Volume 1, Chapter 40: Su Wanhua Discovers Discrepancies in Shen Nian'an's Identity

Qin Yundi pulled her into his arms abruptly, burying his face in her neck as he inhaled deeply. His voice trembled as he said, "I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime. For the past year, you were the one I worried about most."

The two armies collided in the fire-free zones amidst the raging inferno. Soldiers from both sides roared, thrusting their sharp swords at the enemy and trading volleys of magic.

Driven to a feral state by the mad dog, Wen Yiming grabbed the fur on its back, gritted his teeth, and struck its head and back with a wooden stick with all his might. He cursed as he struck, his pent-up resentment erupting in an instant.

Yang Shan’s heart sank to the bottom of a valley. She clenched her fists tightly, knowing that the chance for the Feiyun Merchant Fleet to turn things around had just been buried by her own hands.

"You are not at your peak. Surrender immediately, or do not blame me for disregarding our shared sect ties," Zhang Dao warned Situ Xiang.

Lin Yue was sitting cross-legged, recovering his strength, when Zhang Linyi stepped forward and stood with his hands behind his back, just half a meter away.

Nalan Mingxing overheard the conversation between Nalan Dijiu and Baili Tianchang, and could not help but become more wary.

Zhao Yutong looked at her, his eyes flashing in the darkness. Suddenly, he pulled her into his arms, giving her a fright.

He did not know Shen Yanyu's name, but having heard Yun Jingchu address him that way, he followed suit.

Chen Songming did not recognize Shao Dongyang. He was unsure if he truly knew his boss, Liang Zhenhua. After circling a few times, he decided it would be best to take everyone back for a talk, just in case this guy really was acquainted with the boss.

"Is... is this where you live?" Sima Wuji stared at the so-called house in front of him, dumbfounded. By his standards, this was no place for a human to live; even a thatched hut would be better, and this hardly qualified as that.

The head of the Ruluo family had basically confessed everything. However, the Cheng family believed the "mysterious expert" who appeared at the end was merely a play staged by the Ruluo family to confuse the other two clans and cover up the truth about Chu Xi’s presence.

"She said she has seen Heluo Bi frequently visiting Gao Ying’s manor lately, and she fears that if Gao Ying gains too much power and controls the imperial court, the Prince of Jin will be ruined with no one to appeal to," Li Yuan said cautiously, watching Empress Dugu’s expression.

Wang Hao listened to the unfamiliar music, acting like a puppet at Yang Yuran’s disposal. After all, there was so much music in the world; it was perfectly normal for him not to have heard it.

Sima Wuji still felt dizzy and listless. Pang Tong seemed accustomed to it, waking up refreshed, and Xu Shu was perfectly clear-headed as well. Only Sima Wuji remained groggy, unable to fully shake off the effects of the alcohol.

Secondly, you must not target Mi Xilian anymore, because she has no intention of dating Wu Hongxiong; they are merely classmates with a decent relationship.

He could not let Xu Yuan leave. Even if it meant Xu Yuan discovering his lewd and absurd past, he could not bear to watch her slam the door and walk away with hatred in her heart. Though both scenarios were heartbreaking, how could the taste of them be the same? He would rather choose the former than accept the latter.

When Cheng Jin said this, his voice had softened considerably, shedding its earlier coldness.

Following Xu Lei’s shout, two golden beams and one purple beam instantly collided with the beams of the Floating Jellyfish. If it were just one beam, they would be no match for the Floating Jellyfish—after all, it was a Level 50 boss.

Yi Yangqianxi remained as he always was, not having said a single word since he arrived. He was like a block of ice, unapproachable.

"Heh, although our wages here aren't low, compared to Australia, the gap is truly significant, isn't it?" Mou Huiyang said to everyone with a chuckle.

"Tch, Brother Dong, you officials have to think over and over even just to say a word. It’s truly exhausting to live like that!" Mou Huiyang pouted after hearing this.

As dusk began to settle, Xue Niannian led her people into the dense forest in the northwest corner of the hunting grounds. Chu Ning deliberately arrived a little later than them.

As Ren Wuxin drifted in and out of sleep, she felt the arm wrapped around her waist tighten, and it seemed to carry a trace of chill.

Facing the Ghost Child’s strange behavior, I had no mood for breakfast. I hurriedly chased after him, wanting to open the Ghost Child’s door. But the door was locked tight, as if embedded in the frame; it wouldn't budge an inch.

"What was the result of your diagnosis?" Sima Jun asked, his gaze fixed through the gauze curtains at the person inside, his tone devoid of emotion.

I smiled slowly along with them, turned back, and walked forward slowly with Zheng Xue beside me.

The players burst into laughter, jeering at the "bastard" from Daqi Village. The envoy, helpless and seeing that they wouldn't listen, had no choice but to return to report.

There was another commotion outside the hall. Many had only heard that Qian Buchou had lost a bet and taken a traveling physician as his master, and were skeptical. Now, seeing Qian Buchou kneeling in public to pay his respects as a disciple, they were astonished, murmuring in disbelief.

This time, Ni Sihui finally wore a look of tenderness. After all, this was the fetus she had carried for ten months; how could the bond of flesh and blood be shattered by the pain of childbirth?

All the players knew that unless another village in Wuwei County upgraded to a large village, such a spectacle of NPC wild generals swarming in would be hard to see again in the short term—yet, no medium-sized village in Wuwei County showed signs of upgrading. Thus, this opportunity could not be missed.

As soon as the couple entered the shopping mall, the Deputy General Manager of Sales, Hai Cong, who had known he was coming, had been working there and rushed over to welcome them upon receiving notice.

As they fought, the burly men realized something was wrong. They had been convinced that a monster like Xiao Yinjian who couldn't be killed was a once-in-a-century, or even once-in-a-millennium, occurrence. How could another such resilient freak have appeared?

"Elder Kong, are you saying this treasure has already been bound to his soul?" the man in golden armor asked, sounding somewhat incredulous.

Apart from that baseless dream, Xu Chi did not feel there was anything strange about Uncle Mo and his wife.

Li Xian thought of Li Laoda and the others. Despite not seeing them for three years and having forgotten most of the bad things about them, if he tried to recall, he could still remember them clearly.

Although he dared not speak such treasonous words, Chu Feng still intended to offer a few moderate taunts.

After the video was posted, it was spotted by staff at the short-video platform within five minutes. They were tasked with monitoring data and videos, and if they felt a video had the potential to go viral, they would manually boost its traffic.
