Volume One, Chapter 97: What Were You Thinking When You Kissed Me?

Su Li instantly regretted it. Why did she have to ask so many questions? Wouldn’t it have been better to just return to her room directly?

“What handsome guy?” Su Li’s eyes flickered upward, feeling awkward. “In front of you, who else could be handsome?”

Mo Xingyuan gave her a half-smile, watching her intently.

Su Li grinned at him, “I’m a bit tired, I’m going to sleep.”

“Stop right there.”

“...” Su Li wanted to ignore him, but her feet disobeyed and froze in place.

Mo Xingyuan rubbed his fingers together. “Who was it?”

Su Li took a deep breath and turned around. “I already kissed you and said I wouldn’t ask anymore.”

“I never said that.”

“Then you owe me one.” Su Li stepped in front of him, playfully pestering, “You have to kiss me once...”

Suddenly, she swung her hand forward, and a massive arc of light appeared before her, rushing swiftly toward Xu Mo and the others.

“That’s good! Tonight is crucial. Someone has to keep watch all night. This honorable and arduous task is yours!” The black-clad figure with a lowered mask smiled faintly, motionless as he stared at Yang Yun.

The great doors of the Qingxin Hall had already closed. Inside, the hall was tranquil and dim, faint light filtering through the dome above, making the place feel even deeper and more solemn.

But today, he had encountered the demon war unexpectedly, a calamity born solely from his own loose tongue.

Though it was just a memory, Xu Mo truly felt the demon lord’s unyielding spirit, a fury that could burn the universe itself. Yet, he was powerless to break free. This was the demon lord’s genuine inner turmoil.

“I didn’t explain clearly. After parting at Hun River, I only instructed that all military authority of Qiong Sang be handed to Neng’er, but he has no command orders in hand...” Liu Chang’an wept bitterly, pain evident on his face.

The spear’s gleam missed, striking a corner of the platform, sparks flying in a crescent shape. Fortunately, the platform was extremely sturdy and remained undamaged.

“Brother Wu wants to find the Spirit Crystal Mine. I think we should act immediately,” said King Hu Zhou, recalling Wu Fan’s suggestion from yesterday.

Long Qingchen’s voice was calm. This young man with long hair had reached the seventh rank of the Emperor Realm, just one rank above him. However, since his debut, he had often overcome opponents of higher cultivation, so a one-rank difference was hardly a suppression to him.

While everyone was amazed by Lan Zi’s generous move, her heart was deeply saddened. She should have realized earlier—Lu Feng was so wealthy; it was only natural for him to gift her a bag worth tens of thousands.

In this region, after the self-immolating bird in the sky slowed its dance, everyone set off on their journey.

When Tang Xi stopped the car in front of the shopping mall they had visited the day before yesterday, I realized he probably wanted to compensate me for my phone. So, feeling reassured, I got out of the car with him, stumbling forward as he held my hand.

Only when Guo Qin stepped onto the arena would the crowd notice his age. Yet they didn’t know that Guo Qin wore the Jade Skin mask, making him appear to be a young man in his twenties. In truth, he was not even eighteen.

God of Wealth? A deity? She must have been too tired last night and hallucinating. She immediately put down what she was holding and bit Yifan’s arm hard. Yifan gasped in pain and pushed her away forcefully.

I was stunned, quickly turning to meet my mother’s sparkling eyes. What’s going on? Have they all conspired today to clean me out?

“I’d rather drown my recklessness in wine, sing to the drink, forced joy tastes bitter. My belt loosens gradually, yet I never regret, for I grow thin for her sake.”

As his voice fell, a white ribbon twisted into a spiral appeared. When it descended, two tall figures emerged from it.

“Tsk...” Kong Kui naturally couldn’t express that he now truly mastered real combat. Even if his Bankai was taken away, he was not afraid at all.

Let’s skip the chaotic dumpling-making process with flour flying everywhere and chaos ensuing. Time jumped forward two hours.

“Your Majesty, the sun shines brightly today; surely the night will be filled with countless stars.” Qing Shuang walked slowly to the palace gate, greedily inhaling the fresh morning air, her voice light and joyful.

His fingers, knees, and soles were all wounded and bleeding. Jian Hanyi gritted his teeth, wearing an expression as if he wanted to tear me apart.

Tyler turned his head to look ahead, then back at his younger brother, Hansen.

No matter what, within the remaining month, he must successfully advance to the ninth level of Spiritual Sea Warrior.

But before he could ponder further, a black figure radiating dense demonic energy suddenly burst forth from the frenzied, roaring sea surface below, where demonic energy surged violently everywhere.

The Ascendants had received prior warning from the Carefree Celestial Sovereign, knowing Yang Xiao had contingencies to deal with the Eight Holy Cities. Thus, the Asura King and others were happy to watch the spectacle, yet none expected Qian Yang’s displayed strength to be so formidable.

Moreover, his status within the True Martial Sect was very high, rivaling even the sect’s highest elders in opportunity.

The entire sect gate was enormous, at least five or six times larger than the one we saw previously in the Ghost Palace.

The fall of a Heavenly Dao Sage is no trivial matter. Moreover, the sudden demise of the Western Sect’s Zhunti Saint, followed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s descent to fight Yang Xiao, forcing him to leave this world—this intrigue provokes endless speculation.

Helpless, Shen Tan nodded. His expression darkened as if those two names stirred something within him. Yet he only bowed and stepped back, unwilling to say more.

“But I know that scientific physical training can help people grow taller, especially children in their growth stage. That’s why I came to see you,” Frost spoke.

“Commander, to prevent Xuzhou from falling into the wrong hands, this time we must leave an elite force in Xuzhou’s hinterlands. Qian will immediately submit a memorial to the emperor; I believe those in court will understand my intent!” Tao Qian responded.

He looked delighted, shouting, “Boss, my luck is turning around.” Just as he was about to bow and thank his master, Lin Yifeng turned away.

Although the sea’s prime spiritual veins were destroyed, the underwater world was vast, and many veins remained. Thus, for the Jiaolong clan, the damage was not fatal.

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhong sighed, then, feeling uneasy, summoned Ao Bing and Shen Gongbao.

Shangguan Ling didn’t expect Lin Yifeng to suddenly tease her during a serious conversation, momentarily forgetting to retaliate. Seeing her unresponsive, Lin Yifeng quickly checked his computer. “Their operation? They’re gathering at a certain place!” Lin Yifeng frowned as he said.
