Volume One, Chapter 88: An Enemy at the Foundation-Building Stage

“I only got half of the Foundation Establishment Pill; I wonder if it will still work.” Ji Die bit down on the half pill, not swallowing it right away, feeling a pang of regret. But then he suddenly remembered—their lips were still pressed together. Guiltily, he quickly lifted his head, stealing a glance at her reaction. But Song Jia seemed not to have noticed anything at all; her eyes were unfocused, like a wooden doll, which only made Ji Die feel even more inexplicably guilty. At that moment, their faces were so close, nearly touching, her breath brushing against his skin with a faint, delicate fragrance—he simply couldn’t wait…

“At least I’m an honorary vice president; I ought to set an example and take the lead,” Li Xun nodded in agreement, and together they walked toward the guild teleporter.

“Boss, there’s something I have to tell you,” Chu Feng said nervously, glancing at Lin Di’s kindly smiling face. “At first, I didn’t think it was a big deal, but the more I think about it, the more I realize it might be a matter of life and death for you.”

Iron Aunt said, “I heard your mother used to be one of our own, but for a man named Bai, she betrayed the sect twenty years ago.” Pain flickered in Ye Kai’s eyes; clearly, he didn’t want anyone to bring up this matter.

Guan Yunshan had tried to persuade him for several days, but all in vain. Discouraged, he didn’t know what more he could do.

After Guan Yunshan and the others left, Zheng Guangxu frowned deeply, unable to make up his mind. Finally, he called his superior to report Guan Xiaojun’s situation.

“A cave?” Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiping let out a sigh of relief. It seemed Li Xingkong hadn’t entered the Blood Soul Cavern after all; otherwise, he really would have had to risk his life and barge in. He keenly sensed that Wu Yong was very likely hiding inside the cave.

Mo Wang spoke as he tossed his broom aside. The broom flashed with golden light; the array inscribed on it activated, and in front of everyone appeared an illusory grove of trees.

No matter what, it made him wary of what might be hidden beneath the Immortal Alliance’s glorious surface. He dared not reveal any unusual behavior, but played the part of a righteous cultivator infected by the cause, feeling both awe and trepidation at the secrets and responsibilities of destiny.

Sun Zhichao suddenly remembered that when he was developing this game, the system had required him to write a synopsis. “Burn, my Violent Racer!” was a line he’d casually written at the time.

Just then, a loud “bang!” erupted—the sound came from inside the wooden barrel, which suddenly burst open.

Wu Ming, however, had no time to deal with this. The Demongod Palace would arrive on the mountain tomorrow night. To prepare, he had to make arrangements so the disciples or his beloved plants and flowers wouldn’t suffer harm.

She curled her lips in a brilliant, enchanting smile; she needed to make an example out of this Young Lord Qin Six, to crush his arrogance.

If only he knew what treasure that person possessed—perhaps he could find a way to counter it.

What was the true connection between him and that undying corpse? What was he after now?

As for Fireball and Earth Listening techniques, Lin Bei didn’t intend to master them—just learning and practicing them would suffice.

If you were hunted by the righteous path because of some scandal, the demonic path might protect you, and then have you expose the righteous sects’ scandals in public.

“Princess!” The ceremonial officer accompanying her was startled and quickly ordered the guards to give chase.

He didn’t believe the Dragon Mother would change her mind. Though she’d made him feel secure lately, she’d never mentioned giving up her ambitions against humanity.

At the port, when Baren saw Hua Sheng’s distant figure approaching, he finally allowed a smile to appear.

Madagascar’s oceanic chalcedony agate combines both the luster of mutton-fat jade and the floral patterns of Yellow Dragon Jade. The agate cup provided by this system has been refined for purity, with the appearance painstakingly polished for perfection.

When she left the Liu Tower, she saw Liu Tianqing one last time. He was the same as ever—after everyone else had left the rooftop, he stood before Ye Li alone, holding a snowy white handkerchief.

Honestly, if he thought about it, if he met a girl claiming to have been assaulted and asking for help, regardless of whether it was true or not, he’d help her first—at most, it would cost him some time, and she wasn’t asking Wang Ge for money.

In the end, he found Le Han to ask about the situation, only to learn that even he didn’t know what had happened. The only certainty was that Nangong Yuchen wasn’t planning to drop out of school.

Sun Fatty had held back for ages, following Chen Qiaoshan’s instructions and keeping quiet. Only when the commotion died down did he post a new thread and upload a photo.

Though Jiang Tianchen’s strength exceeded anyone’s expectations, still, no one had faith in his victory.

Lei Yun, lured by the Residual Light Sword, suddenly changed course. All the lightning veered away, converging at the sword’s tip, channeling into Du Bu Cheng’s body.

On the surface, the contract revision only clarified the terms, but everyone on Luka’s side knew that with this change, the contentious issue—whether Daniel could be considered human—had been erased from the contract entirely.

In a split second, the entire district fell silent. Only the sound of icy spears melting, cold water mingling with the stone-shell spiders’ pale blue blood, dripped quietly in the air.

Night Phoenix stopped at the entrance of the gambling house and observed quietly. As a seasoned operative, she had the habit of carefully assessing every new environment.

“I noticed it too—the ocean floor seems to be pulling Lingzhou downward!” Nine Stars frowned as he spoke.

If not for the fact that Song Memory’s father had once saved Mu Chenhao’s father, Mu Chenhao would have driven Song Memory out of the house long ago.

“What? You’re saying the life tablets of Elder Zhang Two and Elder Zhang Six have shattered? How is that possible?” Yang Chenglin was shocked.

Liu’er, watching Mu Yun Ya help Mu Ziyun into the house, felt a strange sensation in her heart.

Zhou Yang boldly wrapped his arm around her neck, issuing a domineering command. The affection in his eyes was so gentle that she couldn’t bring herself to refuse.

Hanging up the phone, Dr. Li’s heart surged with excitement. If he could save Young Master Zhou’s child, he would become a benefactor to the Zhou family—and from then on, his career would soar.
