Volume 1, Chapter 61: Ye Chen, Elder Fengqing Requests Your Presence
Her cheek turned slightly, and her dark eyes appeared completely vacant, evidently unable to see anything anymore. Furthermore, her lips had not moved while she was speaking just moments before.
Having risen early and failed to get a good night's sleep the previous evening, Ximen Jinlian felt somewhat drowsy after breakfast and immediately returned to her room to sleep. She needed to conserve her energy, as she still had to inspect some goods in the afternoon.
After listening to my silence for a long time, Old Xing shook his head somewhat helplessly, remarking that the world was truly full of wonders. However, I could see that he looked rather troubled. Not only Old Xing, but Tieying beside him also wore a difficult expression. Thinking I had gotten into trouble again, I asked them if something had happened.
"Breaking news: a fire broke out in a villa at the North District Fishery Bay in Northern City. The entire North District Fire Detachment was dispatched, and it took forty minutes from the discovery of the fire to its complete extinguishment."
Xiaoyaozi nodded to the Law Enforcement Elder, then turned his gaze toward the blue glowing circle returning to the ghostly path. After giving himself a mental boost, he reached his hand into the rippling space within the circle.
My husband traveled quite frequently, which meant L was basically the one keeping me company through my pregnancy. Later, we also called upon another good friend of hers, G—the very person who still holds those supernatural photos and videos. Because I had changed my phones back then, I gave my old one to her, and I specifically instructed her not to lose my photos.
Inside the wooden cabin amidst the drifting clouds and solitary cranes, I was practicing dual cultivation with Li Baobao, and unexpectedly showed faint signs of breaking through the Three-Separation Stage. My primordial essence surged toward my Dantian like a mad torrent.
He tilted his head slightly. Following his gaze, I saw a ghost bound tightly to a tree by a rope glowing with golden light, unable to move at all.
Meanwhile, led by Ao Lin, Lingfeng arrived before the secret chamber beneath the Dragon God Temple.
"B-Big Brother, I was wrong! I won't dare do it again, please spare me!" The gun in his hand had long since been confiscated. Awang now felt an unprecedented wave of fear, especially under the chill of Ye Feng's murderous gaze, which pierced straight to his marrow.
Her husband, however, looked furious as he struggled and hurled curses continuously, though it was impossible to make out what he was shouting.
No one wished to pull the tiger's whiskers under such circumstances, so the newly crowned Emperor of Canglan cut the morning court session short in a flurry for the very first time.
Angel sighed softly and recounted everything she knew. Even now, she still harbored a surreal sense of desolation.
Zhou Xuan glared at him and shuffled into the room in his slippers. Since Ye Zhiyuan was back, he couldn't be bothered to entertain him.
Huaxida frowned and flicked his sleeve, suppressing the terrifying, earth-shattering force of the dreadful sonic waves and shielding the assembled guests.
Inside the room, Dugu Lanruo sat in the central position. To her left was Lady Xiao, wife of Zhangsun Wuji, followed by the wife of Pei Shiqing. To her right sat the three Liu sisters.
After all, Xue Zhiqing was a core figure whom the Nangong clan had recently bestowed with the title of "Successor" at Zunwu Fortress, and he was destined to be a future master among the "Eight Gates of the Imperial Path." Naturally, he deserved the protection of Zunwu Fortress.
Moreover, Lingxi was sensible and knew his boundaries; the friends he associated with were not spoiled brats from high-society circles, which gave Lingmo peace of mind.
Following the declaration of war—swearing irreconcilable enmity and a fight to the death—a bloody struggle inevitably ensued. Both hostile parties threw themselves into the fierce battle with all their might, showing not a shred of mercy toward their enemies. The hall instantly transformed from a scene of former opulence into a hellish Shura battlefield.
"Sixth Stage?" Bingqing chuckled softly, yet the power radiating from her entire body made the five of them widen their eyes in astonishment.
"Stop talking, please don't talk anymore. I'm begging you to stop..." There had been a time when Lu Xi wished more than once that the man from that night had been Qin Yinjian. But when Qin Yinjian told her himself that the man that night was indeed him, she found herself unwilling to believe it.
Zhong Kui walked right over with his plate and sat cross-legged on the ground. Gazing at the delicacies before him, he took a deep breath in admiration.
With a bone-chilling roar, the Frost Prison Palm and the Soul-Devouring Palm slammed fiercely toward the Spirit General. An intense wave of searing heat and freezing cold assaulted the Spirit General simultaneously. Startled, the Spirit General whipped around, its entire body erupting with rich, baleful aura as it met Zhang Han-tie head-on.
However, He Jiuzhou was different. He was merely a Saint-level spiritual master, as well as the team leader for this interstellar competition. If Devis didn't look for He Jiuzhou, who else could he look for?
Since he had put it so bluntly, Qin Yueoran saw no need to continue feigning ignorance or play along in circles. It was better to let him state his stance; once the issue was resolved, she could return home sooner.
Seeing that Mujin had no particular reaction, Wanwan knew he had no intention of taking her along. Immediately, her lips drooped, and tears welled up in her eyes—a posture that strongly suggested she was on the verge of crying her heart out.
Glory and disgrace were shared by all; once the royal family of the Purple Moon Kingdom collapsed, the Qing Kingdom, which had long sought to swallow up the Purple Moon Kingdom, would undoubtedly make its move, and the Mu family would no longer be able to exist securely beneath the shelter of the Purple Moon Kingdom.
Seeing this, the others were well aware of their hostile, arch-rival relationship. Yet, some still harbored suspicions regarding Wanwan's uncomposed state.
The Soul Combat Badge served as the symbol of one's rank in the Grand Soul Arena, and it was universally accepted across all major cities throughout the entire continent.
The new medicine administered to Gu Qisheng today had excellent effects, but it required time for his body to adapt, which was why the acupuncture treatment lasted longer than usual.
Chen Huajiang smiled, knowing that Black Hu had encountered the exact same issue. For a period of time, he had stopped using his ten-thousand-strike lighter to show off, unsure whether he had lost it or simply left it at home for safekeeping.
He didn't dare look back at all. In fact, the elders had once warned him that looking back would allow those things to hook your soul. Deep in this desolate wilderness, the man was terrified. Although Zhang Fan had promised to guarantee his safety, he didn't feel confident in his heart at all.
Over these five hundred years, drowning in daily intoxication and living in a stupor, was it entirely because he longed for Hall Master Ren in vain, or was there also a reason of mourning the death of Ah Huan?
Having heard all this from Nanny Du, Qin Dianxi could not help but hold this Nanny Lan in even higher regard.
At first, she felt a bit shy, but soon she was raising her glass and clinking it heartily with everyone.
Lingfeng spat out a mouthful of saliva bitterly: "Pui... You just wait!" With that, he also placed the Yujin Divine Liquid into his hand.
Because there were still sightseeing plans for the afternoon, lunch did not last long, and the alcohol served was merely tasted to add to the festive mood.
Especially the physically weaker Golden-Haired Chicken, which simply couldn't hold on any longer. Standing on Shangguan's shoulder, it pulled the green bronze basin over its head like a helmet, leaving only its two golden claws exposed.
