Chapter Thirty-Nine

Only in front of Xu Feng did Dark Moon show a gentle temper. It must be understood that in the past, even the Demon Emperor had no way to handle her. Now, with just a mere bodyguard daring to behave this way toward her, how could she possibly tolerate it?

At this moment, several people reacted similarly. Many had heard of Shi, but quite a few had never seen him. Among them, several had never laid eyes on Shi before, so when he appeared silently and unnoticed, they did not recognize him.

They needed to enter the eastern mountain range to see the giant sequoias of North America. The murals depicted them nine times in total; whenever there was a grand festival, their images appeared. Apart from this place, no other giant sequoias survived nearby. Given their lifespan of thousands of years, it was entirely possible they were here.

Enamel painting and enamel are two completely different concepts. Enamel painting is a type of colored material, while enamel refers to an object.

Upon arriving at the company and opening the office door, Li Jiye and others stared at him with eyes like wolves and tigers, as if he were made of tender flesh.

Old Yang did not fully grasp the elder’s meaning but did not ask further. Although the elder often seemed lethargic, Old Yang understood that he must possess some abilities beyond his understanding. Occasionally, he would hear words from the elder that he could not comprehend and had long since become accustomed to this.

“Heh, it’s the New Year, so no need to talk about such things. Auntie, I’d like to wish you an early Happy New Year—may you remain forever youthful and beautiful, and may all your wishes come true.” Zhang Mingyu gave his elder brother a sharp glance, then cheerfully wished Wu Xiao an early New Year over the phone.

Shi Tian listened with great alarm. He never imagined that the very thing he feared most at the time would indeed come to pass. Yet, in the end, it was a close call. The Shi family not only escaped disaster but the enemies were nearly wiped out completely.

Countless spiritual medicines, herbs, flowers, and trees emitted a rich aura, enveloping the palaces in a dreamy, misty veil, ethereal and elusive—truly a fairyland to behold.

The door was pushed open, and Wen Bili entered. She needed help organizing her luggage as she would return to Hong Kong tomorrow.

What if this time, they didn’t make it out of the pass? Would they still remain unaware that their Mo family had been wiped out?

“Ahem, sorry about earlier. My imperial sister was just joking! I suppose you gentlemen are from secretive clans? May I ask your names and your purpose for coming to Fengyun Country?” Ouyang Luocheng’s tone shifted as he smiled politely.

Though they once had a harmonious relationship, even friends, now they faced each other with hostility, constantly on guard. It was unpleasant, but politics was politics—only one could survive.

The conversation suddenly took a serious turn, halting my urge to leave. I didn’t understand why Song Tao brought it up again, but I smiled instead. “Then, Mr. Song, could you explain why you invest money into a nightclub owner’s real estate business?” Only a fool would think Song Tao had no ulterior motives.

Zhao Wuyou remained true to himself. Since all this was part of a premeditated plan, what was there to regret or pity? Hanyin was already destined to die. If not for Zhao Wuyou, she would have long since been a wandering soul on the road to the underworld.

A glance back revealed a black-clad figure raising a cold blade high. In the pitch-dark night, it gleamed like the scythe of death, dripping with bloodlust. Though Zhao Wuyou regretted it, it was already too late.

It was simply because he dared to charge and fight without fear of death, coupled with a simple mind, that Mo Cheng preferred having such people nearby—it made him feel more at ease.

The swirling sea stirred the surrounding air. Murong Chu did not force herself; underwater, she could move freely like flying.

For example, Qiu Benxuan was already the most senior among the “Ben” generation disciples, born of noble lineage from the Zhenren sect. His comprehension and talent were excellent, yet to this day, he had only reached the fourth level of cultivation.

According to Chen’s decree, Chen Shoudu attempted to assassinate the emperor and empress, aiming to rebel. The evidence was irrefutable, and witnesses were present. There was no need for further trial. The officials of the Prime Minister’s Mansion and Chen’s faction had also been purged.

Xue Pan’s proud expression froze. Lingdang’s eyes widened, thinking he had been pacified by Yun’er from the Jixiang Courtyard.

Whether watching the spectacle or awaiting the joke, everyone was waiting for the savior’s debut—hero or coward, it would be clear once they were revealed.

A flicker of surprise flashed in Night Pigeon’s eyes. She fully felt the power of Susanoo’s punch, which rivaled some of the strongest high-level ninja techniques. Had the dark teleportation power infused into the shield been any weaker, the aftershock of Susanoo’s punch might have affected him as well.

He temporarily abandoned the Sleeve Universe Technique, having realized after some time of training that he truly lacked the talent for it.

Where the firelight shone, there sat a chair and teapot, a celestial immortal leaning on a peach tree, stepping on the altar table. On both sides stood round-back chairs, and before the hall was an Eight Immortals table. Dust covered everything about half an inch thick; spiders crowded the entire hall. The inner chambers were originally bedrooms, but the beds and mats were wrapped in dust and mud.

Tsk tsk, these shops here are perfectly targeted! Facing wealthy and leisurely aviation workers, it would be hard for these shops not to prosper.

Majima and Ransora were quite courteous to Dongfang Yunyang’s two companions. When Deputy Captain Kawamoto Mina greeted the two, they observed carefully. Usually cold and aloof, the deputy captain’s unusual politeness toward Dongfang Yunyang’s group clearly had special reasons, so they dared not be negligent.
