Chapter 114: What He Seeks Is Li Jiuwei

"Ah..."
"Xinchun, calm down, you can't let yourself get agitated in your condition." Mrs. Li anxiously held Li Xinchun's hand.
She embraced Xinchun, trying to soothe her.
But Li Xinchun only screamed more wildly, clutching her head in agony.
"She's going to ruin me, destroy me..."
"Xinchun... what Jiuwei said... is it true?" Mrs. Li looked at her daughter with a complicated gaze.
She had framed Li Jiuwei.
In fact, when Yang Tian saw the life-worms gnawing at the black leaves, he had hoped they might do some damage to this sinister tree... Had he known the life-worms would fail, he would have killed more of them and gathered more life-crystals.
The Tang blade in Yang Tian's hand swept out in brilliant arcs of white light. Any black-backed wolf that stood in his way was struck down by the blade, some cleaved cleanly in two.
"Weren't you still here the last time I sent a message?" Luo Yi lowered his head, gazing at Yun Xixi's hand entwined with his. Maybe he was just overthinking it. Where else could Xixi have gone?
Yang Lan's eyes darted about. She quickly produced something from her storage ring—a Ten-Thousand Poisons Fruit, whose main use was to ward off toxins. No matter how poisonous, it could provide protection.
If it weren't for the segment coming up, Peipei would have been tempted to smash the microphone right then and there. Honestly, in this day and age, who still enjoys that kind of song?
If you embarrass someone, they won't give you face in return. It's a loss with no gain. How could a military and commercial family like the Qiufeng clan make such a childish mistake?
But—the person who appeared turned out to be a short, lecherous-looking man with only the power of a Lord God. Seeing hundreds welcoming him, the short man broke out in a cold sweat. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that coming to Darknight Star for business would earn him such a reception.
Qi Liang had come to Chengxiang Manor at daybreak mainly to learn horseback riding. In truth, he was quite grateful to Princess Jianning, who had spoken up for him before the Grand Empress Dowager.
Lin Yufei sized up this Mr. Hua. He saw that the way he looked at Dr. Jian was utterly sincere, without the slightest pretense.
Lu Yun blinked her big round eyes, tilting her head with a hint of worry in her gaze, afraid she might have angered the already eccentric Qing Jian.
To strike so accurately within five hundred meters, shatter the mast, and leave a deep dent—if it had hit them, they'd have been dead by now.
With such a low parapet, how could it block the charge of my prairie warriors? In Wanyan Lu's eyes, parapets so high could easily be leapt over by the eagles of the grasslands, who would then plunge into the enemy infantry.
"Young Master, the Young Madam should have arrived long ago," Anyuan said, noticing the smile on Ye Huangchen's face and knowing what he was thinking. After all, besides the Young Madam, no one else in the world could make him smile.
"I'll give it to the lawyer, and the lawyer will bring me the divorce certificate." Fu Jingcheng took the signed divorce agreement from Jiang Rui, glanced at it indifferently, and tossed it aside.
But nothing turned up—no suspicious figures were found on the way to Fu Jingcheng's home.
With Lü Dalin's assurance, Nuoqi'a glanced longingly at the spear in her hand, closed her eyes, and threw it to the ground. She dismounted swiftly and shouted, "Everyone off your horses, throw down your weapons!" Over a hundred Bai soldiers silently dismounted and tossed their weapons aside.
Su Moyu, walking in front, suddenly stopped, and Yu Xian halted as well. Just as Shen Xiaomin thought the two had finally vented their anger and spared her from becoming cannon fodder—
"Amitabha..." The monks, who had just paid for the glass statue, looked at the debris strewn across the ground and sighed, their faces filled with utter despair.
Soon after, Emperor Liu Xun issued another decree, ordering King Wuhuan, Mu Di, to lead his troops at once to the Protectorate of Hanhai to take up the position of Protector. Any defiance would be seen as disobeying the imperial order and severely punished.
