132 Gently Consoling Concubine Liu

Zhuo Yunlan seized Soton and followed close behind as they leapt down. In midair, her personal Xiongbing Company armor emerged from the dark dimensional space, assembling itself rapidly around her piece by piece, each component locking into place with a series of crisp, pleasant clicks.

Feng Yeqing knew perfectly well that the keyboard was in those people’s hands. They would hide behind their screens and type all manner of vile, unsightly words.

Rose’s two days of special training with Zhuo Yunlan had not been without results. She could control an ever-increasing number of darts, and the places where she sent them grew increasingly bizarre.

When Mo Zhai heard Wu Weiyi casually blurt out yet another long string of inexplicable “objects” whose names he could not make out, he stared at him in utter bewilderment.

With that thought, Pan An crawled sideways to the edge of the bed, lay face down with both hands braced against the frame, and lowered his head to peer beneath it.

There was still nearly a month before the school term began, yet one could already see students coming and going. Several parking spaces by the school entrance occasionally held a number of luxury cars, and some even had bottles of drinks—Pulse, Red Bull, and the like—sitting on their roofs. Chen Xi found the sight rather baffling.

Moreover, Longyuan City was dominated by martial artists in the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Realms. Rather than pay a high price to have a Fourth-Rank alchemist refine premium Immortal-Calling Powder, it was better to spend heavily and purchase large quantities of low-grade Immortal-Calling Powder to forcibly raise their cultivation.

This game was far too complicated. It had gone beyond mere entertainment, and ordinary people simply could not solve it.

After settling in the dantian, this force did not remain docile or still. Instead, it roamed restlessly in every direction, seemingly unwilling to stay within the dantian and eager to break into other parts of the body.

The bald, tattooed man produced a cigarette from somewhere, and a man beside him casually lit it for him.

The beauty of a spring night lies in this—love, promised eternity by time: tonight, let us shatter the moonlight and set tenderness free. Like every falling string of a zither, each note stirs the threads of passion, murmuring its tale again and again.

Furthermore, nearly seventy percent of the profits earned by the Liang Corporation every year came from the Ma Corporation.

The First Madam came over to urge her along. Su Jinxiu answered, called for Lianqiao and Qiqiao to follow, and then walked behind the First Madam and the others up the long flight of steps.

“What are you saying? Didn’t the shopkeeper just say it? We’re all family here. If family doesn’t help family, then who should we help? It’s only right, only right! Nothing worth mentioning! Nothing worth mentioning!” The Second Master grew even more pleased with himself.

At such close range, the sharp waves of energy surrounding Qing Guang evaporated like foam beneath the blazing sun. After whipping up a fierce wind, they gradually dispersed.

“Anything you wrap is bound to taste delicious.” Huaihua took the rice dumpling and handed it to her mother, then said with a cheerful smile to An Jing.

Su Jinxiu walked all the way back to the courtyard, with Cheng Ying following behind. The moment she entered the room, Cheng Ying closed the door.

“Are you all right now?” An Jin struggled free from his embrace. All around them were verdant mountains and limpid streams, and the two stood amid the shade of the trees, looking every inch like an immortal couple.

Her monthly salary was only twelve thousand. It had taken her this long to find a chance to sell a bottle of Shennong Pill, which would earn her a ten-thousand commission, and then Qi Guan Miao had to come along and ruin everything.

At that very moment, Qi Xiaoxian emerged from the side. The instant he saw Ruan Di, his heart surged with emotion, and he wrapped her in a tight embrace without hesitation.

“The Emperor praised her for understanding filial piety and brotherly devotion, so he made her a Noble Lady. He sent all the Luo family’s descendants serving in the army to various places as officials. Aside from Luo Changshan, he did not implicate a single other member of the Luo family,” Bi Yun said.

“Now that these matters have been settled once and for all, do not stir up any more trouble. Burn it.” Tao Yaoyao sighed as she gave the order.

Lie Cheng had never imagined that the object was on Gu Dan all along. Gu Dan had swallowed it, and only when a fire was lit did the object reveal its true form. Qin Keqi had then picked it up and casually tossed it into the tent, where it eventually found its way into Tao Yaoyao’s hands.

They seemed more like a jumble of fragmented sentences, yet their meaning was perfectly clear: revenge.

The Heavenly King’s Imperial Dragon Palm was one of the Lanling Xiao family’s guardian techniques. It could be learned only by a direct-line divine heir, or by someone who had rendered great service to the family.

Xin Muyù did not trade insults with the guards—not because she had a gentle temperament, but because she knew those guards truly would strike her. Besides, she had no mind to quarrel with them now. Madam Mu Yu’s thoughts were filled with only one question: What was she to do?

When Cheng Yaojin saw that Li You had not forgotten the matter and was asking about it again, he could only resort to evasive tactics. “Oh dear, I’m old now—my head is muddled, my eyes are failing, and my memory isn’t what it used to be. Your Highness, you’d better let me take another careful look!” He squinted theatrically in that direction.

Han Feng had originally intended to seize the opportunity for an embrace and a passionate kiss, but when he stood before Sophia, he found himself staring at her with reddened eyes, unable to utter a word.

This time, Leopard Head did not need Yan Dongjin to shout at him. He dragged Third Master Mo up by the hand and slammed him onto the ground. Third Master Mo struck the back of his head and immediately passed out.

“That still isn’t the most impressive part. The truly incredible one is Dawei.” Guo Kai began teasing them again.

A general store usually sold daily necessities and the equipment commonly used by martial artists and adventurers, such as magical fluorescent lamps and tents. Naturally, it also carried what Lorin needed at the moment—the masks.

Yin saw that one silver needle had indeed stopped in midair. It was the one nearest to him. Then, one after another, the remaining needles halted in the air. From near to far, they received the commands Yin issued and obediently carried them out.

A towering mountain appeared before everyone’s eyes once more. Yet the feeling it gave Luo Mei and the others was entirely different from before—a sense of intimacy that was difficult to describe.

The Southern Heaven Sect had two defining characteristics. First, its combat strength was formidable. Among the top ten combatants in every realm and tier across the Longkun Continent, the sect accounted for two or three. Second, its alchemical attainments were exceptional. It possessed many secret pill formulas and even had an Emperor of Alchemy, one of only two such figures on the entire Longkun Continent.

“Prime Minister Han, Generals, you all make valid points. At a time like this, retreat is our only option. I agree,” Yelü Cai said softly.

Uncle Gao immediately stepped in to smooth things over. Shen Lian could not understand what he had done wrong. He had captured Zhou Wei. Though he had not condemned him, he had at least eradicated that festering menace, making both the Dragon Gate and the Dragon Thorn safer.

“Li Yu, do you feel that something is wrong?” Liu Ninghan asked, turning back to look at Li Yu while piloting the flying treasure.

This change really was much better. Shelly was not afraid of the tuning fork’s attacks, and she could block every strike with ease.
