Gong Jingxuan did not want Xia Fangyuan to worry about him, but he truly was bored. After thinking it over, Gong Jingxuan nodded.

At first glance, the tents appeared orderly and easy to survey, as though there were nothing particularly complicated about them. But on closer inspection, the tents were connected into one vast expanse. More than a thousand tents formed a gigantic maze. Even if he led his army in recklessly, he had no confidence that he could emerge from it, let alone defeat the imperial forces.

Sure enough, the moment he said this, no one left. They all looked curiously at Lu Duan, then at the boulder.

The bowl contained a dark, murky medicinal brew. Its color alone made it clear that it would be difficult to swallow, to say nothing of the strong, peculiar stench filling the room.

By the time they entered Peach Blossom Town, it was still early morning, yet the market was already bustling. There were crowds of pedestrians, and carriages found it extremely difficult to move through them.

Those dozen or so soldiers were all true sons of Shu. Nearly all their families had lived in Golden Sand Royal City. After their entire clans were slaughtered, they had wandered from place to place. Ever since Du Yu founded his caravan, they had followed him faithfully. They were as loyal as could be, bound to one another like brothers.

“Brother Wang! I’m not dreaming, am I?”

Second Brother Wu slapped his own cheeks hard. Only when he felt the sting did he finally confirm that everything before him was real.

At that, Zhang Jiaze dared not make another sound. He racked his brains, unable to figure out where his wife had obtained her information. Judging from her serious expression, it was as though she had already seized his weakness. Zhang Jiaze simply fell silent. He still remembered the old maxim: the more one speaks, the more likely one is to give oneself away.

The White Tiger’s body exploded with a thunderous roar, light bursting in every direction. Xiao Yan shot out from within it, the Azure Flame Ruler in his hand, cold radiance flashing between his brows. Amid the swirling flames, he struck one of the thunder dragons with tremendous force. Accompanied by a mournful howl, the thunder dragon dissolved into a sky full of lightning and vanished.

“Didn’t she die back then too? And didn’t she come back to life in the end?” Lei looked at Feng and spoke calmly.

In an instant, flames clung to more than a dozen Death-Dealer Moths. Yet instead of diving down, they continued flying forward.

The pressure just now had been terrifying. Guo Taibu immediately realized what sort of person he was facing, and he did not dare be careless in the slightest. In his experience, contact with cultivators never ended well.

Otherwise, how could it have become this badly damaged? With his current strength at the ninth level of the Golden Immortal realm, he could not even lift it.

Seeing that Xiong Er had no new information to offer, Simon began searching the room for something suitable to use.

Bai Moli was utterly unmoved. After making a few quick preparations, she took the coordinates Uncle Ruan had given her, leaped into the air, and after several bounds had already reached the outskirts of the manor.

Huang Chao simply reached into the cash register drawer, pulled out two bright-red Mao banknotes, and stuffed them into his pocket. “I’ll go myself. You’re too slow.”

He really did not treat himself like an outsider.

Ying Zheng sat on the throne with a deeply troubled expression. What could possibly be bothering this iron-blooded tyrant so greatly?

After a handsome man shattered the Star Dragon Blood Thorn with a single palm strike, he roared at Long Teng with overwhelming resentment.

Loose cultivators and assassins were all desperate, lawless people. With nothing to hold them back, they dared to kill anyone at all.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a mask. At the same time, there was a soft pop, followed by a cloud of white smoke and a thick, peculiar odor.

Cheng Nuo gazed at Qi Chisu with a gentle, tranquil expression. He looked as though his heart were perfectly calm, but no one knew that he was already so nervous he could hardly bear it.

Hu Xue’s gaze grew even gentler as she watched the two children. So that was how they had been raised. Their mother had shown them enough patience to guide them and let them experience the consequences of their decisions and actions.

Luo Chiheng swept his cold gaze over those people and immediately became guarded as well. He had sparred with those bodyguards here last time, and every one of them was highly skilled. He truly could not afford to let his guard down now.

“Second Young Master Gu, I believe we can discuss this properly, as long as you guarantee her safety,” Wei Rong said.

“Brother Mu Qian, I want to go too.” You Biqing, who had behaved herself all afternoon, also ran out.

The very next second, Gao Jin saw Lin Mansheng smile faintly at Zong Quan and Zhao Feiming, which counted as a brief greeting.

Thus, when the county princess rushed over to snatch the sticks from their hands, they simply let go and allowed the sticks to fall. They held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

“If you want to hold the baby, just say so! Why use that excuse to persuade me? My husband is serving in the military in Province A, and this place isn’t far from the base. Once classes officially begin, I’ll be living at the school. Then you can hold the baby for as long as you like.” What an innocent girl.

Halfway through his sentence, Jiang Jinyan suddenly sucked in a sharp breath. He had been focused on holding down Chu Yun’s head, and his freed right hand had somehow slipped around to the front. It was now groping about without the slightest skill.

“Mm, the doctor came by for an examination just now and said there was nothing seriously wrong. He only needs to rest properly,” Officer Dalong replied with a smile.

“Basas moda, Basas moda, Basas moda...” This family of four, holding so much money, was so grateful to King Yang that they wept uncontrollably and could barely speak.

The Divine Emperor Miya sensed that something was wrong, but she caught him in one swift motion. With a smile, she said, “Big Sister will take you to drink the finest wine!” Before he had time to think, she had already led him away, cleverly transforming the talisman device back into a hanging charm and fastening it around his waist.

Liu Shasha looked at the Black Attendant Slave and gently placed a hand on her arm, where another fox-shaped mark lay. When she raised her head to look at him, a smile appeared on her face.

Jia Yun was so desperate that he did not know whether to laugh or cry. Terrified by the brutal methods the Cao family used against disobedient servants, he could not stop trembling. His face turned deathly pale in an instant, looking even worse than if both his parents had died.
