Volume One, Chapter 32: Rescuing Those Trapped

Su Jinxia was just returning with a basin of water when she heard this. She quickly set the basin down, reached out to touch Zhao Yue’s forehead, and then touched her own.

"You have a fever right now; your body's immune system is fighting off a virus."

Zhao Yue was a bit bewildered. He heard the words, but they were difficult to comprehend. "What is a system?"

Su Jinxia quickly changed her phrasing to explain, "It’s just a way of speaking. You can think of it as your body fighting off bacteria, which is why you have such a high fever."

How did she let a phrase from back there slip out? She must remember not to make such a mistake again.

Zhao Yue replied, "So that’s how it is. No wonder my mouth feels so dry."

Sun Hu asked, "Could Old Zhao be..."

The class heartthrob, who had been enjoying bullying Ruan Meng, now looked as if he had choked while drinking water and been shoved into a bucket—his face was incredibly ugly.

Seeing Jun Wuji’s action, a flicker of surprise crossed Chu Xiangsi’s eyes. She suddenly became curious about what exactly was inside the imperial meal covered before her.

Even though Ling Xiao could use phantom clones to evade his attacks, his divine essence still existed within those phantoms.

In the empty stairwell, Ruan Meng felt a strange palpitation in her heart. She even wanted to reach out and support the Crown Prince.

Meanwhile, Jun Wuji seemed to have completely lost his reason, swinging his sword frantically. Wherever his figure passed, it stirred up a tragic, dark mist.

Chu Xiangsi suddenly had the sensation of being summoned for a night of royal favor. Her eyelid twitched as she took deep breaths, then picked up a cloth and walked over slowly.

Naturally, that family of vile people had to be retaliated against, but wasting one’s finite life on settling scores with animals was simply too wasteful.

Nanny Hu understood. She was secretly annoyed at herself for not being thorough; if not for the consideration of Concubine Zou’s status, she would have loved to step forward and give her a few lashes.

"We are going to be husband and wife from now on, so why bother with all these thanks?" Xiao Zhe smiled slightly.

Leaving a child in a place without protection was unsafe. He needed at least five—no, ten bodyguards. When the time came, he would carefully select them for him.

Now, every gesture of hers carried a natural charm. She didn't need to deliberately seduce anyone; a simple, delicate smile or a glance was enough to make hearts flutter.

It had to be said that this training platform was truly a remarkable treasure. A method like time acceleration was nothing short of heaven-defying.

"This disciple does not know. At the time, I was very afraid... so... so I hid far away," Ye Fei said pitifully.

After returning to the country for several years, this Khutulu Jeri-mishi still hadn't been married off. Although the Joseon kingdom had been destroyed, the princess’s marriage was a reality. Who would dare propose to marry such a princess, fearing that their own family might be annihilated as well?

After returning to the dormitory, Chu Wangshu called Yang Yongbing, told him what had just happened, and set a time to help him refine another batch of essence blood pills.

Under the strange looks of everyone around, Gu Feng used a bit of strength and lifted him up with one hand.

This one was an imperial corpse, containing dragon energy; it was a rare and powerful kingly corpse-demon, far beyond what an ordinary corpse-demon could compare to.

Subconsciously, she couldn't help but lean against Li Chengjie, who was already by her side. Seeking security and avoiding harm, Li Chengjie provided her with a sense of safety, and he carried that scent that made her feel at ease.

As the sword hummed, a beam of light flew out diagonally like lightning or a rainbow across the sky, sharply yet calmly pointing at Yan Tengchong’s blood-red saber.

One could imagine the depth of the Qin King’s resentment. This was the reason Ziying didn't dare to speak up to dissuade him; to advise the Qin King on this matter would not only be ineffective but might also drag himself into the fray.

It stood to reason that these people had been bullied by the disciples of the Yin and Mo families, but because their skills were inferior, they could only swallow their anger. Now that there was hope for revenge, they immediately became high-spirited and eager, wishing they could master these martial arts immediately.

Luo Wanmei briefly outlined tomorrow’s itinerary, and the group returned to their rooms. Having traveled by plane, everyone was exhausted; only after resting well could they better participate in tomorrow’s jade exhibition.

But she couldn't run more than a few steps before she had to stop, for ahead of her lay a high cliff with no other path to take.

"What an idiot," Shangguan Ling muttered expressionlessly, watching the back of Lin Yifeng as he walked away.

After a long while, they slowly regained their vision, but everything remained a blur of white. Tears streamed from the corners of their eyes, and their eyelids were swollen high.

"Even so... it’s better than being at the Bai family," Wang Xuan said thoughtfully, looking quite worried.

This was the last thought in Ke Qingyun’s mind before he fell into a complete coma, his consciousness sinking into darkness.

Now, his pills for recovering profound energy were nearly depleted, and he was venturing deeper into the Ancestral Dragon Mountains. He had to plan for himself.

***

Although Han Fei’s strength was not weak and he had killed innate martial artists, it was asking too much of him to deal with a master-realm expert.

Facing Xiang Lang, Huang Shen still fulfilled his duties as a subordinate. China was very particular about such things, and having finally seized the opportunity, Huang Shen did not want to leave a bad impression on others. Today, Frederick III had summoned him for important matters, primarily concerning the Roman, Chiesa, who had appeared at the banquet.

I found Mengmeng’s number and was about to dial when the ground suddenly shook, as if an earthquake had occurred. At that moment, the daylight became blindingly bright.

Zhang Fan felt a bit agitated. He couldn't calm himself down at all. How was he supposed to discover this phenomenon? The heavy rain was so intense; crises must be emerging elsewhere.

Ninth Uncle rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that at his age, he couldn't even memorize medicinal herbs, let alone refine pills.

"Lin Yuan, where did Lin Jingshen go? Do you really not know?" I ignored Lin Yuan’s words and stared directly into his eyes.

Mi Chuyan had roughly understood the property prices here. A rough estimate suggested that buying this apartment outright, excluding renovations, would reach eight figures—a staggering, expensive sum.

As soon as Xiao Hanyu saw the waist token, he understood a third of the situation. Looking again at the food box that looked somewhat like one from his own estate, he suddenly realized that the items handled by Lv Qiao had likely been poisoned.

"I’m giving you a chance to reflect now. Come find me when you’ve figured out where you went wrong." Having said that, I stepped out of his embrace and walked out of the office, calling out to Xiao Yang, and left the construction site with him.

"Then why did you put this on my finger!" Mi Chuyan raised her left hand, wiggling the ring finger trapped by the band, and demanded with puffed-out cheeks.

Holding both hands together, she still couldn't seem to get a grip. When her fingertips slid across the screen, she kept hitting the wrong keys out of nervousness, causing the call to remain undialed for a long time.

How could this girl speak without using her brain? Compared to the wit of Lu'er and Xian'er, this Ping'er was simply lacking in intelligence! Thinking of this, Xiao Xingluo missed Xian'er and Lu'er once more.

After a round of rectification, these people had restrained themselves quite a bit, but they still left society feeling panicked.

After years of struggling and climbing, she had seen too many people suffer because of drugs, but she never expected that this would happen to her.
