117 The True Dharma

“Black Dragon?” Qin Xiran blinked her large, watery eyes and asked, “Is it the legendary spirit pet?”

“Exactly,” Bai Zongnan replied proudly. “You should know the difference between a spirit pet and a spirit beast, right?”

Qin Xiran shook her head. She was a wandering soul with no chance of forming a contract with a spirit beast, let alone a spirit pet.

Bai Zongnan narrowed his eyes. “A spirit pet is a higher existence than a spirit beast. I once heard from the ancestors—”

Step by step, Zhao Dan’s gray-white hair grew even paler, a sign of utter exhaustion.

Moreover, when one’s Nascent Soul transforms into a ghostly deity, memories remain intact, cultivation does not decline, and the lowest rank is a fifth-tier ghostly deity—this is the classification in the cultivation world.

For some reason, upon hearing the number ‘nine,’ Lu Yiming felt a deep, ominous premonition: the entire Yunhai refuge might never again nurture more dragons.

Several brother refuges were slowly approaching. Due to slow propulsion and a shift in wind direction, it would take quite some time before they could converge.

Xu Min and Shen Jiao had a bit of a materialistic streak in their nature. They had worked together before; sometimes, when encountering a wealthy benefactor, they partnered up, but at other times, they competed silently, leaving the choice to the benefactor.

Li Si, Wang Wan, Xiong Qi, Pang Yi, and others exchanged glances, their gazes landing on the ugly deputy envoy.

“Gou Haodong and Song Sixuan, right? Follow me,” the high priest’s indifferent voice came from behind.

Though impoverished, one should not cling to the high position of a fallen kingdom. Even in poverty, do not covet the stipends of chaotic lands.

In that instant, the approaching figure of Gou Haodong overlapped with the image of her master. In a daze, Zhou Jing was filled with shock and anger, shouting words she had no chance to utter when she was violated.

Had Qin Zhiyi not been so sharp-tongued, always enraging him, perhaps Gu Siyuan wouldn’t have held such a grudge, always brooding over that slap, wanting to take it back.

At that moment, Yan Qiuming was standing beside Mai Zi, keeping her company. The doctor’s words frightened him; he couldn’t believe his ears and thought he had misheard. He stared blankly at the doctor.

Fang Ruohua spoke casually, but Bao Zheng did not take it lightly. Unable to wait for the morning court, he hurriedly entered the palace.

The waiter was startled by Dong Shishi’s sudden change in attitude. Listening to her words, he felt deeply uncomfortable.

For a single Rift Demon Emperor, for a demon beast used and discarded, a lifetime was completely sacrificed.

The air above the furnace twisted in a distorted vision. Without fire control, waves of heat surged forth, looking terrifying.

“It’s so late, why aren’t you resting… Aren’t you sleepy? Or is it that ancient ferocious beasts don’t need sleep?” Qin Huanhuan, seeing that the beast’s expression no longer seemed hostile, cautiously moved a little closer and asked.

“Well, what do you two think of this game?” Zhao Hong glanced at the Hesheri and Guoluoluo clans.

Consort Rong smiled and said, “As for me… I only hope these two children grow up safely.” This was undoubtedly a mother’s deepest prayer. Having lost so many children, Consort Rong feared most that her own children would die young.

Qin Huanhuan was very curious about what kind of performances there would be, so today, she and Xu Changge aimed to find a show.

Mai Zi pondered and decided that no matter what others said, Su Maixia’s attitude was the most important. In the end, he would have to face it himself, so she did not push further.

“Brother Mi, do you have anything else to say? Go ahead, I’m listening!” This piqued my curiosity—could he know something more?

“Killing me won’t be so easy. Divine power, devour!” Mu Chen shouted, unleashing countless sources of divine power, frantically refining them to break through the divine power realm.

But thinking about it, it was understandable. Aren’t all gamblers who lose everything like this?
