Volume One, Chapter 49: I’m Afraid My Husband Will Find Out

"Yes! I'll go call someone right away!" The security supervisor wiped the sweat from his forehead, took off his security cap, loosened his tie, and turned to walk out.

He desperately wanted to leave, but having just escaped from the jaws of death, his body was extremely weak and his wounds had yet to heal. In particular, his right leg had been savagely slashed by the enemy, leaving a deep gash that severely hindered his movement and made long-distance travel quite impossible.

On this very morning, Su Luoman, who had just led the Su family army to brilliantly capture Pengcheng, suddenly felt a wave of palpitations. Usually composed and steady, she inexplicably found herself overcome with panic.

This wasn't because he was being aggressive, but rather because he felt uneasy at heart. Who knew if the four-armed giant ape had any allies? If he let it go and it rallied companions to return and seek revenge, the trouble and risks would be far too great, so he could not afford to gamble.

Oh! So Dad did have a way, it was just that Dad had been coming home very late lately, which was why Tori hadn't been able to consult his opinion.

Just now, that elderly man with the wooden staff had wanted to make him enter this place. One could imagine that there must be some powerful restriction here capable of subduing him.

On second thought, when using ordinary electric shocks previously, there had more or less been a similar sensation.

Jin Qing pondered that she hadn't been to Qinghe Hall for several days. As the weather grew increasingly cold, she wondered how Jiang Chen and Ding Linhe were doing with their medicinal herb business, so she walked in the direction of Qinghe Hall.

Seeing Yan Qing fall into the water, Su Zige's eyes turned red with killing intent, and she held nothing back. Snatching the long sword from her opponent's hand with a reverse grip, she used her body as an axis to draw a circle on the spot. With just that single sword strike, everyone had collapsed to the ground.

Behind them, densely packed figures of the Xiongnu had emerged from atop the wall, instantly seizing the abandoned ramparts. More and more figures poured in, and the scene before their eyes seemed to suggest that the Xiongnu's sneak attack had truly succeeded, but could that really be the case?

"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. How could I possibly have anything to do with him? His strength is not even a fraction of mine. If I hadn't been sealed... Wait, why are you asking so much? Hurry up and get out!" Another dragon spirit seemed to realize it had said something wrong.

Following that, two people died, being eaten down to bare white bones alive by the ghostly entities in an extremely gruesome manner.

"Earth-shrinking steps?" Tang Ying'er lowered the binoculars in her hand and looked at Yang Qi in shock, awaiting his response. She had seen Yang Qi execute this movement technique countless times before, but for some reason, she felt that the man in white seemed somewhat inauthentic.

Two people let out miserable wails, instantly dissolving into a pool of flesh and blood before being directly devoured.

It felt as though some stranger had broken into your living room, peed and shat on the floor, and then swaggered away.

"..." Nan Muqian immediately protected his precious head, conceding defeat—wouldn't admitting loss suffice?

However, the number of times Xiao Xiao and Han Ge had met could be counted on one's fingers, and standing before him now, she still felt somewhat nervous.

Little did they know, this was Lu Chen using supreme divine power to impart to them the method of relying on themselves to fend off ghostly entities.

Upon hearing that the imperial carriage had arrived, the garrison soldiers were so frightened that they hurriedly ran into the camp to notify Lieutenant Ma Cunliang. At that moment, Ma Cunliang was eating in the camp. Hearing a report that someone in the palace had rebelled and that the Emperor had already arrived at the gate of the Left Army camp for refuge under the protection of two eunuchs, he excitedly dropped his rice bowl and dashed out.

However, the path of cultivation cannot rely solely on popping pills. If one's martial arts realm does not advance and one merely takes pills, not only will it fail to elevate one's cultivation, but it is also highly likely to cause a deviation in cultivation or even cause one's body to burst apart directly.

She didn't care much about this attitude. It was said that members of the demon race appeared cold and aloof, but were actually bloodthirsty madmen at their core, and their traits differed from those of the beast race.

The two opened their eyes with a cry of alarm, looking at the disheveled figure pressing down on top of them, whose face was covered in blood, the back of whose clothes had been slashed by a blade leaving a half-foot-long gaping wound of torn flesh. Shrieking in terror, they bolted through the door, slammed the sanctuary shut, and breathed heavily like panting oxen. Shaken to the core, speechless and tongue-tied, they could not utter a single word for a long time.

"How can this be..." Peng Shan felt embarrassed and was about to refuse, but before she could finish her sentence, Ye Qianxun had already forcefully thrust the pill into her hand, turned around, and drifted away.

"If you're trying to scam me for money, I've already said I don't have any money, and my husband doesn't have any money on him either." With that, she coldly hung up the phone.

"You must be Li Shan?" Hearing this voice, everyone on the other side remained indifferent, fixing their gazes on Li Shan. A foundation-building mid-stage cultivator under the age of twenty spoke, his tone carrying a condescending contempt.

At the same time, Feng Xiuzhi felt somewhat uncomfortable in her heart, thinking that if Lin Lizheng hadn't done such things, their relationship with Lin Yuanzhen's family probably would have been much better, and in that case, Lin Yuanzhen would have been more willing to help his younger brother.

That clan leader, who had been sitting cross-legged with eyes closed all along, abruptly opened them, his hawk-like gaze instantly locking onto Ye Qianxun's face.

They were leaving for Jin City today, and Lin Zhaoxing and Lin Shijin's school term was only a couple of days away from starting.

"Does Qingqing want to eat some fruit? Daddy will buy you some fruit," Lin Yuanzhen said while pushing his bicycle.

Dongfang Jing shouted from behind, "I hope you find your true love—" The word "love" was drawn out very long, sounding particularly exaggerated, like a sound effect, echoing in Jiang Jun's mind for a long time.

Yue Shu calmed her emotions, skirted around the poisonous creatures, ran out of this immortal cave, and headed toward another one.

Zhang Hao sat down excitedly, gently snapping off low-grade spirit stones one by one, and discovered three high-grade spirit stones among them.

"Alright, that's enough, you can keep the remaining silver banknotes for your own use," Yang Feng said indifferently, having long since transferred everything in his spatial pouch except for the silver banknotes into his storage ring.

Shen Linglong left an exceptionally good impression on Qin Yan. During this visit, Qin Yan even specifically kept Shen Linglong over for a meal at home.

Huang Jianshu had some understanding of Liu Sanshi's family background. His father, Liu Songyin, was merely a businessman; even though his scale was decent, how could he possibly be compared with Xia Xuanze?

Zhang Hao let out a soft sigh. Merely a grade-four immortal root! Why did he have to emphasize it with the word "merely"? How was he, an assorted-grade immortal root, supposed to live?

The look of astonishment on Liu Yi's face flashed across and vanished, replaced once more by his previous murderous expression as he thought of the gruesome deaths of the gate-guarding soldiers.

Shen Qingdou wanted to say something more, but Shen Linglong had already left, leaving her with no choice but to call her own husband inside.
