei might somehow reverse his passive position. Yet no matter how loudly he shouted, he could not see Gao Fei make the slightest move.
“It seems we don’t need to seal it after all. It has begun!”
Li Bo watched the Heavenly Wrath and Earthly Fiend grow increasingly dense. Remembering what had happened to him at sea all those years ago, he could not help taking out the flute tucked against his chest.
Seeing that all three of them had put theirs on, Gong Xuehan was displeased, but she still fastened the last collar around her neck.
