Chapter 28

Sensing her son suddenly exude the aura of a moving iceberg, Ye Ting not only failed to restrain herself but intensified her stance, even revealing a hint of maternal seriousness and gravity. Lord Shen once again instructed Yu Dongshan, who was in charge of the interrogation, to find several patrons who had spent the previous night at the Mansion of Blossoming Spring to confirm the facts, but those patrons had eyes only for the courtesans and paid no mind to the guards.

Wu Fan gasped for breath, finally letting go of his anxiety. Turning to look at Su Han, his arrogance immediately resurfaced. In an instant, the Tian residence was ablaze with light, as if daylight had broken within its walls.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xi was momentarily taken aback, then fell silent, saying nothing more. With a mind as sharp as the prince’s, surely he already understood the unspoken question.

In a flash, Fu Tian and his companion vanished like mist and, in the next instant, appeared above the sea.

Xiao Changyun’s grip on his hand grew tighter and tighter, as though wishing to draw him into his palm, to hold him within his very life.

The water from the Tongtian River, the purple dragon grass, and the peach tree—these were Hua Fei’s current acquisitions within the Celestial Palace. The region he had carved out after devouring the spiritual spring of the Di Sha Blade Sect was yet to be fully explored.

Both were shrewd individuals, and Shumi did not pursue the matter further. A momentary silence settled over the room.

Wan Ning shook her head. Her appetite had been poor tonight, and she truly hadn’t eaten much; yet upon seeing those noodles, her hunger returned. Still, she couldn’t very well compete with Cui Yiting for a bowl.

She had indeed received no message, and it was only after descending the mountain with Aunt Lu to the town below that she learned something had happened.

I took a shovel and began digging a hole along the edge; the donkey had to be buried, and the deeper the better. Shen Enci, noticing my intent, began helping me dig as well. My mind, however, was in utter chaos.

So, did they find the sunken ship down there? They must have, otherwise where did the wine come from? But why did they surface with just a single bottle?

It appeared that the friction between the God of Light and the Primeval God of Chaos had left the royal family with no choice.

Su Jinluo breathed a sigh of relief when Su Nan didn't overthink things, but she couldn't help glaring at Jin Ye while Su Nan wasn't looking—she refused to believe he hadn’t considered this point.

Qiu Qiu stood quietly for a while, gazing at Shi’er. Suddenly, she stepped forward and threw her arms around him in a tight embrace.

Jin Ye hurriedly caught Su Jinluo’s hand, lowering his voice to apologize. Her wounds were yet to heal, and he dared not let her move too much. After soothing her for a while, her sorrow at parting was gently dispelled.

He needed to find a weakness, to bring the old monk down and trample him a few times more for good measure. With a sly glance, Shangguan Ren looked over at Wu Chen.

After the reunification of East and West Germany, although the country’s fiscal deficit was severe, its economic power relative to the other member states soared. The other EEC countries, intent on keeping pace with the Deutsche Mark, first had to devalue their own currencies.

Clearly, even if Taiyi rejected him, he would not care; perhaps, in his eyes, this was nothing more than a trivial game of slaughter.

Surrounding him were several identical nutrition pods arranged in a circle—these pods were among the basic equipment used to enhance the new recruits.

From this perspective, the berserker captain before him could be said to have done Chen Shi a favor.

Lingbao Heavenly Lord, who had narrowly escaped disaster on the path to immortality, finally took the last step and achieved the status of Immortal in the Mortal Realm.

After receiving a call from Zhang Yuan, Wei Dao’s expression grew grim. Fortunately, he had already arrived at Lijia Village. He immediately got out of the car and went to inquire.

“Awake?! What the hell do you mean awake, I’m still unconscious!” Qiao Zengjiang cursed as he ran through the events in his mind once more.

At this moment, the wall behind Chen Shi had completely collapsed, and those below could clearly see inside the room.

Li Min’s voice was sweet, and when she sang, she used that sweetness to perfectly convey the warmth and determination in the song. As everyone listened, a sudden sense of happiness welled up within them, and smiles appeared on their faces.

“What should we do?” Xia Dongqing asked. He wasn’t particularly afraid; after all, the gun in the evil ghost’s hand was probably much like Zhao Li’s—capable only of harming spirits.

Because of preparations for the competition, the entire Qiancheng Entertainment office building was closed to outsiders today. Still, with the arrival of a prince or princess, the two security guards dared not be negligent and hurriedly called Aoki Zoe.

He frowned, unable to fathom why someone would be so delighted over a fifty-cent coin.

Mu Ran let out a soft moan, her breathing growing ragged. Her body, limp as mud, collapsed into Tang San’s arms, utterly drained of strength.

“I… I’ve decided not to speak of the Holy Grail any longer,” Jeanne said, turning away as she twirled a strand of golden hair.

“Heh, too late for that. I’ll give it back to you in a few days.” Playing the role of a human trafficker, Qiye gave a sly laugh, and before Hyuga Hiashi’s formidable Gentle Fist could reach him, he slipped into a micro-wormhole.

With mechanical steps, she endured the strange looks cast her way, feeling that overwhelming urge to dig a hole and bury herself right there.

“Hmph! Stupid man, I really don’t understand why Senior Hua would ever like you!” Yet Satsukura Maple was even more arrogant than he was, replying with biting sarcasm and shooting him a scornful, colored glance, as if to say he was utterly undesirable.

The guard had just seen the door open and was about to curse when he caught sight of Fu Chenhan’s icy gaze, followed by a thunderous roar brimming with kingly authority.

It gave me the perfect excuse not to return. No matter who asked, I’d simply say I couldn’t get along with my classmates and things soured on the very first day—I had lost all interest, after all.

If Chen Fufeng hadn’t arrived in time with reinforcements, Liu Wei’s family might well have fallen into the hands of Nicholas and his men.

So we drew lots among the remaining two establishments and stepped into the final lucky winner’s shop.

At that moment, Yan Kun suddenly bowed deeply to the group—especially to Yang Ye—and spoke.

According to Chaos Wind’s explanation, the nine incarnations must eventually become one. Since they were all part of Su Qiong, it was not a matter of one devouring the others, but such a fusion still filled Su Qiong with sorrow. The dragon’s mane at Baxià’s neck turned golden, and the patterns on the tortoise shell took on a subtle gilded hue.

Feeling Fu Chenhan’s hand clamped tightly around his neck—with a force that seemed to constrict his very breath—he felt as though his neck were caught in an iron press, thousands of pounds strong, crushing down upon him.
