Chapter 65

Night Weiyan could not help but harbor a grievance against Xu Ruojin, who had quietly spirited away Noble Consort Yun without so much as a word of greeting, only for such an accident to occur.

The endless chatter of the commoners buzzed about; although the parties involved had long since entered the princess's manor, it did nothing to prevent them from becoming prime gossip fodder during tea time.

Suddenly, two lines of hot tears welled up from his eyes, dripping even into his cup and blending with the ginger water.

When snipes and clams fight, it is the fisherman who profits. She had become the ultimate beauty, most adept at toying with men; living a life of boredom and emptiness day in and day out, finding a bit of amusement now and then was not a bad idea.

"Don't worry, once we go to school tomorrow, I'll go settle scores with Bai Hua," he said with a cold, consoling tone. This Bai Hua had simply gone too far.

The two drove to a private Hunan restaurant. Having tasted fine cuisine from all corners of the globe, Jing Ruhua had never yet experienced the flavors of the Huaguo realm. While waiting for the dishes to be served, she brewed herself a pot of tea.

"Let's go somewhere else to talk," Ling Jiu suggested once she saw that An Wanruo's emotions had recovered quite a bit.

Glancing at Chu Yan'er, Xu Ruojin felt her unease grow even stronger. Yet, Liang Xiao did not even look at Chu Yan'er's way, leaving the affected and pretentious Chu Yan'er frozen in place, gazing longingly only at Liang Xiao, while her internal resentment toward Xu Ruojin multiplied manifold.

"Then when does Your Highness plan to set off?" Mo Tong's mood had by now turned wonderfully cheerful, her face wreathed in smiles as she long since cast the matter of Lou Jin to the back of her mind.

Lygdan Khan slowly shook his head. Within his heart surged boundless reluctance, helplessness, and fury, but at this moment, he could not even be bothered to speak. He slowly closed the tiny slits of his eyes that remained open, desiring only to sink into a deep sleep.

"Understood." Coulson was good at everything, and his ultimate virtue was obeying and trusting any command from Fury, even now when, empowered by the Desire Beans, he had grown strong enough to become a superman.

"To completely leave frontline labor—does that mean doing nothing at all?" Wu Qingchen could not help but confirm once more.

A white radiance, like expanding ripples of water, burst forth from her body, instantly sweeping across the entire space. In an instant, the sky full of bloody blades, along with the supernatural abilities of the elders, vanished abruptly as if they had never existed at all.

Particularly encased in black tight leather, her twin peaks stood proudly erect, delivering a visually stunning and shocking impact.

Faced with his imperial elder brother's command, he knew all too well that upon arriving at the manor of Princess Chengyang, he would inevitably be scolded by his Aunt Chengyang. Yet, much as his heart rebelled against the idea, Fifth Brother's command could under no circumstances be defied at this moment.

"It is safe here for the time being, and you can seize this opportunity to intensify your cultivation. Only when your strengths have increased can I rest easy," Wu Xi said.

Yet humanity now faced not only the pressure of the Ghost Masters but also that of the vengeful spirits. Whether mankind could withstand this dual pressure remained an entirely unknown variable.

The reason for keeping such a low profile was that Feng Yue had rarely visited a world devoid of any transcendent power, and truly wished to cease striving. He merely desired to live a quiet, ordinary life here for a few decades in peace, savoring the tranquil retirement he had never experienced before.

Looking at the remaining two million-plus attention points and pondering for a moment, Andrew spoke once more.

The strength of this figure in black robes was no match for Blood Song, but his stealth techniques were exceedingly formidable. If he chose to hide, it would be impossible for Blood Song to track him down.

While speaking, Lin Yuan tossed the chopped wolf and snake meat into the pot, adding a generous amount of spices.

"Sigh, why are you like this? Since you asked someone else to handle a task, you ought to trust them; otherwise, you shouldn't have given it to them in the first place. Acting like this puts people in such an awkward spot, don't you know?" Wu Yong said with great displeasure.

Leaning his head back against the concrete wall, he realized that for more than two years, he had not sat down in such a manner to reflect upon his own life.

"This... Chief, do you think he... will he act recklessly?" Xiang Xiangna asked anxiously, pointing toward Wu Yong. Harboring deep-seated prejudices against him, she would never alter her biased view, no matter what earth-shattering feats Wu Yong might accomplish.

Meanwhile, two or three dozen skilled exponents of the Sword Sect lay sprawled in a tangled, crooked heap along the bases of the walls and the corners of the courtyard.

Orochimaru, who had been resting with his eyes closed all along, opened them, and Tsunade, previously intoxicated, regained a measure of sobriety.

An Ranxi met his dark, heavy gaze, finding it utterly unbearable, and was forced to avert her eyes to look elsewhere.

Ever since Sun Dian brought Madam Wu to reside in Crystal City, the Sun family's main residence had been relocated accordingly. Today, the spirit tablets of their ancestors were venerated within the ancestral hall at the rear of the estate.

Mu Yi turned around, his face still devoid of any expression, save for a pale and frail trace.

This rock tunnel was likely formed naturally, merely widened or modified by those people of the Ming Dynasty.

Xie Chaosheng could only offer a bitter smile. You dare to offend both the Ten Directions Terrace and the Yinsha Sect, and even dare to chase down and kill True Immortal Hanpo, yet now you say this to me?

When Xiao Na discovered the identities of Liu Qi and his companions, she immediately brought her newly acquainted dormmates over to share a table.

Her voice choked with tears, having completely forgotten her original purpose of seeking out Nangong Chou, she suddenly stamped her foot, executed a mid-air somersault, and vaulted over the outer wall.
