Volume 1, Chapter 29: Young Master, Have We Met Before?

"Oh my, have you lost your mind, you silly girl? Why are you using so much water to rinse the pot?"

Liu Jincui, standing nearby, was startled. She quickly snatched the water ladle from her hand and gave her a light slap, scolding her.

Xu Xiu'er looked left and right in a panic, trying her best to avoid Li Chen's gaze, not even knowing where to put her hands.

The young maid beside them pursed her lips and smiled, beckoning to Xu Xiu'er, "Sister Xiu'er, come help me clear the table."

Feeling as if a burden had been lifted, Xu Xiu'er fled to help Yu Qingwan clear the table.

The meal concluded.

"Goodness, they sure can eat! Not even the vegetable broth was left!" Zhao Dashi remarked with a grin while helping to clear the bowls and chopsticks.

"This meal, I'm afraid it won't..."

He had thought he might run into her, but he hadn't expected to encounter her the moment he entered the manor. It was fine, though; it was better to resolve it now, or else the day would come when he would have to face this hurdle regardless.

People of various tribes, upon learning that the troops had arrived from the Eastern Qing Kingdom, were filled with righteous indignation and vied to go out and avenge the grievances of years past. In the end, they were fortunately persuaded by Feng Zhuo, and did not run out to fight on impulse.

If he did not agree, it would not be easy for his sister to leave the Prince Xian Manor. Previously, he did not know that the Emperor would pay attention to these things in secret, but now that the Emperor had made his position clear in a roundabout way, it was simply impossible to rescue his sister.

Qiu Yue picked up his three-hundred-year-old peach and swallowed it in one gulp, only to realize he hadn't even tasted the pit, nor could he discern any flavor. He had truly become like Zhu Bajie swallowing the ginseng fruit.

With this intention, Yun Feng unleashed his true strength. He dodged the right leg kicked by Cheng Bin with a sudden sidestep, then twisted his waist to close in on him.

As a second-generation heir who lived surrounded by flattery, when had Kuang Long ever suffered such humiliation?

"Why are you only just returning?" Lin Mohan rubbed her eyes, looking beautiful and breathtakingly disheveled from sleep.

He didn't know much about the situation here. Although Xiao Yang had told him the mission would be life-threatening, he did not know the specific nature of the danger.

They were all trembling so violently that they dared not even take a deep breath, fearing that the next one to fall would be one of them.

—In other words, Hua Qianse, who had just departed, was already on her way back to the Hundred Flowers Palace.

It hadn't been long since the last warning from the City Lord of Heaven-Forging City, and Jiang Yu did not want to turn his own territory into another giant crater, so he had to find a place far away from Heaven-Forging City for such technological experiments.

The difference was that the members of the Lion Mercenary Group were on high alert, as if preparing for Xiao Feng's revenge.

Kou Feng had just seen the barbarian crawl into the cave, and assuming others were fleeing ahead, he immediately prepared to follow.

The sound of hooves was somewhat abrupt on the street. Seeing the group of men on tall horses carrying blades, pedestrians dodged out of the way.

Yuan Kun spat blood on the spot, screaming like a cannonball as he flew out, smashing directly through a concrete wall; his limbs were flailing as if he were rowing a boat.

Casually averting his eyes, the leader of the thugs downed the wine in his cup in one gulp before standing up to signal the others to leave.

"Why are you here?" Ye Chen asked, looking at Blood Phoenix and the others. At the same time, he shouted internally, and why did that Flame Maiden come too?

Although the Corpse King's body was incredibly powerful, from that moment on, one could only exist in the world as a being that was neither human nor ghost, filled with an endless desire for slaughter. Eventually, one would lose all sanity and become a monster that knew only how to kill.

The one who entered the Ancient City of Taibei was naturally Bing Youling. Ever since the destruction of the Bing family, she had barely been active on the continent, but now, for the second trial of the Ancient City of Taibei, she had finally appeared.

The opposing vampire count expert watched Zhao Wuji lunging toward him, two cold glints flashing in his eyes as he kicked out at Zhao Wuji.

From that day on, Qi Yao moved into Ye Jiujiu's home. He had never imagined that the way parents and siblings interacted could be like this.

In the end, not only did she fail to catch that wretch, but she also offended quite a few people. Even now, the matter left her feeling stifled.

Ye Jiujiu actually didn't know how to address Feng Mojian. To call him by his name seemed a bit impolite, after all, he was several hundred years old.

Fortunately, Dugu Buyu produced a Body-Sculpting Pill, and after Qiu Wanjia, Cui Yongfang, and the others took it, they returned to normal.

"I will not remarry. It was my own choice back then; perhaps this is fate." With a long sigh, Sister Li burst into tears.

The former Emperor had originally ignored the memorials submitted by the officials, but as the matter escalated and two censors actually dashed their heads to death in the Great Hall, the former Emperor had no choice but to think of a solution and issued another imperial decree.

This might actually be true. Qiu Hongxin nodded, but thinking about how she had been so infuriated by Xiong Yu that morning, she wished he would vanish from her sight immediately. Now, if she were to go and ask him to serve as the school doctor, Qiu Hongxin truly couldn't bring herself to do it.

Tonya spoke the truth. On the surface, she feigned calmness, but in reality, her heart was pounding. Big brother, can one really lose weight like this? She had heard of acupuncture for weight loss, but it seemed like most of the time it was just a scam.

Although they didn't know who the potential enemies of the Cheng family were, removing the tumor within the Cheng family at this time was the only way to better deal with the hidden threats.

Mo Li had discovered this place by accident before; it was only when he was fighting someone and got injured that he had sought refuge here and discovered such a celestial paradise.

The cyclops blinked, then reached out and plucked Lin Sangbai, who had been embedded half a meter deep into the plaza, from the ground. Then, wielding his wooden staff, he glared fiercely at the undead that surrounded him, eager to attack yet seemingly held back by something.

In a Tokyo studio, intense filming was underway, and Ryoko Hirosue, dressed in an elegant kimono, was playing her role before the camera.

Therefore, Zhaoxi had also lit a brazier in the room. Being very close to Shen Fei, Shen Fei could use the torch to attack.

Mujin was still sitting beside him. Although her physical injuries, except for her wings, had all healed, her face still looked somewhat pale due to the severe loss of power.

Therefore, Puyang Ze and Long Aotian were both certain that Jiang Kun would definitely have Jiang Jingxin bring Liang Keman to attend the birthday banquet this time, so that they could take control of Jiang Jingxin first, making the subsequent matters much easier to handle.

Suddenly, a piercing sound rang out, and a grayish-black shadow suddenly emerged from behind the iron gate, pausing for a moment in mid-air before lunging at the unconscious Qiu Sheng.

Fu Xinghan and Ling Yunpeng also knew that their every move from now on would be under the strict surveillance of the Japanese, so it was absolutely impossible for them to escape.

Just then, a cry came from outside the house. Judging by the accent, it sounded like the language of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Warning: Never let a boat passenger sit in your seat; it may lead to unpredictable consequences.
