They were dressed in barbaric attire, reeking of alcohol, and cursing under their breath, much like men who had just stepped away from a gambling table.

The incident with the patient this time was a mistake on the part of his apprentice, Huang Yong. Yet, it would undoubtedly tarnish the reputation of Huang Jueming himself.

Yang Shuchen unbuckled his seatbelt and looked at the person who dared not even open their eyes; his anger instantly dissolved into a smile.

The moment I saw that white object, a flash of surprise crossed my eyes. I let out an excited cry and immediately began clearing the space around the white light.

At this moment, the Head Tree of the Primeval Wood Spirits of the Xingdong Great Tribe stood proudly in the place of honor, accompanied by four lightning-struck elder trees from his clan, awaiting the auspicious hour for the conferral of the king. This had been calculated by the High Priest days ago; the date was today, and the hour was drawing near.

Looking at Zhang Yuanyuan before her, she did not know why, but the words Ning Fengkai had said to her earlier suddenly flashed through her mind.
