Chapter 37

In fact, Feng'er excels over Wu Zhao in three areas: light-body techniques, marksmanship, and throwing. Wu Zhao’s shooting ability is a personal shortcoming—even the strongest have their weaknesses—whereas Feng'er’s proficiency in the latter two stems from her innate talent, further bolstered by the secret dual-cultivation techniques she shares with Wu Zhao.

Under the fluorescent lights, the stark contrast between Zhou Min’s porcelain skin and the crimson blood staining her hands and mouth made her appear even more sinister and terrifying than Xiang Hongyi.

However, drinking too much inevitably leads to intoxication, especially with Yan Fei’s relentless pace of glass after glass.

It was only when she was fully dressed and the dressing room door opened that I finally snapped back to reality.

It must be said that Yang Xiong is exceptionally well-informed. The moment Chen Yi advanced to the rank of Golden Dragon, he knew; his arrival right after the match concluded was a congratulatory gesture that was neither too early nor too late—it was perfectly timed.

Old Huang, hunched over, was wearing a newly purchased Tang suit. During Beiming’s absence, he had managed to find somewhere to bathe; the stench was gone, replaced by a clean, fresh appearance.

Seeing the awkwardness descend upon the scene, the mermaid pearl, which held Geng Le’s soul and was placed around Daji’s neck, spoke up.

Chen Yi had been caught by the enemy fox’s charm, forced to walk toward her for a second. However, the enemy’s charm duration was longer; the moment Chen Yi’s debuff ended, he swung his magic orb and struck her with a basic attack.

The stands erupted in applause. Even students from other universities in the capital who had come to cheer for Beili clapped for Fang Yan’s miraculous goal. They were overcome with excitement; the strike was too shocking, its visual impact truly staggering.

Shen Changfeng had intended to wait for Meng Yuhan to eat something before talking, but since she expressed no desire to dine, he had no choice but to get straight to business.

One must realize that these were core disciples. Usually, all other disciples approached them with nothing but reverence; who could have imagined that today, an inner-sect disciple would humiliate them in front of so many people?

The Five Elements Sect senior acting as their guide wore a blank expression, but before long, he began to laugh. He was convinced that Wang Chen and his group were joking. How could newly joined disciples possibly have the ability to contest housing against senior brothers and sisters who had been there longer? Was this not just asking for abuse?

"Your Majesty, in these extraordinary times, we must employ extraordinary measures," Li Zhen declared loudly. "The Northern Expedition of the Wu State is a matter concerning the very fate of our dynasty. How can we allow those ignorant ministers to spout nonsense and disrupt the imperial court? I believe that Your Majesty should act decisively and ignore their unsolicited opinions."

Lu Yu pondered deeply, but he could not fathom the reason for it all. He had no choice but to set the matter aside and keep his doubts buried within.

"Oh? I was wondering who it could be—it turns out to be the former Realm Lord’s fiancée. Truly, my apologies," the burly man Chen Li said with a mocking smile, cupping his fists and performing a pretentious bow twice.

Naturally, these experts included Tie Furong, who had assisted with the poisoning. Upon receiving notice from Princess Jielan, Tie Furong sought out Jia Zuo that very night. They packed their things and immediately set out from the Tuoba tribe, heading toward the Xiongnu Kingdom.

I gave a dry cough and whispered, "We didn't use any talismans for this ghost exorcism, so there wasn't much cost involved. Fifty thousand will suffice." Hao Jianguo nodded without hesitation and turned to walk out of the house.

Wang Chen had already intended to act, and Wu Tianlang was essentially cooperating—or one could say Wang Chen was playing along with him. The process didn't matter; only the outcome did. And the outcome was that Wu Tianlang would die. As long as he made a move against Wang Chen, his death was certain.

"No!" Qi Dexian realized this, and the towering rage in his eyes transformed into the terror of death.

This time, besides her cheeks flushing hot, she discovered that her delicate body could not help but heat up as well, a strange sensation stirring deep within.

Yan Mi successfully entered the water, feeling both excited and proud. Without giving Song Anran a moment to react, he wrapped his arms around her waist, lowered his head, and sealed her lips with his own.

Song Anran suspected that even this shop was property of the Duke of Jin’s estate. As for the shop assistant, he was nine times out of ten a servant born into the Duke’s household.

Zhou Lin’s uncle, having had his inner thoughts exposed, grew somewhat irritated. He scolded Zhou Lin, then quickly turned to speak to Father Zhou, hoping to settle the matter before any complications could arise.

After Chang’e reached adulthood, she fell in love with Hou Yi, a warrior from the village. They loved each other truly, but that very year, two suns suddenly appeared in the sky.

In just a few breaths, the expression of terror on the face of the Immortal King from the Azure Dragon Sect had verged on madness.

This building was constructed in a rather remote location; no one ever came by, making it difficult to discover.

The second branch dared not demand too much of the public estate, nor were they qualified to. However, they could righteously demand a larger share of the old Marquis’s private fortune. Since they were all sons of the old Marquis, there was no reason the second branch should be marginalized at every turn.

According to the cross-dresser, Zhan Qingren’s state of mind had undergone a drastic transformation; he was colder than before. Although the cross-dresser had told him about Yang Yiyun and the Yunmen Immortal Realm, Zhan Qingren simply said that it was not a major issue for now. He wished to continue honing himself in the cultivation world and would return to reunite with Yang Yiyun in the future.

Yang Bo looked up and saw a man with a thick beard; he looked like a Mongolian, with a sturdy build and curly hair.

And that was not all; the beast’s massive tail swept toward Wu Yue’s head with the force of an army.
