Volume 1, Chapter 48: Long Sleeves Dragging, Stirring Pearls and Jade (Part 1)

Inside the grotto, tiny specks of fluorescent light—fragments of crystal rock emitting a faint glow—revealed Liyang’s tightly furrowed brows. Before him were three tunnels, and from each of them, the lingering spiritual energy fluctuations of three members of the Anyi Sect could be felt.

As soon as Su Fang woke up, Cao Hai had immediately informed her of the fact that Cao Ge and Li Jing'er shared a son.

Feeling the indescribable pain brought by these fluctuations as they impacted his flesh, blood, tendons, and bones, Liyang instinctively wanted to resist, but the Taiyi Cauldron sent a voice transmission just in time to stop him.

Having a background in cultivation, Zhang Qianyi understood instantly what was happening. There were ghosts—truly ghosts, and more than one. Yet, she had no need to worry; these ghosts were protecting her.

"Go out and ask the young madam to come over," Cao Ge withdrew his gaze, which had momentarily been filled with doubt regarding Yu, and refocused his attention on the computer screen. Watching the fluctuating data and the rising and falling red and green lines, he felt a thrill somewhat akin to the roller coasters adults loved to ride—exiting and intense.

When the news of Zhao Guoliang’s suicide reached the temporary imperial quarters, Liu Jun merely nodded in acknowledgment and remained silent for a long time. Zhao Guoliang was a fine young man, one of the earliest to follow him—brave, clever, and fortunate enough.

The lieutenant colonel was willing to let Vlad go, but that did not mean everyone was content to let the Fire Dragon gang leave just like that.

Suddenly, the operating room lights went out. Li Jing'er reacted instantly, rushing toward the doors to anxiously await the emergence of the attending physician.

Before his attack could even be launched, Straw Hat let out a cry of startled disbelief as his body was directly blown away by the threads manipulated by Doflamingo.

At that exact moment, Liyang caught a sound amidst the various chaotic noises that piqued his interest, and he began to listen intently.

Lin Yaoyao would never have believed in a million years that Lin Haiye would pull such a stunt. Had Dong Hao not stumbled upon it, she probably would have been kept in the dark indefinitely.

However, to go and rescue them would require more than half of the Sword Sect’s elders to set out en masse, and it was highly likely that more than half of them would perish.

By this time, Mama Chen had already gone to the supermarket to shop. Qin Kexia found a package of prepared traditional Chinese medicine in the kitchen drawer, grabbed a random pack, and drove to a very famous traditional Chinese medicine hospital in the northern part of the city.

For a supreme prodigy at the Heaven-Defying Fate Reversal realm to tear apart a Longevity Stage tier-one Eternal Life realm expert with their bare hands was enough to move the world to sing praises.

Passing by the classroom, he abruptly stopped in his tracks. As a recognized young genius in the medical field, he was exceptionally sensitive in many regards. With just a single glance, he determined that someone had been using illicit drugs here.

Current labor laws might not be able to do much to them, but Yang Luo could easily make a fuss out of the matter, using the pressure of public opinion to condemn them with the ultimate goal of making it impossible for them to remain in Rongcheng.

Chu Nanxiang began clearing people out. She had no desire to earn any more strange nicknames from the villagers; Consort Fu? Pure nonsense. What good fortune did she have to marry into nobility? It was far more reliable to honestly earn money and run a medical clinic.

She felt she must have lost her mind. What kind of chaotic nonsense was she filling her head with all day long, especially when facing Huo Chengyao? If this man ever found out about the messy thoughts in her mind, wouldn't he just crack open her skull to see what kind of logic was hidden inside?

Though deeply moved inwardly, they did not pay it too much heed. For young powerhouses like Wang Zhen and Jiang Xinyi, who were reserve gold-tier talents for various factions, possessing such strength was entirely expected.

Qin Kexia was in a state of turmoil. Her period seemed to be late this month. Her hand, resting by her side, slowly clenched into a fist. No, that couldn't be. She had consistently taken contraceptive decoctions; she couldn't possibly be pregnant.

"Coming, coming!" Longhui’s hearing was so sharp from afar that he came running and shouting repeatedly.

However, Lian Xiang’s spiritual power did not dare approach too close to 9527. He watched as 9527 entered the sect of the Emperor Xingtian, and shortly afterward, flew out carrying the Bixue Hanyan flame.

"Good." A single word forced its way out of his throat. Bolui shifted his cramped, sharp, sword-like gaze slightly to the side. "Since you refuse to state who you are, then... I shall say it for you." After a pause, his tone abruptly plummeted, carrying the dull and heavy weight of gold and jade striking together.

"Your Royal Highness, where are you?" Jin Sheng rushed quickly into the room, only to see Luo Lin sitting on the ground with wide eyes. Initially, he thought something terrible had happened, and it was only after shaking her that she finally snapped out of it.

Just then, as the red light grew blindingly bright, a formidable and palpable power became visible. At that very moment, Chu Youran’s expression turned solemn, her brows twitching as an unprecedented sense of unease rose in her heart.

As for the synopses of each life, Jia Nan will write them after the book is completed; otherwise, it would constitute severe spoilers.

The Qitian Saber automatically flew into Lian Xiang’s grip, and instantly, Lian Xiang felt a sensation of shared blood and pulse.

After Xin Lang became the "Lord of the Desire Realm," the gamer intended to reboot the game, erasing all of Xin Lang’s lovers and brothers. In a fit of rage, Xin Lang broke out of the game's virtual world through his gaming helmet, usurped the gamer's body, and became a denizen of the Heavenly Court.

Adjutant Luo had returned home the previous night, but just as dawn broke, he received a call from the general affairs office informing him that the Fourth Master had ordered the sentries to be withdrawn. Utterly astonished, he rushed over immediately, only to find that the guard detachment had already pulled back, leaving behind only a few men in plainclothes to secure the rear.

"Ghost Sorrow, do not kill the innocent. I will return with you to see the Palace Master," Xue Mei finally could no longer hold back. She did not want to see the Snow Domain City slaughtered, nor did she wish to witness any more bloodshed. Deep down, Xue Mei possessed a rather kind heart.
