Chapter 20
Li Ruhai glanced at the socks in his hand. He had known Xufang Xing for a year, leaving behind many beautiful memories, with this white cotton short sock being the only memento remaining . "You're not wrong, Shen—Yongcheng's seafood is indeed delicious, even better than what we had at Aunt Gong's place last time!" Even Shen Luo Yao, accustomed to gourmet feasts, couldn't help but（admire）. However, after a long pause, no response came from the sky, leaving Shen Yu staring at his fist in disbelief, as if he'd seen a ghost . "Bing Pian, give me the sword—I'll do it," Lady Wang called out, her eyes glowing with determination. Ye Junlang becoming her disciple was essentially a competition for opportunities. Initially, the Ye family had the pretext of wanting their wayward disciples to learn from Wolf Lone, but in reality, Wolf Lone had his own agenda—to control Ye Junlang and thus gain an advantage . Should she check her stepson's room upstairs? If she did and it turned out to be a misunderstanding, the already strained relationship between her and her stepson would worsen. If she angered him and a quarrel ensued, the harmonious atmosphere at home would be destroyed . The once-silent Mo Shang Palace was bustling again, as lively as the imperial palace itself. From the car pulling up to the passengers exiting and switching seats to the Audi taking off in just three seconds, bystanders would think the driver had merely slowed down for a moment before making a turn for safety .
In the ancestral land, a thunderous voice echoed, audible to all, including Qin Ge, Liao, and the Beast King. The speaker released a surge of intense flames, clashing with the golden light descending from above, causing terrifying spatial ripples to spread in all directions . The leader of the Demon Dragon Blood Clan was none other than the bloodthirsty madman, with Xie Yang as his deputy. To everyone's surprise, Xu Er was absent. The remaining eight members were unfamiliar faces—after all, the narrator didn't pay much attention . This revelation indicated that the Qingyang Sword Sect had maintained contact with the Immortal Realm, a fact unknown to Li Tian Zhi, Zhong San Pu, and the Taoist Xiu . Upon hearing Luo Ping's words, the lords of the Demon and Devil Realms paled, none daring to speak, having lost all face at this moment . Xing Zhou City wasn't large, with a population of just twenty to thirty thousand, smaller than Tongling. After a brief stroll, Gao Chong and his companions had explored the city, grateful for the beautiful scenery of the Jialing River, with its fishing boats and the confluence of the river and Erhe Kou forming a cross-shaped landscape .
However, the conversation between the father and son on stage sparked a commotion among the audience. After a while, the mist cleared, revealing Li Tian Chou drenched like a mud figure, realizing that the filth in his body had been expelled—a legendary "Divine Meridian Cleansing" experience, both strange and exhilarating . Faced with Zhou Tao's provocation, Dongfang Leng Yu was about to lose his temper when Pei Dong Lai suddenly smiled. "But we can't be careless—they have the same number of players as us, 900 strong," he reminded. The abnormal behavior of their companions startled the gunman in the private room; though he dared not turn around, his hands shook violently, sensing a great danger behind him . "Why are so many people searching for it? Aren't they in danger?" Kaho worried. Shao Yu paced back and forth, always waiting for her this way. "It's not that I don't want to come, why the rush?" Greig showed no sign of satisfaction, but seeing Constantin's condition, he suddenly felt a deep sense of crisis. The Black Monk knew that if he couldn't capture Li Nan alive today, his own life would be forfeit . Tang An smiled, gaining new insights. He'd heard countless teasing remarks like Jiang Huo's, so he could guess what Chen Shao Shi would say next. Netizens in the live broadcast burst into laughter at Jiang Huo's shameless words, while Qin Di awkwardly fell silent, not wanting to continue the topic . To the eldest brother, they were just siblings; further discussion was pointless. The unease of the unknown, the self-condemnation of selfishness and possessiveness—all these defenses had vanished, leaving his consciousness drifting as he clung to the thought that as long as he lived, he couldn't let go of the person in his arms . The souls of Gao Sheng Tai's family, Yang Wu Chong, Dong Xi, and other prominent families from Dali were taken to Guang Yuan Zhou for detention. Since giving birth, Chu Xiu Xiu had never thought of Chu Tian Xing again, unwilling to have any connection with him, so she wasn't sure about his fate. But given Zhou Shao Jie's temperament, she feared Chu Tian Xing's situation was dire. Hearing Gu Bao Yi's words, Chu Xiu Xiu sighed inwardly . "Young Master Lü, you've helped me today, but if my actions cause you trouble with the city lord, I'd feel uneasy. Please take back your gold coins," she said, handing them over. However, shortly after departing from the main city directly under the jurisdiction of the Nymph Shrine, Qin Yu sensed something amiss. Since she had no use for them herself, he decided to give a few to those who truly knew how to utilize them . Those who had previously scolded Lin Fan now collapsed to the ground, their legs trembling with fear. At this moment, they dared not hesitate and immediately handed over the Nine-Leaf Durian to Lin Fan .
