Chapter 46

The sudden aura bursting from Bai Fenghua left the Prince of Nanhua stunned. At this moment, Bai Fenghua appeared so dazzling, so captivating. Could this truly be that utterly cowardly Bai Fenghua?

Upon hearing that the magical beast specifically named him, Yun Sheng felt his mind go blank. He had never even set foot in the Misty Forest; how on earth did this magical beast know his name?

Xiao Caifu’s hand froze on the doorknob, but a second later, she pulled the door open without the slightest hesitation.

"Thank you all for rushing over in time. Wu Ming is beyond grateful. I won't say any more; I propose this toast to everyone," Wu Ming said, raising a cup of wine, nodding to the crowd, and draining it in a single gulp.

Just as Bai Lingxi was about to step inside, she heard voices from within: "It's a good thing Fenghua has finally seen the light. The Prince of Nanhua was simply not worth her sincere devotion." This was Elder Bai’s voice, filled with a sense of relief.

"How can that be? Since Bureau Chief Wu finds it agreeable, please lie inside. We brothers must ensure that Bureau Chief Wu rests in peace, after all," the cloaked old man said with a bizarre smile, sounding as though he were chatting with an old friend.

In ancient times, mighty beings divided the heavens into four palaces of the East, West, North, and South, named respectively after the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise. In reality, this meant dividing the sky into four sections, connecting seven primary constellations within each section to form shapes, and naming them accordingly.

And so, one human and two beasts feasted happily by the seashore. Later on, the two giant gorillas even began to dance joyfully while eating, immensely delighted as if they had never tasted anything so delicious before.

"What... nonsense are you talking about?" Li Ziyang had not yet recovered from his previous anger. Hearing this, he froze for a moment, his mind somewhat dazed.

Participating in the tournament? Bai Fenghua glanced at the few contestants not far away and shrugged. Was there any need for her to step up? It would never be her turn to participate anyway.

Lin Xuan did not open his eyes to look; he simply sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, as if completely indifferent to the matter.

Atop his horse, Li Yuanba made no attempt to parry or dodge, choosing instead to charge wildly straight ahead. Taking a deep breath, he suddenly let out a low, thunderous roar.

Next came the birthday banquet, the presentation of birthday gifts, and the descendants kowtowing to Old Madam Zhou. Lin Xiaoqian kowtowed as well, daring not to play any tricks this time. The family was harmonious, the guests were joyous and festive, and the entire process was lively and bustling.

The imperial family was weighed down and nearly suffocated by various hardships. Therefore, when they saw last time how Yi Zhengqi, that bloodsucker, had managed to develop both the Muma Province and the Heilun Province, the imperial family grew envious. They abruptly crushed the Zhaoge Army and "confiscated" all the wealth the army had acquired.

The office door was left open, making it easy to see the situation between the two from inside, though no sound could be heard. Tang Shen frowned, searched for several angles inside the office, and finally stopped, staring outside without moving or speaking.

Then there was Zhao Gao, that damned eunuch, whose deeds gave birth to the idiom of calling a stag a horse. If not for his deception of the Second Emperor of Qin and his disruption of the imperial court, the mighty Qin Dynasty would not have collapsed in just over a decade.

However, the Heavenly Micro Star General did not even show its face; the army of sandmen alone was enough to put Jiang Sihan and the other two in a very sorry state.

Originally, everyone favored Hei Zhenxuan, believing he would utterly crush Lin Xuan. Now, it did not seem to be the case at all, as Hei Zhenxuan looked quite battered and was clearly losing the upper hand.

By comparison, Ye Yue, standing beside him, appeared somewhat more low-key, wearing a gray stand-collar shirt and cropped trousers. Her skin exposure was the least among them, but it undoubtedly looked exceptionally refreshing.

It seemed this senior was about to go out on a training journey and was thus purchasing some medicinal pills for self-defense, Wang Qiuyue guessed inwardly.

"Alright, alright, stop right there. Let's not get into these wild tangents; let's just eat properly," Dabai interrupted the two's rambling, fearing others might mistake this for a gathering of mental patients.

The second serving of spiritual rice came out alongside the braised pork. Made from the meat of the Iron-Tuned Boar and cooked using the techniques provided by Liu Ning's system, every single grain was translucent and glittering, instantly making one's appetite soar.

"Relax, relax. It even eats diamond as candy; plates are nothing to it," Li Gang said with a look of deep grief. How could he not mourn when thinking of a diamond ring that lasted less than a minute in its possession?

Enduring the powerful air currents brought by the unidentified giant bird, Li Gang turned and charged back into the shopping mall. He knew that remaining exposed outside would only give the bird an opportunity to attack, and only by hiding inside the mall could he evade its pursuit.

Under Fang Yan's dazed gaze, Yun Chu turned her back to him. To her surprise, Fang Yan immediately darted around to her front, continuing to stare at her face.

Despite this harsh environment, the number of living creatures was no less than in other places where spring reigned all year round. Moreover, they were stronger and far more ferocious.

Walking a few steps further, they bumped into Fan Sheng, who had earlier been frightened out of his wits and subsequently chased and beaten by the crowd.

Fang Yan made inquiries with Nani and learned that he could obtain premium-location tickets from the accompanying Sporting Club staff member's connections.

Spinning 1080 degrees in mid-air, Li Gang indicated that, judging by the force of her punch, Liu Shanshan had fully recovered her energy, and her mood seemed quite good.

Listening to that voice and looking at those features, Elder Rong realized she looked identical to the deceased Huo Mingzhu. Elder Rong had personally watched Huo Mingzhu being laid into her crystal coffin and buried.

"It really is him." Ximen Zhuixue had long guessed who the mastermind behind the scenes was. Although he had many enemies, very few had the capability to hire such a top-tier expert to assassinate him; only the Third Prince fit the criteria perfectly.

Ever since the incident with Jiang Xiaohu, Chen Lieyang, Chen Zhaoyang, and their brothers stopped giving their children allowance money once they turned fourteen. If they wanted living expenses or pocket money, they had to figure out how to earn it themselves.

However, this method had a drawback: the entire system had to be rebooted, which meant everything within their system would be deleted. Most importantly, rebooting the system required cutting off power for a few minutes, during which time they would be completely unaware of what was happening ahead.

Zhao Yanfang couldn't have felt more vindicated. Ming Beibei and Rong Ting were both easy-going people—cold on the exterior but warm at heart. Treat them with a fraction of kindness, and they would return it in kind.

"Hmph! There are countless bitches out there. What bullshit Maiden Chuxin, she's a downright white lotus! Besides, the idea that she could stop the Lord from going out is utterly ridiculous. Even if they refused to grant teleportation, did you really think the Lord lacked the ability to travel on his own?"
