Chapter 29
The anticipation in his eyes deepened, leaving Yan Lixuan unable to bear the thought of refusing; he merely cast a faint, indifferent glance toward Li Wuxin.
Song Yiyi looked on with curiosity. What was such a massive object, and what exactly was Xiahou Ce playing at?
Ah Song was slightly startled by what he heard. Chen Xing’s words seemed to touch upon some hidden secret within him, causing his expression to stiffen for a fleeting moment.
"In that case, if you don't need me, I will leave immediately. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Chen Xing turned to leave.
Was it not a regular spirit that took her away? Did it select a student from the Spirit Academy? It seems I am in for another lecture from that fellow, Greyvas.
Finally, they had won, and in those months of being together day and night, Jin Xicheng had gradually come to occupy every corner of her heart.
"Pass on my decree: whoever brings me the head of the King of Lin-yi shall be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold and promoted three ranks!" Li Yuan promised calmly.
Children around ten years old are at the age where they love to act spoiled in front of their parents. Yet, at this age, the Xiao siblings had already endured far more than any of their peers.
"Your Highness, in half a day's time, we will reach Feng City!" Long Xiu, sitting on the driver's bench of the carriage, turned back to inform Feng Qiye and Leng Yue inside.
"A-Yu, why are you eating plain steamed buns? Come, have a meat pie! Your mother put a full ounce of meat in it!" Father Jiang did not mention the debt; instead, he pushed the plate of meat pies toward Jiang Zhiyu.
However, before the words were fully spoken, Qin Silu and Lu Si suddenly began to swell, and in the next instant, two eighth-realm great demons burst forth from their bodies.
Wang Dachun, that guy, probably saw that I didn't chase him away this time, so he didn't say a word and just followed me the whole way.
To contend with the people for profit, to use the people's money, and to impose heavy taxes—that is the path of a dynasty's end, the path to self-destruction.
Jiang Jiu pondered as she pushed open the courtyard gate. With a "creak," the dust accumulated on top rained down, covering her head.
She could no longer find a better word to describe him, so she threw back the quilt covering his chest, making a show of wanting to hit him.
Although Bai Su was a demon with intelligence close to that of a human, the instinct to communicate with animals remained.
"Actually, from the first day you helped me solve problems, I was on guard against you. The assistant by your side is someone I arranged. This document contains a detailed record of your abnormal behavior."
For Jiang Ning, it was merely a small favor. After all, she was the one who introduced Wang Qiuju, and if anything happened to her, her family would be worried.
The two of them argued back and forth, but Wang Zitong was very concerned about his comfort and refused to yield even a single step.
Our Master Yuan is such a traditional person. He upholds the teachings of Confucius: "If you repay evil with kindness, then how will you repay kindness?"
Helpless, she could only look at the tearful Jing Xiaotian with sympathy, not knowing what else she could do, for Su Quanquan was her friend as well.
Let it be a long, steady flow. Happiness is a lifelong endeavor. Su Junhua decided to set Su Lianxiang’s mind at ease by picking an auspicious date to take her as his wife.
"You are right, but you cannot leave now." Zhao Guangdong nodded in agreement, though he did not forget to add a sarcastic remark.
Although she hadn't been in the gang for very long, I had ultimately come to regard her as our good friend.
His heart grew even more anxious. His underwater breathing potion was about to run out; if he didn't leave the bottom of the lake soon, he would surely die.
"Actually, it's quite simple. You just need to have the hidden clans and the five great families come forward to establish it. It would be legitimate and reasonable, and every year we would hold an educational license. Then, those who contribute money and effort would form a board of directors. How about we join forces to run a school? I’ve actually had this idea for a long time," Liu Yi said, appearing quite excited.
At this moment, Oriental Crane sat in the command room, his expression seemingly calm, though he was extremely anxious inside. He was waiting for the results of the operations by the two groups in Peng City and Xiangshui; that was undoubtedly the most important location for the Outer Sect.
Come to think of it, it would be reasonable for him to call me Brother Peach Blossom. After all, I am several years older than him. He looks at most sixteen or seventeen, while I am already twenty-four. I am at least six or seven years his senior, so I am certainly entitled to be called "brother."
Since an extraterrestrial cultivator accidentally descended to Earth within the Loulan Secret Realm, it is highly likely that after him, or at some point in the future, other cultivators will descend again. If that happens, what will become of Earth?
The chief examiner led everyone to a low mountain peak and said, "This is where those below three stars live. Go." Then, he led them to a taller mountain peak, where the sound of the wind was constant, and a faint trace of spiritual energy could be felt.
Several young, strong men were the first to step forward, attempting to force open the multi-ton alloy door, but it was in vain; the door did not budge. They took wrenches and hammers from the side and struck it frantically, but after a cacophony of clanging, it was as useless as before.
"Shut up!" With a roar of anger, Wang Kunmiao pierced through his chest with one palm, firmly grabbing the struggling dragon soul within his body, and tore it out to absorb it. Only then did a hint of color return to his pale face.
Afterward, he strode toward the door. Having heard the boss's answer and combined it with the reports from his subordinates a few days prior, he had already guessed the young man's identity. Putting aside the man's family, his own status alone was not something he could easily provoke.
Sighing softly, Yun Feng planted his feet on the ground. Sword energy gathered in his palm, and he gripped his soul weapon tightly.
"Fei Liangyan, can you protect Shi Yi?" Yang Linxiao swallowed a gulp of beer and said with difficulty.
"The leader of the Swamp Star Rebel Alliance, Water Walker, requests to speak." Shuang Yanhao announced the speaker's name and made a gesture of invitation. The signal light turned green, and the hovercar carrying Water Walker automatically flew to the center of the venue, arriving in front of the podium.
"Mother, stop crying. It’s all my fault. Don't worry, I will definitely make sure this family lives a good life," Chen Ning said, his heart aching.
In less than three days, ten direct descendants of the Wei family had been assassinated! Moreover, these ten were all underage descendants, and two of them were children with exceptional talent—the future pillars of the Wei family! What made the head of the Wei family roar in fury was that they were all dead!
Although the suppressive force on Huanjun Peak no longer posed a restraint on Cui Feng's physical body, he decided to proceed cautiously along the flat path to guard against any unforeseen circumstances.
