Volume 1, Chapter 33: Sanguang Holy Water and the Huangzhong Plum Tree

Su Hongxiu, being a simple and honest person, was naturally unwilling to indulge her junior sister in such nonsense. She signaled to Qiao Jinyue with her eyes to stop, but Qiao Jinyue was filled with curiosity about Gu Ansheng and paid her no heed.

Li Dulu walked in, bowed once more to the corpse, then pricked his fingertip and let a drop of fresh blood fall into its mouth.

As for the consequences, there would certainly be some drawbacks, but as long as it remained within the human race, Earth could not possibly fare worse than it had in the original timeline.

"Hey!" As she paced, she was startled by a hand slapping her shoulder. Caught completely off guard, Qiao Jinyue jumped in fright.

She grabbed three silver dollars and cast them—a purely subconscious act—and saw the hexagram was two yin lines and one yang line, the Li hexagram.

The black beam of light dissipated, revealing a giant with a posture similar to Nexus, yet its eyes were pitch black, as if concealing a boundless, profound darkness that sent a chill down one's spine.

Successfully clearing a level increases one's rank by one; if one fails to do so, they are graded based on their performance on that level.

The character "Ci" (benevolence) lived up to its meaning, written with a soft stroke that faintly exuded a sense of compassion for all living things.

I noticed the person speaking was seated at the head of the table; he was an elderly man in his seventies, dressed in a dark green silk shirt, with a ruddy complexion and a kind, gentle expression. He was undoubtedly the father of Wang Shounian, Elder Wang.

The silver-masked man seemed to understand her concerns and said nothing more. After watching her leave, he took flight and vanished into the night.

To rescue Chen Yue, Jiang Yaojiang not only paid a massive ransom but also handed over a major company project.

Once the three finally reached the conference room via the spiral wooden staircase, Boss Qian tried to push the door open, but it wouldn't budge; it required a key.

Her beauty caused countless people around to steal glances, and their gazes toward Lu Heng were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

However, they also knew they had realized it too late. The people had already been captured by the Teng Snake, and knowing this was useless. Although the whereabouts of the others were unknown, to the four of them led by Wu Niu, it was highly probable that they had been caught and killed.

"I will inquire further with the supplier. Let me take you back first," Sheng Nanqi said.

Although this type of wood, most suitable for crafting, grew slowly and took many years to reach a size sufficient for making bows, the wood from older trees was undeniably stronger. Previously, there had been no way to utilize these trees.

Her hands and feet were connected to faint, silver-like threads that stretched toward the infinitely distant sky.

This realization made Jiang Shunu’s heart skip a beat. She did not understand why she would think this way, as such thoughts had never existed in her previous life.

A black hole wreathed in white currents suddenly emerged above its head. An indescribable aura escaped from the hole, filling one with a sense of terror.

He did not boast of his great strength or claim to have more destiny than the other; instead, he seriously considered the root cause and ultimately arrived at this conclusion.

An escort agency is equivalent to an ancient logistics and security company, capable of guarding cargo and escorting important figures.

Xin Che was already doubting reality, stunned by Jiang Lili’s magical backpack and these bizarre fireworks. Seeing Jiang Lili collide with him and observing her shocked expression, he reached out to shield her and covered her ears.

His vision began to blur, and everything around him seemed shrouded in a hazy mist. The figure of Li Chen'an gradually became distant and indistinct before his eyes.

Originally, Eric had intended to point out every low-level mistake made by Li Huai, but now he was completely lost. Because he didn't understand, he dared not speak, fearing he would embarrass himself.

Moreover, this dish of [Braised Pork with Red Soil] was something he had learned from Bai Cunben; he did not want to take such a great advantage of the man for free.

He intended to shoot Li Er in the leg or arm to demonstrate the authority of the Mirkovic family.

She longed for freedom, but compared to the safety of Chen Suisui, such things were trivial.

Just then, a figure flashed from behind Peony, and with a sweep of the long sword in hand, it transformed into a flash of light that met Lu Zhengxiong’s blade.

A figure emerged from the side and squeezed between Fiona, Veronica, and the black security guard.

The moment he saw this jewelry set, he felt it was suitable for Tan Yu, so he specifically bid on it.

Everything had been fine before, so why did things suddenly change toward her like this? The most heartbreaking thing in this world is nothing more than a change in attitude.

The look in those men’s eyes was self-evident, carrying an intense, erosive quality. Had it been any other day, she would have already flown into a rage.

Qu Wei looked at him and chuckled, "I'm just teasing you. Look at how scared you are; how could I be that kind of person, brother?"

Everything touched by the lightning, whether trees, soil, or stones, was reduced to fine powder without exception.

She hadn't seen them for a long time and missed them terribly. Watching them interact, Bai Qinghuan introduced them to Tang Yi one by one.

Thus, that pair of poor, innocent Pixiu became the target of his anger; the Crown Prince smashed them to pieces in a fit of rage, which even Tie Han felt was a great pity.

However, the person standing before the "Celestial Immortal" was dressed simply, though clean and neat; wearing an apron, carrying a half-worn oil-paper umbrella, reeking of kitchen smoke and fire, and biting into half a cucumber, he wore a look of utter, stunned stupidity.

A bead of sweat, almost invisible, appeared on Yong Jian's forehead. But he nodded calmly and agreed.

Yet, even so, it was not enough to calm everyone down; such things were truly maddening.

Looking at Shan Hengyuan, the people around him spoke with concern. Hearing this, Shan Hengyuan pondered deeply.

"Regardless, you did not see them set the fire or kill anyone with your own eyes; everything is merely your speculation."

"To ensure the Third Princess is absolutely safe, I will help the Princess consider other arrangements," Cheng Jia nodded.

The three people in front of the carriage had been aiming their bows and firing forward, but hearing the sound, they instinctively looked back. This moment gave Mo Renjie and his group their chance. First came the sound of a horse neighing; the horse pulling the carriage had been struck by two darts and collapsed to the ground.

Along the way, Gao Feng had been observing. Just as Li An said, there was no surveillance in the stairwell, but it was impossible for anyone to emerge from the stairwell without being captured by the surveillance on the floors.

Walking along this path, Chen Yuan had established an image of omnipotence in his mind. No matter how difficult a task was, once it fell into Chen Yuan's hands, the fatty would unconditionally believe that Chen Yuan would definitely have a way to solve it.
