Chapter 53: Her abilities must satisfy the higher-ups

If you want to secure better benefits and treatment, you must demonstrate commensurate capability." Misha twirled a strand of Yu Xia's long hair between her slender fingers, offering earnest advice as her mentor: "In other words, you need to showcase your strengths."

Currently, Yu Xia's unique traits were her rapid spiritual recovery and her inability to sense pheromones. Such peculiarity, however, hardly seemed impressive when possessed by a B-minus-grade Guide, which explained why the upper echelons of the Serpent Division did not place much value on her.

The hunchbacked old man was surnamed Yin, and those who knew him called him Hunchback Yin. He was a cultivator who had achieved the Core Formation stage.

"Farewell, Hilder," Sirocco said with a light chuckle, waving goodbye to the Second Apostle. She transformed into black smoke and flew into the City of Silent, where she began to look around with curious eyes.

In other words, had he been as reckless as he was back then, he would likely be facing police pursuit now. After all, he was no longer his former self. Back then, he genuinely believed that borrowing money and paying it back was as natural as the law of Heaven.

And the facts indeed bore this out. Lady Langji had attained the supreme fruit of Dao only after the death of "Zhong Qiongqi." Naturally, since that was the case, "Zhong Qiongqi" could not possibly remember it, nor could Zhong Qiongqi remember it now.

Was this pill truly refined by him? Or had that person discovered something? He should not have been so impulsive in the first place!

Lin Ai felt that... perhaps the fireworks brought a touch of lively atmosphere to this slightly desolate world.

There is a saying: when someone offers courtesies for no reason, they are either a thief or up to no good. Lately, he was always rushing to do Jian He's chores and sticking to her wherever she went, all to secure a more prominent position in her life—important enough that she would find everything difficult to manage without him.

As long as they found the physical body of Mount Black and forced Ancestor Bai's divine soul out of it, Shen Shi could likewise drag Mount Black into a dream. Once Mount Black entered Ancestor Bai's dream, its physical vessel would be at Shen Shi's mercy. It was true that Shen Shi's current strength had declined, but he was still fully capable of slaying a soulless demonic body.

Even knowing that this was merely a mission world, one could not help but be shocked by its degree of realism. Having immersed oneself in such a bustling place for too long, some might perhaps be unwilling to return to reality.

Instantly, the miasma and deathly aura swirling around Yuntaike Temple churned, transforming into ferocious ghosts that lunged at Niu Meng.

Huo Zihui pointed to the middle spot in the second row, and I pulled Fan Qi to the tombstone, forcing him to kneel there.

Outside the entrance of the grand hall lay an expansive patch of green lawn, perfectly suited for today's battle. As soon as Ye Chen stepped out of the hall, Sun Hong took the initiative and charged toward him.

The name Ye Chen appeared within the sight of all the aristocratic families for the very first time, and the terrifying might of the Zhonghai Ye family resurfaced in everyone's minds.

It seemed that none of the top fifty outer sect disciples were pushovers; the previous Beiye possessed one hundred and eight elixir soldiers.

Thinking that Fang Zheng had retreated so far because he believed he could not hit his target, he failed to realize that Fang Zheng's spiritual longbow could take a life from two hundred meters away with its lethal power entirely undiminished.

Ruirui had once been utterly infatuated with Xu Yi, and the most classic thing she ever said was: "A talented man is just so damn sexy."

Of course, while it was impossible to equip every single Xuanhuang Dao Ancestor with one, they at least possessed some eighty or a hundred first-tier cosmic treasures.

In his view, Qu Qingyou's act of smearing the Nine Nether Soul-Dispelling Powder on the envelope was an extremely malicious offense. Although the drug itself was not lethal enough to be fatal, judging from the series of consequences it triggered, accusing her of attempting to murder her fellow disciples was not the least bit unjust.

Qu Qingiran almost immediately pinched her own thigh, terrified that she would burst out laughing if she held it in any longer.

He sat on the ground, looped a towel around the door handle, and slipped his neck through it from the inside. In that posture, with his eyes closed, he looked as though he had simply fallen asleep.

The empire had always revered the southward-facing position as supreme, followed by the eastward-facing position. For this very reason, although the Crown Prince's residential palace was officially named the "Dragonet Palace," over time it came to be known as the East Palace simply because it was situated on the eastern side of the entire Purple Firmament Palace.
