Volume One, Chapter 31: The Butcher Legion, God of War Bai Qi!

Yu Meixue paused, savoring the word "benefactor" which she had finally heard clearly this time. Narrowing her eyes, she wondered to herself, had that child of hers gone behind her back to pull off some incredible stunt again? Had she taken risks? Was she injured?

One cannot blame Xiao Yan for his indifference. In this world, the strong prey upon the weak, and countless people perish every day. Must he offer help to everyone who dies? Natural selection and survival of the fittest—one must possess such awareness in a world of fantasy.

At the mention of Imperial Concubine Rong, Noble Consort Niohuru recalled the scene at Daning Abode, feeling intense hatred in her heart. Yet, her reason remained, and she immediately dismissed the thought.

Desires can be managed on one's own; one does not perish without others. Otherwise, what difference would there be between humans and beasts?

Beside Liang Xuan, Wen Shi’s eyes had widened the moment he heard the name Yiling. Now, watching his boss’s generous demeanor, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Jian Yao suddenly grew angry, his magnetic voice turning sinister. He loomed over her, his tall frame pressing down, his face so close to hers it was as if he were about to kiss her.

After neatly dressing the final wound, Ji Mo patted the drooping head of Black Whirlwind. He packed away his instruments and, not minding the beast’s filth, scooped it up. Man and wolf set off once again.

There is no banquet that does not come to an end. Several of the people he had met when he first arrived all those years ago had already departed.

To avoid any oversights, and fearing that the enthusiastic onlookers might have misidentified the person, Shen Yue stubbornly ordered a city-wide investigation. To find the person, he was determined to scour Fengzhou inch by inch.

Initially terrified by the prospect of fleeing once more, she felt the tightly coiled spring of her nerves gradually loosen thanks to the two-week reprieve.

After all, her actions had been far too violent! With such an enormous appetite, anyone would watch with curiosity; it would be strange if they did not.

"We are a team now, even if just for the moment, so there is no need for thanks," Lu Feiyang said, waving his hand.

Moreover, looking at Zhou Li, it seemed she was still unaware of the truth, having been deceived by her own husband all along. It was a pity she dared to praise Zhang Guan’s company so vocally, failing to even understand the person sleeping beside her every night.

"The Three Elders of the North Island, those three old geezers from the island nation!" Lu Feiyang sensed a flicker of fury in Zhang Yao’s eyes.

The outside world remained bright and sunny; the sky was an eternally pristine azure, and below lay the bustling city, filled with the temptations of glitz and glamour.

"How is this fellow even better at wandering than I am? I wonder what acquaintances he might have encountered? He said he was taken as a disciple by Uncle Huang when he was in his teens; could it be someone from the past..." Wei Yan’s mind raced with wild thoughts, but he couldn't help but offer a wry smile immediately after.

"The Abbess’s swordsmanship has truly opened my eyes." Esdeath spoke the truth. The One-Armed Divine Nun’s technique was executed entirely through the methods of hidden weapon mastery; it was a novel path indeed, and highly worth studying.

Gu Xiaobei was startled by Chen Shuang’s words, as if Li Haonan were about to appear at any moment. She stopped trying to sleep and hopped out of bed. Thanks to Li Haonan’s timely treatment, the swelling in her foot had subsided, though she still limped, unable to put full weight on it.

Xu Zhe’s consciousness instantly entered the gravel palm, following the sand fox’s intent to search for its hiding spot.

"Bang!" Another loud noise erupted, and the Red Demon was sent flying once more, crashing heavily into the iron cage.

Now, Li Yalin only knew that his mission to recruit for the "Cute Collapse" group had been successfully completed. Until those runaway old members were found, he at least had five new prospective members, saving him from the status of a one-man army.

He had felt a tinge of regret after letting Tuanzi take away Qin and Xianglin; after all, he wasn't particularly fond of seeing girls being brainwashed.

Among these, Kongsang County, originally belonging to the Liusha Kingdom, required even more effort to win over the hearts of the people, ensuring that the local populace remained aligned with the Southern Frontier Protectorate.

Huo Zizheng was restless even in his sleep. He pulled her into his arms, then rolled over to press her down, trapping her completely within his embrace. His thin lips brushed against her forehead, and his breath was hot, tinged with the scent of wine. Her tears couldn't help but fall, though Huo Zizheng, murmuring in his sleep, felt nothing.

"Go back to the manor and rest," Emperor Jingming waved his hand at Chu Zhengchu. There would be plenty of times for this man to toil in the future; he should seize the chance to rest while he still could.

The young man was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with upright, classical features, yet his face was etched with the weariness of the world.

The disadvantages Li Yalin faced were clear to the surrounding ninja girls. Because of this, their mood grew urgent, and they vied to unleash their respective signature ninjutsu, hoping to provide support for him.

"Hui-Blood Void-Breaking Pill, I hope you have an effect on my Blood Dragon Phenomenon Dantian!" With a deep sigh, Lin Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground and swallowed the pill.

However, Xi Jiao did not want to stay for even seven days. He had been well taken care of by Shen Qielan’s arrangements, living with the relatives of one of Shen’s subordinates. They treated him as their own, and he was actually happier there than he had been at the Xi manor.

After saying this, she felt she was being somewhat ungrateful, as Xu Jiao-Yuan had specifically run to the Zou manor to stand up for her.

Tong Zhengrong stated the facts truthfully; these details would be briefly introduced in the medical base’s internal system.

Fei San remained to look after Angela. He had also instructed Fei San to notify him immediately if anything happened. Fei San agreed; in truth, Fei Di was overthinking it, as Angela was very quiet at the hotel.

Luo Jihan’s eyes narrowed, and he let out a cold snort at the purple-robed cultivator speaking some ten yards away. His gaze then swept over Chen Yun, Bai Ruli, and the others. Chen Yun and Bai Ruli immediately felt a chill wash over them.

"Alright, Yun’er must have had her own reasons. Besides, whether Yunxuan oppa is Yun’er’s biological brother or not doesn't matter to us. Let’s just treat him as our own brother!" Taeyeon waved her hand, speaking up to help Yun’er out of the awkward spot.

"Then may I walk around here and enjoy the scenery of this place? Why is the sky so low? It feels like we are thousands of feet up!" Once Mu Yuchen was out of her predicament, her curiosity and bold nature emerged without pretense once again.
