126 IF Route

A heavy silence fell over the group. Having just secured a hard-won victory, how could they possibly discuss withdrawing, or even taking a few days of rest?

Xinyan raised his glass. "No worries, no worries. As the saying goes, we didn't know each other until we fought. The past is behind us; we are friends now, and we agreed never to speak of it again. If you call me a friend, don't be so distant. Come, bottoms up." With that, he tilted his head and drained his glass.

"Thank you, Godfather. Mandolin will surely be even better in the future." Since Boss Zhou had put it this way, Xinyan no longer refused and graciously accepted the generous gift.

Whenever Xinyan refused, the Master would always just smile it off, yet he never gave up, continuing to send gifts to Xinyan from time to time.

Seeing that Xu Yuan was still asleep, Li Junxiu remained still for a moment, trying to recall what had happened the night before, but a splitting headache rendered her unable to remember anything.

"That's simple enough. The path, the opportunity, and the people are all right before you. It just depends on whether you cherish them and if you can seize them," Old Ghost suddenly slapped Xinyan on the shoulder and laughed.

"Just channel your spiritual energy into it. But if you haven't used it before, don't mess with it," Hidden Dragon said, a strange smile flickering at the corner of his mouth.

The Yin-Fiend Lion is the king of the Yin-Fiend battlefield. Not only do they fear no Yin-Fiend energy, but they can also consume it to bolster their own combat strength.

But no matter how anxious Mu Xiaojing felt, it was of no use. She could only wait. The longer she waited, the more anxious she grew. Every second was agonizing.

Ye Wuyou’s figure suddenly moved; he leaped from his warhorse like lightning, lunging straight toward the old man.

With a thought, Uchiha Peng tore open a spatial rift and retrieved a full set of cooking utensils—pots, bowls, and ladles—that he had prepared in advance.

Tang Lan mentioned that Huo Jingyuan used to come over to eat dinner with her every night... No wonder the portions had been so large during that time.

At this moment, the entire alchemy room fell silent. Ye Wuyou focused all his attention on controlling the Earth-Core Flame to heat the medicinal herbs. Since these herbs shared the same properties, there was no need to add any catalyst; he simply had to refine them bit by bit and then merge them slowly.

Wei Huayu didn't receive the money, but he did receive a reply: his mother would transfer thirty million to him tomorrow. She also told him to keep his word and stop making empty promises. She added that once the villa was ready, she would select a few maids from home to send over. Wei Huayu was overjoyed, browsing for villas on his phone while he ate.

The distance between them was already close, and as he lowered his head, his lips brushed against Qiao Ruoqing’s.

Outside the palace, Lu Yuanfeng looked at himself in the bronze mirror and noticed another gray hair. Why hadn't she returned yet?

Seeing Uchiha Peng pinned down, Biwa Juzo, who had been hiding in the shadows, immediately lunged forward, gripping his Executioner's Blade to launch a sneak attack from behind.

Although she had done many malicious things, Lin Muxiao still trusted her implicitly, telling her everything without reservation. Since that was the case, why would she bother replacing her? She didn't; instead, she set her sights on Lin Muxiao, milking her for all she was worth, and dialed the number.

Murong Xue understood that Ye Tianfeng meant she would attract special attention, so she nodded in agreement with a flushed face.

Suddenly, the silence made him feel uneasy. He placed her by the bathtub and thoughtfully filled it with hot water for her.

Since losing to Guo Zizhao at the Athens Olympics, he had not only lost his dominance in the men’s 100-meter freestyle but had also been plagued by injuries over the past few years. He had achieved virtually no notable results in various international competitions during this time.

He knew that at the upcoming meeting, this elder brother would certainly not be able to smile as easily as he was now.

Ito Yu wanted to stop him, but upon seeing Chang Fengyu’s sharp gaze, he kept his mouth shut. After all, a man like Chang Fengyu was no less stubborn than Hei Yan Ying, and when he turned cold-blooded, he was just as ruthless.

Watching her with bubbles all over her mouth, he had only one thought: she was truly a fool. But she was also truly adorable.

"It’s the same thing I said before: not spicy enough! You used too little chili; it’s too bland. A dish being too bland isn't necessarily bad, but it makes it hard to stimulate the appetite. Chili is the best tool for that. If you want people to fall in love with your food, remember, chili is indispensable," Li Qingming pointed out.

Moreover, such matters did not require his personal touch; he could simply let the investment company's manager handle it.

Zhao Yi’s perception had reached a terrifying level; he could sense Dai Qiuxiang’s subtle expressions and movements even without looking at her.

Aren't I a VIP player? Even those "Xinyue" members can cheat and tamper with game code without consequence. Are you really going to turn a blind eye to a big spender like me who has spent over a hundred thousand?

Having spent the night beside her without being able to sleep, Hei Yan Ying simply got up to cram on the scenic spots in Hokkaido. Heh heh, now was his time to shine; he had a rough grasp of the local scenery.

Her eyes brightened as she understood what was happening and what Ye Yu was doing. She looked at Ye Yu’s arrogant demeanor, secretly feeling smug—even if you don't say it, I can figure it out all the same.

Because the previous sect leader’s prophecies were always accurate, life and death rested on a single thought.

"Then, thank you, Old Qin—I'm truly sorry, we just arrived and are already causing you so much trouble..." Brother Liu, full of gratitude, nodded at us and smiled charmingly, revealing his snow-white teeth.

Following Quentin into a passage on the north side of the stone chamber, they passed through seven or eight rooms before finally stopping in one of them.

Lin Feng knew full well what had happened to his body; not only was there no injury, but he was also stronger than ever before.

Even I was stunned, let alone the other two. Brother Liu, who had been holding a cup of water, had his mouth half-open, the water in his bowl spilling over his lips and splashing onto his shoes; Sister Xue also wore a look of shock, staring blankly at Old Qin.

"Please tell your Saint that my Yellow Dragon Sect is willing to submit to him," the figure suddenly said in a calm tone. As his voice fell, the thousands of people kneeling on the ground opened their eyes one by one, unable to believe what their Grandmaster had just said.

Luo Yu was watching with great interest when Tie Lingting closed the room door and walked over. Upon seeing the feeding and water troughs in the cage, he exploded in anger. He turned toward a room on the left, threw the door open, and seemed to go off in search of someone.
