Volume 1, Chapter 27: Bugs!

Du Gou had long been planning to establish a bank, but that was still half a year away. He had no time to wait for the bank to appear before purchasing land.

The madam’s smile stiffened instantly upon hearing this. Naturally, she knew who Du Gou was; the insiders had been waiting for him all along. Yet she hadn’t expected his stance to be so resolute, as if he held little fondness for this place.

However, the news had already been spread. It was estimated that within five minutes, the island lord would arrive here.

One must understand that this fallen creature’s true form was just an ordinary large insect, yet now it could rival cultivators, even threatening the life of an Immortal through surprise attacks.

But her family had always served Prince Ning. Even if they switched sides, they would face retribution, so she had no choice but to proceed down this dark path.

The tables and chairs between the two were shattered and hurled away by the overwhelming momentum, leaving a vast empty space.

“No, we still have reinforcements!” Lin Ziyun smiled mysteriously as a crown appeared atop his head.

Compared to this, the scheming and power struggles of the imperial court gradually faded from Du Gou’s mind.

When his technique finally ceased, everyone realized the monster was completely unharmed.

The news of your secret marriages to two allied kings spread rapidly among soldiers and bandits alike. Riding a black horse, you were saluted by guards and gangs along the way. Society’s morals were deteriorating, and entertainment gossip ran rampant.

Occasionally being treated to a meal brought great joy; moments of solitude were cherished, and you longed to talk a little longer.

At that moment, Xu Tian groggily opened one eye. He looked up, and though the scene before him was still blurry, he couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

At first, it was righteous indignation, but after two days, the problem arose—who would care for the two needy nephews? The elder was already running around everywhere, and their mother could only sit inside the shop. Sometimes, if she wasn’t careful, the child would disappear, making it impossible to manage the shop.

Jonas was speechless. Though six months had passed, he had yet to adapt to the differing ideologies of East and West.

Those two suddenly remembered Bai Ling, as if she had been forgotten: “Let me explain what happened!” tried Jiang Lingmao, attempting to ease the awkwardness.

“Both soul master teams, please release your martial souls,” the host stepped to the center and announced loudly.

Xu Tian immediately quieted, furrowing his brow with alarm as he looked towards the sound. Autumn Qiong was sitting two seats away, her hat brim pulled low, her face nearly shadowed. If she hadn’t spoken or if Xu Tian hadn’t paid attention, her presence would have gone unnoticed.

The leap their mother made back then was strikingly similar to how their brother, in a fit of anger, had cut off his own finger.

But none of the teachers wanted to deal with him, as no one wished to invite trouble—after all, no one wanted their windows smashed or to be mysteriously trapped in a sack and beaten with a blunt weapon.

After waking, Lei Tai’s spirit had returned to normal. He left his room intent on settling scores with the Tianshan Eldress.

To Li Tian, these people were obstructing him from achieving his goals.

“Why must I bring her along?” Li Weidong sighed helplessly. What had been a pleasant candlelit dinner now had an unwanted third wheel, making him uncomfortable.

My expression changed instantly. I released Su Han and headed out. Su Han’s face also shifted as she followed, still holding the porridge from before.

After the Water Moon Temple was set ablaze, Illusory Butterfly confirmed that another force was present beside Yu Mei.

Yet he had already learned psychological dialectics and a variety of adult vocabulary.

Dongfang Ding lay on the central bed, having already taken the prepared medicinal broth, ensuring he would not awaken during the spell’s casting.

She felt her future life would be difficult. Bai Qingqing irritably ran her fingers through her hair, utterly dispirited and devoid of any will to work.

Li Weidong squatted down and discovered a black vine about the thickness of a thumb growing from the ground, bearing silver fruits that exuded a heavy moisture.

Such a sizable object clearly posed no threat, and everyone relaxed. San Lang chuckled, “Old Seven, aren’t you a biologist? What is this thing? Can it be roasted? It should taste good cooked.”

Lin Mufeng, the most handsome man in the world, and Wen Xin, through Shiyao’s cultivation method, transformed the dark power into their own and controlled it at will.

“I bought it for one million one hundred thousand!” a burly man suddenly stood and shouted loudly.

When Lin Fei and the others flew down from the mountain peak, he clearly saw that Leng Ying and Qin Yunyue radiated extraordinary aura befitting Martial Saints and Martial Sovereigns, while Lin Fei appeared plain, lacking such aura.

In the past, she would have thought her body and soul belonged to Chong Xi, who sacrificed himself for her.

“No way!” Yun Tu wailed silently. Those five giants had once belonged to the divine clan; their combat power must have been formidable. Even now, soulless as they were, they were beyond her ability to handle.

In the distance, the Reincarnation Path shone brilliantly. Six tall buildings rose from the ground, majestic amid the dark ghostly realm.

Just as He Xiao finished translating, He Siyuan shouted, “I’m willing to provide assistance, anytime, in any form.” His voice was urgent, as if any delay could cost his life.

“Unfortunately, it now attracts ghosts,” Su Wanling said while leading him toward a unit at the back. Approaching the building, she saw a moving truck parked before it.

Murong Xue’er sighed helplessly. This guy was truly insane to openly challenge the chief of the Punishment Hall. Did he even know who the Punishment Hall chief was?

“Speak plainly—what must be done to make the True Martial Sovereign forbid interference?” the Medicine Venerable said bluntly.

For some inexplicable reason, upon hearing the youth’s words, her heart felt a faint warmth and an unexplainable flutter.
