Volume 1, Chapter 41: The Heir Detests Her Touch So Much

Could the Shadow Guard be hiding somewhere? Long Wu wondered to himself. He did not linger, however. After telling Leng Yu to leave, the two transformed into twin streaks of light and vanished beyond the horizon.

They wandered casually through the city. Fortunately, no one questioned Yan Bin’s identity again, and the sword on his back helped conceal who he truly was.

At Xia Qingming’s arrangement, Xia Yu entered closed-door cultivation at the Xia family training camp. In truth, he was hardly idle; every day, he instructed the members of the Xia family who were taking part in the training.

With a series of sharp swishes, something spread out in front of him, firmly protecting its master. The other experts likewise brought out their finest skills and prepared to defend against the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Flood’s attack.

Wu Li was not particularly agitated. Lu Duanxing’s request did not surprise him in the least. If Lu Duanxing had not thought that way, Wu Li would have found it strange.

A white halo gathered in the Medicine Pot’s hands as he refined the elongated pink object. He inhaled the pink vapor through his nose and mouth, and at the same time, the tent beneath him rose once more.

After reaching level ten, every death results in the loss of one level. If an entire guild drops levels, the effect on its overall strength is naturally immense.

They were a fine pair of boots, wearable only after the second advancement. He would give them to Heaven-Shattering Ling Ying later. With these additional attributes, Ling Ying’s stats would surely rise by a considerable amount. When she loosed an arrow then, it would be an instant kill. He tossed the boots into his bag as well.

Why did the God King hope for both Lin Feng and Nihlathak to die? If it were Lin Feng, there might still be some justification. But what grudge did Nihlathak have with the God King to make him hate Nihlathak so deeply?

Scouting required exceptionally strong mental fortitude. Otherwise, one might frighten oneself to death without ever encountering real danger. Xiao Qiuyu was precisely the sort of person with a powerful mind.

The stage slowly rose. Sophie’s people stood upon it and delivered words of welcome, while the banquet hall remained utterly quiet.

“Why has Mr. Leng honored the Tang Corporation with his presence today?” Tang Mu’s gentle voice came from nearby. Leng Yixiao stared at Tang Mu with such hatred that his gaze seemed capable of transforming into blades and cutting him to pieces.

Yet the same was true in reverse: if one encountered a werewolf with little health remaining, the Hunter Card could not display its power.

Beside Zhang Tian sat a clean and fair-skinned middle-aged man. His surname was Zhen and his given name was Jia. He belonged to the Wuji Zhen clan and dealt in grain.

Gan Ning had not expected him to use such a move. The warhorse was slashed and let out a mournful cry before throwing Gan Ning to the ground and bolting toward the city gates.

Zhang Bao had no time to worry about anything else. He protected part of the camp, preventing the flames from spreading.

Qiye also emerged from the inner room. Seeing his master caught in such a difficult predicament, he could not help speaking up for him.

Zhang Mo cupped his hands toward Liu Xie. Since they had already fallen out completely, Zhang Mo no longer wished to kneel before him.

Liu Piaopiao was unaccustomed to kneeling in the Japanese style, so she sat sideways on the carpet and spread Su Ran’s coat over her legs to prevent herself from being exposed.

Song Kexin was not certain what the materials Leng Yixiao had brought back actually contained, but she wanted to bluff Song Yiqing. Sure enough, Song Yiqing and Wang Wan froze for a moment. Song Kexin shoved Song Yiqing aside and strode straight into Bai Wen’s room.

Yet when the envoy arrived with Tang Luo at the welcoming platform, all that greeted them were startled gasps.

After Mo Ruo finished tidying up, he took out a towel. Carrying a washbasin filled with clothes and toiletries, he headed toward the bathroom. He was probably going to take a shower.

Song Ci, CEO of the Song Corporation, one of the nation’s five hundred largest companies, fell in love with Gu Anran after a chance encounter with her.

“Come on! I’ll take you to see a doctor… no, a physician.” Seeing that his complexion was poor, Shiling could only take hold of his arm and try to lead him to a doctor.

The Ning family’s lady was unexpectedly calm. “Nanny, Zhan’er blames me. He blames me for losing him.” She pressed a hand to her chest, where the pain felt like a knife twisting inside her.

In such circumstances, Wan Qi naturally could not leave Xun at his side. Either of them might be the target. With Su Nian beside Xun, she would at least be somewhat safer, and anyone at the base could protect Xun and get her away.

“Knowing that you were wrong is enough to make you a good child. Sit down.” Xiao Yuan’s expression was cold and stern. An Yuyan did not dare approach recklessly, afraid of displeasing Xiao Yuan again, so she could only stand to one side and wait.

Madam Zhang wore an embarrassed expression and looked back three times with every step. Unable to argue with the First Prince despite her indignation, she could only leave.

But it was not until I went to university that I realized how vast the world was. There, I saw all kinds of beautiful clothes, shoes, handbags, necklaces, and earrings, and my heart suddenly burned with desire. I wanted to own those things.

“Of course we buy it. Are you here to sell gold?” The business manager looked Chen Xingchu up and down.

It was a simple meal of three dishes and a soup: tomato-and-egg soup, braised tofu, shredded pork with green peppers, and potatoes with spareribs. There was more food than yesterday. Shengxia placed portions of each dish into lunch boxes and put them in the refrigerator. That would be her lunch the next day.

When Green Luo entered and told Jiang Shiyuan that the Crown Princess had arrived, she had just changed her clothes and was preparing to lie down for a while. A trace of curiosity appeared in her eyes as she glanced outside before speaking.

But compared with Ghost Lantern Full Moon, Fuyuki Yukiko, and Uzumaki Yumi, this was still far from enough.

This time, he had specially invited Sig, the dean of Notting Academy. With the protection of a defensive Soul Elder, they would be far, far safer.

Tang Lin instantly felt power surging through every part of her body. Her footsteps grew lighter as well, and her body seemed to lose all its weight.

When he returned to the room and saw the water stains on the bedsheet, along with the quilt Shengxia had yet to return, Yan Chu nearly lost control again.

The Mist Village still had no method for cultivating natural energy. If one wished to come into contact with that power, the best course was to seek out the three legendary sacred lands.
