Volume 1, Chapter 34: I Escort Princess Jia Back

"Where have you been? Why did you leave without telling me? Your phone was off, and I thought something had happened to you!" Hearing her husband's voice, Aunt Yin Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

As the first to arrive, Zhang Tian knew nothing about this place, so he headed toward the door in the center.

"Fine, I'll go with you!" It was the first time Cen Pei had seen that look in Diao Jun's eyes, so she leaped onto her horse as well.

"Zige, I am here. Do you dare to fight me?" Chen Zui’s powerful footsteps shook the earth as he shouted, walking fearlessly toward the center of the undead formation.

This feeling of entrusting one's life to another was one of absolute trust and happiness; this is what it means to be in love.

Jiang Feng chuckled. To be enemies? He didn't care. After all, the Liu Pianran of that other space-time was not the same person as the one in this one.

Ye Xiu wanted to find the reason, but unfortunately, after pondering for a long time, he still could not come up with one.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Aipar bending down to collect tears from the ground, Jia Zhengjin asked in confusion.

It was a massive circular building covering over a hundred acres, constructed entirely of giant stones—magnificent and grand.

The door was open, but it was shrouded in a curtain of light, making it impossible to see what lay inside. Zhang Tian reached through the light and felt a gentle breeze on his hand, along with a faint warmth, as if bathed in sunlight.

Lost in thought, Ning Xuanyuan heard Zhu Li’s voice echoing in her ears: "I am teaching you out of kindness, focusing only on the work. Do not assume I am a good person; helping you is for the sake of my Huaji brand. Besides, I will not easily concede regarding Mingxi; I will compete with you fairly."

As soon as Chen Jie finished speaking and stood up to head to the restroom to ease the tension, she ran into Ning Xuanyuan and Lin Menghan.

Wang Quan nodded, guessing that Zhu'er had left these three days just as in the original story. Perhaps she was busy practicing her Thousand-Spider Poison Hand? Was that why she couldn't come?

She knew her father’s temper—explosive, yet reasonable. She silently followed him and helped him to the bedroom to rest. Her mother-in-law followed as well, sitting by the bed, seemingly waiting for his anger to subside before speaking. Without this, his rage would only grow; in his fury, he might even set the house on fire.

On the surface, Odin did not look particularly tall, and his white hair made it easy for people to mistake him for an old man who could be knocked down with a single punch.

In the twelfth lunar month of the previous year, Chancellor Cui Yin had devised a plan. Using Li Zhen’s unique identity, he successfully sowed discord between the Shence commander Liu Jishu and the Xuanwu Army military governor Zhu Quanzhong, winning the latter's support.

"Shut your mouth! Don't think that just because you ascended as a mortal, you're a cut above me. Let me tell you the truth: if you don't change her romantic fate, we can no longer be friends. We are finished!" Bai Yi glared at the red-faced, infuriated Jin Heng, speaking through gritted teeth.

Even with all her restraint, Xia Wan’s voice couldn't help but rise. She really couldn't bring herself to be kind to the man before her, but she couldn't beat him either. Besides enduring, what else could she do?

"General Sha, that fellow Fu Xi now has only one thought in his mind: to follow the Princess Consort of King Jing who is by the King's side. If you want to find his whereabouts, just track the Princess Consort," Qing Li said, seeing Fu Xi’s hesitation and kindly offering this advice to Sha Ling.

Originally, he wanted to throw this bizarre thing out the window, but since it was a high-rise building and even though it was late and no one was outside, one still had to take precautions, right?

Gao Yao knew her current physical condition well. She knew she had to save herself; if this continued, she might develop a fever and trigger pneumonia.

No one yet knew what the Ghost House was planning, but they did know that if the Ghost House was collecting this kind of energy, they must have some specific purpose in mind.

It was a two-bedroom apartment, which looked like it had been recently purchased and had never been lived in.

The four hundred new recruits from Jianzhou were all incorporated into the First Battalion of the merchant guard, bringing the battalion to its full strength of eight hundred. The recruits had no time for specialized training, so they had to train through combat.

"Alright, I'll give you a bonus later!" Li Xiang grinned and patted Xiao Shengmin on the shoulder. Regardless of anything else, he was truly moved that those young masters from the capital had such intentions.

He knew Meng Ankai had tracked him down, yet he still held a sliver of hope, believing that the matter was so secretive that it was impossible for Meng Ankai to know.

Chen Jingping was not the type to give up easily. She had to think of a way to celebrate without being too excessive, and it was best to finish it today so as not to exhaust Song Yao too much. She also had to be careful with what Song Yao ate; with the exams only a few days away, she couldn't afford for her to get a stomach upset and affect her preparation.

"Don't worry, don't worry. If you want to eat, order your own. This plate is ours; don't grab it." Seeing Wang Qiang’s hand reaching over again, Zhao Lihong quickly moved the plate toward her.
