Chapter 47 Who do you think you are to meddle in my business?

Zhangsun Wuji cupped his hands in a salute, and Su Jiu naturally returned the gesture in the same manner. With that, Zhangsun Wuji turned and left.

Eriri stammered, genuinely terrified. She was by no means ready to become a sadist, nor was she prepared to be dominated by anyone else.

Time slipped away drop by drop, and before they knew it, a quiet month had passed. During this month, shielded secretly by the Myriad Puppet Sect, the disciples of the Spirit Refining Sect searched far and wide but completely failed to track down Su Jiu and the others.

The attendant took the roster, turned around to face the spherical barrier, and cast the application list into it. Instantly, the list transformed into an orange-red point of light, which then melted into the miniature city model of the Thyslan Fortress.

Inside the furnace, the magma swirled and converged toward the center in an orderly fashion. The closer it got to the core, the more blindingly vivid the color of the magma became; by comparison, the magma at the edges looked as dim as a shadow under the moon.

Nonsense! How could the Hero possibly like someone like me? It is fake! It is all fake! And I am fake too!

Wang Quan offered a formal bow and then said, "This old slave means nothing by this, only hoping that Your Highness will think twice before acting in the future. Since His Majesty's message has been delivered, this old slave will take his leave. I still have to report back to His Majesty." Having said that, Wang Quan turned and left, leaving Li Chengqian behind with a face as dark as iron.

At present, the county garrisons of the various commanderies in Hedong were forced to face multiple trials simultaneously, naturally raising the difficulty significantly.

Kirino said indignantly, abruptly hanging up the phone and leaving Yue Le utterly bewildered in the wind. Why do I keep getting this strange feeling, as if a husband went out to fool around, got caught by his wife over the phone, and was told, "Just wait until you get home, I'll deal with you"?

Yue Le sat back down and pondered quietly. Mitsuha must be my name now, right?

Ye Wei naturally understood the implication, and the only reason he was so willing to undertake this troublesome chore was because his makeshift master had promised to teach him a few things in return, which was why he finally agreed.

Lacking the social experience of his elders, Duan Tianhe could never have anticipated this. He had simply wanted to stir up trouble for no reason, taking the opportunity to provoke Ye Zhifei and step all over him on the spot. Never had he expected that such an offhand remark would end up infuriating his own father and third uncle first.

Only then did the Grand Preceptor snap back to his senses. Noticing that the expressions of both the monarch and the chancellor were rather grim, he spoke with cautious deliberation: "This subject is of shallow talent and truly cannot discern anything definitive at present." After a brief pause, he elliptically alluded to the celestial phenomenon suggesting the Grand Empress Dowager's days were numbered. Daring not state outright that she was about to die, he merely mentioned that the astral portents were ominous.

"Zheng, if you dare lay a single finger on this prince today, I will surely make sure you die without a burial place!" the Prince of Liang's heir roared with disheveled hair, looking for all the world like a vengeful ghost.

Previously, Zheng had heard Liu Chengfeng and the others mention that the true backbone of the Dalie Royal City's combat forces was not the regular army, but rather the Imperial Guard, which had been forged through countless trials. One had to know that the recruitment and selection standards for the Imperial Guard were exceptionally strict.

The Grand Sovereign unleashed a torrent carrying eighteen brilliant colors, yet for a moment, it proved powerless against these three peerless forces.

Zhao Fengnian had initially been deeply moved listening from the side, but this final sentence made his eyes widen like saucers, and he let out a childish, forceful huff.

After pushing the iron cabinet out of the airlock, he glanced up at the clock and found that there was less than nine minutes left out of the original ten. A wave of panic gripped him, and he thought to himself that it was high time to use the forklift to transport the military weaponry.

At present, Ye Wei had no idea what the system prompt meant by this so-called "job advancement." Based on his impression from playing video games, a job advancement was simply synonymous with transforming from a blank, untalented profession, or a common one, into an advanced profession.

His eldest sister's wedding was scheduled for next year, and their mother was already bustling away to prepare her dowry. If the eldest sister wanted to take her out for a stroll right now to pick out some fabric and jewelry, their mother probably wouldn't stop them.

Little did he expect that the moment he stretched his finger toward the bedside, something suddenly shot out from beneath the covers with a sharp snap, clamping firmly onto his right hand. It turned out to be a steel trap bristling with sharp spikes.

Although Ma Danna could not permanently harm him for the moment, Jiang Chen had no desire to become endlessly entangled with her. He therefore decided to leave the area first.

Brat Wu dared to humiliate me in public! This time I must find a way to have your entire family executed, and then I'll sell your wife to a brothel to see if you still dare to act so arrogant.

To give a simple example, Chen Hao had already introduced the contents concerning plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums, but these four could actually be extended to encompass much more.

"Weren't those ghosts all dealt with? Are there other troubles?" Jiajia asked.

Faced with the surging, bone-chilling aura of corpse miasma, Zhao Ya showed not a trace of fear. Her fighting spirit flared even hotter as she pushed the peak of the Sword of Supreme to its absolute limit.

Picturing Han Lingyu's expression of utter disgust toward Ai Yuman when the time came, Meng Lan's smile widened a fraction.

Compared to the tense and anxious atmosphere in the Prime Minister's residence, Liu Zhihan slept quite peacefully. Jun Qingye had also entered her chambers the previous night, and knowing that her poison was likely acting up, he had refrained from disturbing her.

Stepping out of the Mission Hall, Zhao Ya's mood was naturally one of bubbling joy, for this was her first time earning sect contribution points, a thought that made her endlessly happy.

Not until everyone in the private dining room had departed did the figures in black at the other end also leave the Drunken Fragrance Restaurant.

Yet gazing at the lifeless Azure Bull Python, Li Yi smiled happily. Today he had not only slain a powerful ferocious beast, but he had also surpassed himself and conquered his inner fears. This was his greatest harvest by far.

As for Liu Fei, he was slumped limply like the Chaos Bell, completely devoid of color in his face, with his eyes tightly shut, making him look precisely like a corpse.

Mu Jinghong folded his paper fan, his gaze sweeping all the way from the prone Qiao He to Ling Jiantong, who was being supported by Situ Qianchen.

"The words spoken by this Wang will not be repeated a second time." Yin Shangmo's expression turned frigid, his demeanor icy and commanding, pressing down with an overwhelming pressure akin to Mount Tai.

Rumor had it that Liu Fei was formidable in a fight, and since he had successfully subdued a wild boar just moments ago, Gong Jiang was well aware of his strength, yet he felt no fear.

Because Xiong Feng was an official left over from the former king, and though he had explicitly stated his loyalty to Lin Zhenghao, Lin Zhenghao was not about to trust him so easily. Consequently, in many matters, Xiong Feng merely played a minor, background role within the Haolong Guards.
