Chapter 20

After Jiang Yu made the first toast, everyone eagerly followed suit, raising their glasses to Ji Xiao with an unstoppable momentum. Ji Xiao barely had a chance to refuse before someone forcefully poured the drink down his throat.

Ji Xiao looked at him, about to speak, but was suddenly silenced by an unexpected kiss that sealed his lips tightly.

Zhao Min couldn’t hold back any longer and spilled everything. Chen Xiaoya was so anxious she nearly spat blood. If Zhao Min hadn’t spoken up, the simmering anger would have surely caused Chen Xiaoya to explode. But now, there was no turning back; compared to Chen Xiaoya’s life, Wang Hao’s secret was no longer a secret.

Suppressing the fury within, Ye Mu Jue set down his chopsticks and stood, intent on leaving this place of turmoil. Yet, his departure only emboldened Ye Mu Yang, who mocked him with even greater insolence.

A day later, it was unclear how Master Qingxuan had managed to persuade Ge Xian to stay, but many spiritual masters expressed their dissatisfaction at this unexpected decision.

Moreover, every courtyard in the World Without Flowers was unique, requiring immense effort to create—something the Falling Flower Sect simply could not accomplish.

I remained silent, lowering my eyes to the water bottle before me. Noticing my thoughts, he reached for a bottle, stood, and handed it to me after circling the table. I twisted off the cap and eagerly drank more than half. He sat back down, patiently waiting for me to catch my breath before speaking.

This phenomenon astonished most people, and tensions inevitably arose at the boundaries of these realms.

When Li Cheng Yi spoke, his gaze never left Li Xuan Tu, who, as usual, was indifferent, busy removing his armor and changing clothes as if no one else existed.

His face was etched with endless loneliness. Today, he sought out Ji Xiao not for conflict, but to inquire about Jing Mo Li—what kind of person he truly was, and whether he was worthy of Xu Xin’s lifelong trust.

As for Li Tian, who was flung away, his internal organs felt as if they were being turned upside down—he was in unbearable pain! And yet, he had collided with that man? Impossible. Li Tian’s brain cortex had lost much of its regulatory function due to severe exhaustion of his spiritual consciousness, leaving him dazed and vacant.

It could be said that this world was built piece by piece by the Nine-Eyed Demon King! How could she stand by and watch it be destroyed by the Seven-Eyed Demon King’s incarnation?

Without hesitation, Wang Jin agreed to change rooms—why endure hardship when one could enjoy comfort? For someone as shameless as Wang Jin, embarrassment was simply nonexistent.

“Could these people all be… undead?” Shen Yu trembled all over. She had heard of a kind of undead that retained their living appearance and even memories, and wondered if the villagers here were similar.

“Crack…” Two bones snapped sharply. The two people’s eyes widened in shock, as if experiencing the world’s greatest pain.

“Is that so? Well, that’s perfect, because I can take advantage of the opportunity without restraint,” Qin Shuya said, hands clasped, smiling slyly at Ye Jingwen.

He snorted coldly and charged straight at the top-lane Gnar, who was provocatively positioned in the middle of the frontline.

Prince Bruch felt as if pierced by a needle, wincing in pain but biting back any sound to preserve his princely dignity.

It was like a curse—I kept traveling through time and space, losing count of how many times. Perhaps thousands. I had nearly given up, but unexpected events always forced me onward.

Though everything seemed slow, Chang’e and the others eventually reached the end of the corridor. At that moment, the breathtaking scene before them left them utterly stunned.

“Ha ha, well then, I, Tang Ming, shall not disappoint my brothers. Cheers!” Tang Ming raised his glass proudly, with Chiyo and Lei Xi smiling as they lifted theirs in unison.

Just after finishing this, he realized Hua Ling’er was urgently trying to contact him, using the slave brand as the core.

“Boom!” Another tremendous clash erupted as fists collided fiercely. The terrifying force rippled outward, stirring waves across the sea’s surface.

This explained the strange scene before them. Fortunately, if not for today’s unprecedented battle on the brink of eruption, this place might have become a sea of corpses.

Thinking this, Shangguan Xiaoyao quickly regained his composure. Enlightened, he smiled brightly and regarded Xia Zhonglou with deep admiration.

Of course, if one could cause dizziness and then follow up with a combo, victory would be assured. Jiang Yan’s Abyssal Power might also yield unexpected results.

“Hand it over.” Upon hearing the Silver Hand's command, the thieves raised their weapons.

Xu Dan was frightened in the end, especially after seeing Xu Xiangqing’s black-clad bodyguards. Having little experience, the sight alarmed her, making her think Xu Xiangqing was involved with the underworld.

Oba Donkey possessed invisibility, with a sturdy yet agile body—hard to deal with. Milan Cisco wielded fire control, but his ethereal movements suggested he might have wind abilities as well.
