Chapter 23: Together with Miss Arni

After Xing Jue finished speaking, Bai Yu smiled and said casually, "Since we’ve decided to get married, let’s formally dissolve the engagement with Si Yao first. Only then will it be proper for her and me to talk further."

He turned to the old Madam Xing. "I’ve heard Si Yao say before that you’re practically her grandmother. Grandma, you must help her with this matter. After all, her reputation isn’t exactly spotless these days."

...

As the helmet struck the ground with a clear, ringing clang, the demons surrounding Wu Enqi saw a face still tinged with youth—an angry pair of black eyes and a head of flowing black hair. Though tall and imposing, Wu Enqi was only sixteen, still so young, completely beyond the expectations of the demon adventurers.

At the head of the group were the Left and Right Envoys of the Great Luo Sect: Yang Xiao on the left, He Qing on the right, both supreme experts of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

Yi Le descended the stairs. It was pouring rain outside, so he couldn’t possibly go out to buy anything. Yet, in a hotel of this caliber, there ought to be a medical room—if not, he would have no choice but to brave the storm.

Even those who designed the school’s assignment could never have imagined things would turn out like this.

Originally, the sparks from the stars were not enough to pierce the spiritual barrier, but after Li Yuyun performed the "Spark of Stars," she followed up with the second technique, "Piercing a Hundred Steps," combining the two sword moves. Thus, these sparks inherited the quality of shooting straight through a hundred paces.

But there were three retainers in Xu Gong’s household, all eager to avenge him, yet lacking a proper opportunity.

His six men scattered in six directions to search, and after half an hour, a signal was given from one side. Hu Wei then led the other two in that direction.

Upon hearing this, Luo Long gripped his long blade and thought to himself, "So that’s how it is. It seems I must become stronger if I am to earn the recognition of this divine sword."

Yet, during the subsequent demon invasion, that enormous island was shattered into countless fragments. The three largest pieces were each taken over by one of the three great surviving divine beast clans, leading to the present Dragon Island, Phoenix Island, and Kunpeng Divine Island.

Tang En felt depressed—he had practically wrapped himself up and offered himself, yet no one wanted him. It was truly disheartening.

To be honest, Murong Qiuhua was already bewildered by the situation, and after Lu Tinghe’s scare, she was even more at a loss.

With every stretch climbed, numerous junctions appeared, leading off to thick branches. On these branches there were intact buildings, ruins, and countless bizarre things.

Watching his figure disappear inside, Li Fei thought that General Zhou was beginning to show off his airs. Yet, she still believed the man had a screw loose.

Bai Hongqi only wished he could shrink into a tiny ball, as inconspicuous as possible. The best would be if His Majesty ignored and forgot all about him.

Zhou Shiyuan was still seated. Madam Gu tried to help him to bed, but he waved her off. "I fear there will be more visitors." When Manager Huo entered, Zhou Shiyuan was unsurprised and simply greeted him with a mild smile.

This girl was afraid that Yang Fan would stay—if Su Baimo found out, she would certainly be displeased. Yet she also wanted Yang Fan to remain, for it had been so long since they’d shared any true intimacy. Xiao Mei really did miss him a little.

In the emergency room, Old Madam Tang’s bandaging was nearly finished. Though her wounds looked terrifying, they were not actually severe. Still, to make Tang Yaoyun more anxious, she continued to feign great pain. As soon as she was wheeled out, she immediately began searching for Tang Muqing.

My eyes glanced down, and then I saw the zombie’s terrifying, half-living, half-dead face. Looking further down, I realized my hand was resting right on the zombie’s chest!

In contrast to Zhou Binchen’s disciples, Bai Hongqi’s two apprentices were both incredibly sly and sharp. If you didn’t spell things out, they would never understand; even if you did, they might not truly grasp the meaning. When it came to action, unless prodded, they wouldn’t budge, and if you left out even a single word, they’d likely veer completely off course.
