Chapter 152: Too Beautiful
At the epicenter of the assassination, the Tianxiang Tower.
At this moment, it was brightly lit.
The outside was heavily guarded, and the inside was crowded with people.
Qin Xiao sat in the main hall, and kneeling before him were the officials responsible for all affairs of the capital.
Hundreds of magistrates from the east, west, south, and north districts, along with various officials of the yamen from top to bottom, stood and knelt in extreme panic.
Prostrating themselves one after another...
Thus, an innate martial artist who had been suppressing his true strength arrived outside the city to make a breakthrough. Then, swept by a sudden impulse, a single long whistle stunned countless people into unconsciousness, culminating in a fierce battle with Chen Jincai, who had rushed over upon hearing the sound.
Guiding by the signposts, the group arrived at the competition venue—a picturesque spot nestled against the mountains and overlooking the water, so breathtakingly beautiful that the moment Gu Qingge laid eyes on it, she was involuntarily captivated.
"You don't need to explain so much to me, nor say so much. I just want to ask you: are you really breaking up with me? From now on, we will be strangers, with no entanglements whatsoever. Do you really not want me anymore, right?" As Lu Qinghe spoke these words, her voice was somewhat hoarse, and the corners of her eyes stung with a burning sourness.
Once the elderly eunuch departed, everyone present burst into a flurry of animated chatter, burning with the desire to know: when exactly did the Imperial Princess Yue go to side with that Master White Ox?
If it came to a match, Richard was probably more suited to Bo Jin than Hai Song. After all, they all knew that Bo Jin was someone gentle on the outside yet unyielding within; although she always seemed to be joking, she was a person of profound personal conviction and immense aura—a strength entirely unrelated to mere outward appearances.
Gu Qingge was slightly startled. The moist and warm sensation transmitted through her fingertips left her momentarily flustered and at a loss for what to do.
Bo Jin seemed to drift back into fond memories, a sweet smile blooming at the corners of her lips. "He said he didn't know; by the time he realized it, he had already fallen in love!" This reply was very much in Hai Song's style—devoid of flowery and deceitful words, yet simple and deeply moving.
Shi Longxiang naturally could not manage to evolve the three thousand Great Daos through sheer physical force. However, his physical power was already sufficient to shatter most DAOS.
Yet, after all, he was far too young. Once inexperienced youths found themselves in such intimate relationships within such a harsh environment, quite a few would simply sink straight into degradation.
Even while hiding within the Cihang Main Hall, the external sounds of lightning flashing, thunder roaring, and the earth shaking made the few of them feel as though gods and demons were bringing about the destruction of the world.
Since she was leaving, Xie Liuying hurriedly packed up her bundle of dirty clothes, along with the massive bundle of menstrual cloths that Ye Zhen had bought for her.
Sitting back down on the sofa to enjoy this brief moment of rest, Bai Ling was currently in quite a good mood, however.
Her hand still tightly clutched her elder sister's garment; perhaps doing so could alleviate some of that unpleasant mood.
That was a Daoist priest with grey-white hair and an aura of absolute righteousness. His eyebrows were particularly striking, appearing almost as if they were merged into a single continuous line.
Even celebrities did not have as many fans as it did; its fame resounded across the length and breadth of the country, with admirers scattered throughout every nation. Moreover, it had more than one name.
Finally, laid out on the table were array discs ranging from the fourth to the sixth ranks, along with a fifth-rank array diagram. As for those of even higher grades, Chu Li found them far too complex to craft—often taking several months to produce a single array diagram—and the materials for higher-tier diagrams were increasingly difficult to find. Therefore, she kept them for her own future use or to give away as gifts.
"Damn it, I'm just being kind-hearted! I'm just a guy with a handsome face and a good soul, you got a problem with that?" Gu Yi had grown up in the water stronghold and was most familiar with the aquatic conditions of the Ze River. His eyes flickered as he stared at the cloud-patterned robe on his body, wisps of still-warm white vapor escaping from his mouth.
"Well then, please wait a moment; I'll go prepare a bowl for the two of you right now." The old man nodded and turned back toward the kitchen.
As for Ming Yuesheng, after consulting with him, Chu Li had him carry the document of agreement concluded with the Emperor of Monsters, and dispatched A Bao and Linglong to accompany him directly into the territory of the Monster Clan to collect spiritual herbs, medicinal plants, minerals, and other treasures.
