Chapter 31

Although he was under no urgent pressure to acquire a body for reincarnation, he nevertheless set his plan into motion, plotting to seize Sasuke’s body and attempting to capture him and bring him back to his base.

But what she saw was not a beautiful dream, but an utter nightmare. Countless monsters came charging toward her from the distance, their mouths lined with sharp teeth, their faces savage and their nature brutally ferocious.

A month earlier, during the discussions at the Five-Gate Conference in Colombia, although the Xingyi Sect and the other schools would not send assassins after the Logans family, they would provide intelligence on the family’s inclusion on the assassination list, as well as information about their whereabouts.

Though their cry for help carried a hint of mockery toward the group, who still had the leisure to care about that when their lives were at stake? They had all decided to submit to Xiao Yu and become his servants. What harm was there in calling him “Grandpa Xiao” a few times?

When she first heard the news, her immediate thought was that this mysterious young swordsman might be Luo Feng.

Kazakhstan possessed countless cities. If the current Khan of Kazakhstan, Murunduke, was determined to defend himself to the death, the Ming army would face far greater difficulties. Conquering the cities one by one would not only waste time but also result in many more casualties.

Of course, Zhan Feng knew nothing about such a wondrous opportunity, one that even Nascent Spirit cultivators could only dream of. When a golden lotus suddenly appeared within his Violet Palace, it did not make him happy. Instead, it filled him with unease—indeed, even fear.

Han Luo walked toward the school dining area. With the start of term approaching, more and more students were arriving. She ordered a breakfast of milk and bread, carried it to a table, set it down, and sat quietly to eat.

Today’s mission was extremely important. Qin Nuannuan understood the priorities and no longer lingered in bed. She climbed out, then took Su Xi and Su Wang to wash up.

As the crescent sword aura vanished, countless fragments of memory contained within the King’s vital essence suddenly released a piece of information into Luo Feng’s mind. Clearly, the crowned king who had died in the secret chamber knew this sword technique.

The emperor’s order of audience was arranged according to official rank, which meant that Zhong Nan would be the last person summoned. The wait was so long that he nearly fell asleep midway. By the time he finally heard the eunuch announce him, it was already evening.

Lin Chenmu had only just reached the doorway and was craning his neck to look inside when someone sharply rebuked him.

The splendid days in the capital had been a source of immense pleasure. Yet before the fifteenth day of the New Year had even passed, news arrived from Shandong that the White Lotus Society had risen again from the ashes. The governor, Wu Xiukai, was so alarmed that he summoned all the Shandong officials under his jurisdiction and ordered them to return overnight to Jinan Prefecture. Zhong Nan had no choice but to bring his journey through the capital with Qiuxiang to an end.

The two of them traveled at an exceedingly leisurely pace, walking slowly and enjoying themselves along the way. It took them nearly two months before they finally entered Xiuzhou territory.

The soldiers could see Yue Tuo’s indistinct figure standing atop the city wall from far away. They had learned a saying from the Han Chinese: “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Their hands and feet had grown numb from the cold throughout the journey, and the bitter chill was almost unbearable. Hearing Fan Chou’s words, every one of them brightened.

As they were speaking, Chen Jia approached. Her steps seemed a little unsteady, and her pretty face was flushed. A faint trace of alcohol lingered about her, adding a touch of alluring charm.

The sudden turn of events left the two factory owners utterly bewildered. Zhong Nan was even more confused. He had originally assumed that this “Zhao Shizhen” was the firearms expert Zhao Shizhen, but now he was no longer certain.

After sensing this aura from Jing Tang, Ge Dali’s expression grew increasingly ugly. Still, he had great confidence in the strength of the four people behind him and in their ability to compete with Jing Tang and the others for the Everlasting Herb.

Bai Yan’er could not stand Chen Junde’s smug expression. What was he blustering about, pretending to be some great figure? If she were not afraid of her elder brother’s reprimand, she would have gone over and punched him, just to stop him from remaining clueless while swaggering around so proudly every day.

“Of course. You gave it to me, so naturally I brought it along.” She did not wear it often, however, because it was far too precious. What if she lost it? For some reason, just before leaving the house, she had thought of the necklace made from beast bone that he had given her, and, as if possessed, had put it on.

“I understand. I’m sorry to trouble you. You haven’t slept all night, so hurry home and get some rest,” she said to Xia Xi.

The Yan family was eating dinner as well. Besides Yan Qing’er, Bai Xiaoyu was there too. After drinking the love potion, Yan Qing’er had fallen so deeply in love with her that she was willing to die for her. Bai Xiaoyu, meanwhile, was annoyed by it, yet could not bear to leave this free residence where food and clothing were provided without effort.

The red crystal seemed almost alive, flashing at regular intervals. He lowered his eyes to stare at the crystal in his hand, unable to suppress the pain that welled up inside him.

“Tch, who could compare with her? She’s an international physics gold medalist, after all.” Someone whispered nearby. At the same time, they wondered curiously whether the medal awarded at an international competition was really made of pure gold.

“Marry me, and I’ll be fine.” Lin Haoran’s speech had become somewhat more fluent, but his smile remained just as strange, as though the nerves in his face were beyond his control.

She immediately changed into ordinary clothes, brought along her trusted matron and several guards, and hurried off to find the Tenth Prince.

Yu Qingqing cooperated by hiding behind Jing Rong, while Chen Yanxi instinctively grabbed Jing Rong’s arm, treating her like a lifeline.

By then, Cheng Huayu had more or less figured it out. His cousin was taking care of his wife during a special period. They were practically bubbling over with sweetness.

Sara seemed to have spotted someone who would uphold justice. She hurried to Ye Cang’s side and shook her right hand repeatedly as she said,

Trembling, she entered the room. At that moment, the plump Director Qian was still asleep on a disposable silk sheet costing nineteen thousand eight hundred and eighty a night, snoring without the slightest trace of grace.

In the original story, if not for the connection with Raikuto, Kakashi’s Lightning Cutter would probably have been unable to pierce Kakuzu’s defenses.

The moment the emperor himself acknowledged the benefits that miscellaneous learning could bring to the Great Song, miscellaneous learning had already secured an invincible position.

After getting into the car, she touched her bag—her phone was gone, and so was her wallet. All she had left was a ten-yuan note that she had no idea when she had put in her pocket, so she simply placed it inside.

The online series had been released independently, without advertising or any other arrangements. For the time being, it was not making any money, but the casually registered account now had an astonishing number of followers on Bilibili.
