Volume One, Chapter 119: Turmoil and Escape

Chen Lirong stared at the scene with burning hatred, wishing she could kill the child on the spot. After all, the child must be nearly five months old by now. If both lives were lost, given Bian Xunzhou's current preciousness, it would be like losing half his life.

The two exchanged a string of convoluted words, and finally, Qin Ze, having obtained the address, turned around, waved his hand dismissively, and left without looking back.

Not to mention the distant ones, but within her spiritual perception alone, there were no fewer than a hundred creatures she couldn’t obliterate with a single blaze of hellfire.

Moreover, I’m only here to stir up some excitement today. There are many intricacies I don’t know about. All I can do is speak up at the right moment, not escalate things. If it spins out of control and no one can settle it, that would be troublesome indeed.

“Then it’s settled.” Yun Qi’s decisive words ended the discussion. He then went to contact the Emperor Qinghua, while Jinghong, avoiding Feng Ruo, secretly used a spell to clean the dishes.

The thick stone pillar that had just been struck by the frenzied demon suddenly developed cracks, spiderwebbing outward in all directions.

“Yes, sir!” The group responded in unison, then dispersed to scour the forest in pursuit of their prey. For a moment, the sounds of battle cries echoed like a war between rival bandit gangs.

“Enough, enough.” Hearing this, Jing Zeming knew Fang Caiwei was about to launch into her usual “sophistry” mode again. Though he was quick-witted himself, before Fang Caiwei’s relentless logic, even the noble heir had to concede defeat. So he fell silent and lay down stiffly.

Jinghong was relieved that the two young male cultivators were so tenacious—they had drawn the attention of most of the monstrous birds. Yet, she worried about the pace of their advancement.

Qin Feng returned to Blue Demon City with Ming Li, settling there temporarily to recover from injuries and await the opportunity to rescue Ming Ju.

On the Haoling Continent, families and sects specializing in beast taming were few—no more than a handful. The Qianji family was one of them, ranking second in strength. The first place belonged to Haomiao Palace.

“What else? What did you think ‘glutinous rice cake’ looked like? This is a delicacy from the southern frontier,” Lin Guiwan raised an eyebrow.

“It’s fine. The priority now is to get out of the Abyss. Let’s go back and report the situation with the restrictions,” Gu Yi shook his head.

Ximen Shi felt there was something he had overlooked but couldn’t recall it immediately. It just felt important.

“If you have time, you can teach them to make it, but I doubt you’ll have time in the near future,” Shen Qinghuan sighed.

Out of the seven million, most of the silver was borrowed at high interest from the moneylender in the outer city by the Sea City Chamber of Commerce president.

If possible, he hoped this odd individual would remain in the Iron Kingdom. That way, when he returned to Grant, he could meet Marion within the Tree of Omniscience.

Now, Xun Qing fully understood why the ship was called the Dream. On the Dream, anything you desire would appear—anything at all.

“This is bad!” Colin cursed under his breath, preparing to use the abilities granted to him by the Tree of Omniscience.

To suddenly appear alive and well inside the room? Even the usually unflappable Miao Yufeng and Yuan Qing were shocked.

There’s a saying: I treat you as a friend, but you want more? No, that’s not right—it’s more like I’m open and sincere with you, but you’re secretive with me. John had finally integrated into the team, especially developing a good rapport with Nami and Robin. With his emotional intelligence, John would never intentionally do anything to harm the group’s feelings.

“Hey! Xiran! Let’s go!” Shuni’s shout immediately broke our three-second eye contact.
