Volume One, Chapter 41: Senior Brother Is Absolutely Gorgeous!

(Page 1 of 3)

Lu Xi looked at her. His heart was in turmoil, yet his face revealed nothing. He closed his eyes and drew in a shallow breath. Then his eyes shone like stars as he looked at her and asked in his usual gentle voice, “Do we know each other?” Every breath hurt him now; managing to force out those few words was already the limit of his strength.

This was also the question Qi Ming was most concerned about at present. He knew that some major change must have occurred to his master, but he did not know what it was. His master had left several fragments of his soul on this continent, yet none had possessed another body. That meant his master should still be alive—most likely trapped somewhere.

“Stop being glib. Hmph!” Wu Momo fell silent. She had heard about this young master from Leng Yueling; he was notorious for being a womanizer. So she simply decided that silence was golden.

The onlookers had long since surrounded the execution platform so completely that not even a drop of water could pass through. The crowd was buzzing with discussion, all of them talking about the Ye family’s former glory and its present ruin, sighing and lamenting over it. Ye Zhen, however, kept her eyes firmly fixed on the three people atop the platform.

I knew that if I did not retreat, Zhang Hu and Lin Hai would not retreat either, so I hurriedly dashed out of the private room, supported the third brother, and ran downstairs.

“Second Madam Lin, my cousin Hua and I fought in the bamboo grove behind the Elegant Thought Courtyard. If you do not believe me, you may go there and see for yourself.” Wei Changling cupped his hands lightly.

Cen Kexin ran on without ever looking back. At the time, she had felt no attachment whatsoever, and thus never turned around to take one last look at Cen Gang.

Master Cheng charged ahead. He was the most grief-stricken of them all. Elder Ji had been his senior; ever since he entered the Qin Emperor Sect, Elder Ji had been a revered and respected elder. But now… his heart was filled with rage, and all he wanted was to tear those monsters to pieces.

Lin Xiaohuan spoke with cutting words, yet her expression made it seem as though she were chatting warmly with her stepmother.

“It has been a long time, my dear son.” The man opposite him sat down and smiled faintly. In the morning light, he appeared so beautiful and unreal. Neither of them liked beating around the bush. Though this was their first time entering the shop so directly, neither found it strange. If a ghost was not open and honest, there was no need for you to be upright and aboveboard either.

Xiao Yao was completely unharmed. Instead, Su Geli, whom they had placed such high hopes in, was shaken backward again and again, nearly falling flat on his backside.

“You…” Xu Yingying was practically beside herself with rage. It was the first time she had discovered that her parents could be so utterly unreasonable.

As the head of the Xu family, Xu Qiansong had always possessed a keen eye for judging people. Although he had interacted with Xiao Yao only once before, he could tell that Xiao Yao’s identity and background were anything but ordinary. Otherwise, he would never have maintained such a close relationship with Dragon Soul, one of the country’s foremost special forces organizations.

Having said that, he glanced at the people gathered there eating together. They were all subordinates. As for that young master and Miss Meng, they were currently in a private room upstairs.

The fifth-tier sword was caught between the sawlike teeth of the fat-headed fish. It struggled desperately, but could neither advance nor retreat, its blade firmly clamped between the creature’s teeth.

There was also Shopkeeper Sun, as well as the husband and wife who ran Tian’s Medicine Shop. All of them had arrived together on the twenty-third.

After seeing Xia, I could only give a helpless, wry smile. This time, I had finally witnessed the impressive skills of my brother and sister-in-law—and in doing so, I had come to know my sister-in-law anew.

The department managers turned back and continued reporting to Ding Jiaojiao on the progress of the company’s projects, as well as the difficulties they had encountered.

After considering every possibility, the best solution seemed to be to lure the snake out of its hole. The crucial question was how to do it.

Hearing Dong Zhuo’s question, Li Ru let out a sigh as well. It would be fine if they could simply protect themselves, but Dong Zhuo clearly had no intention of giving up Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Che.

A chaotic flurry of blows resounded. The remaining Shanyue tribesmen were each beaten ten times before being thrown out.

During that period, while Lu Qiao’er was recovering from her injuries, Feng Wuqing had fallen into a true god of slaughter.

Although Da Bai was accompanying him, Ye Laijin was still uneasy. He repeatedly warned her not to go to remote places, not to get separated, and to head to Taifeng Tower if anything happened.

Zhou Yu, however, wore a mocking expression and showed no emotion toward these Romans whatsoever. Sun Ce displayed an even more arrogant air, remaining entirely unmoved.

“He says he wants to eat it, so you just buy it for him? Did you ask the doctor? Why do you indulge him like this? Lin Liyang, I have already told you—stop meddling in my family’s affairs!” she screamed at him hysterically.

After fifteen minutes, the Demon Emperor’s aura suddenly weakened. As he staggered backward, he spat out a mouthful of blood, then raised his head and roared furiously, “How can you possibly be this strong?! This is impossible—absolutely impossible! Looking back through ancient times, even the most powerful Dao Lords of the Divine Transformation Realm could never have possessed such combat strength!”

Some of the villagers seemed to have fallen under a demonic spell, attacking Feng Wuqing with frenzied violence. Only moments ago had Feng Wuqing finally stopped them.

At the time, Su Cheng had been possessed by the consciousness of an Evil God and carried a trace of its power. He had only managed to defeat it with the greatest difficulty.

Laws established by decree are useful to a certain extent, but there have never been any shortage of people who break or challenge them. Some possess unfathomable strength, some delight in exploiting loopholes, and some rely on connections. In truth, it is the same everywhere. When one is strong enough, clever enough, and possessed of sufficient willpower, shackles cease to be restraints and become nothing more than empty formalities.

The pain etched into Tai Dayong’s very bones seemed capable of bringing snow in the sixth month, moving Heaven’s compassion, and summoning a night of thunder and lightning. Yet aside from himself, no one could understand that sorrow, and no one knew of it.

Seeing the Heaven-Shaking True Lord display his might, the dozens of Golden Core cultivators present could not help cheering loudly. The Heaven-Shaking True Lord seemed encouraged by their enthusiasm and appeared eager to show off a little.

It was an early-spring night. The moon hung in the sky, though it was not bright, casting down a hazy glow. I glanced ahead. In the dim forest stood one grave mound after another, yet there was nothing unusual. I wandered around inside for several laps and still did not see the shadow of a single ghost. Frustrated, I wondered what was going on. Were even ghosts afraid of me?

Of course I knew Zhong Wuyan would not harm me. I put the pill into my mouth and swallowed it gently. The instant it went down, my entire body began to tingle, and I suddenly lost all feeling. Fortunately, my hearing and eyesight remained perfectly clear.

After presenting the VIP card issued by the Spiritstone Sect, everyone entered the auction house under the awe-filled gazes of the disciples of the Competition Sect and was assigned private room number thirty-eight.
