Chapter 117: Even Heroes Struggle to Resist a Beauty’s Charm (Second Update)

Yun Shuang raised her eyebrows slightly, unsure how to explain her relationship with Jiang Xiao to Shu Niang. She could only clear her throat and murmur vaguely, “Don’t worry, he won’t deceive me. If you’re afraid, just stay in the backyard and pretend he doesn’t exist.”

“But if today’s matter spreads, people outside might misunderstand...”

Shu Niang was taken aback, quickly waving her hand. “I... I won’t say anything. Miss Shuang’s kindness in taking me in is already a great blessing to me.”

It seemed that Chu Han was not as naive and pure as imagined; she understood weighing pros and cons and did not stubbornly insist on the topic of “bare face.” Unlike Gu Yeyou, who was completely blinded by power and overly confident in herself.

A rumbling in her stomach reminded Jiang Tan she hadn’t eaten properly for days. To avoid starving in her rented room, this socially anxious woman finally mustered the courage to open a live-streaming app.

Guilt and sorrow filled the crown princess’s heart. This seemingly unruly sixth brother was the closest and most reliable to her. She had sent him to Feilai Peak to investigate, never expecting he would lose his life!

A month passed, but the rebel’s sharpness was hardly dulled. The new recruits’ commander could no longer tolerate it, especially when facing Fei Huai, whom he had long suppressed and looked down upon. This only intensified his frustration.

It was like an ancient celestial urn falling among the mountains—dangerous terrain with cliffs so steep even monkeys could not climb.

Yet, upon arriving at the new recruits’ camp, a sense of belonging gradually blossomed, and he began to enjoy it.

Jiang Tan held the golden cicada talisman, watching a distant figure leave, shaking her head with helplessness.

Everywhere she went, she found herself amazed. Each inspection revealed wonders. By the time Hua Qiuyan returned to the temporary ward, night had fully fallen.

Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from beneath the ground, insects and birds scattered in a frenzy. The scene was eerily familiar—just like the grass patch where Xiuyan had been severed moments ago.

“I came out because the two powerful beastmen beside me heard the sea beast’s call, alright?”

Honda left the hotel with a heavy heart. Today’s events felt like a dream to him.

He swallowed a demon god pill, forged by the Sky Roc Demon Lord. It could rapidly replenish vast amounts of demonic energy and heal wounds inflicted by forces from other realms. The Azure Dragon King slowly rose, surrounded by demonic aura, gradually healing his injuries. On the other side, the White Tiger Demon King’s condition had stabilized; after some rest, he could fight again.

Water sounds echoed from the bathroom as Xiuyan, just returning from the hunt, shifted direction, lifting the beast-hide curtain and stepping inside.

The bandits here had a long history, many tracing back to before the rise of the Huadian Empire. If it weren’t for a careless bandit gang robbing Jill Town, they wouldn’t have faced such a catastrophic defeat.

Wukong turned his head and saw the man he had just knocked away pointing at Feiyun, silently mourning for him.

Without hesitation, several people headed to the rear residence. Upon opening the door and stepping inside, they saw Song Beiyun crouching beside a strange furnace, tending the coals and blowing air. A peculiar smell filled the courtyard.

Xiuyan cast a cold glare at him. Under Ji Nuan’s amused gaze, Lei’er shrank his neck. He bared his large white teeth and offered a sycophantic smile.

“You’d rather never withdraw your monthly salary from your account, so why would you willingly take it out for a wedding now?” Huang Fu’s recent behavior was unusual. Li San immediately suspected he was getting married; otherwise, such a thrifty man wouldn’t spend money so freely.

Seeing the suddenly appearing elder, Wang Feng narrowed his eyes. The man had appeared silently, surely a Fusion Realm expert. If this had been before, he would have panicked and tried to escape with Cao Han.
