Chapter 522
Yun Zijing dashed out of the living room, heading straight for the dog hole that had been her motivation for losing weight. She dug out a bulging cloth bag from a patch of grass beside the hole, shook off the dirt with her paws, and awkwardly squeezed through the dog hole, clutching the bag in her mouth.
"That was just fate dealing with that incident for you; I still have scores to settle with him..." Zhou Buyi insisted stubbornly.
Wang Junjie couldn't help but chuckle as he saw Li Yanyang approaching. Just when he was about to strike, she walked right into his path.
"Thank you for your advice, Auntie, but we've decided to head into the mountains. We can take care of ourselves," Mu Qiu replied gratefully to the old lady's kindness, though she had no intention of changing her plans. If danger truly arose, she could always retreat into her space, but she wouldn't share that with the old lady.
Nangong Yu's expression changed dramatically; there was no escaping this. The sword before her radiated a strong sense of life-threatening danger.
"Don't worry! With my brother and the God of War backing us, even if we go to the Outer City, what’s the worst that could happen? Would the God of War really kill all three of us?" the master of the Battle Blade Mansion insisted.
While she had agreed to help Guan Tianpei, she had never intended to fight to the death, especially not when the odds were against her.
Laughter erupted among the crowd, who felt victory was within their grasp. The thought of the Jianmu tree soon to be theirs invigorated them all.
The hooves of the golden-armored rhinoceros thundered like an earthquake. With its head lowered, it charged at the three leaders, who were just brushing past the massive paws of the golden-haired giant bear, while the Shiyue Tiangou leaped out from behind, its gaping maw clamping down on the neck of the three leaders, pinning them in place.
Xin Chun glanced at Wu Zhi with delight, then shyly held the inkstone with both hands, continuing to help him grind ink.
Fortunately, Xiao Rang was still just a hapless scholar with no ties to Liangshan. Although he had a bit of an arrogant streak, with Wu Zhi's skills, it wouldn't be difficult to win him over.
"Yes!" Xu Lang responded to Shen Yi's command without hesitation, his eyes filled with determination.
After dinner, Lianxin cleared away the dishes while Xue Fengyi accompanied Ji Huayu, Lan Ruoyun, and Xi Wang for a heart-to-heart talk, gradually leading the conversation to matters concerning the Tianqiao Kingdom.
Su Lili, who had collapsed into bed in the afternoon, had just woken up, clutching her growling stomach. She boiled a bowl of noodle soup, arranging it beautifully, and took out her phone to snap a picture.
The busy male servant could only nod helplessly before retreating into the storage room, curling up on the cramped bed in the corner.
The dramatic scene in Song Jing's room couldn't stop others from rushing into the bathroom, shocked by the sight of the hairball, with some unable to hold back and vomiting right then and there.

**Chapter 591: The True Nature of Xiao Li**
Clang—
Clang—
The sound of metal striking metal echoed from the wooden cabin, where a young man wielded a forging hammer, rhythmically pounding on farming tools, sparks flying.
His muscles were well-defined, drenched in sweat, his body illuminated by the fiery glow of the forge.
"Xiao Li, my sickle is crooked; can you fix it for me?" An old farmer entered, carrying his tools.
Taking the sickle and gripping the hammer, Li Mo suddenly recalled, "I’ve crossed over..."
Li Sisi felt a surge of pride; she was certain that if she found someone better than this guy, Liang Kuan would definitely let him go without a second thought.
Most importantly, she needed a trophy of substantial weight to vindicate herself. She, Fan Bingbing, was not just a celebrity remembered for her hype; she could act too.
Wu Fan rode the descendant of the Emperor Jiang, arriving at the location of the original Bing Rui Sect, now a lake spanning a hundred miles.
Once both parties agreed, Bai Yu and his group were just a mile away from the Great Blue Cave. "The question is simple: why is the sea blue?" Bai Yu almost laughed at himself but held it in. This question shouldn't be too difficult for Xia Yaorong. Sure enough...
Wang Zixuan noticed that Li Sisi was giving him no face, remaining unyielding, her expression growing darker. Ever since taking over the family business, who dared to look down on them, except for those red second-generation kids?
Support Mo Mo more; what’s wrong with hating the sea? Haha. Bai Yu's child had already been adopted; didn’t anyone want the others?
