Volume 1, Chapter 60: Finding Sasha

Pucha Baolin cast a strange look at Yuanmei; despite the Emperor's prior decree, she had merely stood up without returning to her seat.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Ruoxi’s face suddenly flushed red, but since Ning Baobei was carrying him over his shoulder, he did not notice.

If that was the case, the true source of this sound must be that innermost room, right?

He had originally wanted to suggest dragging him out to be beaten to death with staves, but seeing that Emperor Xizong wore a leisurely expression, he stopped himself.

Duan Chengyu frowned, pondering how to properly settle Yan Ruoyan. Tonight’s incident, regardless of whether it was the work of Su Nuannuan, Yan Ruoyan’s expression made it clear that she harbored a deep hatred for Su Nuannuan. She could no longer be left here; otherwise, there was no telling what she might do to harm Su Nuannuan.

Yet her reason told her this was not real. It was merely the third year of Zhenglong, and there were still three full years left before that fateful end.

After pondering for a while, I went out to take action. I prepared some supplies for myself, and by nightfall, I arrived near the Scarlet Night Bar.

"Since the He family has already dug a pit and the Ouyang family has tumbled right in, for the sake of Ouyang Shijiu's painstaking efforts beneath the ancient pine halfway up the mountain, I suppose I must help shovel a few scoops of earth over it," Nie Yuansheng said with a faint, unchanging smile.

"Gao Yu, that 'Fantasy' is extremely hard to find, but it is indeed all the rage in Beijing's social circles, having become an overnight sensation. I reckon that even if someone managed to get their hands on it, the quantity would be minimal—either already consumed or kept as a prized collection," Li Shaojie said to me.

"Hehe, it must be that you didn't grow any flowers, otherwise you'd be famous for much more than just this," said Wang Fan, his face plastered with a gloating expression.

Just like using a lesser anesthetic powder, oral anesthetics had an even more potent effect. Ingesting paralyzing venom directly into the stomach caused far greater damage to the body.

"Nick, what do you mean by flirting? I'm just helping the Banner recruit new members. This is serious business. Take a good look—this kid is actually a thief," Diana replied with a slight roll of her eyes.

"This is written right in the mission log, so it shouldn't be wrong. Just get ready for a fight," Green said with absolute certainty, wearing the knowing look of a seasoned veteran.

"Sandy, it looks like it's about to rain," Qingkong gazed at the gloomy sky overhead. Even as she spoke, large raindrops began to fall one by one onto her hair and the back of her hand.

It was evident that the guards stationed at the entrance of Prince Xi's residence had been largely dismissed by the Emperor. Presumably, Qi Tianling was truly returning.

The Emperor of Ma had departed, his retreating figure appearing quite desolate. Before leaving, he only bid farewell to Zhang Lu, and knowing Shang Yunfeng's attitude toward the Emperor of Ma, Zhang Lu did not dare to say much.

"That is a most excellent point. Firstly, we can check whether the demons have been completely eradicated, and if any stubborn survivors remain, we can reinforce the seals. Secondly, we can respectfully welcome the birth of the sacred object; they have remained dormant for far too long," advised the senior martial uncle of the blue-robed youth.

Skipping the tempering of the primary physical meridians would save a martial artist a tremendous amount of time in the early stages of cultivation, and make it much easier to open the eight extraordinary meridians. Once all the meridians, collateral channels, and extraordinary meridians throughout the entire body were cleared, a direct breakthrough to the Xiantian realm would grant an opportunity for blood refinement. After this blood refinement, there would be no need to clear any other meridians.

Lin Tao turned his head back and closed his eyes to rest. As long as those monsters could not discover him, behind this grim ghost statue was temporarily safe.

"It can't be, right? His Majesty's words are set in stone; how can he easily go back on them?" Ye Wucheng suddenly widened her eyes, looking at her sister in disbelief.

At that time, he had no car, no house, and no savings. He felt that the life he was living could hardly be called living—it was merely existing. He had wanted to have drive, wanted to work hard. But... back then, he was utterly lost, having no idea what the future held or which way the road ahead should go.

"Drink it. It's rare for me to be willing to feed someone myself, so you'd better cherish this privilege." When Du Ruo was stubborn, she adhered stubbornly to her own logic. Mo Youting was destined to be completely wrapped around her little finger, so he could only open his mouth again and start swallowing the hot broth.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get what he desired, and An Pengpeng grew red-eyed with anxiety. Yet every time he plucked up the courage to snatch it from Jiang Beibei, Liu Qinglin, who was holding Jiang Beibei, would ruthlessly kick him flying with a single blow.

Xu Jinlang took Fang Zhou to the VIP lounge, where airport staff were already waiting inside.

Before the fat man could finish, Xia Yi looked at the dead air coming from the phone. As if expecting it all along, he flicked the ash from his cigarette, shoved the phone into his pocket, and walked out toward the car.

Licheng, dressed in a pure white suit like a prince charming, slowly squatted down. His hand directly pinched Jiang Beibei's chin, his gaze venomous and tinged with a trace of chill.

You don't need to worry about the plot; it's completely under my control. As I've said before, all the arrangements are intentional, and everyone will feel immensely satisfied once they patiently read to the end.

You probably don't understand the peculiar nature—bah, bah, bah—the personality of my buddy yet, do you?

Su Nan was somewhat exasperated. Do you really think that with just a bit of flattery, my buddy here is simply going to let you off the hook?

Xiang Lai walked into the Path of Broken Souls with the others without giving it a second thought. Once they walked for just two more days, they would reach the border of the Beichen Kingdom. By then, no matter how resourceful their pursuers were, it would be impossible to catch them.

Their opponent was no good person either. Relying on the public outrage their deeds had caused, they were naturally skilled in the art of ambush. Suddenly, the two of them felt a chill wind at their backs and were jolted with alarm, simultaneously leaping away in opposite directions as enemy swords pursued them relentlessly like eyes.
