Chapter 27

With a thunderous bang, the tiger’s right paw was swatted away, followed instantly by a light palm strike to its belly, delivered with the speed of lightning.

As a biology graduate student, I know that werewolves exist only in legends, not in reality. Biologically speaking, aside from the metamorphosis seen in insects, the transformation of an animal’s body is a gradual process; it is hard to imagine a human changing into a giant wolf in such a short span of time.

His eyes were unfocused, and with every word he spoke, a mouthful of fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. His tone was stiff, as if he had not spoken for a very long time. Two Tibetan scripture masters had already prostrated themselves on the ground, chanting Buddhist sutras, while Jute and the middle-aged man wore expressions of profound sorrow.

"I’m warning you now—don’t regret it once we get to the places we usually frequent," Li Moran said in a muffled voice, preemptively cautioning her.

Leng Xianning was startled. If there had been such a great commotion, why had she heard nothing while in Mo Yanxiu’s tent? Where had Ye gone, and why had no one come to notify her? Gritting her teeth, and unable to fathom the meaning behind his words, she decided to stick to her lie until the end.

If Cang Luochen were to marry Zhaole, even if the old Emperor were no longer around, having the Princess Royal behind him would give the Cang family an extra edge.

Many people in this world claim not to fear death, and many truly do not, but only because they do not know what lies beyond it.

Zhao Feng almost wanted to wail. His sister was a martial arts prodigy. His own talent wasn't bad, but after two years of training, his mind had wandered elsewhere, whereas his sister had always been diligent. That was why, years ago, he had already lost the ability to defeat her.

As the minds of the many geniuses present wandered, Fang Cheng lifted his indifferent gaze, glanced at the arrogant Hong Ran, and chuckled softly.

To establish a mercenary group, especially one with the ambition to dominate the Fantasy Beast Continent, the most important thing is to build a structure. A sound system is the core, and even the solid foundation, of a mercenary group’s operations.

One side of the valley was covered in ice and snow, while the other was filled with molten lava, creating a spectacular scene of fire and ice within the gorge.

That is the only perk of working as a security guard at a university: there is little to do, and one has plenty of free time, which is why many choose to study for exams while working.

The others looked toward Cui Yu, and Cui Yu could even hear the sound of someone surreptitiously swallowing their saliva.

"Brother, I’ll remember this favor!" Lu Chang said, patting Cui Yu on the shoulder before walking over to Liu Yanjun to hand her the rabbit meat.

Cui Yu had rushed home as soon as he received the news. It was said that the neighbor, Li Hu, was the culprit; the body had been discovered under a dilapidated bridge, disheveled and exposed.

The void of the Empty Void realm erupted, sealing off the space within a kilometer and intercepting the chaotic beast in an instant.

The orb of light bounced excitedly and nodded, then shook its head and took two more bites at her dimensional space.

This remark immediately caught Ronan’s attention, as he knew that Gatai was currently the base of operations for Cobra.

Once the Duoyan Three Guards were back under control, a typical person would naturally think of ways to tighten their grip on them.

Dean Ge had no other choice but to use his connections to post a mission on the task board at the M-State base.

Looking at the Wei-A galaxy, which appeared calm on the surface but had essentially transformed into a mechanical ocean within, Chen Yue felt a stir of emotion.

"I haven’t decided yet. I’ll tell you when I do," Ye Tian said, arching an eyebrow.

"A fine name," Zhou Nan said, clapping loudly and drawing everyone’s attention, his gaze darting between the two of them.

When it came time for the exam, Su Rou and Miao Haitao were in the same testing room, where the other candidates were generally not from Su Rou’s class.

This spirit cave was not the previous one; it was some distance from the capital of Cangming. In terms of the density of spiritual energy, it was even superior to the last.

The Duoyan Three Guards... they were the elite fighting force belonging to the Prince Mu’s Mansion, consisting of over thirty thousand picked men, all top-tier cavalry. It was precisely because of their formidable combat power that the Mu Mansion had maintained a position that no outsiders dared to covet for so many years.

"Grandmother, what’s wrong? Is there a problem with the contract?" Liu Wei asked, suddenly feeling anxious as he saw the old matriarch of the Liu family throw the contract to the ground.

The shop assistant saw Gao Xian enter and hurried to greet him. He knew that Gao Xian and Zhou Ye were close, so he dared not be negligent.

"Motherfucker!" Du De-wei was furious, summoning all his strength to kick Bai Zelong in the head.

Bai Jinsu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. The crimson stain on his lips, set against his pale face, added a touch of eerie allure.

Jiu Er had already been feeling irritable, and hearing their chattering made her furrow her brows even more tightly.

"How could I be so bold," I said, though my hand had already reached out uncontrollably toward the breakfast on the table.

Steward Liu leaned in close, and Liu Linzhen whispered a few instructions in her ear, causing her eyes to widen in shock.

Having just introduced himself, Geng Haoshi had already memorized every player’s name. This player standing alone was named Chen Yu, a backup point guard for the team.

Zhou Mu lounged on the sofa and opened his phone. At first, Gu Debai thought he was playing a game, but a casual glance revealed otherwise.

Zou Yunxiao had long since received word from his mother that the Left Chancellor was now one of their own, and that the military tally had been handed over to her, so he was no longer afraid of her lying or causing trouble.

Later, seeing that the government’s pursuit was becoming increasingly desperate, the four of them stopped appearing along the Yellow River to ensure their own safety and quietly defected to Tian Chengsi, the Jiedushi of the Tianxiong Army. Having long heard of the reputation of the Four Swords of the Yellow River, Tian Chengsi made them his personal bodyguards to win them over and demonstrate his trust.

Meng Lang did not decline; he picked up the envelope with a sense of solemn duty and took out its contents... then he stood there, completely dumbfounded.

Consequently, apart from those who were still collaborating with the Boatmen’s Guild, the others simply gave vague, noncommittal responses. They were full of empty pleasantries but made no firm promises.

Pei Hongqing was selecting a weapon; he casually picked one that was easy to carry, assembled the magazine, and tucked it into his waistband at the back.

Liu Fusheng nodded, his gaze fixed on the stone Buddha. A moment later, he began to scan the entire hall.

The ancient bronze bell descended, rendering the sea of sword shadows into nothingness and causing Li Muyang to be swallowed by a spatial rift.

The Master of the Manor knew his son well. Combining this with the surname "Young Master Chen" and reflecting on the chaotic scene, he arrived at a sudden suspicion.

Recalling the members of the previous inspection teams, especially the team leader and deputy leader, he understood the implication behind it all.
