Not far from the tavern, there was a vast stretch of barren land. Around its perimeter, numerous bonfires crackled and burned. The abundance of bonfires illuminated the open ground completely, eradicating any shadows where danger might lurk. At the center of this clearing stood three carriages side by side.

The moment those words were spoken, everyone present was stunned. They had all seen how intently Gu Ning'an had been staring at the painting, assuming he had witnessed some breathtaking scenery within it. But to their surprise, he claimed to have seen nothing at all? If he had seen nothing, why had he been staring at it for so long? Off to the side, the three noble guests who had already known the "answer" before arriving at the tavern merely smiled and shook their heads. They weren’t surprised that…

The night was dark as ink. As Gu Ning’an made his way through the mountain forest, a rich aroma drifted through the air and caught his attention. Following the scent, he soon came across a tavern. A bright red banner stood outside the entrance, fluttering in the wind. The glow of two red lanterns illuminated it, making the crimson fabric seem as if it were ablaze. The tavern was situated beside an ancient path, flanked by trees and barren land. Hidden within that desolate terrain were several…

Upon seeing with their own eyes what Liu Yao had done and hearing from their own children about her true intentions, those who had once looked down on her—those who had belittled and even openly or secretly disparaged her—lowered their heads in shame. They couldn’t even meet their children's gazes… After all, in times of famine, they had witnessed people selling their own sons and daughters for silver.

"What are you trying to do?!" The woman cried out in alarm, raising her hand to shove the emaciated woman away before pulling her child tightly into her arms.

The woman forcefully shook her sleeping husband awake and glared coldly at the emaciated woman. "Liu Yao tried to steal our child!" "What?!" "You damn woman, that's too much!"

Hearing Gu Ning'an’s generosity in offering the meat soup to everyone, the refugees hurriedly lined up, all the while showering him with praise. Setting aside his own bowl of pork rib soup, Gu Ning'an picked up a wooden ladle and gently stirred the pot. At once, the large chunks of rib meat fell apart, breaking into thin shreds. He did this because he realized that there were simply too many refugees. If he gave out whole pieces of meat, at least half of them wouldn’t get any at all. The first in…

On a narrow, ancient road, a group of displaced refugees trudged forward like lost souls, struggling with every step. Their clothes were tattered, their movements unsteady, and their faces bore deep imprints of helplessness. Their lifeless eyes reflected nothing but confusion about the future. The golden glow of the setting sun bathed them, stretching their shadows long upon the ancient road, making the scene appear even more desolate and bleak. At a glance, the refugees were of all ages—elderly men…

"Besides, when was the last time I became a Great Demon? It’s been ages!" "That so-called demon clan’s destiny, is it never going to flourish again?" "If you claim it won't, then how did you, in just a mere thousand years, step into the realm of a Great Demon?" As the saying goes, old ginger is spicier than young ginger. Although the much older Void Emperor might not be significantly stronger than the Flood Dragon Emperor, his verbal skills were undoubtedly superior. Every time the Flood Dragon…
