Chapter 57: I Reject My Humanity! (12k Words, Asking for Votes)

Mercer grabbed V’s hand pressed against his neck, raising his hands in surrender just before passing out from asphyxiation: "You're gonna kill me, you're really gonna kill me!"
V finally let go, her face still flushed: "Forget it right now! Better yet, delete all data related to me from your brain! Don't overthink it, you hear me?"
"I'm not overthinking... Alright, fine, I'll never bring it up again, I promise."
Just as Mercer finished speaking, V got up from the chair with a blush: "I'm going out to get a drink. Do you want—"

Rong Wanxi noticed that Jing Yu looked a bit thirsty, figuring that he must have rushed over to find them the moment he arrived at Qingyun Manor. Although things had been somewhat delayed by Hua Shaohui's earlier commotion, he still hadn't had a chance to rest. Therefore, she poured a cup of tea for him, and another for Prince Chen.

The Taoist temple shook violently, and visible cracks appeared across its indestructible walls, evidently unable to withstand the explosive momentum of the two.

Cai Lin let out a soft huff, her red lips parting slightly as she recalled how Xiao Yan and Yao Lao, who were merely Dou Shi at the time, had rushed into the Snake-People's territory to snatch the Lotus Flame of the Earth's Heart. If not for her sudden mishap back then, that fellow would have been dead long ago.

Yet, upon second thought, how could an area of such vast magnitude possibly have been dug out by human hands? It must have been that the master of the tomb merely utilized the natural terrain to form such a magnificent spectacle.

Seeing this, everyone immediately realized that their previous guess was indeed correct—this truly was a stone tower that had been opened up by someone.

It wasn't just a firefight; there was also a helicopter sent to extract members of a certain organization, with a gunner directly strafing our helicopter.

Words are useless. Given the Crown Prince's command, what other choice did a lowly creature like her have other than to obey?

Xiao Yan steadied his mind and swallowed the Yuan-Protecting Pill. It instantly shattered, transforming into a dense mist of water vapor that enveloped all the meridians within his body. Under the soothing touch of the mist, the swelling sensation in his meridians dissipated significantly, replaced by a warm, comforting feeling.

Through that looping circle, one could seemingly catch a glimpse of the kingdom upon that mysterious tree reaching the heavens—rivers and villages, fertile waters and plump fish, blooming lotus flowers, and youths chasing horses on horseback.

Right at that moment, the White Wolf King suddenly let out a fierce roar at the two of them, as if it had heard their conversation. However, the moment its ferocious gaze met the Xuan King, it immediately looked away, seemingly daring not to meet his eyes.

"Remember, you are a Selected Attendant, and this Consort is a Noble Consort. Do not harbor any thoughts of tripping me up, nor even dream of stepping over me to rise in status! Withdraw!" At this moment, she had no desire to see these people who brought her such humiliation.

As if that weren't enough, a monster also crawled out from the cave—human-faced and beast-bodied. The moment it emerged, it split its grin, revealing a full mouth of jagged teeth.

There was support and there was opposition. Since there was controversy, let's settle it by a vote. Chen Chumeng was quite democratic after all.

The man in the black robe let out an "oh" sound, yet he neither dodged nor ducked. Acting as if he had encountered something amusing, he actually reached out his hand, attempting to grab the chilling frost right out of the air.

"Swish!" Qian Mu charged forcefully to the baseline, executing a floater to score two points. Yang Ming's strategy was beginning to show results.

The young man hung his binoculars and camera around his neck, quickly bolted out of the store, and began to flee. He was quite smart; instead of running toward desolate areas, he dashed into a densely crowded shopping mall, hoping to use its complex layout and heavy crowds to shake off Long Qing's pursuit.

The Soul-Stealing Ghost was shrouded in black smoke, moving ghost-like through a sea of corpses, its long hook striking relentlessly to sever the heads of the walking dead.

She had intended to comfort Kayang with her words, but everything Jiayu wanted to say was blocked right at her lips by Kayang. Dominant and relentless as ever, he rolled over to pin her beneath him, his hot breath brushing against her tender cheeks, followed by a passionate kiss pressed onto her body.

With that, the three of them set off, flying on their swords toward Riverside Village. Instead of going directly to Tian Anping's home to look for him, they hid near his house and observed for a while.
