Chapter 62: How Should Zhao Ye Be Accommodated Tonight?
Shi Yi replaced her phone, yet could not bear to change her phone number. Deep down, she still harbored a faint expectation that the familiar number would appear on her screen once again, but ever since that night, Fei Liangyan's number never materialized on her phone.
When Lu Tong crawled out of bed, Sun Changjiang was already tidying up in Fei Liangyan's room. Thus, Lu Tong assumed that Sun Changjiang had grown tired of waiting for Shi Yi and had left first. Lu Tong walked out of the room to get some fresh air; Fei Liangyan had not returned for days. Lu Tong began to wonder whether she should continue staying here.
Philip took much longer to consider this time, seemingly forgetting to smoke the lit cigar.
Hearing this, Yan Feiyan walked up to the counter, placed a sum of silver coins on the table with an indifferent expression, and strode out the door. The people present felt bewildered, with only a very few knowing the reason behind it.
Terrifying turbulent qi surged upward. The two figures caught in the chaotic currents were like isolated leaves tossed in a violent storm under this dreadful onslaught.
"Father, I said it before: it is to safeguard our territory and bring peace to the people, to protect our fathers, mothers, and fellow townsmen from bullying and oppression," said Chen Ning.
Thinking of this, he felt that this trip was superfluous. He wanted to stand up and take his leave, but then recalled Lady Zhou's earnest words.
"Teacher Xue, we've been planning this surprise for you for a long time!" Xia Rui stepped forward and said to Xue Qiqi.
Adults have their topics of conversation, and children have theirs. Yet today, remarkably, they were all speaking of the exact same subject.
However, Lin Peng scoffed at Valentine's words and patiently continued waiting for Alice's call.
She suddenly rushed out into the rain. This abrupt action startled them all; Zuoqiu Xu and Xuanzhu hurried out into the downpour one after another, followed closely by Xiao Jifeng and Xiao Xunying.
Ghost Thorn and the other ghost assassin were left utterly speechless. To rob Yin of her money first and then hire them to assassinate Yin—what kind of bizarre game was this Li Jiang playing?
"I should have come sooner, but the estate has been rather busy lately and I haven't been able to find the time. Today, I happened to enter the palace to visit my imperial brother, so I dropped by to see you, beauty," Princess Shuning finished, and the attendants behind her presented several gift boxes.
To welcome the imperial carriage this time, Prince Guangping ordered that the commoners on the streets return to their homes early and refrain from wandering about casually. Those wishing to leave the city were required to depart in advance.
"I will lead you to the Barren Realm. As for the rest, rest assured, I will do everything in my power to stop Slaughter!" said the Realm Lord.
It must be remembered that the three young masters of the capital were the most elite scions who constantly vied with one another. For years, it had been difficult to determine a definitive victor. Naturally, Wu Jiang also hoped to gain broader support to suppress the other two young masters and become the undisputed supreme leader of the capital's younger generation.
If Yao Chuxi were to truly find out about this, the things she would send would amount to far more than this, and she might even follow along in grief.
The five of them resumed their search for high-tier divine emperor-level ferocious beasts. Along the way, they also encountered quite a few low-tier beasts, but Long Luo and his companions ignored them. Having been through the incident with Zhu Lingqing, Long Luo knew that it was best not to strike unless they encountered their actual target.
In truth, Gao Fei possessed no defensive array formation whatsoever, for he was not a member of any prestigious clan; he carried only an initiation token, and under such circumstances, Gao Fei had no time to activate it.
"What kind of reaction is that? Are you unhappy to receive my call?" Kim Myung-soo complained from the other end of the line.
"It's an event hosted by the Immortals Alliance. You aren't immortals yet, so you didn't receive the notification. But your husband here can take you to broaden your horizons, haha!" Lin Dong stuffed a fruit into his mouth, scooped up Ying Huanhuan and Ling Qingzhu in his arms, and laughed heartily.
Yet beneath Zhang Shaozhu's outward pretense of rest lay far more critical matters. After all, the entity he was currently dealing with might not be ordinary, and these rookies might not only prove unable to withstand it but could also bring unnecessary trouble to the affair.
However, Yu Hao surmised that the matter pertained to the Demon God, perhaps an epic clash between the Demon God and the Black Tortoise.
"Alright, everyone, hold this mountain depression with me! If the devils want to reach the regimental headquarters, they must pass through this place!" roared Yang Fei.
Seeing the elders unite to denounce Gao Fei, Bai Rufei and Ma De were immensely pleased. It mattered little if they suffered a minor grievance, so long as Gao Fei was severely punished.
Sun Wukong was born from a stone that mended the heavens, inherently gathering the essence of heaven and earth, and was furthermore endowed with the destiny of the Heavenly Dao. That was why he was able to cultivate into an immortal within the span of a decade or two.
Whether it was Gao Fei or Jiang Qilong, both believed they would never meet again. In reality, however, not only did the two meet again, but a series of events unfolded between them, until in the end, parting ways became an impossibility for them both.
Yet Ding Wei had actually suffered a loss. This left Yu Fei utterly baffled and filled with doubts.
Liu Lishan marched ahead with her backpack, stepping briskly in her clack-clack heels. Looking at Liu Lishan, who had deliberately worn sky-high stilettos just to see her today, Shi Yi suddenly felt a deep sense of pity for her. Pregnant and still wearing high heels—was she not afraid of suffering a miscarriage?
The red-haired man casually snatched a plump, swimming fish and shoved it directly into his mouth. In two or three bites, he swallowed the flesh, bones, and visceral organs down into his stomach all at once.
With her delicate brows slightly furrowed, she continued to inquire: "Where is the estate doctor of Prince Gong's Mansion?" The Imperial Hospital fell under the Emperor's jurisdiction; if the events of those years had been deliberately covered up, it must have been at the Emperor's behest.
Indeed, with age comes cunning. This toad was truly deserving of having eaten far more salt than she had eaten rice! If it weren't for the fact that it valued her unique ability to purge darkness, would it have protected her for no reason at all?
Chen Yi was struck with sheer terror. Spirit and spirit beast—a difference of a single character, yet the distinction between them was as vast as heaven and earth. It was hard to say which of the two was stronger, but once transformed into a true spirit, the creature could begin practicing Qi cultivation, freed from the restrictions of bloodline rank, and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth just like humans.
Si Yan paid no mind to the Consort Shu's sarcastic tone. Rising to her feet, she said, "Since that is the case, this daughter-in-law will take a stroll in the courtyard." With those words, she flicked her handkerchief and walked away.
Liu Lishan hurriedly stood up, found her clothes, threw them on haphazardly, and ran to the door to open it. As the door swung wide, Fei Liangyan's anxious face came into view.
While successfully blocking the ten-fragrance attack, the two inexplicably began exchanging idle banter. Their previous behavior of mutual disdain and undermining each other felt utterly surreal, like a dream.
Cui Feng had not yet ceased his assault; the Chao Yu thumb ring burst with radiance, and a giant figure materialized. Under the dual enhancement of the Sound-Manifesting Technique and the Mountain-Shaking Bracers, the red and blue glow was unprecedentedly brilliant. The colossal figure began frantically swinging its fists; flames and water arrows raged wildly, the earth trembled, and the trees not far away shuddered violently.
