Chapter Thirty-Six

When everyone finally woke up, they discovered that they had already returned to the castle. There was no denying that Skyfeather Flowing Cloud’s speed was terrifying. Not only had everyone been able to rest, they had also saved the time it would have taken to return. Their bodies and minds alike felt wonderfully refreshed.

Li Xue hurriedly picked up the box. Without even daring to look at Mo Ke, she covered her face with a pillow and collapsed onto the bed.

Before attending the banquet, most of the young heiresses and socialites present had been warned by their families which people they must not offend. Lin Bixiao was confident that she was one of them.

Zejin still wore no expression. “May I act alone?”

His question sounded both like an inquiry and a request.

At these words, Mo Ke, who was perched on the tree trunk, suddenly sprang upward and climbed another two or three meters.

“Sword intent!” Meng Gaolie stared at Nangong Qian in horror. Although he had previously heard that Meng Gaolie had been wounded by a dazzling flash of sword light, he had never connected the matter with sword intent.

At the time, he had been holding a meeting in the conference room. Every shareholder present wore a look of astonishment—could Bi Qianmo actually smile?

Now, if Su Yi took this token to him, it would presumably not be difficult to ask him for protection.

The silver stars suspended above Xingchen’s head constantly scattered brilliant divine radiance, which fell upon Xingchen’s body.

“Who could it be?” Su Yi thought for a long while but still could not figure it out. It was only after he rushed north that he realized it was Yang Dingtian’s aura.

“Elder Mo, there is no need for falsehoods before an honest man. You should know why we have come. Tell us—how do you intend to explain yourself?” Lin Xiyue had always been straightforward, and her words were just as direct. Without wasting a moment, she went straight to the point.

“Very well, Boss Li. Take care of your business. When you have time, the two of us can spar again.” Nangong Moyun returned the salute.

Especially when he thought of the countless inheritances in the Land of Exile that he had yet to obtain, and the fact that the divine temple’s level had not even been raised, he was overcome with frustration.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the window. A moment later, a familiar face appeared in the opening.

“…Is the world I live in really this dangerous?” Sun Yan frowned at once, finding it utterly unbelievable.

“You should sleep for a while first.” Looking at Swat’s crazed expression, Sun Yan spoke softly. He then reached out and pressed a finger to the back of Swat’s neck, immediately knocking him unconscious.

Xiao Fei had no idea what the others thought of him, and he did not care. He merely raised his head and gazed calmly at Wei Jie.

The battle spear pierced through his skull in an instant. Its tremendous force sent his entire body flying backward. With a sharp thud, it was pinned to an ancient tree. The horrifying impact made the three- or four-person-wide tree tremble violently, while its half-green, half-yellow leaves rained down in unison.

“Catch some game? Go hunting?” Ruixue leaped high into the air, clearly eager to accept Yang Fan’s suggestion.

This monkey belonged to the Shencheng Zoo. A malignant tumor had grown in its brain, and it was clearly beyond saving. Yan Xinyue had obtained it and asked Chen Ling to treat the dead monkey as though it were still alive.

“At that time, the Lu family was merely a respectable household, utterly ordinary. Though my heart was proud, in a place teeming with powerful clans and aristocrats, I was ultimately unwelcome. But I have always been proud by nature. The more others suppressed me, the stronger I became.”

Empress Lu closed her eyes and remained silent for a long while.

The question of who would become the Crown Princess had remained a mystery for years. Zongzheng Yue had turned it into a strategy. His continued refusal to marry all these years was itself a form of political maneuvering—using his marriage to make the officials willingly place themselves at his disposal.

When the young woman stepped onto the stage, the butterflies in every other part of the room flew toward her in unison. They formed a tight circle around her, half a meter from her body, making her face impossible to see.

The Great Sun Furnace manifested and rapidly refined the pills. His injuries immediately began to recover dramatically, and much of his strength returned at once.

Assistant Long paused for more than ten seconds, silently lifted his teacup, swallowed six pills, and set the cup down. The room fell utterly silent as everyone continued to wait and watch.

After learning that something had happened to the two men, Su Hao had personally arranged these doctors, replacing the original team that had first taken charge of them. In theory, there should have been no problems. Yet they had clearly received word only the previous evening that Zhou Chi was showing signs of improvement. How had his condition taken such a sudden turn for the worse after only one day?

“Oh…” Yu Dayong murmured softly. “You should give us your opinion. It does not matter if you are wrong. The purpose of discussing matters on paper is to discover problems and correct them in time.”

“Brother Chen, are you all right?” As soon as An Yan entered the detention center, she rushed to Jing Yuchen. She clasped both hands around his arm, and the worry filling her eyes was unmistakable.

After that, Fatty continuously took things out of his spatial ring. He even produced quite a few supreme-grade spirit stones, and only then was Dugu Hong barely satisfied enough to let him leave. In the end, the fellow fled with his tail between his legs. He never wanted to see Dugu Hong again. That man was simply terrifying.

Ye Qiu’er had to admit that she had indeed acted recklessly. She had urged Yan Xun to write to Mo Yunshu, which was practically the same as telling Mo Yunshu that they cared deeply about Feng Ge. Mo Yunshu would certainly respond by redoubling his efforts.

When Premier League club Manchester United bought players, the transfer fees were always higher than market value. When Portugal’s Benfica sold players, the asking prices were invariably inflated, earning the club its notorious reputation as a “black shop.”

If even the head of a town treated Shaoli with such courtesy, then naturally the officials serving beneath him were equally respectful.

With so many alcohol blocks gathered together, their combined power was enormous the instant they were lit. The flames leaped half a meter into the air.

“Hmph… Which person here has not shared a life-and-death friendship with Old Master Luo? And yet today, you have all become accomplices in the plot to seize the Luo family’s property. What a joke. No wonder Old Master Luo left behind such a will. Otherwise, sooner or later, the Luo family would have been squandered into ruin.”
