47 Demonic Chaos
Having gone through so much trouble, he forcibly suppressed his temper and humbled himself to seek out this Hu Yun.
"That was just a moment ago. Now it seems I am no longer needed, so I can just go do something else." Chen Yishu reached out to pull the handle.
Anyone could tell that Zhou Lijun's background was not particularly wealthy. This was evident from her previous behavior during the gambling match, where her bets reaching a certain threshold caused her to nearly break down.
"It's because I acquired power from the universe," Nangong Qian thought for a moment and decided to tell them the truth.
Mu Xinlan turned around and was about to leave when Cheng Zhiming flicked his hand beside her ear, and a bunch of roses materialized before her eyes. She was momentarily stunned, turning her head to look at him.
"You weren't even born back then, what do you know? She was the one who stole your father away from me," Ye Shiran said with a sharp and bitter voice.
Having lived a pampered life in the Ninefold Heaven Realm, even in the barren and bottomless Purgatory, Gui Yu and Tian Ling still had strict standards for their food and lodging.
She had originally thought that Liu Liyang was finally divorcing Quan Xiaoxiao and that victory was securely in her grasp, but she never expected him to have other ideas.
The Daoist priest's affair could not be kept hidden, so Ning Yi decided to strike first and use the advantage of making the first move to hoodwink the Emperor of Xihe.
When the surveillance paused, she gathered her thoughts and lay down on the bed. Meanwhile, Bai Sui, located in the Eastern Base, was greeted by an unexpected visitor.
The reason you feel such guilt, anxiety, and self-blame is because the consciousness of the parallel-world version of you—who harmed your teammates—is also attached to your soul body, and you are being influenced by it.
"Pay it no mind, let us go see Master Jingkong," Sima Mo said. As for an irrelevant person, he simply wouldn't care at all.
The elderly nanny by Consort Yu's side happened to walk in at that moment. Seeing that Zhao Ni was already fully dressed and groomed, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly at how worry-free the girl was, saving her from having to rush and chase after her out of fear of missing the auspicious hour.
Having finished all this, Du Jia used a fresh piece of gauze, poured ice-cold mineral water over it, and reapplied it to Shen Jingyi's ankle. Repeating this several times, Du Jia then used gauze to tightly wrap, secure, and bandage her ankle joint.
Chen Qi withdrew his gaze, and Fourth Grandpa's face resumed its smile. Ding Liaoliao curled her lips, turned around, and lowered her head to drink tea.
To take care of her while also avoiding drawing attention—what could be the reason for this? Could it be that her identity was unmentionable?
Yet for some reason, the anger suddenly dissipated. Looking back to see Zhang Tiedan and the others still galloping in hot pursuit, a sudden impulse for mischief struck her. She raised her whip and lashed the horse's back hard twice, sending the military steed charging forward at a mad, desperate sprint.
At a time like this, his heart should have completely turned cold. What need was there to dwell on so many meaningless things anyway?
My mouth opened, yet I still had no idea what to say. I could only stare at him in blank astonishment. He refused to look at me again, offering a pitiful, sorrowful smile. Although his face wore a smile, I knew that deep inside his heart, he was hurting beyond measure.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Shui Jing's eyes, but she did not dare to disobey Shui Yi's will. She nodded and said, "Alright, then Imperial Sister and you all go ahead and dine. I shall return shortly." With that, she turned and left.
"It's just having the kitchen add a few dishes, it's no trouble at all." Shen Huijun gently took Chu Ning's hand, patted her arm, and smiled.
Situ Xing'er felt a bit resistant toward getting into Xia Yu's Land Rover, but this place was rather remote with very little traffic, leaving her with no other choice. Long Qing also hesitated for a moment before boarding, ultimately choosing to sit in the back row. He failed to notice that the moment he opened the rear door, Xia Yu's gaze dimmed for a fraction of a second.
"Master, if you can't figure it out, then stop thinking about it. After all, the Old Madam said that Second Master Bao was born different and is someone of great consequence. Master, what does 'great consequence' mean?" Yingchun asked feignedly, pretending not to understand.
Outside the Changle Palace, Imperial Concubine Xian had just stepped out when she saw her trusted nanny running over with an anxious look on her face.
Raising her head to look up at the sky, thick dark clouds covered the entire expanse densely. The previously bright space thus lost its luster, turning dim, dull, and oppressive.
"I won't wear what you bought! I brought my own clothes!" Chu Ning's face instantly turned burning red at Lin Yuhao's final remark, and she blurted out the words without a second thought.
Yuzhou drew a map on the ground, marking the locations where Li Jinglong and Qiu Yongsi had once discussed and pinpointed the Six Vessels of the Immovable Wisdom King. Five of the six vessels had now been secured, leaving only the final one.
In Lan Yue's heart, there existed only the mission and instructions given by Hong Yue. Even though she sensed a feeling of familiarity, and even though both harbored the same imagery of the Qinhuai River, Lan Yue still regarded Leng He with utter disdain. In front of such a person, displaying too much or saying too much would be the greatest flaw, and the Allure Tower could not afford flaws.
"Understood. Hold your battle position; things are tight over there, I'm heading over!" Ji Wuyi said, already charging toward a spot not far away.
"I'll give you ten seconds... get the hell out!" Song Xiaodong's voice was not loud, but those words carried an indescribable, intimidating pressure.
Seeing that old shameless Ling Jingtian happily flying away, a flock of Heavenly Heart Physiques surrounded Chu Meng in the center.
At a glance, the three leading figures appeared to be Dao Ancestors—among them was that Lingyun Sword Immortal—followed by at least hundreds of Immortal Emperors, and further back lay an endless army of Profound Immortals, protected by the power of the Dao Ancestors.
Perhaps it was precisely because Song Xiaodong possessed abilities similar to his own that he felt such fear.
The iron door seemed equipped with some sort of rebound mechanism; in that brief moment of hesitation, it slammed shut again, unsettling the soldiers' nerves.
"Good!" Number Two and the others showed no hesitation whatsoever toward Xiao Cheng's orders. Casting a wary glance at Bandu and Jialuo'er, they quickly retreated.
Everything this girl had encountered today—both physically and mentally—had exceeded her endurance limits. Had she not been yearning to grow close to Song Xiaodong, she would have fallen asleep long ago.
The starry sky was boundless and deep. Millions of cultivators seemed like an astonishing number when viewed up close, yet once they entered this vast expanse of the cosmos, they became utterly insignificant.
The Treasure-Hoarding Pagoda had already become Zhang Tie's private property; how could it still be giving out prizes to those who climbed up?
Moreover, the Roaring Waves Immortal Fist was inherently immensely powerful. If one could master it, the might would be terrifying indeed.
Deprived of their supportive advantage, Tie Hu and Tie Gou were once again suppressed, reduced to an absolute disadvantage.
"It's not luck, it's my good judgment. Besides, it's their own fault; as supernatural beings and squad leaders, they lacked any sense of alertness whatsoever," Li菲菲 retorted defiantly.
