Chapter 18: The Fortune Teller Xie Yunze

After all that, it turned out to be a confession? Jiang Chang’an found it amusing and was about to tease her, but then saw the expressions of the young ladies suddenly turn startled. They quickly offered polite farewells and hurried away.

Once the magical array was fully drawn, the three-legged cauldron looked completely transformed. Its original brass hue had shifted to a dark gold, exuding an air of nobility and luxury.

First, a soul-seizing curse was cast upon the driving fairy—the fairy sat at the front of the carriage with hands resting on her knees, her expression vacant.

“Mom, Dad, I have a classmate whose family runs a business. I was chatting with him earlier, and he mentioned a vacancy. I was wondering if Cousin might try applying?” Lin Chu asked as she sat in the living room, addressing them.

As for Yin Zhonghai, he had already been bought off by the Southern Li Kingdom. Having committed an act against his conscience, he felt deep remorse. Coupled with the emperor’s guilt, some of the blame fell on him. It was clear the emperor had grown distant toward him lately, so his dedication to serving the Southern Li Kingdom had waned.

He intended to save money to pay for his mother’s medical treatment, so I don’t blame him at all, even though he pretended to detest eating meat.

Because the alchemist chose a different approach instead of directly deciding whether to leave this place and explore outside.

However, although the previous attempt went unheard, there was no guarantee the next one would remain secret.

No matter what they were doing, the next moment they all froze in place and, as if by unspoken agreement, looked up to the sky.

Master Han was in high spirits, but Dou Wei could never bring himself to dampen his mood by pouring cold water on him.

These ninth-rank cultivators all shared the same thought. Although Ye Haoxuan wielded a divine artifact and was powerful, no matter how strong he was, how could he possibly withstand a coordinated attack from over a dozen ninth-rank cultivators?

Yet, within Po Jun’s heart surged shock, unaware that Cao Sifeng’s inner turmoil was even more tempestuous.

Tang Chen paid no heed to Wang Hongjia’s disdain, instead fixing his gaze on a battle platform below.

Zhao Jilong and his companions were speechless, cold sweat pouring down. They were soldiers from Kaifeng, unfamiliar with the Qingxu dialect, but upon hearing those words, they knew their identities were compromised. Each gripped the hilt of their sword, ready to fight to the death.

No! These refined items seemed useless! He lacked none of them; it was merely practice. If the refining failed, he would simply fuse them again.

Though oysters are not inherently corrupt, their nature being sweet, salty, and neutral without poison, the barbecue tainted them, turning what was pure into something impure.

Though everyone had broken through the encirclement, during those brief moments, Zhan Mo and the others suffered varying degrees of injury.

Pressing onward, soon the ancient trees vanished. Before them lay a chaotic heap of gigantic rocks.

The jade bottle was managed by Elder Liu, so he had no idea which pill Tang Chen’s medicine was. He couldn’t believe Tang Chen had only achieved a score of six.

They had assumed Long Jue Tian had reached the sixth level but were shocked to discover that not only had he failed to reach the sixth, he hadn’t even made it past the fifth.

Since Chun Yiren declared Long Tian a commander, then he must be one! Yet they were astonished—how could such a young person be a commander? They had never heard of him before.

He remained lying motionless on the large ‘bed’ in the secret room, eyes tightly shut. Before fainting, when the azure beam from the Black Tortoise relic shattered his dantian, he coughed up two mouthfuls of blood.

His eyes gradually regained their luster, and he found himself unharmed in Chen Feng’s warm embrace. Chen Feng seemed fine as well, which eased his mind. The hatred vanished; he was loved by him, so why harbor resentment? He wasn’t stirring up trouble for no reason.

At that moment, I hadn’t yet processed the situation. “Continue?” What did Sister Yu’er mean by that?

He didn’t approach, merely watching her from afar, as if afraid that if he stepped forward, she would retreat or flee.

The only uncertainty was the sequence of combined attacks. After all, he bore a shield. The key was how to break through that shield.

The three brothers from the Zhuo family were truly formidable, a mighty adversary. Zhang Tianyang had a faint feeling that they had yet to exert their full strength.

A Mid-Autumn Festival gala? How did Gu Jingchen know about that? Could it be that the troops, bored, collectively watched it? Otherwise, with such a busy and prestigious position, would he waste time watching those dazzling celebrity performances?

Listening to the members of the Mo Yan gang gloating and jeering, Jian Ao’s face darkened with fury! Since entering the game, when had he ever felt so stifled? When had he ever been so thoroughly defeated?

Lang Ya had slammed the front gate many times, but each time, it was repelled. The mermaid princess, once frozen by the divine realm, had yet to become an immortal then; now she was one, possibly even a deity—though that remained uncertain.

Zhao Feng’s explanation wasn’t idle chatter but related to the items he intended to select for Princess Ankang.

The man peeked around cautiously and suddenly spotted a fork in the rain—the turnoff to the elevated road—just a step away. The sign was hidden among the wild branches of a dancing willow tree.

Shen Tang truly knew there was no way to stop Ye Che from making a scene. It was as if he had ADHD, constantly noisy. Shen Tang found it impossible not to notice the clatter.

In a flash, he found the familiar aura but couldn’t help furrowing his brow.

“Ocean, Ocean, monitor fuel and ammunition levels. Respond if received,” Shao Yunfeng called anxiously into the radio.

Finally understanding the whole sequence of events, Chen Xin was most at ease. After piecing everything together, she sat quietly sipping tea, her gaze toward Li Haiyang filled with subtle affection.
