Volume 1, Chapter 44: They Have Already Made Up

He wore a scholar's scarf on his head and a traditional Confucian robe, presumably to blend in with the local customs. However, these Han garments looked utterly bizarre and incongruous on him. His eyes first crossed paths with Shen Ao's, but then landed on Zhou Ruo, flashing with undisguised admiration.

No matter where it was, under any circumstances, or within any faction, a dead genius possessed not a shred of value anymore. The only contribution Xiao Jianying made was to serve as a stepping stone for Lin Mu's renown.

"Impossible. I know almost every police officer in all of Japan, and there is no officer with the surname Akebia!" Sato said solemnly.

"Uh." Longyang uttered a casual response, though he believed that whatever Mengxi had mentioned must be related to the medicinal fragrance he had smelled.

At this moment, Chen Xi was actually quite lucid; he could even hear the conversation between Duanmugu and the others. Yet, he simply could not wake up because he was trapped in a very strange state of consciousness.

At the mouth of the canyon, five hundred Flying Leopard Cavalry surged out, instantly blocking the pass completely. Leading them was none other than the Demon domain general known as Thunder Leopard.

Although he did not know why the other party had come to assassinate him, before he entered the capital and posed that question to the Emperor, he would not allow himself to die.

Had it not been for the connection through Ye Qingcheng, which prevented both sides from unleashing a full-scale battle, the simplest way to force Zongheng out would likely have been for Ye Xin to strike against Xiao Fan.

Hearing this, Xiao Fan merely offered a faint smile. "Yufei, although you are very attractive, Peking University does not belong to your family, it seems. What qualification do you have to drive me away?" Xiao Fan said calmly.

"One hundred and twenty thousand spirit stones!" Feng Shu shouted quite resolutely. This time, he still placed great value on this mid-grade divine artifact. Especially upon learning that it was a defensive divine artifact armor, Feng Shu raised his bottom-line price considerably in his heart.

The violent impact instantly blasted the arena's floor—which was as hard as profound iron—into a pockmarked landscape.

With a slight thought, the large roulette wheel in front of Meng Xin suddenly flashed with brilliant light. Countless flashes of light and shadow swept across the six sectors before finally coming to a halt. Aside from the red sector, which remained completely empty with only the four characters "Thanks for participating" displayed, extractable prizes appeared in all the other sectors.

Master Zhong has quite a few sleep-aiding herbs on hand that are completely harmless to the body. Father can use some to soothe his nerves.

After waiting for a while, once everything was settled, Song Qingcheng lived up to expectations by beating himself into the shape of a pig's head, knocking out several of his teeth in the process.

Five consecutive trips later, more than half of the people in the stronghold were gone, and only then did Su Ye and the others board the escape pods in batches.

At this moment, everyone could sense the barely contained rage of the Divine Firmament Sect's patriarch. Many of the weaker disciples had their legs turn to jelly on the spot, causing them to collapse and kneel on the ground.

"This theme is just too fitting for my comeback!" Yin Xian said with an expression of immense excitement as he accepted the award.

Lu Hao was overjoyed. He estimated that the Time Beads inside this rainbow python probably numbered over five hundred. This quantity of Time Beads was more than enough for him to use for quite a long time.

A cyan figure flashed and stood firmly on the spot. It was startlingly none other than Meng Nan, who had walked out from the Nine Dragons Sealing Heaven Formation.

Mang Canine thought this radiance was bestowed upon him by Amaterasu, but Liu Ming, Ji Yehe, and the others knew that this was entirely due to Igu's own formidable cultivation base.

"Then I shall await the good news." Yan Shaozhe released Jing Hongchen's hand. Both men smiled and bowed to each other in courtesy, while simultaneously gesturing toward their respective subordinates.

He pushed forward with both hands, and a pale-white humanoid phantom opened its palms wide like palm-leaf fans, lashing out with lightning.

This time it was the room door that opened; the pillars Wang Mu had knocked on both previous times were on either side of the doorway.

Filled with anticipation, Lin Qianmo moved with her thoughts, and the silver-white gourd filled with monkey wine appeared in her right hand.

Unfortunately, Zhao Meng's vengeance ultimately came to nothing. With the enhancement of the Chaotic Azure Wings, Feng Jiu's speed was so ghostly and unpredictable that how could Zhao Meng possibly target him? Thus, Feng Jiu once again seized the opportunity to instantly eliminate the person with the frailty ability, leaving only Zhao Meng behind.

Following sampling and testing, ergot toxins were detected in the problematic rye, the pigsty troughs, and the black flour steamed buns from the back kitchen, all stored in Wang Yunhao's home.

"Come in." Chu Guo opened the door and walked inside. To his surprise, besides Morpheus drinking tea in the principal's office, there was also an old man with a ruddy, wine-blossomed nose. Dressed somewhat sloppily, he was hugging a bottle of wine and sleeping on the sofa, exuding the strong scent of alcohol.

Xu Dahai led Gu Yaonan to a secluded spot in the backyard, temporarily cutting off the noisy din of the funeral in the front yard.

Yet no one knew that the Shang monarch, far away in Zhaoge, had once again shamelessly snuck into Xiqi, accompanied by his trusted advisor, chief military commander, and bodyguard E Lai, along with his favorite concubine Daji.

When the news regarding the outcome of this Four-Sect Conflict was transmitted back to the sect, the entire organization was shaken. The disciples, who had been eagerly waiting for their senior brothers and sisters to return in triumph, instantly plunged into an abyss of sorrow from which they could not extricate themselves.

This was his duty, and Dong Xuanwu clearly did not intend to manage it any further. What was the purpose of an imperial inspector? Wasn't it just to clean up messes? Even if he didn't want to do it, he had no choice but to proceed.

Ever since Mu Han forced her to sell her blood, she had told herself that she would never hold even the slightest hope for Mu Han again.

Right at that moment, a shrill, piercing scream echoed across this floor. The scream was so agonizingly shrill that anyone who heard it would tremble all over.

Everyone present was deceived by Jing Yang's foolish-looking face, assuming it was all a coincidence. Watching with gloating amusement as Situ Ze was thrown heavily to the ground, they burst into applause and cheers.

Mu Han had promised to turn over a new leaf; Mu Han had promised to protect her. A tiny flicker of hope had blossomed in her heart, making her believe things would unfold just as she imagined.

With him in the Ye family, along with her eldest brother, and at worst even Hanhan, when would it ever be anyone else's turn to make irresponsible remarks?

"Elder Mu, why aren't you worried at all..." Shaking Mu Fengbing's arm, Mu Xuan said in a spoiled, coquettish tone.
