Volume One, Chapter 98: A Shower Cannot Douse the Burning Passion

"Ho—" All the Western warriors let out inhuman roars, fiercely charging at the three men in black one after another, disregarding life or death, displaying a fierceness surpassing even that of death-bound soldiers.

Li Si snorted coldly, "I told you, if you have no gold, silver, or jewels, you can use people to make up the numbers. Handle it yourself." With that, Li Si released Zhu Meiyan’s tightly clenched delicate fists and turned away, thinking to himself, no matter how you scrape it together, I haven’t even taken out the capacity-expanding Heaven-Sealing Ring yet—consider yourself lucky.

The chaotic raid that had barged in ended in a comical conclusion, truly a happy ending for all involved.

Lin Feng couldn’t understand why Xie Wanting, having endured so much to enter her dream school—a prestigious university—would then voluntarily take a leave of absence.

Dandan pulled out a jade bottle again, her beautiful brows tightly furrowed. After a moment’s hesitation, she resolutely took a fierce gulp.

“Xi Jin pays respects to Her Royal Sister-in-Law.”
“Xi Wei pays respects to Her Royal Sister-in-Law.”
These two were the Third and Fifth Princes, respectively.

Suddenly, Lin Feng’s phone rang. Upon checking, he realized it was Chen Xinni calling him.

Once the three realized what was happening, they chased after Qin Yang, summoning one magical treasure after another toward him.

To ensure Prince Ning’s loyalty, Zhu Di promised that once he secured the empire, he would share the realm equally among all—each person receiving half.

“I care not for eternity, only for having once possessed it,” Lin Xia whispered softly to Karilan, uttering this classic line.

As the five entered the pitch-dark public hall, the iron gates slammed shut behind them. Staff pulled down curtains outside, completely blocking out any external light.

After digging, Lü Shuo quickly fashioned a furnace out of eight round stones and placed iron ore and coal inside.

Later, once the human body was tempered through physical refinement, gaining increased strength, they could ingest a higher-quality refinement elixir, greatly shortening the early stages of cultivation and training disciples. Firmly adding water, half an hour later, fresh Overlord Branches, sliced Nine Suns Red Flame Bamboo, Deep Sea Cold Crystals, and Snow Demon Cores were consecutively thrown into the pot.

His wife, still from the supernatural realm, upon learning of her cousin’s situation, felt grateful for her cousin’s sacrifices for that family. She thus did not ask her cousin to reincarnate and treated her with great kindness.

Liang Yan was adaptable; after downing more than half a cup of wine, she seized the moment, tossed the cup onto the tattooed big brother, and fled.

Were it not for Qingyun Sect and Pingtian Sect helping out of old friendship, the Medicine King Valley would have collapsed by now.

After speaking, He Tingchuan’s phone rang. He glanced at the number, answered, and walked while talking.

Mu Xuan occasionally felt a kinship with Hun Huan, hearing that the Demon Lord Hun Huan was also skilled at archery. Sometimes, he longed to test his skill against Hun Huan’s.

Regarding the so-called Battle Royale mentioned on the panel, he vaguely sensed it was more complicated than just those three words.

“That’s hard to say. Though I don’t know much about the Demon Spirits, it’s always wise to be cautious. If you already suspect he might be from the Demon Spirit faction, then with your radar-like intuition, you’re probably right,” Brother Ping’an furrowed his brow and said.

Ahead lay a forest dense with intertwining vines, tangled grass, and shrubs, the thick canopy casting a somber gloom. Yet, Saya was unafraid, gently parting the undergrowth bit by bit.

Luo Lan suspected something was amiss, so casually asked to see the divine power imprint of the divine corpse. To his surprise, the other party indeed sent the imprint, which was genuine—a complete centipede-snake dragon divine corpse, its divine essence intact.

Cui Qigao led several hundred people fleeing northeast. After a few days without signs of pursuers, the situation eased. However, their meager rations from the mine were depleted, and with no tents or supplies, their greatest enemy was now the harsh natural environment.

When four eunuchs slowly unfolded their items, Xue Chongxun recognized them instantly—a map! He examined the characters carefully: Map of the Great Jin Dynasty’s Realm.

The ministers exchanged glances. The outcome of the meeting was already clear, so why postpone discussion until tomorrow? Each pondered silently, unwilling to voice their doubts. Zhang Jiuling glanced back at Du Xian’s face, but saw no expression—his demeanor was calm and composed.

After entering the camp, Yue Mu respectfully saluted Xu Pinggong. Though the commander was a young man barely in his twenties, not as senior in rank as Xu Pinggong, he held great prestige among the soldiers.

Xue Chongxun smiled, "Mother, you flatter me." He thought to himself, not long ago, he had been indiscreet with his mother-in-law, yet she defended him, blaming Sun Shi instead. In truth, he had deliberately lured her into trouble from the start.

However, Yin Zhen was not pleased. Worrying about Empress Tong, he hurried to pay his respects. Seeing her complexion fair, he was somewhat reassured. After withdrawing, he rushed to Fengxian Hall.

Jin Mancang’s letter not only informed Xu Ping of the new army’s planned general assault tomorrow but also detailed arrangements regarding He Baodao.

Suǒ É Tǔ busied himself with organizing the sacrificial rites and imperial decrees. Three days later, he would join Tong Guogang and Mingzhu to head to the front camp.

As for Jiang Mi, Lady Cui was unfamiliar with her. Feeling flustered and uneasy, she had no mood to exchange idle chatter with Lady Cui the Elder. She forced a smile but said nothing.
