43. Are you an idiot?

Beneath the dim streetlamp, Zhao Qingran made out the man's handsome face. Ji Weiyan was gazing steadily at her, an unreadable emotion flickering in his deep eyes.

Even though he had mentally prepared himself, the moment he saw the Emperor of Qiyuan, Yun Suiyi's pupils still constricted involuntarily, filled with sheer disbelief.

Acknowledge the order, Jing Wei stepped back. Pang Hanhai spurred his horse forward a couple of paces, took an unhurried sip of wine to clear his throat, and then began to speak.

While Zhang Daoling was deep in thought, the singing along the mountain path still drifted through the vicinity, close enough to touch. Yet Zhang Daoling deemed the sound illusory and ignored it, especially since he had already waited in vain for a long time precisely because of it.

Tao Bai had already gathered sufficient strength. When its four hooves suddenly left the ground, leaping high into the air to lunge straight at the doll, the doll had already anticipated the move, remaining calm and collected as it waited for the precise, opportune moment.

"I never counted on you anyway." Chen Ergou rolled his eyes, reached into his robe to retrieve his storage ring, and prepared to draw the Dragon's Lament.

How could the paparazzi on both sides have guessed that he would suddenly step out of the car? The traffic lane behind him was already blocked, and there was no time to reverse, leaving them with no choice but to slam on the brakes right behind his vehicle and pretend to be ordinary passersby.

Nie Canghan, the Left Envoy, and the Right Envoy struck simultaneously, their fists and precious swords unleashing a coordinated assault. Yet the combined strength of the three Ninth-Stage Divine Realm cultivators still fell vastly short, completely unable to shake Chu Yang in the slightest.

Liu Yingfeng's words caused Liu Weiyang's already lowered head to sink even lower. Hua Zechuan even wondered if she would try to burrow into the ground if there happened to be a hole there.

Jiang Yuanhe nodded, though he hadn't heard all the details. Ye Chen was right: the refugees were not to be feared; what was terrifying was the plague they carried. For the sake of safety, it was best if everyone simply stayed indoors.

Unfortunately, the phone kept ringing with unyielding persistence, as if the caller would never stop until achieving their goal. The ringing refused to cease.

Wei Cheng's mission was to head to Kouzi Village to check for any signs of infection and to inspect what the new research institute was actually like.

"Really..." The expression of pure joy on the opponent's face had barely surfaced before it instantly froze as an immensely terrifying azure sword qi tore through the earth, cutting her directly in half.

That is to say, unruly brats ought to be strung up and given a proper discipline. Hearing the youth's words, Lorn felt the veins on his forehead throb with anger. Even an idiot could tell the youth was mocking him; in another world, a month constituted a whole season.

"Give them names, won't you?" Tang Qiuxue tugged gently at his arm, wearing the pitiful expression she always used when acting coquettishly.

"The Tulip can call me John. You're one of my favorite football stars, and all my friends call me that. Aren't we friends now?" Seeing that it was Ruud Gullit, Li Feng laughed and interrupted him.

After tossing and turning for a year and a half, Hughes finally remembered that he needed to fulfill his third dream. He returned to America, purchased a main combat aircraft of the era, and set about modifying it alongside a team of engineers.

This was precisely the fundamental reason why the witch from the Thumb Realm had been dealt with by Talos after being trapped in the surface world: there were no cosmic laws remaining to respond to her curses or spells.

Legend had it that the deity who held the portfolio of [Slaughter] had fallen years ago in a divine war against the Orc King of Gods, the God of War. His divine kingdom had been shattered during that fierce and bloody conflict, transforming into a meteor shower that plunged down into the material plane.

Qin Hui himself was not averse to serving such a master. He knew full well that with a master who possessed such a strong desire for control, playing the part of an obedient and docile dog allowed one to survive far longer than acting clever on one's own initiative. The smarter the person, the more they loathed subordinates who tried to outsmart them. At least for the sake of staying alive a few days longer, one had to put on a convincing act.

Especially Qilin, whose body had suffered injuries from excessive gaming; he had an overwhelming yearning to grow stronger.

"Since I have already established my own estate and faction, during the days I spend in seclusion, you should widely recruit high-level retainers. As long as they are not cultivators burdened by a notorious reputation, and possess both strength and talent, you may take them all in."

Hearing that monsters capable of terrifying even the elders had appeared ahead, the disciples felt their mental states teeter on the verge of collapse.

Things like this accumulated like a snowball. Peach was naturally adorable and exceptionally obedient, often knowing how to cooperate with Wuren for photoshoots. Occasionally, she would lift her paw toward the camera, tilt her head, and let out a soft "meow" with a look of pure curiosity.

At the exact split second of a lightning-fast moment, Chen Mu instinctively clicked the ground and dashed ninety degrees to the side.

"...Here they come, here they come, here they come! The Deputy Brigade Commander and Her Grace Princess Zhao Min have arrived!" Wu Yanyan monkey-cried as she cleared the path ahead, loudly announcing the arrival to Aunt Zhao Feiyan over by the side.

Regarding the genetic cultivation system, the amount of information Su Hong had gathered so far was still far from sufficient, so he had yet to begin researching this external cultivation system. Therefore, if he were asked to customize a cultivation template for genetic cultivators right now, he truly lacked any confidence whatsoever.

There were quite a few various trees on the island, along with plenty of low-lying vegetation like bushes and wild grass, and a number of low-level mystical beasts living there.

That dim, warm light acted like a beacon guiding sailors on the ocean; the previously panicked and hollow heart was instantly filled by this dim glow.

Glancing at Wu Xiaotong, Wuren grinned with mischievous malice, then proceeded to tweak the settings of her system slightly.

Li Xin harbored considerable apprehension—even fear—regarding Mu Yi's strength. Having witnessed Mu Yi in action and knowing his own limitations, he realized that going head-to-head with Mu Yi was practically impossible.

"Second Brother, who would have thought there would be such a vast and magical lake beneath these Nine Desolate Mountains?" Yan Wu smiled across at Huodou.

"Let's go. Leaving this place might make you feel a bit better. Now that Milisia is gone, there's no real point in lingering here. You should consider the feelings of your surviving family members instead." Ouyang Jue bent down, forcefully hauled Rogers to his feet, and spoke to him with utmost sincerity.

"Haha, looks like I'm bound to win this match." Not only did the onlookers think Fang Qi was doomed to lose, but even Jiang Yu, currently competing in the match, felt absolute certainty in his victory.

"Alright, cut the bickering. Since everyone is ready, let's set off now." Ouyang Jue had long since been unable to contain his impatience, and upon hearing Seven Kills and Optimus Prime endlessly spouting nonsense, he immediately began urging them along.
