Laura shot him a sideways glance and said, You’re Verity’s target. You can run now, but once we cross the isolation barriers, there’ll be nowhere left to hide.Albert smiled. I’m not afraid of her. I just don’t want to be held up outside the barriers and miss the chance to claim a Coiled Dragon Pillar.All talk. Laura shook her head, writing it off as Albert putting on a brave face to save his pride.She prepared to leave, warning Albert as she did so: Don’t follow me from here on out. We go our separate ways. We’re not even from the same vein, and right now, we’re still competitors.Disappointment flickered across Albert’s face as he sighed. I thought we’d forged a bond of battle camaraderie.Laura was equal parts annoyed and amused. The boy had a shameless streak a mile wide.Don’t follow me!Gripping her glazed staff tightly, she waved it at Albert, putting on a fierce act that, surprisingly, looked a little cute and childish.Without waiting for his reply, she moved in a flash and

If he were waylaid by her here, he would truly miss out on the fortune of the Black Yellow Dragon Aura Pond for nothing.Just as Albert was pondering a way to deal with the situation, he suddenly detected an extremely fierce surge of clashing energy not far to his right.One of the soul power auras felt vaguely familiar.A thought flickered through Albert’s mind, and he immediately accelerated, darting toward the source of the commotion.As the layers of mist parted before him, the scene ahead came into Albert’s view.It was a Shadow Dragon about a hundred meters long, its massive form already growing somewhat solid. With each swing of its claws, it tore through the void, its aura having already reached the Lower 1-Star Divine Realm.And the figure battling the Shadow Dragon was a lithe maiden wielding a glazed long staff. Her valiant and unrestrained bearing marked her as Laura, Legion Commander of the Second Legion of the Dragon Scale Vein.By the time Albert arrived, Laura was in h

Albert’s gaze shifted once more to where Verity stood, and his eyes narrowed slightly at once—the energy fluctuations emanating from her washed over him with an intense sense of pressure.A pressure even stronger than that from Baron.As Albert studied Verity, she seemed to sense his stare. Her cool, mountain-spring-like gaze locked onto his, and their eyes met.A warm smile spread across Albert’s face as he spoke: Lady Verity, your strength is extraordinary. It’s clear you’ve set your sights on the Golden Dragon Pillar. And Commander Baron is a gracious host—he might even step back and yield the pillar to you.Baron, standing not far away, twitched at the words. Though he had indeed been somewhat attentive to Verity, he would never dare hand over the Golden Dragon Pillar so easily on such an occasion—it would bring utter disgrace to the Dragon Blood Vein, and his elders would surely punish him for it afterward.Grimacing, he said: Commander Albert, do not speak nonsense. Lady Verity

Louis fell into a brief pause. Virgil and Patty’s insistence was no doubt an attempt to let Verity showcase her prowess before all the distinguished guests, and put the young prodigies of the Supreme Martin Clan in their place—this was a game the two sides had played countless times over the years.Yet now that Virgil had spoken up, even offering the Nine Peaks Earth Aura as an exchange, it would indeed be awkward for him to refuse on such an occasion.After all, he had gone to great lengths to invite Virgil to the Dragon Blood Mountain Range in the first place.In the end, he nodded and smiled: Very well. I have long heard of Verity’s Nine-Star Water Element Soul. On this grand feast day, we might as well witness her skills for ourselves.At his words, all the guests present perked up. With Verity’s participation, the Black Yellow Dragon Aura Pond trials had just become far more intriguing.Dragon Blood Mountain, Secondary Peak.Several towering mountain peaks rose abruptly from the

The real reason Patty has come to the Dragon Blood Mountain Range to offer her birthday greetings is likely to catch a glimpse of the son of Andrew and Charlotte.Yet even though the boy named Albert had neither parent by his side, his most formidable grandfather—Thomas—was present. Moreover, to welcome back this grandson who had been stranded far from home, Thomas had already made it clear that the grudges of the past belonged solely to the older generation. Thus, if Patty tried to bully the young Albert with her superior strength, Thomas, seated on the high dais, would surely not allow her to act with impunity.In the sudden hush, Albert rose to his feet with a calm expression and addressed Patty: Albert greets Hall Master Patty.Within the golden palace, numerous gazes flicked over to him in secret. Clearly, they were all somewhat curious about this son of Andrew and Charlotte, who had returned from the Outer Divine Continent.After all, Andrew and Charlotte had once blazed so brig

As the five titans of the Supreme Martin Clan made their appearance, the hearty laughter of Louis, the central Dragon Blood Vein Master, boomed like thunder, echoing in every corner of the vast Dragon Blood Mountain Range.At the same time, distinguished guests of great renown from all factions, guided by the reception deacons, stepped into the golden palace.Leading the way was an elder in a black robe. His features were ordinary, yet his eyes were exceedingly peculiar: one pupil blazed with lightning, a world of thunder evolving within it, while the other burned with flame, as if endless magma churned in its depths.As he walked, thunder and fire seemed to flow beneath his feet, sending the surrounding space into constant tremors.Albert’s gaze fixed on the black-robed elder, his heart skipping a beat—this man was clearly also a Holy Spirit Realm powerhouse.Moreover, behind the elder, Albert spotted a beautiful lady in a fiery red robe, with Verity, whom he had met the previous nig

