Volume 1, Chapter 47: Qingwei's Pursuit

"Brother Li, remember to bring the liquor. Tonight we must make merry to our hearts' content; without your high-proof liquor, the soul of the gathering is missing. You don't need to bring much, just a small flask will be enough to liven things up!" Chu Yun called out greedily from behind.

Chu Yun was aware that Li Xian had a child. However, he had never met Li Xian's wife, nor did he know what she looked like. As for the child, he had no particular interest in the matter, merely assuming that the little one named Xiao An was Li Xian's offspring, and he cared nothing for children anyway.

Li Xian smiled, shook his head, and headed toward the kitchen. There were times when one naturally needed to cater to others' preferences. After all, although he was the savior of the Prince Xian's Residence, he still needed to maintain a good relationship with Chu Yun's side.

Early the next morning, Tian Mu came over to Lin Yue and his companions' room once again, inviting them to tour around the city of Yan.

Qi, in Xize's understanding, was simply another term used by the imperial people for energetic particles, holding no other special significance.

Shortly after we came out, the corridor sealed shut once more. Daoist Yi Yun told us that there was no turning back, urging everyone to look around for perhaps another exit.

If the Emperor had not specially summoned him today, he would already have company for his meal right now, and pleasant company at that, enough to make several bowls of rice go down with ease.

"Xinhouru, you've really misunderstood. I genuinely want to protect your safety," the young man in white defended himself.

At this moment, informants were stationed all around the "Tower to Heaven," clearly keeping watch on Vileiga and the others. Xize exerted some effort to evade the watchers and successfully entered the "Tower to Heaven" hotel.

Su Le bought the groceries and returned. Seeing that Yechen and Elder Yun were still chatting away harmoniously, she let out a sigh of relief.

Over on Xize's side, aside from Old Wang who was older and had a milder temperament, everyone else wore angry expressions. One had to remember that they had just returned from carrying out a mission to wipe out the Geck-apes outside, having fought a hard battle. Before they could even calmly enjoy a couple of drinks, the military personnel had come over to push their weight around—who could possibly tolerate that?

"Liu Chuan, stop talking. There are some things you just need to listen to me about! I know you are deeply concerned about certain matters, such as the almighty figure sitting right beside us. I'm sure you'd love to know his origins!" Ying said.

Of course, the creature whose true name the world saw her invoke as the Sky Dragon was actually [Osiris the Sky Dragon].

After entering the city, Liu Yi and his companion were passing through the market when Qin Chaoyu was captivated by some pretty jewelry being sold there.

Once the Myriad Illusion Thunder Gathering incantation was unleashed, hundreds of cyan thunder swords floated vertically in mid-air, revolving around Lei Yuekong, while the thunder beast transformed into a sky full of lightning that filled the thunder-gathering array formed by the hundreds of cyan thunder swords.

"I'll take silence as tacit consent to enter then." After waiting a moment without receiving a reply, Ji Xueyan had to clear her throat to give herself an excuse to push the door open.

"Yang Bo, go to the convenience store over there and buy a few packs of Yitong instant noodles!" Yang Bo had stopped crying by this point, since there were outsiders present after all, wasn't that so?

As Xiaojie lifted his eyelids upward, Tornado clearly saw his golden eyes, with the black vertical pupils resting right in the center, possessing a uniquely bewitching charm.

Suddenly, a bright cyan light flashed across the twenty-four Azure Underworld Banners, and a strange force completely shook out the spiritual energy that had invaded them.

Yet the reason he had managed to maintain his position as the Second Prince until now was precisely because of his extraordinary talent; even with scarce resources, he was still able to suppress his younger brothers and stand proudly as the Second Prince, which was also the source of his arrogance.

"Woof!" Hearing this, Caesar seemed to understand. In the next instant, it flipped its dog face faster than turning a book, baring its teeth as it snapped forward to bite.

However, the most formidable power the Amazons could boast was naturally not so feeble. Several bizarre and fierce forces suddenly burst forth from the arrowhead, rapidly converging at a single point to pierce through the barriers of battle-aura and the cold-iron battle-axe, heading straight for Lewis's face.

The light from the corridor cast her graceful, swaying shadow right before him, leaving Yun Tianlan with a splitting headache. Behold the consequences of cleverness backfiring. He had pushed her into Jian Cangwu's arms, but far from protecting her, it had only placed her right at the eye of the hurricane. Had he known it would come to this, why would he have ever done it in the first place? He was filled with such remorse that he wished he could turn back time and start over.

This coffin had drifted from the far end of the Yanhuai River, floating all the way along its waters right into the city. Along the way, how many people had witnessed it with their own eyes?

With the battle momentarily over, Chen Yu felt a burning sensation all over his body, a pain most ordinary people could barely endure. He merely frowned, his reddened eyes fixing a glare upon the two figures stirring nearby. Staring them down, the two were instantly startled and eventually passed out cold.

Before long, the large pit on the ground grew from tens of feet across to a hundred, then rapidly expanded to several hundred and a thousand feet wide, with the excavation depth plunging ever deeper.

The two tacitly headed toward Building No. 2. As soon as they stepped inside, they could hear the faint murmur of voices speaking all at once, lively and bustling.

"What's so strange about it?" Lilin pouted, seemingly angry that Xiao Yun had ignored her when he first entered, clearly holding a grudge against him.

A Golden Core stage martial artist tentatively shouted a few times, but unfortunately, Zhang Lie was already frozen solid and utterly unable to speak.

After the scoring by the experts invited by Qin Yang, Qin Yang symbolically submitted the results to Wu Qianling and Hu Zhonghai to solicit their opinions. Naturally, Wu Qianling and Hu Zhonghai understood Qin Yang's intent; after briefly expressing their stance without altering the experts' scores, they handed it right back to Qin Yang.

Murong Yu pushed open the door with full confidence, only to find Princess Qinghe huddled in a corner sobbing softly, while Yuechu lay unconscious on the floor.

Thinking of the vast amount of alcohol he had just consumed, her heart skipped a beat. She hadn't even sorted out her own thoughts on the matter, let alone expect to reason with a drunk person.

So, this was the old fan the captain had specially gone out to find just so Gu Xi would have no excuse to refuse it?
