Chapter 124: The Mark of the Fire Path, Luo Hao Takes Action

"Swoosh!"

A brilliant rain of fire erupted above the magma lake. With a mournful cry, the fire dragon finally collapsed. As previously speculated, the dragon was indeed a manifestation of the fire-path energy within the lake; now, it dissipated, reverting into the raw elemental power of the magma.

"The fire dragon has finally fallen."

Many martial artists breathed a sigh of relief, having been deeply unsettled by the creature's presence. Yet, just as the crowd began to rejoice, the purple-browed youth from the Heavenly Mystery Clan and Luo Hao exchanged grave, furrowed looks. The fire-path energy in the air had not vanished with the dragon's destruction; on the contrary, it had grown even more intense.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the entire area surrounding the magma lake...

In the car, Saori Takeda sat close to me, her arm affectionately linked with mine. She looked radiant, clearly in high spirits. As she spoke, she cast a glance, intentional or not, toward Mingyang Wang, who glared back at her before turning his eyes away.

Back then, the company’s main business was real estate, but a material supplier we partnered with took the money and ran, leaving us unable to get the construction crews started on time.

The relevant departments for the "Demon" film crew were all prepared, so Su Ye could begin filming the moment she joined the set—which happened to be around the same time as the start of "Flowing Light, Bright Moon."

It was not the first time Yuan Xilan had dealt with Mingyang Wang’s romantic troubles. Mingyang was too handsome and wealthy, and there were always desperate, moth-like women throwing themselves at him. Before she even had to intervene, Mingyang would personally "prune" these flowers himself, leaving them no room to recover.

"Fine, let's go browse the handbag section," Le'er Xiahou said with a shrug, choosing not to pressure her further.

Li Xun glanced at Zhuang Yan, then took the remaining two meal boxes from the insulated container, handing one to Zhuang Yan and keeping the other for herself.

Beichen Lin stood with his back to the flames, his gaze cold as he watched Lin Yan, who had collapsed onto the egret-shaped pedestal.

Yuan Xilan shot him a look of disgust, losing the desire to speak. She could tell that Mingyang Wang hadn't held back this time. In their past sparring matches, Linfeng Zhong never had a scratch on him, but now, even just looking at his face, Yuan Xilan could see several bruises where he’d been punched with lethal force.

"Alright, go back and get some good rest," Captain Wang said to Zhuang Yan and the others with a broad smile before turning to find his superiors. He had said all along that his men were up to the task, but no one had believed him. Now that the results were in, he wanted to see what they had to say for themselves.

At this moment, Li Meng was in a "red-named" state. There was no issue with a red-named player being killed by a monster; it was just a standard loss of levels. The drastic changes in the real world had no impact on gamers, especially losers like Li Meng who did nothing but play games.

It didn't take long before Yihuan came out wearing her pajamas; her cool, delicate features were highlighted in a way that had a unique charm.

"This bamboo scroll contains the techniques you seek. These methods are extraordinary; do not reveal them to others lightly. Choose only those you trust the most, let them learn, and try their luck. As for the requirements to study them, everything is recorded within the scroll."

Of course, other players could not see the information for the infected brown-skinned wild boar; this was a special perk for players who possessed the 'Perception' skill.

"I am well aware of this loophole, but I simply wanted to gamble with you. If I lose, I accept it willingly. If I win, I gain my freedom. And if you try to use this loophole to threaten me, it will be useless. You will never learn anything from me."

Su Xiaxia hesitated for a moment, then kicked off her shoes, carried them in her hands, and climbed onto Mingchen Beichen's back.

Seeing his young mistress display such a shy demeanor, Hezhe finally let out a sigh of relief, his heart settling at last.

Chu Xun thought to himself, his goal clear: he had to reach the Other Shore Realm. Now, with the aid of the omen and the body of the Ancient Golden Crow, Chu Xun temporarily possessed the power to "slay immortals across three realms"—the ability to leap over three cultivation stages to strike down an immortal.

The fabric was quite good, and the hand embroidery was exquisite. It was a purely traditional style of Hanfu, not one of the modified versions popular today. It possessed a deep, classical charm, complete with inner undergarments and a perfectly matched set of shoes and socks. He He loved it.