Watching Ah Hei's massive body struggle and roll on the ground, the terrifying figure bound by golden threads crushed the earth beneath it, a sinister smile flickering in the eyes of the muscular middle-aged man.
These skeletal figures didn’t need food; they only required energy to sustain themselves. Though a bit fragile, they were quite useful as servants, assistants, or cannon fodder.
With a single palm strike, Jiang Cheng had already shattered Lu Yuan's sword, his body flying out as he suddenly slammed a palm toward Gu Ziyou's heart.
However, lacking experience in commanding large-scale battles, Yao Ran didn’t stabilize the formation with his voice but instead issued commands, unleashing a wave of arrows.
His hands stripped her of her clothing piece by piece, kisses moving from her lips to her ear, her neck, and her collarbone, igniting a heat within Yan Xi that made her unable to suppress a low moan.
If she had known that this young man had slaughtered the entire family of the Minister of Finance to help her break off the engagement, she certainly wouldn’t have slept soundly, allowing her exhausted nerves to recover.
At a certain point, he would take a batch of task items to complete missions, reaping the rewards and gaining a significant amount of task activity points.
Moreover, Zhu Changluo knew that Zhong Zhenji's actions were far from over. The Zhejiang governor, Liu Yuanlin, should have already set off for the Changlu Salt Field. With the prosecutor and the Zhejiang governor involved, if Zheng Qingshan could still escape, then the court's face would be lost.
Huanqin gritted her teeth, deeply bowing to him before slowly turning to leave, step by step exiting the grand hall. Xie Ronghua watched her departing figure, a bitter smile creeping onto his lips. He had once fantasized about seeing her wear such a bright red wedding dress for him, but in the end, it all turned into a delusion.
Every surviving soldier of the Western Route Army was doing their best to suppress their cries. The voices of over thirty thousand people combined only made the sound more grand.
Before the football bubble burst in 2016, which club had ever spent over 100 million dollars on transfers within a year? That was truly extravagant.
Yin Qianling furrowed her brows slightly, sensing that there was indeed a possibility, but something still felt off.
"No, we can only say we were unlucky to have caught his attention..." Zhou Ge had no intention of blaming anyone; instead, he laughed and said.

**Chapter 592: The Way to Open Martial Arts, Who Is She?**
"How can an ordinary person fight against demons?"
The people outside the Jiangshan Sheji map were mostly pessimistic.
They had already mentally prepared for the possibility of being eliminated before the first round of natural disasters even began.
Xiao Li the blacksmith himself had no idea; he only knew that those extraordinary celestial beings in Tiancheng could summon winds and rains with a wave of their hands, shaking the earth with their immense power.
He also knew that those in the underground city who had gained miraculous powers had their own means to contend with them.
Their methods seemed to involve imitating demons, mastering a certain power called... martial arts?
Unfortunately, he had never practiced martial arts; aside from blacksmithing, he only knew...
"Oi!"
A small "stone" flew out, hitting the face of the snake-human creature, which instinctively reached out.
But it found that the "stone" dissolved upon contact, leaving a foul smell.
This wasn’t a stone; it was cow dung!
"Come here!"
The little figure with the hammer beckoned it with a finger.
Shang Wu outside burst into laughter, pointing at Xiao Li inside and saying, "Good, good, good! You’ve forgotten the past but haven’t forgotten the essence of what I taught you. Truly my precious disciple!"
The crowd silently edged away from her.
Who the hell taught this nonsense?
And what good is it?
"I thought Xiao Li had some backing, but it turns out he just threw... um, that thing?"
"Cough, but to be fair, he is indeed selfless and courageous. Even as a weakling, he can step up. He’s a person of action; when there’s trouble, he really steps in. Though it doesn’t look very elegant, it can be called... a gentleman?"
"A gentleman? He’s about to become a martyr!"
"That snake-human is really pissed off!"
In the light and shadow of the Jiangshan Sheji map.
Just moments ago praised for his courage, Xiao Li the blacksmith threw the cow dung and took off running.
He confirmed with a glance that he was up against a demon he couldn’t defeat.
He fled!
It chased!
Clever Xiao Li saw that the opponent was massive, like a small house, so he chose to sprint into the nearby woods.
Hiss—
The terrain in the forest was complex.
But Li Mo could clearly hear the sound of the snake's tail dragging behind him, growing ever closer!
He glanced back and saw that the snake-human was swiftly weaving through the trees, its agility completely defying its massive size!
