Volume 1, Chapter 63: The Mysterious Origin Water-Control Flag, the Nether Blood Sea Formation

Even so, the four swords of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array and the accompanying diagram, though forged after birth, remained the true Immortal-Slaying Swords and Array Diagram.

Hearing this, Wei Yi shrugged his shoulders, turned to look at Yunmeng Feixiang, and said calmly, "You mean you are unwilling to agree? No, you will agree." As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curved into a confident smile, as if he had absolute certainty that Yunmeng Feixiang would not refuse.

After a final tally, the total came to exactly 350,001 taels. Zou Xigui was dumbfounded—Heaven truly loved to play tricks; how could there happen to be precisely one extra tael?

The soldiers present remained silent. Even the Director of the General Political Department lowered his head, not daring to meet the gaze of the Chief of the General Staff. Xu Chenglong beckoned Tang Bai over and whispered something in his ear. Tang Bai's expression turned somewhat peculiar for a split second, but he quietly slipped out of the conference room.

The call came from Wei Han, who had been promoted to the head of the Fifth Division of the Second Department of the General Staff. He informed An Nianrong that the "European Star Project" mission had been successfully completed. According to the original plan, the contact person and all relevant materials had been brought back to the country and would be processed immediately.

Bacchus's domain space instantly began to shrink and shudder. A blinding pale light forced Principal Kidd to shut his eyes, unable to open them. When his vision finally returned, he found himself standing in an open clearing at the foot of the Demon-Sealing Mountain behind Linde College.

Upon hearing this, Zen Master Guanghui was overjoyed and exclaimed, "So it is Master Baode who has arrived! Attend to him well, and I will be right there." The monk acknowledged the command, bowed, and withdrew.

"Thank you." After digesting the shock in her heart, Rofimina finally regained her composure to thank the princess, while the stone that had been weighing heavily in her chest finally settled somewhat.

Finally, Qin You suggested, "Why don't we go to the mall and look at some jewelry? I saw you liked Sister Xu's pair of jade bracelets. Let's go see if there are any styles you like." I thought of those lustrous, glowing jade bracelets and felt tempted. "Alright, let's go then."

I listened quietly with a smile, refraining from interrupting, prompting Uncle Hai to praise me for having the poise of a seasoned general, just like his brother Qian.

As soon as Bai Qi's voice fell, his left hand rested upon Xue Yuehen's elixir field, and a ball of blood-red true fire was pushed directly into it by Bai Qi.

Illuminated by the beam of light, the bodies of the bottles seemed to dance with golden particles. Several alcohol lamps heated conical flasks, inside which brightly colored liquids bubbled and roiled, making gurgling sounds and emitting faint, wispy vapors of various hues.

During the banquet, they likely discussed matters concerning the wedding. Consequently, new groomsmen and bridesmaids would need to be found for Zhu Zhu and Lin Guozi.

The Empress Dowager and the maids Chun, Xia, Qiu, and Dong could not help shedding tears; only Consort Jing remained numb, her face entirely devoid of expression.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. I'm from Henan, a country girl, how could I ever be sisters with someone like you?" Zhu Zhu displayed the genuine, unpretentious self-doubt characteristic of a rural girl.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, a streak of dawn light flashed across. Fulin's phantom was gone. It was Ma Bao. It could only be Ma Bao.

"Demon... a demon..." Those Flame Planet inhabitants watched Lin Ming's overwhelming combat power in horror, realizing they were reduced to a state where even escape was completely impossible.

Lu Zhi acknowledged the order and lifted his foot to leave, the eager excitement in his heart inexplicably transforming into a lingering anxiety. Though he had not figured out what to say, he instinctively looked back, wanting to offer his third brother a word of caution. Yet, upon seeing the teasing smile playing at the corner of Prince Ning's lips, he angrily clamped his mouth shut and stayed silent.

Dreams are truly wonderful, yet life is as harsh as an endlessly greedy ghost, draining away countless of our beautiful hopes.
