Chapter 36: The Deranged Couple (3)

"You are so useless!" Mi Yiqing glared at him. Rather than wasting breath, she would rather continue the search.

Ouyang Lietian’s heart tightened immediately. Director Wang had warned that she must not be subjected to any agitation, so he hurriedly pulled her into an embrace: "Mimi, don't cry, there, there, don't cry!" He sounded as if he were soothing a child.

When she looked in the mirror wearing her wedding dress, the makeup artist nearby had exclaimed that she had never expected it to fit so perfectly, as if it had been custom-made for her. Although she knew there was likely a component of flattery in the woman's words, she still felt truly happy in her heart.

Seeing those beautifully written messages, for a fleeting moment, she desperately wanted to call him and say, "Why don't we just leave this place and live a quiet, ordinary life?" Yet, her finger hovered over the number, unable to press down. Perhaps, when it came to matters of the heart, she ultimately lacked the necessary courage and passion.

"I have no obligation to manage other people's affairs!" Ouyang Lietian said coldly, turning his head away.

"Which palace is she from?" the Fifth Princess asked casually, eating a grape before closing her eyes again, feeling quite comfortable in the gentle breeze.

With the Empress absent, the banquet felt much more relaxed than it had in the afternoon. Various styles of palace lanterns were hoisted high outside the Hundred Flowers Palace, and the garden was in full bloom, with a subtle fragrance drifting through the air.

She had only seen such a smile five years ago! Su Nuannuan’s heart suddenly pricked with pain, and the expression on her face dimmed involuntarily.

If the fighting continued, the remaining men would likely be insufficient to withstand the enemy. It was already dusk, and the prime time for battle had passed.

Mi Qiqi walked out of the room under Mayor Liu’s lingering gaze, and silence returned to the chamber.

He struck decisively. The moment the Great Sun Treasure Spirit Light Shield blocked the God-Weeping Slash, he unleashed thirty-six fierce sword auras. They streaked toward Jun Ao like meteors amidst the blinding light, but the result left Guang Tianyun astonished.

When his consciousness swept over, the Fire Rabbit looked around vigilantly, its eyes filled with confusion.

These people were currently walking the path to their own destruction; Ye Feng had no reservations about dealing with them.

The Heavenly Dragon’s struggles grew increasingly weak, while Lin Jinghao’s expression grew more sinister. He didn't make many movements, yet all the cultivators felt a chill run through them.

But Yang Qi believed in the capabilities of her people. What she needed to do now was adjust her state and wait patiently.

At the same time that Jun Ao fused the Demon Heart and Buddha Fetus, deep within the Demon Spirit Cave, in a dim cavern, the giant Earth Spirit suddenly let out a howl.

It was a pity; the Yan family had been so intoxicated by this music that they neglected the most basic cultivation techniques. When disaster struck, the Bewitching Immortal Melody proved useless, leading to the destruction of their family and the loss of their legacy.

The Yinling Gate was the ruler of a region near the Clear Blood River, and it was the first force to surrender to the Demon Lord after his rise. However, for the past three months, the atmosphere throughout the Yinling territory had been unusual.

A red shadow suddenly darted past. Lin Yuanqing couldn't help but shout, turning to bolt away. But just then, the shadow flashed, appearing before him, and a blood-red claw descended toward him.

To Uncle Chao, this was earth-shattering, apocalyptic news; how could there have been no hint of it until now?

Lan Jing'er sensed that everyone was out of sorts and in low spirits, though she herself felt perfectly fine.

As she spoke, Dark Moon began to chase after Xu Feng with them, laughing and playing. Passersby who saw them couldn't help but look on with envy.

The Soul-Burning Ring, which should only exist in the God-Falling Temple, had appeared within the Divine Fire Sect. This could only mean that behind the Divine Fire Sect stood that behemoth known as the God-Falling Temple.

"Lan Jing'er, listen to me—this isn't optimism; you're just being heartless..." Saint Plus remarked from the side, speaking on Huayan's behalf.

Suddenly, deafening battle cries and strange, unknown roars filled his ears. A world of blood and fire appeared before Zhao Mu's eyes.

He had him take off his black suit jacket, leaving him in only a grey shirt, then unbuttoned the top two buttons and rolled up his sleeves. "Chin up, chest out, Hamil," he said with satisfaction.

"I... it’s because the food from his kitchen is irresistible just by looking at it and smelling it, you know? What was I supposed to do?" Elsa replied with a hint of haughtiness.

Whether there were other stories behind this, his grandfather Lu Jiaxi didn't say, and Lu Can didn't want to pursue it—he couldn't believe that the decline of the Lu family's Guangli Firm wasn't due to the corruption of the managers below.

"No, no, I have kept your previous teachings in my heart. I know that haste makes waste, and you only have my best interests at heart!" Gu Qiuyue hurriedly waved her hands, though her eyes had already regained a touch of their lively, mischievous spirit.

By this time, the wounded on the Jun family side had been bandaged and treated. Seeing that everyone was ready and glancing at the corpses of the bandits covering the ground, Jun Moye gave the order.

Seeing this, Bai Xianfeng grew anxious, worried that Old Madam Ji would take everything of value from the Jiang residence. Wouldn't that mean he had come for nothing?
