Chapter 177: A Small Wager for Amusement

Inside the private dining room of the Meijin Pavilion, Wen Yueqing and Zunyou had struck a wager, neither of them willing to concede defeat.

"Kangqi, go downstairs and buy another five flowers to send to the one in the light pink dress." Seeing that Wen Yueqing had agreed to the terms of the bet, Zunyou instructed Kangqi to head down to the main hall.

"Yes, Your Highness, but as for the signature..." Kangqi hurriedly nodded in acknowledgment, then looked at Zunyou with a puzzled expression.

Zunyou waved his hand and said, "Just use your own name."

...

An endless storm erupted in such a manner; rocks shattered on the ground, magma burst forth, and mountain peaks were uprooted by the gale, hurled into the sky, only to be torn to shreds by the tempest.

Upon seeing Chu Feng turn back to fight, Green Leaf was instantly stunned. In her impression, Chu Feng was merely an ordinary Universe God.

The other factions likewise had their respective closely allied pontiffs. Although on the surface the Heavenly Alliance was jointly established by various forces, it was in reality merely an alliance of the three major religions, leaving them with very little genuine say.

Meng Keke arrived by the side of the Ape Demon King, a surging celestial might radiating from her body, clearly prepared for battle at a moment's notice.

Zhang Hao, however, cast a sidelong glance at him. As the two crossed paths, Zhang Hao gently brushed against him with his fingertips, then walked toward the main hall with a faint smile.

"The hour is getting late. Accompany me to bid farewell to the Sage, and then you may leave the palace and return to your mansion," Li Longji said as he supported Li Shouli and walked toward the direction of Li Xian.

Yet just a moment ago, she had witnessed Li Longji intending to personally embrace and comfort Consort Wu. While this was partly due to his deep affection for Consort Wu, it also indirectly demonstrated that he had run out of options.

The middle-aged man rebuked Chu Feng. At the same time, an aura at the tenth layer of the Houtian realm—or one might even say, at the half-step Xiantian realm—radiated from the middle-aged man, pressing down upon Chu Feng like a massive mountain.

At this moment, Stone was as glorious as one could possibly be, capturing the attention of the masses as the absolute center of focus.

Just by listening to the sound of the firecrackers, Zhang Hao knew that this year's festival had been celebrated well, lively, happily, and harmoniously.

There was no sign of Ah Shou anywhere within the entire valley. Ling'er panicked instantly, staring fixedly at the entrance of the immortal mansion and crying out. At this moment, the entrance to the immortal mansion was shaking violently, the peach-shaped giant boulder trembling as gravel and dust rained down, looking as though it might collapse at any second.

After returning secretly to Lanyue City, Ziyang remained behind closed doors, failing to summon his ministers or inquire about specific affairs of state. Instead, upon his return, he went straight into the Ruyi Dimension to check on the condition of the Earth Infant Sprite.

No matter how proud I was, I could no longer maintain my composure at that moment. After much deliberation, I decided to go find Guo Qiang in person.

Shao Han smiled slightly, suddenly reaching out to wrap his arms around Ruoshui's slender waist, and with a single roll, pinned her beneath his body.

Because I was watching television, I didn't turn on the main overhead light in the living room, opting only for the wall lamp behind me. In that half-lit, dreamlike glow, everything appeared both illusory and real.

Ziyang set off with twenty thousand bear-folk. Before departure, Ziyang had already dispatched messengers ordering Zhu Qi to detach ten thousand soldiers of the Golden Core realm to report for duty at his command tent.

Through the space-time teleportation array, Zhu Qi mobilized a million troops for reinforcement, with over five million more remaining on standby at any moment.

Seeing that its soul power was about to vanish completely, the Flying Bone Dragon lowered its proud posture and began to beg Ziyang for mercy.

Stroke by stroke, the knife cut downward, stripping away piece after piece of the rough jade's exterior edges. Yet apart from the initial appearance of a single patch of solid green, not even the tiniest speck of green appeared thereafter. Meanwhile, Mr. Peng's face turned somewhat green with anger.

"Haha, humans, you cannot escape. Surrender your lives to this lord, haha!" A frenzied laugh echoed from within the forest, and a moment later, a full six fierce beasts emerged from the trees.

"With such a frail body, you still go around picking fights. Go home and practice more!" Zhang Lin looked at the collapsed Chen Dong and shook his head.

A quiet and oppressive atmosphere permeated the space between them. The bright moonlight washed over the two figures, leaving them looking desolate and forlorn.
