Chapter 36

After returning to the dormitory, I realized that Ling Xue had already tidied up my room spotless. We chatted and laughed as we ate, and I briefly recounted what had happened with Fu Jiu, though I kept Wang Jing’s matter to myself.

As usual, after answering a few trivial questions for the magazine, Ye Xun’s interview wrapped up by evening.

Along the way, Ye Tian kept asking questions, gradually gaining a rough understanding of the current situation.

In a cold spring, a green flood dragon at the tribulation stage trembled as it respectfully presented the snow lotus it had protected for ten thousand years.

With so many harsh and meticulous conditions, it was almost impossible to make a spiritual artifact recognize a new master.

Gu Moli was momentarily stunned, then bitterly smiled and shook his head. If he were in his original form, this would have been a perfect chance to slip away unnoticed.

At the same time, he raised his other hand and, under the gaze of his two junior brothers, tightly grasped the delicate jade hand of the senior sister.

Fu Jiu frowned upon hearing my words. “At first, it was normal you couldn’t see us since you didn’t understand our situation, but after all this time, that doesn’t add up.” He moved closer, staring into my eyes, then suddenly tapped my forehead so hard I almost lost my balance.

Shi Bai continued absorbing Kexi’s flesh and blood, causing waves of intense pain. Kexi’s whole body curled up like a shrimp on the ground, writhing incessantly.

From the moment she first met him, she felt his aura was too heavy and thought he deserved more happiness.

Did you think I would make the same mistake twice? Pei Chenyang frowned tightly, his chest rising and falling in agitation.

A grand procession clad in unmistakably Cao family armor made it clear to everyone that the Cao clan had come to escort Lady Zhen back to Pengcheng to await her marriage.

“What should he do to you then?” Feng Qingyao pushed open the door and entered, placing the basin on the table, her gaze cool and steady.

Looking at Bai Fengjiao’s surprise and confusion, and at the trembling Third Prince who had just arrived, she felt a surge of amusement. Did she not realize this reaction was inappropriate for the current situation? She was so bad at acting and yet dared to scheme against him.

Frowning deeply, Yuan Yao slowly opened her eyes. Her sleepy gaze was tinged with anger, but when she saw Xia Mingxiu beside her, she blinked and withdrew the anger.

Watching from the sidelines, Zhuyu was at a loss, unsure what to say or do.

“There’s no other choice,” he said, forcing a smile as he left the marquis’s mansion with Gu Changci.

Within less than a morning, all the servants of Beishan Manor knew the new Third Madam had angered the Third Young Master and was physically reprimanded.

Before losing consciousness, she clearly realized that her feelings for Xiang Qin were genuine, but he had never reciprocated. From the start, he only intended to lure her into the city and send her to the research institute.

During the primordial era, Wang Ming knew too much; he longed to bring all treasures back to his home.

If the Sixth Battalion of the British Commonwealth was the ace of the British Army, then the Royal Tank Regiment—which had once faced off directly against the “Desert Fox” at El Alamein—was the ace of aces. The Sixth Battalion’s fame came mainly from a single delaying battle.

“Relax, you’re still young.” Hearing this from twenty-year-old Li Mu was somewhat strange.

Moreover, Li Mu had other means to distribute costs to others. The engineering was still handled by Junma Construction Company, which had plenty of profit opportunities, so there was no need to get stuck on a losing cause.

In fact, dealing with masters like Zhunti and Jieyin, who took disciples with such intensity, was quite manageable. Just let them know that their actions were ultimately counterproductive.

“A new criminal investigation consultant?” Wei Renwu put down his chopsticks, clearly intrigued by Lin Xingchen’s mention of the new development.

“I came to ask you about something else today,” Si Junhao interrupted her, his expression grim.

“Clean me up! I already bumped into him…” She stuck out her tongue sheepishly, relieved she hadn’t seriously hurt Leng Yifeng.

The Japanese government’s infringement on Junma Group’s legitimate rights also touched on American national interests, but to elevate it to the level of national security was a stretch. So even if Grant wanted to seek justice for Li Mu and Junma Group, war was not the route.

Like many years ago, in the silent classroom, only he and I were present, and the scent of youthful days filled the air.

In an instant, the Primordial God-Slaying Sword flew out from deep within Tan Yun’s mind, extending two hundred zhang before landing in his right hand.

More importantly, if Jin Fangtai were killed now, the entire Xu family would certainly harbor hostility toward him, leaving Xu Qingyun in a difficult position.

While vigilantly watching the corpse, he was even more wary of the black aura lingering on Nairuo’s hand.

Only after Ning Ke promised did the Empress’s expression soften, and the Emperor immediately ordered Ning Ke to detoxify her before investigating the origin of Jin Zhu.

Bessy had been here more than ten days but had yet to make any significant progress.

“You said your master’s only opponent was the Dark King, didn’t you?” Chen Fang immediately asked.

This involved the concept that one force could break all laws, as well as the idea of different paths leading to the same goal. Even if the worlds one comprehended were different, the ultimate aim was to enhance cultivation, evolve oneself, and the outward manifestation was merely a passage to the same destination.
