38 The Sole One

Xue Nanxun was in a state of sheer panic. Subconsciously, he reached out to help Mother Xue, who was struggling to stand, but she pushed his hand away.

Leng Shuyan’s mind had been a complete blank, buzzing with confusion, but Zhong Xingyue’s words instantly pulled his scattered thoughts back into focus.

The decision-makers of the Imperial Star were remarkably far-sighted; they believed that one day, the Blue Star would grow powerful—powerful enough to turn the heads of every other star system and lead the interstellar community through a cataclysmic disaster.

The man grew even more flustered. He hurriedly grabbed some tissues to wipe away the mess, then apologized profusely as he readjusted the vehicle.

The three children were unaware that they were being secretly followed and protected. Among their guardians was even an elder from the Galing Academy, whose strength was naturally formidable.

Qianye Jue was now lying flat on the stone steps. Hearing Qianye’s voice, he lifted his head slightly. The bright moonlight caught his eyes, forcing him to shield them with his hand.

"Wait, bring the manager here to see me!" Emperor Hongwu stopped Yun Haotian and gave the order.

The maids and nannies knew all too well how difficult the Seventh Concubine was, but since even the Madam could do nothing about her, what could they possibly do?

Releasing Xiluo, Ye Feng trotted over to Mo Qianyan’s side, a fawning smile on his face as he offered earnest, bitter advice.

Long Jiuye certainly knew how resilient his eldest brother was, but it was understandable that the Fifth Young Master felt protective of his friend.

Liposuction causes irreversible damage to the body. In just two short years, Ling Xiaoxiao had undergone two major procedures. Combined, she had over a hundred pounds of fat removed; she was truly throwing her life away.

The original Su Family Restaurant was bustling with guests. Beyond the relatives and friends of the Su family, there were important long-time patrons and the officials from the Yumei Foundation. Today, only half the restaurant was open to the public, while the rest was reserved for these distinguished guests attending the banquet.

Yet Su Le thought to herself, now that she had such a firm commitment from Ye Chen, why was she still letting her mind wander?

Mo Bai watched silently as people gradually walked inside. There were a few tourists wearing Ghost Warrior masks; in truth, if one carefully sensed their auras, it was clear they possessed no vital life force at all. It was all just an illusion.

Tao Xian spread his hands, a faint smile playing on his thin lips: "You don't think I’m your biological son, do you?" If he weren't biological, then kicking him certainly wouldn't be an act of rebellion—one might even say it was a well-deserved, marvelous strike.

As for Daliang Shan, he was the team's strategist. Despite his tall and sturdy build, he was not a physical cultivator, but rather the brains of the operation.

"It really is late-stage strength." After assessing the power of the demonic beast, Fang Yan felt a quiet sense of relief. If it had been a mid-stage or early-stage beast, he would have been truly heartbroken.

Because Xiang Ye spoke with such crisp efficiency, the entire call lasted no more than a minute and a half.

When Bai Xuan heard this, his ears burned. To prevent his sister from noticing anything, he immediately ushered them into the house.

I checked my watch; there was still some time before dark. Regardless of the circumstances, the procedures in this line of work could not be changed. The issue of the yin energy could only be observed at night.

Xia Jian was a man, after all. He had consumed quite a bit of alcohol and felt somewhat tipsy, but he was still a long way from being truly drunk.

Although he appeared lazy at the moment, Li Jiang could perceive his stable internal energy and his steady, powerful limbs. Coupled with those thick, calloused hands, it seemed the rumors about his expertise in artifact refining were indeed true.

"What do you mean, you don't want to see me again? I haven't even shunned you! You’re shunning me first? Open the door! Let’s face each other and talk this through!" A-Si, fueled by indignation, pounded on the gate of Ruan Meizhao’s courtyard, determined to have a face-to-face confrontation.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Four Imperial Realms was far richer than on Earth. Naturally, the medicinal herbs grown there were more potent. According to Moke’s estimation, the effect of one Peiyuan Pill from Earth was barely half that of one refined in the Four Imperial Realms.

The cavalry on both sides, who were battling by torchlight, suddenly felt their torches extinguished by a gust of fierce energy. Darkness instantly engulfed the area around the "King of Nine Serenities," Shangguan Youming.

"We will not leave! We swear to live and die with the sect!" all the disciples shouted in unison, their eyes red with emotion.

Ming was still hesitating. Whether he could trust Li Jiang was something he couldn't determine, but he had no other choice.

It must be said, Xia Jian had indeed been sleep-deprived lately. After Ouyang Xue mentioned it, he actually drifted off. When he woke up, the sports car was already parked at the edge of the orchard.

"Big Brother, who is he? What does he mean? Why would he say we’ve been following him?" Another man rolled up his sleeves and shouted indignantly, as if he had been falsely accused of something for no reason, his temper flaring instantly.

[Iron Mountain Bandits Suppression] A powerful group of bandits has entrenched itself in the Iron Mountain range of the Aolai Kingdom. We request the hero to dispatch troops immediately and eradicate them. Quest Reward: Rights to purchase land and property in the Aolai Kingdom; other items. Quest Add-on: Aolai Kingdom series quests.

Beria suddenly opened his eyes and let out a low shout. A massive surge of energy silently dissipated, clearing the accumulated snow, falling flakes, and raging wind from the entire area.

"It’s fine, it’s not a secret. The Space Agency discovered it; it is indeed a life-sustaining system with several planets inhabited by life. But to be honest with you, that place is actually a subsidiary region of the Heavenly Realm—it’s essentially a colony."

Guichou stood at the edge of the village, some distance from the entrance, yet his position allowed him a panoramic view of the entire settlement. Seeing the skeleton soldiers, he sneered inwardly. Dark energy surged from his hands, immediately drawing the attention of the enemy mages.

Heavy, ancient, simple, and awe-inspiring, an aura swept across the area. Faintly, the barbarian palace exuded a pressure that seemed to suppress everything, making the kneeling barbarians appear even more devout.

Bai Jie nodded solemnly as she listened to Hua Bin’s instructions: "By the way, your condition yesterday was extremely critical—you were on the brink of death. Although you are better now, your body has inevitably suffered some damage."