Mia said earnestly, This high school classmate of mine has had a tough lot in life. Her family has always favored sons over daughters and never paid much attention to her. What’s more, she’s marrying because she’s pregnant, so her in-laws don’t think much of her either. She asked me today if I could drive my BMW as the lead car in her wedding send-off convoy. She probably thinks a BMW is already a luxury car, but you know how it is in the city now—for wedding convoys, the lead car is at the very least a luxury vehicle worth over a million yuan. No one uses a BMW 5 Series as the lead car. So I’m begging you, could we borrow one of the two luxury cars from Mr. Gustav and Mr. Burt that you have for her to use as the lead car...Alan asked in surprise, Borrowing a car is no problem at all—I haven’t driven them since that auto show. But honey, I’ve only ever heard of wedding processions that pick up the bride, never ones that send her off. What kind of custom is this?Mia explained, This c

As she said this, she turned to look at Alan earnestly, tears streaming down her face as she spoke with all her heart: Master Alan, if you can accept me, I am willing to give myself and the entire Green family to you hand and foot. From now on, you will be the patriarch of the Green family. I want nothing else for the rest of my life but to be your beloved and stay by your side to serve you. If you love wandering the world, I will abandon the entire Green family and wander with you wherever you go. If you want children, I will bear you many. As long as you are happy, I will do anything...Alan’s heart was undeniably moved.In every way imaginable, Lucia was a rare and exquisite beauty, one in ten thousand.Not only was she strikingly beautiful, but she also had a most endearing personality. Raised with the finest noble education since childhood, her abilities were far from ordinary.She was practically the epitome of virtue and gentility among wealthy young ladies.Even the great clan

Alan asked, Is there anything I can do to help? If you need me, just say the word.Lucia said, Master Alan, you’ve already helped me so much—I can’t possibly ask for more of your help. On the contrary, if you ever need anything from me in the future, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I truly hope to have the chance to repay your kindness!Alan smiled and said, You don’t have to keep talking about repaying me. If I ever need your help, I’ll definitely not stand on ceremony with you.Lucia nodded gently and said, Alright, Master Alan. I understand.Alan hummed in response. Lucia, when you go back, give the Rejuvenation Elixir to your grandfather directly. It’ll make him very happy.Lucia hurried to say, I understand!Alan smiled softly, checked the time and said, Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s go. I’m sure the Green family patriarch is waiting for you to return right now.Lucia felt a deep sense of reluctance. She had never had the chance to be alone with Alan like this, especial

Alan nodded and said, Sure.Lucia’s face lit up with delight. Wonderful! I know a spot that’s incredibly quiet, with hardly anyone around. We can walk along the beach and feel the breeze on our faces.With that, Lucia steered the car onto a side road.After driving a kilometer or two, she pulled over to the curb and said to Alan, There’s a path down from here. Let’s get out here.Alan nodded, pushed open the car door and stepped out.The weather had grown increasingly cold, yet it did not bother him in the least.Lucia was wrapped in a fluffy fur coat, beneath which she still wore the elegant and noble evening gown from the birthday banquet, and she clutched a red Hermès handbag in her hand.A cold gust of wind blew, sending her flowing long hair fluttering in the wind. A few strands of black hair brushed against her cheeks, lending her an air of exquisite charm.There was not a soul or a car in sight, front or back. Lucia faced the wind, took a deep breath, and smiled. I used to love

Because she thought, if she had saved the entire galaxy in her past life, then Mia, Master Alan’s wife, must have saved the whole universe in hers.Vincent’s heart was filled with emotion at Alan’s words. This was the brother he had grown up with—even after doing him such a great favor, he did not make Vincent feel indebted in the slightest, but instead attributed it all to their past lives.Though he had lived a life of poverty for more than twenty years, having such a capable brother made all those years of hardship worthwhile.At that moment, Alan checked the time and said to Vincent, Vincent, Mr. Blair, I still have business to attend to tonight. So you drive Mr. Blair back first. When we get the chance in the future, I’ll go to Persian Harbor or you come to Plass City, and we brothers will catch up then.At this, Blair quickly waved his hand and said, Master Alan, I have no other business tonight! You and Vincent go on with your catch-up—don’t mind me at all!Alan smiled softly a

Now that Lucia had become the patriarch of the Green family, the birthday banquet felt even more grand and spectacular.As the banquet drew to a close, the Green family’s servants wheeled out a huge birthday cake.Twenty-six candles were stuck all over the cake. The moment the lights in the hall went out, Lucia stood alone before the candles. The flickering candlelight cast a glow on her exquisite face, making her indescribably beautiful.Lucia folded her hands in front of her chest, closed her eyes, and silently made a wish.Then she opened her eyes and looked at Alan with an affectionate gaze.At this moment, she thought Alan was the god of her heart.Alan did not notice the way Lucia was looking at him.Since she was in the dark when the lights went out, he took advantage of his extraordinary eyesight to quietly observe Clyde and Edwin, father and son.The instant the lights went out, the father and son, who had been feigning calm and forcing smiles all along, had their expressions
