Chapter 39: Sudden Enlightenment!

Lu Qingfei landed steadily.

The Changyi Sword shook off its water stains in a spot hidden from the camera, then obediently returned to its sheath.

[The meaning of sword riding is: if you can ride it, you're a queen; if you can't, you'll just get splashed.]

[Absurd and even more absurd, truly outrageous.]

[Stunned...]

Ge Yueying ignored Zhang Shaoniu’s confusion, set aside her tobacco pipe, and rose to return to the inner room. Just as she was about to push the door open, Ge Yueying suddenly turned back and left a remark.

“We live on Woodlong Street, but I’d be happy to make a trip into the city,” Old Mulden said in a deep voice.

Once the connection was established, Alina opened the starship and walked directly toward the command room. Yu Hao hurried after her, crossing the bridge. When they reached the starship’s hatch, Yu Hao suddenly froze.

From the time in ninja school, he had shown extraordinary talent. As a commoner, he could compete with Kakashi Hatake, who was born into a prestigious family and whose father was a shadow-level powerhouse.

“The aura you give off is simply terrifying,” Bai Feng couldn’t help but remark.

The chief bodyguard, almost ingratiating, took out a purple-gold token and handed it to Rou Qingshui, as if fearing she might not accept it.

After all, their grudge with the human race was one of irreconcilable enmity. Too many of their kin had perished at the hands of humans. Even the crown prince and their ancestral land had suffered calamities, leaving no room for reconciliation.

Impatiently waving his hand, Old Du prepared to walk inside. On any ordinary day, these two elders would have already started quarreling—either hurling insults or getting into a fight.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in a burst of happiness and excitement, Jin Xuejun’s smile grew even brighter. His face, beneath pink hair, was adorned with moist eyes sparkling with light.

As long as one is happy, even eating garlic in an elegant setting is possible. Strangely, it brings to mind the saying about coffee and garlic.

Since it was the Hongmen who targeted him, if he returned, wouldn’t he be walking straight into a trap?

Liu Muran and Liu He were secretly pleased, but they also understood the principle of strength above all. Now, at last, they experienced it firsthand.

Wu Yaoyao didn’t reply further. Instead, her gaze turned elsewhere—through layers of clouds, she fixed her eyes on Mo Fan. At that moment, Mo Fan was squatting beneath a tree, lost in thought.

“Brother Gu’s identity must not be revealed for now; just keep quiet,” Yan Chen said with a low, cold laugh. To prevent the evil soul from using Gu Xinghun’s identity as leverage, Yan Chen had no choice but to act this way.

Long Teng made no move at all. How could he suddenly have sword energy erupt beside Wu Qiang and injure him?

“I say, shouldn’t we see about Li Yuan first? It looks like... he might still be salvageable,” Immortal Wang protested weakly on my behalf.

Li Quande had originally thought Xue Ming was merely putting on an act, that his strength was negligible. Besides, as a eunuch, Li Quande was hardly robust. Though Xue Ming acted without intent, how could Li Quande possess the casual strength of a true master? Yet he endured the force of that greeting.

Never mind how well those three could survive; the simple fact that they had not a single coin between them was enough to spell misery if lost. Should Cao Xiaoxiong, in a moment of excitement, embrace the sentiment “better I betray the world than the world betray me” and commit murder, everyone would be doomed.

Wuhenzi and Fengchen looked at each other in astonishment, each seeing the shock reflected in the other’s eyes.

Ning Yue, believing this person to be upright and kind, recounted everything from that day without omitting a single detail.

Fortunately, at that moment, the figure of Huang Quan flipped backward, dodging the thorny vines and landing safely.

Duan Nantian feigned confusion as he gazed at the Imperial Uncle of Rong, stammering, “This old servant does not understand what the Imperial Uncle means...” Yet a sly glimmer flickered in his eyes.
