Volume One, Chapter 32: Whose Dog Has Come Out to Bite?
The smile on Bai Xiaoxiu’s face froze instantly.
"Understood, Mr. Cheng." Bai Xiaoxiu stood up and was about to leave when Cheng Zhengchu called out to her.
"Wait."
Her heart surged with wild joy. She turned around gracefully, flashing a sweet smile. "Is there anything else you need, Mr. Cheng?"
Cheng Zhengchu glanced at her, his voice cold. "From now on, dress more appropriately for work."
"Alright, for the next period of time, I will be training you all, striving to turn you into a cohesive unit!" Qin Ming declared.
The people at the Black Wind Water Stronghold likely had no idea that someone like Song Yu was on the boat, nor did they know what they were up to.
It was a rose bracelet. The flower, though not large, was encrusted with rubies and bordered with a golden frame. The chain was crafted with overlapping, intricate loops; the workmanship was complex, yet it did not appear the least bit cumbersome—it was breathtakingly beautiful.
Just as in the original story, after the Cell Saga ended, even though everyone’s strength had increased significantly by the Majin Buu Saga, that was still the result of seven years of accumulation.
She had originally intended to refuse outright, but upon seeing Song Yu and his sister, her impression of them wasn't bad. Especially given her current state, she was finding it hard to care for herself.
That place was originally another "secret realm" of the Wanshou Palace, the site where the Great Xia Water God, Luo Yuanzhou, attained the status of a Half-Saint, and the "Water World" where the Sinful Dragon Emperor comprehended the path of the "Invincible."
Shen Qingjia sighed and set down the account book. In truth, ever since Zhou Nan arrived, she hadn't been able to focus on the accounts at all.
All nine elders of the Heavenly Blade Sect had originally been in Qingzhou City, but Bai Wushuang, considering that the mountain gate was left unattended, had sent one back. Now, there were eight elders remaining.
The entire capital knew that the Emperor had bestowed a marriage between the Chief Councilor and Princess Changle; the servants simply assumed the person he was holding was Gu Ciyin.
The Chu family already held the majority of the Great Sheng’s military power. Since ancient times, those who held military authority were feared by the Emperor. If they continued to act so recklessly and without restraint, they would surely attract many enemies.
He Zhixian chased after him with a chuckle and muttered in a muffled voice, "You think a four-legged beast like you can outrun my Ghost-Shadow Footwork?!" Though he was talking to the horse, he was actually cursing Yang Qing.
"Go to hell!" I ignored his rambling, grabbed a log from the ground, and swung it. "Whoosh..." The log whistled through the air with a terrifying sound, but to my dismay, I realized I hadn't hit the man in black once, not even brushing his clothes.
"It’s not Master’s fault; I was the one who did something wrong in the first place. Master has already shown mercy. If the senior or junior brothers had committed the same mistake, they probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed for a week." Lu Chenxi squeezed the words through her teeth, hissing in pain.
While everyone was eating, Lei Hong walked into the cafeteria with four rogue immortals, followed by Yun Kong, Yang De, Old Youzi, and the others, all present.
I gathered everyone into the Sealing Ring and used the Mist Invisibility Technique to slip away from the palace, which was heavily guarded. The Purple Thorn Emperor held me, his son-in-law, in high regard and had specifically arranged for numerous expert martial artists to protect me.
Meanwhile, He Buwei, sitting cross-legged by a stream, kept his teeth clenched tight. He didn't speak, but stared fixedly in the direction of the voice.
Shangguan Yun stroked the silk-like neck of Taxue and said proudly, "Taxue is incredibly fast, and my lightness skills are not weak either. Why not take a gamble and attempt to take the heads of Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan from amidst the million-strong army?" Hearing his praise, Taxue neighed softly.
"Didn't I tell you? These clothes and the money for the killing are two different things. If you're not satisfied, take them off and get the hell back there naked."
Lei Li followed the method given to him by Wen Yu. He pressed his right hand onto the black crystal at the end and channeled his earth-attribute battle spirit into it.
