Chapter 63

Yet suddenly, Qin Yibai leaped up with a start as if she had seen a ghost, a look of profound astonishment plastered across her face. With a sudden flick of her right hand, she tossed the two pieces of iron she had been clutching straight onto the white jade stone table before her.

She had never expected the situation to evolve to the point of calling off the wedding; it truly was as she wished, with even the heavens lending a hand.

"There's no need for that much. Just calculate it based on the standard fees for other caregivers, and besides, I don't really want this money." Zhou Tian felt somewhat embarrassed, especially since she had offered her help entirely of her own accord.

Yet these inscriptions held profound mysteries within. One must first condense primordial energy into an engraving blade, etching the spiritual incantation onto the exterior of the star stones. The depth and thickness of the lines required an even application of force; all eight star stones had to be carved without the slightest variation in pressure, and only thus could the true might of this technique be manifested—and this was merely the external carving.

At this moment, He Shikang was completely misled by Qin Yibai's "things are simply thus" tone, and consequently found himself following her train of thought and asking accordingly.

It was tantamount to saying: You are bound to have displeasing interactions with other men, and I can forgive you, but could you at least ensure I do not have to witness it?

Although everyone said that this ailing man was not Lin Beiwei's biological father, Lin Beiwei could still feel the deep love he held for her.

Lin Youlin forced herself to calm down, her voice sounding as though it were being squeezed out from between her clenched teeth.

"——President Meng, the person you asked me to handle things for last time was arrested by the police. Might I trouble President Meng to help him secure a lighter sentence?"

Shu Xin thought to herself that this steamed fish was served as a whole, and if she were to taste a piece, it would likely ruin its pristine completeness.

Watching their faith being destroyed, to be honest, a great majority of the onlookers felt their hearts bleeding, even though they were kind-hearted souls! Countless people were muttering under their breath that it was human beings who were evil, while weapons were innocent... Yet placed in a magical world, this statement was light-years away from the truth.

"Didn't I give you your ring long ago?" Shen Yan smiled, slipping the rusty silver band onto his own finger, as if he could hear the sound of a fragile heart shattering.

"I said just now, without a proper reason, I cannot interfere in the actions of a noble. These are the rules, and I am a man who abides by rules, understand?" However, to Tatsumi's disappointment, Liu Tianyu did not grant his request.

Having just been reminded by someone, she finally realized that "Yan Shen" was none other than Shen Yan! It was merely a matter of the surname appearing before the given name.

Originally, failing to complete this mission and even exposing his identity meant he would likely face severe disciplinary action upon returning.

As for the world where the Orlando Academy was located, it should be called the Ariel world, or so Alex seemed to have casually mentioned earlier.

The remaining snipers were positioned around the periphery of this hillside. None of them carried firearms; they held only walkie-talkies.

Mubao nodded as he spoke. Once finished, without wasting any further time, he turned and walked toward the apartment building where Xu Jinhuan resided.

Naturally, when making introductions, Mubao did not use the real names of Mu Xiaoxiao and the others, but rather pseudonyms he had just conjured up.

After all, as far as this world was concerned, he was an outsider. Meddling and overstepping boundaries in this realm would easily draw the attention of this world's heavenly will.

Moreover, given Dream Divine Machine's status and standing, he had no reason to deceive him. If what he said was true, it was truly terrifying. To make an enemy of someone capable of foreseeing the future was hardly a wise choice.

In the stall on the front left, a bearded, whiskered man was arguing fiercely with the vendor, the two of them nearly coming to blows.

From the very dawn of enlightenment in the Dao of cultivation, the Feathering Sect had already been established. Having weathered numerous apocalyptic tribulations and dynastic upheavals, it still stood unshaken to this day.

Shao Heng halted his steps, his gaze locking onto Qing Wuwei and the others who had just revealed murderous intent. Yet he noticed that even when Xiao Yu approached them, these individuals did not shift their stance by a single inch.

However, this was largely because this ghost king had existed for at least a millennium, its cultivation having approached the Golden Core stage of a cultivator, making it naturally impossible for Ning Qingyun to rival it alone. Once she gained complete mastery over the Crimson Firmament Red Carp and learned to wield the spirit within its crimson gold-backed fish scales as effortlessly as her own fingers, it would naturally be a completely different story.

The apartment Ling Xiao rented had stood vacant for some time, and the furniture inside was somewhat outdated. Ling Xiao had just visited a furniture store to order some decorative pieces, which would be delivered shortly.

Any single primordial crystal could be said to be worth a king's ransom. If word got out that the Tie family's mine had yielded primordial crystals, it would inevitably trigger a bloody storm, with all the major factions vying for them at any cost.

Even the young man executing the technique could, at best, only choose the moment of self-detonation for a single ghost general, advancing or delaying the explosion by a fraction of time. To force a ghost general who had been artificially elevated to the Nascent Soul realm to revert to its original state was utterly impossible.

Good! It has come! It has truly come! Having held the position of a state governor for many years, this old man must have finally found my provocation utterly intolerable.

In truth, these eight prodigies of Longdan County all shared some degree of connection with the Koling family; otherwise, they would not have even had the opportunity to participate in the trials. Ordinary families were not even aware of Kolings, let alone trials for Koling aptitude.

"Alright, let us not dwell on this question any further. However, Taozhang, I hope you remember that we are all in the same boat—we do not abandon and we do not give up," Qi Zheng said sternly, clearly issuing a warning to Zhang Tao.
