Volume 1, Chapter 62: Quickly Go and Summon the Mistress

Inside the Sparse Shadow Pavilion.

Hongxiu sat on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, while Xie Ruyue held a bowl of medicinal soup, feeding her.

Hongxiu held a traditional hand warmer to her chest and had another one resting on her legs. Combined with the blazing charcoal fire in the room, it soon grew so warm that beads of sweat formed on Hongxiu's temples.

In that instant, she was consumed by an unbearable heartache, consumed by remorse over how she could have brought herself to inflict such cruelty upon the person she loved most, wishing she could commit suicide on the spot.

Song Yu had voluntarily offered to help her negotiate with the elders of the Song family regarding the household rules, which genuinely made her happy, so she wanted to give him a little extra reward.

Therefore, the ultimate outcome would likely be a continuous expansion until the very last temple on the map was conquered.

Huo Yin mingled within the flowing crowd, surging forward along with the throngs of people. Whenever he encountered street performances or acrobatics, he would pause to watch.

If Lu Changsheng could silently cause the shadow beast to vanish into nothingness, he could do the exact same thing to this creature just as quietly.

Clearly, the person opposite was merely a vanguard, yet they already possessed A-rank strength. Did that not mean there were quite a few more existences like this?

"Ahem..." Lady Liadrin gave a gentle cough, politely reminding Eitrigg of her presence.

She was determined to ask whether intentionally concealing vital information was due to a hefty bribe from the landlord or some other reason.

Whether it was her usual ungrounded yet acute intuition or simply the precise judgment of a professional, Mihono Bourbon could not tell.

She had originally expected the fire phoenix to crush the ice phoenix, but she had never anticipated that the ice phoenix would prove significantly stronger.

Deyao and Lianghong are both extraordinary, bringing the splendor of spring right before the eyes. Trees of fire and blooming silver flowers beneath water-like moonlight, clear streams outside the pot and mountains beyond the stream.

Although Wang Tian strongly supported Li Bai, many people remained deeply pessimistic about Li Bai's interview outcome before the results were officially announced.

Gu Jianghai was a handsome man with resolute facial features. When he was not smiling, he exuded an aura of aloofness, but when he smiled, it was like a gentle spring breeze. His slightly upturned peach-blossom eyes drooped, shimmering with the ripples of a vernal pool.

Each of these three unleashed an offensive technique to defend themselves, successfully blocking the attack of the Demonic Dragon Claw.

"Elder sister," hearing the familiar voice, Susu slowly turned her head to look at Yusheng. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly as she raised her eyes to look at Susu standing beside the bed, and then at Gu Jianghai behind her. Upon seeing Gu Jianghai, her gaze flicked away evasively.

Brother Duan truly felt that Bai Suzhen was both beautiful and kind-hearted, and he held a very favorable impression of her. On the verge of parting, they exchanged earnest farewells, fearing that once she left, it would be difficult to meet again, making melancholy inevitable.

"Why must we insist on finding Gongsun Mu? Aside from drinking and playing music, does Gongsun Mu even know anything about the Silver Resistant Fruit?" Xu Ce asked, harboring a slight prejudice against Gongsun Mu.

After flying for roughly five thousand kilometers, a massive floating bridge appeared over the flat terrain ahead. Viewed from afar, it resembled an elevated highway in a modern society.

Yet amidst the flesh and blood flying all across the heavens, clusters of electrical sparks violently burst forth, and a bizarre skeletal frame fled in a sorry state toward the distant horizon.

At this moment, around the Blood Barren City, numerous demons and members of the monster clan raised their heads in astonishment, gazing in shock at the phantom projection in the sky.

He later learned that the phoenix had contracted a strange illness, and the reason Mr. He had ventured to Misty Mountain and Sunset Slope was precisely to find medicine for her.

Her cooking skills were extremely poor, so she virtually never cooked for herself and always ate out.

Hearing this, Yang Yu stepped forward directly, scooped Duo'er up into her arms, and tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes.

Although no lives were lost in Zhao Gang's family, the extent of the devastation—effectively ruining their home—showed the profound depth of such retaliation, and they had managed to secure tens of millions in compensation, the significance of which was self-evident to Li Yan, who valued money above all else.

"Keep up!" No sooner had Yang Xu finished speaking than Cui Yuanyuan grabbed him by the shoulders and leaped directly out the window.
