Volume 1, Chapter 22: Does Qin Qianyue Want a Secret Rendezvous with Shen Yi?

Whether it was the scent of blood or the fact that those strange birds had spotted Tang Guo, they let out cawing cries and charged straight at her.

Looking at Liu Dachuan, he was grinning foolishly at the silver ingot, but suddenly, as if remembering something, he hurriedly took out the blueprint to study it.

"I know. The formation amplifies the obsessions hidden deep within your heart, allowing you to see her past. Though you never say it, I know you have always missed your mother." Jiang Xiuting’s voice was gentle, as if he were afraid of startling me.

What made it even more infuriating was that the Marquis’s residence had taken advantage of the Gu Duke’s estate lacking a mistress to bully Gu Jinnin, treating her like a soft target. This was beyond intolerable.

Yet, unexpectedly, even in my dreams, there was Jiang Xiuting. It was like a chaotic battlefield, invading and permeating my sleep, leaving me unable to catch my breath.

"Why should I care about what she thinks?" Gu Nanxi didn't care at all about how she was perceived by those people.

The heavy, salty taste of blood in her mouth was unbearable, making her wonder if she had actually bitten off her own tongue.

Under the morning light, the two of them embraced tightly. Though each had their own thoughts, it was unexpectedly harmonious.

"Put me down, I can go wash up myself." Gu Nanxi was much clearer-headed now. She wriggled free from Xiao Ran’s arms and walked into the bathroom.

When she looked back at Ling Xiao, she unexpectedly caught sight of an unfamiliar figure standing not far behind him, appearing from out of nowhere.

Just as he was about to charge forward and attack again, Ning Hong emerged from the Qiongshui Palace with a look of helplessness. This thing possessed immense strength; although it could not breach the space of the Qiongshui Palace, the vibrations were agonizing.

The Great Heavenly Venerate’s immortal body was twenty feet tall, towering like a mountain. The youth, however, stood only nine feet tall, yet as they locked gazes, he did not flinch in the slightest.

Ning Zhan watched the scene, his eyes a mixture of joy and worry, silently praying for his grandson.

Tuoba Yang did not answer, merely ordering that no one should act rashly without instructions, assuring them that he would be safe and sound.

"How ruthless. What on earth does this mean?" Ning Hong could not help but be moved. To kill even one's own teammate left him baffled. He glanced at Cheng Yugui, but saw no change in his expression; it was as if all of this had been within his expectations.

He had remembered many people, yet only now did he remember her. It was inevitable that his heart was filled with a sense of loss and sorrow.

No wonder everyone on the sixty-sixth floor feared him so much. It was hard to imagine what other mysterious and terrifying identity this guy had behind him, aside from being part of the Xiao Long organization.

Du Yueqiu’s eyes grew moist. If only that incident five years ago hadn't happened, everyone would have been happy, right?

"The Immortal Realm and the Floating Slaughter Immortal Realm are unprecedentedly unified in their stance on the 'Hengding' strange immortals, dismissing them as heretical and unorthodox paths."

"Grandfather, it’s not like that. We were just about to bring it over to you." He argued anxiously on his sister's behalf.

Strange muttered to himself, not daring to delay for a second, and ran directly toward the source of the final impact.

"Don't worry, Auntie. Once I pass the imperial examination, I will certainly repay every cent owed to sister Xue'er."

Captain America was, of course, referring to Black Panther. Although Wayne had previously abandoned him and his close friend Bucky in the freezing snow, the kind-hearted King was not as cold-blooded as he appeared.

A single cold snort held such terrifying power; it was hard for everyone to imagine just how formidable the Emperor would be if he truly took action.

The day of the great battle arrived. Compared to the nervousness of the others, Luris was somewhat eager to test his mettle.

"Yes and no. First, I am here on my mother’s behalf to invite you once again. You must attend the banquet she is hosting. This is something she has repeatedly urged me to do."

"You ask this palace to spare you? Consort Shu, do you recall what I told you not long ago? It seems you have completely disregarded my words."

The group behind them had noticed everything that had happened from the start. As soon as Hua Wuhen asked, someone couldn't help but tease them.

Having deceived the teacher who had raised her like her own, Yun Xuan kept her head bowed, not daring to meet her eyes, while Shirley continued to look at her with a kind, maternal smile.

"It’s been so long since we’ve felt the river breeze like this. Let’s walk a little longer today, shall we, Ah Yue?" Jiang Yu’er said, smiling happily as she linked arms with Murong Yue.

At the thought of this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. It was just too damn terrifying.

Bai Jinxiu was to be executed in three days. Those three days would allow me to do many things, but I didn't want the monk following me. Because when he was with me, I always felt as though my fate had been pre-arranged, so I bluntly ordered the monk to leave.

I scanned the area briefly, then looked straight at Hu Sanpang, telling him in a calm voice that it didn't matter as long as he was satisfied.

This was the Human Grave, the most dangerous place on the Continent of Divine Blood. Yet, there is a natural rule in this world: just as there is no path without a way out, there is no place without a path to survival.

Xiao Hanyan witnessed this scene. The young man’s movements mirrored the thoughts she had had after seeing her own projection, only the young man lacked a guard like Yun Qian to stop him. It was at this moment that Yun Qian’s voice came once again.

"The problem shouldn't be too big this time. We should go to a place of good feng shui to look for solitary or rare chrysanthemums; perhaps we'll make a new discovery there!" Luo Yi said with a smile.

There were very few people on this rural bus, or perhaps it was the off-season. Besides the driver and the conductor in the front, there was only myself and Bai Jinxiu.

The dark red cigarette butt flickered in the darkness. The air was filled with the pleasant scent of tobacco, appearing so mysterious, warm, and romantic.

If she could decide for herself, she would naturally be willing to facilitate a good match, and she might even gain a reputation for prioritizing the greater good and sacrificing for the country.

Chen Yu looked at Ming Yanran in confusion, muttering to himself that he must ask her clearly later what was so special about this constitution that it would make someone like Tuoba Tianyu disregard his status to snatch her away.

Facts proved that the war beasts of the Nature Guardians had no intelligence; otherwise, everyone would have strived to become a Master of Nature. Only upon reaching that rank would the war beasts gain intelligence and the ability to communicate with humans.

The sword was no ordinary sword, and the man was certainly no ordinary man! Chen Yu looked at the young warrior in black with astonishment, never expecting this youth to possess such exquisite swordsmanship. Within this strike, there seemed to be a power hidden that moved the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, making it sharper and vastly different from the strength of an ordinary person.

Fairy Luo looked up at the sky, then glanced at the passage. She could not help but show a look of disappointment, and a moment later, she shook her head. It seemed she had overestimated that man; she had not expected that he wouldn't even be able to reach the landing stage.
