Chapter 56

Although I had no idea what Zhao Lai meant, one thing was certain: he was considered to be on our side. As long as he could pull out the long sword, it would still count as a victory for us.

Every pore on my body seemed to open up in an instant, and that spine-chilling sensation is something I will never forget for the rest of my life.

"Besides, Han Xue, Liu Qingci, don't you care about their lives?" the Peacock Great Ming King looked at me and said.

That smash acted as a direct catalyst; without another word, the two sides immediately started a bloody brawl with iron rods.

For a year, ten years, or even a century, they remained thus sunken into the illusions of sin, unable to extricate themselves.

It flapped its wings, trying to fly up once more, but it could no longer do so. Previously, its entire body of feathers had been soaked, and it had relied solely on the gale-force winds to avoid crashing; now, it could forget even trying.

"I've really never ridden in such a high-end car. Aren't you afraid I'll dirty it for you?" My body imperceptibly drew back a little. It was too close; the air I breathed carried the scent of her mouth.

Zhou Wei went to the billiard room, took some effort to find out the location of the surveillance room, and headed straight there.

"As for those who made a move against him, some were bribed by extraterritorial races, while others acted out of fear that his growing strength would eventually threaten the Three Realms!" Laozi said slowly to me.

Just at that moment, the long sword in my hand completely obliterated the Blood Demon clan member who was at the peak of the Entering Dao realm. His eyes were wide open, seemingly filled with disbelief.

The old Daoist priest had originally wanted to showcase his image as an adept of the wondrous Dao, but now he didn't dare put on airs at all. He immediately opened his gourd and aimed it at the malevolent corpse lunging toward him.

"Are you really sure nothing is wrong?" Shen Yi was still somewhat worried and couldn't help asking one more time.

Elder Xu saw the astonishment in Mo Liang's eyes and deliberately put on a casual expression, though there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

Her profession as a doctor was one that grew more valuable with age, and she was a pediatrician at a top-tier hospital nationwide, which cemented her inherent worth.

Seeing this, others naturally stopped coming over to disturb them, allowing Shen Yi to take good care of Ye Wanwan.

Later on, Ye Wanwan sent a few more messages, and Shen Wenzhou patiently replied to every single one, not feeling in the least bit that his meeting was being interrupted.

He could already feel the chill. His former allies, Hu Er and Yu Shiji, had already drawn a clear line between themselves and him. Now Pei Ju was competing with him for favor. Given time, once he fell out of favor and Yang Ming struck him down as well, it would probably spell the ruin of his entire family and household.

Tang Ning looked at her with amusement. In her eyes, Ming Lanying's reaction clearly betrayed her outward denial with her blushing face.

The old man put away the wooden box, turned around to take a porcelain bottle from the wooden shelf behind him, and handed it to Mo Liang for inspection.

Those light gray wisps of gas drifted rapidly toward him. As they drifted, the shape of each wisp changed, gradually turning into individual gaseous skulls that bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they lunged at him.

Finished speaking, Immortal Yitian paid no more attention to the young man, turned, and walked a few steps toward the doorway. He looked outside at the maple leaves in the courtyard dancing in the wind. No matter how beautifully they danced, they were merely at the mercy of the wind, and maple leaves that lost their freedom were desolate indeed.

"But don't forget, a person like that would give up anything for fame, wealth, and status. Compared to a child, the latter is probably far more important to his official career. According to what you said, the Zhou family doesn't even know yet that he can no longer have offspring; how could they possibly let Sun Hui'er's child through the door?" Jiang Yuanhe pointed straight to the crux of the matter.

Hua Qingyan naturally saw it too and whispered softly into Mu Zilan's ear, finally bringing a smile to Mu Zilan's face.

"It has such a heaven-defying function?!" Hearing this, Yun Fan could not help but draw in a sharp breath. Wasn't this far too monstrous?

"Hello, Chu Xinzhi. Let me introduce myself. I am Huoyun Wuji, the leader of the Huoyun Alliance." Huoyun Wuji reached out his hand in a friendly gesture.

Ji Weiyan rested his head on her shoulder, breathing in the indescribable, fresh fragrance of her body, and could not help taking a deep sniff at the nape of her neck.

Yet seeing Chu Yang's nonchalant, seemingly confident expression, the Queen furrowed her brow tightly, wondering what on earth this Chu Yang was thinking—was he just putting up a bold front, or did he genuinely have a sure grasp of the situation?

After finishing, He Chuyao opened the piece of paper and found that there were no stains on it; it was a completely clean sheet of paper.

This was the opening market of the Lanbian Settlement under his jurisdiction, the economic foundation of Lanbian County. He had proclaimed the Lanbian Settlement a safe zone, guaranteeing safety to anyone who came. If Bai Jingyuan were to die here today, Chu Zheng could already foresee the dim future prospects of the Lanbian Settlement.

The feeling of desolation deep within her heart spread like a tide, and she drifted there listlessly, temporarily unwilling to do a single thing.

Ning An saw that Harry had returned. Sure enough, right after this, Dumbledore re-announced the house points, and Gryffindor's score surpassed Slytherin's. The green in the Great Hall was replaced by bright scarlet banners, silver was changed to gold, and the giant Slytherin snake vanished, replaced by a mighty Gryffindor lion.

He looked up, about to offer a few words of praise, when he suddenly noticed that the gazes of the people around him were somewhat peculiar and rather subtle.

"It has to do with me?" Jian Ruocuo sat across from Luo Fan, glanced at the spiritual tea on the table, and then took out another set of tea utensils from her storage bracelet.
