Chapter 39

Driven by curiosity, I entered the backyard. Sniffing the air, I felt something was amiss—why was there a scent of medicine?

"Sister Jiayi, you still haven't answered me. Do you really want me to find someone to check if that loser Chen Li passed the auditions for Shining Star?" Ye Ke'er asked again.

"We hold military power, which already makes the monarch wary. If we don't keep a low profile, I fear something terrible will happen," Elder General Ye said with concern.

After leaving the county office, Mo He headed toward Moon-Gazing Mountain under the cover of night. His mind was still racing with thoughts of the approaching sect disciples, yet he had failed to devise a foolproof plan to deal with them.

Having just absorbed the medicinal power of the green plum fruit within his body, he received a telepathic message from Mo He, summoning him specifically to the Moon-Gazing Pavilion at the summit.

"Is it really worth it, to endure so much suffering just for the sake of being apart?" He Xiaozuo had never been able to understand why He Shumo could be so long-suffering. Even now, as he found himself willing to sacrifice everything for the one he loved, just as she had, he still could not comprehend it.

Pickled peppers have little nutritional value, so no one fought her for them. For the first time, Luo Jie felt that Luo Bi was actually quite easy to provide for.

Jiang Rao's box of flour was gone. He looked at the He Spoon; it was much better at scooping flour than the Zhan Spoon.

After saying the name Ye Keke, Xie Nai’s mouth pursed involuntarily. Oh dear, she had said it wrong.

Following the guidance of the Tiger-Mouth Lamp into the nearby forest, the image within the lamp began to flicker. As the pair tracked deeper into the woods, the intervals during which the image vanished grew longer, and each time it reappeared, the deviation in direction from the previous one was completely opposite.

He was in such pain—could he be suffering from some illness? With that thought, Liu Xiaoyan, as if possessed, ran back.

"We don't dare to fire, for fear of accidentally hitting Master Yan and Sally..." Song Song, who was in the lead, whispered.

So much had happened throughout the day, and Fan Xueyi was filled with too many doubts. After washing the dishes, she went upstairs, lay on the narrow bamboo bed, and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

The Heart-Proud Five-Dragon Array was originally a formation reliant on magic staves, but Heart-Proud had enlisted Sky Warriors to assist. As a result, his formation suffered from a conflict between battle energy and magical power, which was its fatal flaw.

They recognized the White-Robed Flowing Light only because of the Ten Thousand Flower Gathering held every ten thousand years; the White family would occasionally come to watch the spectacle.

Bai Ya’s expression froze. She did not know what exactly Yu Feng had discussed with his parents today, but judging by his demeanor, he seemed to have made up his mind.

"In that case, there must be something strange about this stone tablet. It is just a mystery why, having stood here for hundreds of years, no anomalies have ever occurred," Qing Yi moved his feet, circling the tablet as he scrutinized it.

The man in black visibly shuddered. His exposed eyes were filled with deep vigilance, his right hand gripping his sword tightly. It seemed he held great caution toward this man who felt no fear before him.

"What? Did you not hear what I said? Get out..." Nangong Yuhan stared at Tu Baobao with a gloomy expression.

Regardless of what Master Zhang was thinking, Yu Feng nodded and insisted, "Master Zhang guessed correctly; I am indeed running errands and delivering orders for Commander Qi." By directly addressing Qi Shengzhong as "Commander," Yu Feng clearly intended to win Master Zhang's trust.

A road wide enough for six carriages to travel side-by-side without crowding lay directly before them. With the road widened, the area looked spacious, providing a refreshing sense of novelty.

His dear younger brother had pulled off a daring deception, going so far as to violate a gentleman's agreement to pack his fiancée off to the palace. If he were to die so easily, wouldn't that be a terrible pity?

"Then, the Corpse Warlock will be left to you!" Yi Ning said to the somewhat agitated Sherina.

In their midst, a tall man strode forward. His features were deep and refined, and he carried a sharp, imposing aura that made anyone who saw him from afar feel a sense of trepidation.

At that time, the Qing court in the north upheld the Four Wangs as orthodox, while a group of highly individualistic painters emerged in the Jiangnan region. Their styles differed greatly from the imitation of ancient masters championed by the northern court. The Four Monks were the representatives of this movement; they had become monks and often harbored strong nationalistic consciousness. Among them, Shitao and Bada Shanren were descendants of the Ming imperial clan.

Everyone was watching the code being continuously updated on the giant screen. In truth, these clever edits were indeed worth studying, but now was not the time for learning.

Although it displeased Yu Ling to labor for another's benefit, the thought of how much it would disgust Lin Lang made the sacrifice feel less painful.

Wen Yiming smiled and put down his phone, lamenting that Fat Man Jin had found a blessing in disguise. Hu Jianmin must have done this to curry favor with him, but the fact that Jin Dafu dared to take the risk and add his own stake could be considered a sincere pledge of loyalty.

Ningning had not expected the Prince of Lu to bring up this matter, and her eyes grew complex, though the dim light made it difficult to discern.

The army of the City of Light split into two paths. Three-fifths of the forces rushed toward the edge of the Boundary Bridge, while the remaining two-fifths headed toward the direction from which the enemy was approaching.

Although he had long anticipated that Lu Shuangyang would raise the price, he had not expected him to do so deliberately at the very last moment.

The beam of light exploded deep within the bamboo forest, whipping up a wave of energy that blew Zhang Yue, who was far away, completely off his feet. The once-intact bamboo forest now bore a massive, circular crater; viewed from high above, it looked as if a piece had been gouged out.
