Volume One, Chapter 29: Winning Hearts and Minds

"You haven't been at Falling Rain Garden for very long, have you?" Mei Lingxi asked.

At the final moment, Lu Tao chose to help Shen Xiao. With unwavering resolve, he sacrificed his life, striking the Bodhi Lotus with a single blow of the Vajra Finger Zen. Watching this unfold, Chu Lei’s eyes widened, as if he could not believe what was happening before him.

Since the other party had shown their sincerity, Kai Luo naturally could not let their efforts go to waste; he immediately brought out the gift he had prepared for his arrival.

Qi Zhen recognized the sedan as Xie Yashu’s vehicle and quickly stood up, calling out loudly toward the car.

That didn't seem right either. The Sky and the Black Dragon had clashed many times; given that old man’s modus operandi, how could he have allowed an outsider to see his face? That would be equivalent to leaking his identity. Could it be that the Qin family’s sudden withdrawal from Shanghai overnight was because the Black Dragon had discovered this and intended to silence him?

Under the siege of three disciples in the late stage of the Yin Eclipse Realm, the battle puppet on the right was struck repeatedly. Its light flickered, yet it continued to resist with astonishing endurance.

If the ten most perilous lands could be destroyed so easily, would they still deserve to be called perilous?

And then? Everyone watched as the One-Eyed Bull Demon, previously burly and imposing, suddenly seemed to deflate like a punctured tire.

After escaping and recovering his strength, Qin Hui felt the fires of hunger in his belly growing ever more intense, to the point where he yearned to gnaw on tree bark just to stave off the starvation.

"Stone, don't be afraid. Mother is here, Mother is here." The old woman clutched her son tightly, crying and begging the old man to spare her unfilial child.

Upon entering the Frozen Lands, the map began to display the boundaries of the Snowy Region. The Snowy Region was the heart of the Frozen Lands, and within it lay the Lost City of the Snow.

The tense and uneasy day finally came to a successful end. Because of Xiangxiang’s smiles, the Emperor was in an excellent mood, and consequently, Jingshu received much better treatment.

Such a heaven-shattering secret was enough to terrify anyone. The Demon Lord never parted with his weapon; for what reason would he leave the God-Slaying Spear behind in the God-Defying Palace?

That night of intimate indulgence, though still somewhat rough, saw the Emperor simply enjoying himself in satisfaction, without subjecting her to any verbal or physical humiliation. For a fleeting moment, Jingshu felt as though she were experiencing the happiness of being cherished.

Theoretically, the Feng family would not do such a thing. But these words had come from Feng Qingyang himself. Could it be that the Feng family’s scales were beginning to tip in favor of the Fang and Luo families?

Normally, the sisters were very close, but whenever one of their bedroom doors was closed, they would always knock before entering.

"Elder Brother, you don't really think that, do you?" the North Sea Dragon King asked, looking at the East Sea Dragon King.

"Hmph! The Second Young Master’s words are truly baffling. It is getting late, and I should be returning. Please feel free to do as you please, Second Young Master." Mu Chengfeng flicked his sleeves in anger and turned to leave, though his heart was filled with suspicion regarding Long Qianyin’s attitude. Had they discovered something?

Propelled across the river, Pan Chen’s figure surged behind the two demon corpses surrounding the clouds. With a flash of cold light from his blade, Qianqiu, the two demon heads fell to the ground, and Pan Chen seized the opportunity to reach the clouds.

Upon hearing the Ghost Demon Rat’s words, Hu Li froze and stared directly at him. In fact, it was not just Hu Li; the Heavenly Demon, Lu Li, and Yang Li were all staring intently at the Ghost Demon Rat.

Gu Chen had recently become obsessed with Ke Lan, so Li Mofan accompanied him every day to watch it. Father and son would discuss the plot as they watched, sometimes even arguing over certain storylines.
