Chapter 46: What Is Taken from the Goat Is Born of the Goat

After eating her fill, Ji Sisi felt drowsy.

Indeed, a life of luxury and indolence did not suit her. Ji Sisi got up and moved around a bit, preparing to embark on a new day of striving.

It was rare that Gu Yu had no official business to attend to today and wanted to accompany his wife; the two of them planned to go out for a bike ride together.

Having a repair expert like Gu Yu at home was truly wonderful, as they now had another bicycle.

Even if Gu Wei rode out, Gu Yu could—

Holding the master's bronze phallus in hand, it might not compare to supreme treasures like the Yin-Yang Exorcism Mirror, the Nine-Yin Jade Flute, or the Celestial Master Sword, but it was definitely a tremendously powerful magical artifact for repelling ghosts and subduing demons.

As soon as they entered the barrier, everyone was blown back and forth by a fierce gale. Looking closely, they realized that the entire Xuanming Taiji Diagram had undergone dramatic changes.

There are always some people who, at a certain moment, can cause a heart forged as strong as a rock through cultivating immortality and practicing the Dao to instantly melt into gentleness.

The know-it-all rambled on dryly about the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, the Mandate of Heaven, and the current political situation, yet no one offered him a cup of tea. Looking dejected and crestfallen, he stood up, paid his tea bill himself, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and left the teahouse.

Wuyi's joy lasted only until the afternoon of the next day. National Humiliation Day, a date that the Chinese people should remember forever.

"I specifically came into the palace today to plead guilty to His Majesty. Since I haven't even seen His Majesty, how can I leave the palace?" Xu Xiyuan said with a smile, his dark pupils rippling with amusement, sparkling like water.

Noticing Consort Wang's guilty conscience, Li Li chuckled and, lingering no longer, headed toward the Qianfei Palace.

He did not know how to face Hua Jianying. If he were to tell her everything, she certainly would not be able to accept it! Perhaps she would hate him even more; after all, if it weren't for his lack of trust in her, she would not have lived these past years with such hardship.

"This Bai Xing is a person from my palace, so it might not be appropriate for me to speak," Li Li had no desire to fail in rescuing Bai Xing and end up implicating herself as well.

The Yanwei form had always been the most powerful of the Cicada Clan, making it naturally the king of the Cicada Clan. Moreover, Yan Wuji, having fused with the divine soul of Jintuo, possessed terrifying strength. Especially after returning to the Cicada Clan, his cultivation had far surpassed what it was back then, and he was now comparable to an eleventh-grade sea cultivator.

"Wait!" Seeing that they were about to turn and leave, Dean Zhou grew somewhat anxious. If he failed to handle this matter well, how could he account for it to Aunt Ye?

Despite the financial income from the Black Underworld Star and the Divine Ancient Star, Luo Tianhuan's backup funds were still far from abundant, amounting to roughly 1.6 billion crystal coin currency. This sum of 1.6 billion crystal coin currencies seemed huge, but for this fleet, it was still far too little.

From the very first time they met, he had felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy toward this girl. Now he finally understood the reason. This must be what they called blood being thicker than water.

Luo Tianhuan equipped the Ring of the Decaying Tyrant. As for the Executioner's Great Axe, aside from a reduction in speed by 20, all its other attributes were excellent, so Luo Tianhuan planned to keep it for now.

The family sat around the table. The stir-fried meat was served in a medium-sized stainless steel basin, piled high into a peak, with plenty of seasonings mixed inside such as pickled vegetables, garlic cloves, and chili peppers, but the meat itself also looked quite plentiful.

Her words were identical to what she had said to Gu Xiaojun earlier, but her tone was far less fierce than it had been during their private conversation.

Shortly after, Chen Xiu presided over another leadership team meeting, where everyone spoke and delivered remarks, which served as a way to get acquainted with one another.

Yun Jingqi had seen this photograph before and liked it very much, because this photo could be said to be a classic milestone in Tong Che's life journey. Tong Che had placed it in his office, which showed that that period of time held extraordinary significance for him as well.

"What are you..." Luo Tianhuan looked at El丝 in front of him. Although her appearance had indeed changed, she still bore quite a resemblance to her former self.

The surviving members of the Phantom Sword Sect fled in panic, but the place where they stood was in the middle of the river, and the nearest riverbank was two or three kilometers away. Even in flight, where could they escape?

Captain Albreht's earpiece transmitted the confident and encouraging voice of the rear guide. His frown deepened further; it wasn't that Albreht distrusted the guide's words, but rather that the contents of the intelligence report forced him to doubt its authenticity.

Long Shaoyan pulled coquettishly at Helan Yao's sleeve, but this time with too much force. Unprepared, Helan Yao watched as a few drops of the medicinal liquid splashed onto her face.

She felt there was something slightly amiss with this medicine. Helan Yao stuck out her tongue to taste it, and sure enough, there was a hint of bitterness, yet the ingredients seemed normal. Where, then, did that trace of strangeness come from?

Had Li Mu not been away in Philadelphia, Paul Masefield could never have been so unbridled. Otherwise, there is no telling whether Paul Masefield might have met the exact same fate as Tweed.

It was another lonely afternoon. Wei Renwu woke up alone in bed, his hangover still lingering. Clutching his throbbing head, he tried hard to recall how he had made it home.

I had once faced Yan Ke's parents, so I felt extremely nervous inside regarding my new parents-in-law.

Hearing this, everyone was slightly startled and stared at her in unison. The Dowager Consort shook her head, unwilling to speak with her further.

Mo Yan saw this from her side as well, but being entangled by Hong Ling and Huang Yu, she let out a mournful roar and swept her palms to kick up a flurry of dust across the ground. Even so, she could not block the swords of the guards in black.

"I don't know. The calling card said it would arrive in the afternoon. You should prepare yourself and go out to meet him." Although Prince Qing was angry with her, he remained deeply concerned for her safety and had specially deployed troops to guard her.

Aunt Yu felt deeply aggrieved. Over the years, the Dowager Consort had treated her exceptionally well; when had the Dowager ever spoken to her in such a harsh tone? Mindful that Consort Ning's unborn child was the bloodline of the Prince's Estate, she gritted her teeth and went to wait upon Consort Ning.

He wanted to struggle, but the technique used by the Eldest Brother Lei was a genuine orthodox great grasping method from Tibet, which proved extremely effective. No matter how he twisted and turned, he simply could not break free from Lei's control.

Chu Lian looked suspiciously at Xiyan, whose eyes were darting away, and said nothing, allowing her to be helped over to the table.

Li Zhixian adjusted her respiration: "Young Master Wang, let us discuss how to release the acupoints for Sister Liu and Sister Zhou." Jin Minhui said, "I'll go call them over." Wang Hou stopped her, pondered for a moment before voicing his thoughts, and both Jin Minhui and Li Zhixian nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Fine, I won't come over. Your emotional state seems wrong right now. What's wrong?" Xuan Tian also didn't understand why her attitude had suddenly changed so drastically, catching him completely off guard.
