Volume 1, Chapter 60: Mother Shen's Assistance
In this Age of the End of Dharma, for her to possess such profound cultivation at such a young age truly astonished Qin Long beyond measure.
The proprietress was in a much more miserable state than I was. Although I carried her on my back most of the time and bore the brunt of the impact, she still coughed up blood several times due to her lack of a Vajra Body. Yet, she gritted her teeth and persisted. Ironically, I still had plenty of energy left and wasn't nearly as wilted as she was.
"Who says there's no interaction? Isn't there a private booth right here?" Ouyang Wen suddenly chimed in, staring at Zhao Zhi with deep dissatisfaction.
"Isn't it comfortable?" I sat down as well. The task just now had been extremely difficult and consumed a considerable amount of physical strength.
After leaving the Emperor's presence, the two of them sat together on the same luxurious sofa—an unprecedented occurrence.
Geng Yehua cast a sideways glance at the people from the Jialuo Kingdom, then recounted the entire sequence of events clearly and in great detail. He even repeated every single word uttered by the young man without missing a beat, leaving the faces of the Jialuo people turning alternately red and black.
Su Rong couldn't help but draw closer, reaching out to touch them. Gaze fixed on the stems and leaves that continued to glow within his palm, the smile at the corner of his mouth grew wider and wider.
Fortunately, Madam Li had prepared a newlywed chamber for them; otherwise, returning to their former room would have driven Chou Qianjian to a breakdown.
Although the old master was somewhat partial, he wasn't unreasonably so. When it came to speaking tactfully and reasonably, he was quite adept.
The reason he mentioned a massage was primarily to mask his use of internal energy healing techniques to mend her legs. Although Father Xia knew he was the successor of an otherworldly expert, Qin Long, as an ordinary person, didn't think he knew about the existence of cultivators. Using internal energy healing directly might have simply frightened him.
Watching the Prince Consort make frantic faces and roll his eyes at the two of them—looking as if he might bristle like an angry lion and pounce at any second—Xiang Xing suppressed the smug smile playing at the corners of her lips and gently blinked her soft eyes at Feng Lan beside her.
In the end, she simply rushed into the room herself, grabbed a couple of wrapping cloths, and began frantically packing in a fluster.
With that, Yang Bin displayed the face of the "young lady" in his arms to Chen Lin. Indeed, she looked identical to the young lady in Chen Lin's arms.
Xu Nianyuan strode toward Ning Yu, lips pressed tightly together, her eyes filled with a complex mixture of heartache, murderous intent, and burning rage.
The spectacle was so grand that they could only assume it was caused by one of the city's few prominent figures. However, when the investigators returned, none of them turned out to be the culprit.
"Boss, aren't we here to support your business? Bring us thirty of your best skewers," Qian Yan commanded with a wave of his hand.
Meanwhile, the Wulan people in the north were growing increasingly restless, appearing on the verge of sparking a war at any moment. Eldest Uncle had already led his troops northward.
While suppressing his pent-up frustration and anger, Ouyang Lian could not help casting another cold, sidelong glance in Feng Lan's direction, his back molars grinding fiercely.
Having inadvertently healed two heinous villains and given them the confidence to continue their evil deeds, Mu Yanzu wanted to make amends for his mistake. However, knowing he was no match for the Liu brothers, he sought out Master Tong—who was also a victim of their deception—and the two of them cornered the Liu brothers as they attempted to flee under the cover of night.
Yaya pondered for a moment, then suddenly flicked its wings and brought up the analyzed physiological cycle data of the two individuals.
"God has not prearranged to cast the vast majority of mankind into an inescapable hell..." At the front entrance, a cleric of the Arminian persuasion was preaching doctrine. Li Qing and Christian's armored attendants stepped forward to chase them away, after which they crowded into Jan Beuckelaer's printing workshop.
Although Xu Zonggan was somewhat isolated from news, he was well aware of the ambitious and predatory nature of Eastern Lin. To learn that they had been utterly annihilated by the Heavenly Army in such a short span of time left him so shocked that he could not sleep well for several nights.
However, I must warn you: many people who seem like adults have read it only to declare they couldn't make heads or tails of it. I doubt you lot will fare much better.
Alice, Tess, and the others had no objections either. When Lin Chu was able to resist the temptation of five times the reward offered by Geese, everyone held him in deep and solemn respect.
Kang Shitou looked at Guo Huan with extreme surprise, as if the question he had asked was highly inappropriate.
Following the succession of Wanyan Diguai in late October, Tang Minjie remained in Shangjing for over another month, attempting to piece together a potential breakthrough from various fragments of intelligence. During this period, he frequently met with Cheng Min to aggregate the information she had gathered.
Although their numbers had dwindled, the dynamic of attack and defense had reversed; they were now on the defensive while the Heavenly Army pressed the assault against them.
Jiang Xiaolan was promptly choked by her own saliva, breaking into a fit of violent coughing. You Meng remained completely composed, gently patting her on the back.
Conversation had become impossible for anyone, and the fatty could no longer belt out his mountain songs. I didn't even know why we were still pressing forward. My mind was an absolute blank.
She took a deep breath facing the surface of the lake, found a clean spot, sat cross-legged, closed her phoenix-like eyes, and began to circulate qi through her dantian.
Indeed, in ancient times, resources and spiritual energy were immensely abundant, with powerhouses as numerous as trees and geniuses emerging in droves.
Mie Xuanling's beautiful eyes instantly widened in shock, never expecting that the Supreme Holy Ancestor Mie Sheng would personally intervene and descend directly above Xuan Zhengyi's head.
"Speak! What is your relationship with Tong Cheng? Why is his sword in your possession?" The strange man narrowed his eyes, which flashed with a devouring blue light.
Seeing his brother's submissive and deferential demeanor, Yuan Shikai let out a long sigh, the full weight of his melancholy overshadowing the crisp fragrance of the tea.
A thick, pungent stench of blood assaulted the senses. Combined with the suffocating aura of slaughter, it left the mind completely blank and induced a wave of nausea.
Yet, over the past few years, the First Emperor had exercised absolute, arbitrary power, tolerating not a shred of dissent. Apart from Ziying, anyone who dared oppose the First Emperor now had grass growing high upon their graves; they simply lacked the courage to question his decisions.
"Zao Xie-jun, do your best!" shouted the remaining island nation members, encouraging their compatriot who was stepping into the arena.
"Could any of you happen to possess this item?" The robust, burly man asked with an icy expression, his gaze sweeping back and forth across Qin Lie and his two companions.
"Yes, yes, it was purely by luck," Su Wan said, feeling a mixture of joy and lingering fear as she hurriedly echoed his words.
"Audacious! To show such disrespect to the Prince of Qin, do you Viet desire to invite the destruction of your own state?" The soldiers of the Qin army were naturally filled with indignation over the actions of the Du family's household.
With this ring, an assassin could achieve completely traceless attacks. From the initiation of an attack to its conclusion, not a single shadow of a person would be seen—that was the truly terrifying part. When combined with the assassin's own stealth arts, it was formidable enough to make one's scalp tingle.
