Chapter 61: Chi Guiying's Difficult Situation

Because of the recent conversation with Chu Linlan, Shen Lie began to look at him with a new light.

Still maintaining his spear-wielding posture, Wang Yi differed from before as his aura had visibly surged by a large margin, and his previously fierce power had taken on an increasingly overbearing edge.

Beneath the large tree in the courtyard, Nan Moqian watched the shadowy figure that had suddenly materialized before her, and sank to her knees.

Without waiting for Chu Ling'er's reply, she stepped forward in a single stride, grabbed Lan Yichen by the collar to haul him up, and delivered a sharp slap across his face.

Supan sensed that something was amiss and quietly warned Bayu never to open the door. Yet, the tightly closed wooden door creaked open on its own, and almost simultaneously, a dark object was hurled from the outside, landing with precise accuracy right beside Supan.

"Leave those two peak-Xuanxang-tier nine Gryphon magical beasts to me; the rest is up to you four," Wang Yi said, fixing his gaze squarely on the two five-meter-long Gryphon beasts hovering at the very top.

Nuo Yi shook his head, the violent impact of the mecha having left him slightly dizzy. Considering this was merely a training session, reaching such an intensity was more than sufficient.

Faced with He Yifei's sarcasm, Wu Man'er had temporarily set aside her desire to deliver salvation to all living beings. With every strike she unleashed, she forced the desolate beasts blocking her path to pay a horrifying price.

Actually, being an undead being isn't so bad after all—provided you possess the immense strength required to truly appreciate it.

Though Lady Nian caught sight of Ji Wanrong during every morning greeting, she truly failed to leave any lasting impression.

Even though the surroundings remained completely still, he still dared not make any rash movements, terrified that the pair had not left but were instead lurking somewhere in the shadows to observe.

Zhao Ting cast a spell to probe the surroundings, then leaped onto the back of the thunder bat and embraced Luo Yi. "Let's go, I'll take you for a spin in the Celestial Palace!" Hearing the command, the thunder bat flapped its wings, transforming into crackling electricity as it sped toward the divine palace.

What was it he had said again? Make it public first, and once the hype died down and they each found someone they truly loved, they would break up?

Finding her face deathly pale and her eyes tightly shut, completely stained with blood, she looked just like a blood-draped figure.

"Are you feeling a bit better?" Yinzhen stepped forward, carefully adjusting Ji Wanrong's slightly slipped cloak, and reached out to tie the silk ribbons beneath her chin with earnest concentration.

Having finally managed to suppress her cough, she raised her eyes to look at Shang Jingyu, only to find that Ye Qingyan was watching her as well.

"What are you doing?" Ding Wan grew nervous the moment she saw Zhang Kun, and Xia Hong naturally stepped forward to shield Ding Wan behind him.

Turning to look, he discovered black Qi churning wildly through the mountain range below, with the abyss he had fallen into lying right at the center.

"The Mohist leader is known as the 'Blade Madman'—a truly illustrious reputation," Ming Yueting's voice suddenly rang out.

After a short while, Bessemer returned and now stood directly before Navis.

It could not be said that Chen Wei coveted the power and wealth of the Lian family; Tan Rui knew that Chen Wei had ambitions and disdained stooping to social climbing or living off a woman.

Though she knew the other party possessed aspirin, she still found it awkward to ask directly. This man was clearly far more complicated than simply being cast out by Xuanli, and raising unnecessary suspicions would only prove counterproductive.

Murong Qingqing, the Feathered Serpent God, Lin Hu, Ying, Ye Qianqiu, Li Er, Asad Paleim, two Drop-head Spirits promoted to the nine-star peak and simultaneously elevated to one-star nobility, along with several generals, all arrived in succession.

The border, the ancient caves, the seals of the gods, and the dark rivers all emerged beneath the bright sunlight of the heavenly realm, yet the world itself remained a dark place.

The oppression of refugees by private militias was no secret, and this explanation sounded plausible enough. However, before he could finish speaking, Leshan drew a pistol from his pocket and aimed the muzzle straight at his head.

It is a pity that such a simple truth escapes many people, who constantly grow impatient and desperate to buy at the bottom.

He was assigned to keep watch during the first half of the night, while Bai Ye took a gulp of water and turned in early. He felt utterly exhausted that day—not physically, but mentally.

Shuying caught a glimpse of the white-robed youth Chongchao out of the corner of her eye, thinking to herself that after adoring her elder sister for all these years, surely he knew she wasn't the murderer.

The distance of fifty paces could be covered in an instant by Wei Yu running at full speed. As he sprinted, he drew his sword, aiming a single strike straight at Qin Changhu's throat.

Li Qiao pouted, looking somewhat displeased at Qi Cai, but nevertheless walked over to him and threw herself into his arms.

Engaged in heated discussions, the crowd walked out of the screening hall, many immediately pulling out their phones to purchase tickets.

If anyone was to blame, it could only be these eyes of his that could hardly be considered friendly, invariably projecting a dangerous and fierce gaze no matter what he looked at.

At that moment, however, I had no idea that the fellow called Chenxi was also harboring thoughts about our village.

When Night Anmian received Su Yuanyuan's phone call, she had just suffered another ruthless rejection from Bai Moqing after asking him out yet again, leaving her in a foul mood.

The moment they departed, Huang Yu immediately collapsed into a seat, letting out a long sigh of relief. He had been terrified out of his wits for the past half-day.

Night Jinglan came to a halt, pressed the body wash dispenser once more, and then directly cupped her towering softness, kneading it vigorously.

Their most precious treasure was naturally the Zero-Seven Real-Time Mai, though in his eyes, this spiritual vein of energy amounted to absolutely nothing.

Sensing that her strength was completely spent, Night Jinglan set her down, spun her around to face the tree, and pressed his body fiercely against her, entering her from behind.

Su Yiyao had originally thought such matters were mere jests that no one needed to take to heart, but now it seemed as though everything had shifted. Even if she could articulate her position clearly, it might not change a thing.

Yet that sword Qi clung to him like a shadow; no matter how he dodged or fled, he could not shake it off.

This shadow guard commander was around forty years old and reportedly once saved Li Xiaogong's life. Logic dictated that once peace was restored across the realm, he could have been appointed as an eighth-rank captain or so. Yet he preferred to regard himself as a household bondservant, refusing to become an official no matter what, and instead stayed on in the Prince of Hedong's residence as a retainer akin to a domestic vassal.

A few days later, the matter was finally settled: Qin's title remained unchanged, but his official rank was stripped down to the very bottom. The post in Liaodong was temporarily assigned to Pei Xingjian, while Xu Jie, owing to his merits in slaying the enemy, was finally promoted from a company commander to a grand general rank, enfeoffed as a Marquis, and thus placed on par with his old comrade Su Dingfang.

Does this mean Li毅 and the others made the trip for nothing? I was about to call Li毅 and tell him to come back when I realized I hadn't brought my phone with me when I left. Hesitating for a moment, I ultimately gave in to my curiosity and decided to push the door open to take a look inside first.

Before departing, Wei Zheng repeatedly urged Qin to reconsider his decision no matter what, promising to discuss it with him again upon his return.
