Volume 1, Chapter 29: My Relationship with Miaoyan Is Governed by Propriety and Restraint

"Lu Lang, it has nothing to do with me; those two birds must have been incited by someone to suddenly go mad!" Xu Miaoyan clung to Lu Changqing's waist, pleading, "Please, don't be angry with me..."

Tear tracks mixed with blood stained her face. Lu Changqing felt a pang of heartache and hurriedly pulled her into his embrace. "I know it isn't your fault. Someone must have used some underhanded means..."

Though he had clearly seen through her inner suspicions, Ling Muhua merely smiled in silence. He refused to explain, leaving her to fret in anxiety.

The Zhukov Training Camp was brutal; every fighter was instilled with a spirit of absolute obedience during their training.

In Zhao Heng's view, Yun Lu had no motive to assassinate the monarch. Chen Ao, however, had a significant motive: Zhao Ling! Chen Ao had come to the capital specifically to rescue her, and there was no guarantee he wouldn't take a desperate gamble when backed into a corner.

This world holds dangers you cannot imagine, lurking in every corner—this is human trafficking.

Suddenly, the Sect Master's aura shifted. The potent essence of Pangu's blood filled the space. Hou Tu's expression changed; this was undoubtedly the blood essence of the Father God. Who exactly was this person?

As for a "severe blow"... that was how Hou Xiaolan had described it. If she deemed it a severe blow, then it was surely a task of immense difficulty.

Wang Lingguan stopped listening to his excuses and said, "Kui Mulang! The Jade Emperor awaits good news at the Lingxiao Palace." With that, Wang Lingguan drifted away, leaving Kui Mulang behind to sigh in despair.

She only wanted to stay by Su Yang's side; she didn't think much about anything else. Such was her nature—if she knew what she wanted, she would strive for it, regardless of the cost.

The three ancestors of humanity cupped their hands toward the surroundings in greeting, but no one present paid them any mind. Instead, all eyes were fixed firmly on the man and the dragon trailing behind them.

Bai Daping had been in the garment business for most of his life. Quick to catch a hint, he realized that A-Jiu’s suggestion was brilliant. He immediately asked her to wait, scurried upstairs, and returned just as quickly, followed by a man dressed in lotus-colored robes.

Hannis retrieved the black box from the scouting ship he had prepared in advance and played the entire sequence, from the moment the starship discovered the antimatter planet to the moment it was attacked.

Seeing her lost in thought again, Qi Yao knew she hadn't heard a word he said. He sighed helplessly; this girl was perfect in every way, except for her habit of spacing out. He wondered what she spent her days thinking about.

Surrounded by dozens of men, the two remained composed and unflustered. They strode toward the entrance, not sparing a single glance for anyone else.

If word of this reached Feng Huailie, the fragile good impression she had just built would be completely shattered.

Most importantly, he had to find a way to remove the black characters on Niu Baobao's face. After all, the apothecaries of their Wanghai Sect had tried everything, only to find that the more they scrubbed, the brighter the characters became.

A-Jiu leaned against a sturdy wooden pillar, sitting on the floorboards. Her light pink skirt draped lazily, nearly dipping into the water. She didn't seem to care, idly plucking at the flower petals in her hand while lost in thought.

Passing through the Guanghua Gate meant entering the heart of the Imperial Palace; shouting was strictly forbidden at the gate.

The tide rose, and after losing nearly half of their ranks, the men in black finally reached the base of the Blood Bright City gates.

"Forget it. What is meant to be mine will be mine; what is not, I cannot force." Compared to the Soul-Snatching Bell’s constant sighing, Feng Yutian was much more composed.

The Sea Yaksha was at the Earthly Immortal realm. His voice carried a primordial energy attack that made the entire island tremble. The people within the South Sea Immortal Palace immediately reacted, and several streaks of light shot into the sky.

"Would you like to rest a bit longer?" Helian Heya looked at him and felt it was necessary for him to go back and sleep. Going out and walking around while so sleep-deprived would be extremely detrimental to his health.
