Chapter 56: So Thoughtful

"Fifth Young Miss, your constitution is delicate, and you haven't fully recovered from your illness. You must take good care of yourself and not push yourself like this! Fortunately, the medicine was administered in time. I will write another prescription to consolidate your recovery, and you must avoid catching a chill these next couple of days. Your body simply cannot afford another setback!"

Although the Prince had supposedly gone to the imperial palace, he returned to the estate in the dead of night accompanied by his prospective bride, leaving Uncle Ji burning with curiosity.

"I have caused you trouble once again, Uncle Ji."

"Not at all, not at all. Fifth Young Miss, please warm yourself up first～" With that, he turned and spoke to Yin Sumo.

The black-robed elder swept backward out of thin air, and two coiling dragons swirled for a moment before following closely behind. Instead of advancing, a fraction of the Blood Demon Ancestor's primordial spirit retreated, as an even more powerful fatal strike was currently being brewed.

"Alas, this fellow is utterly fragile. I merely struck him once, and upon hitting the ground, he dissolved into a puddle of bloody mud..." Su Li shook his head regretfully, bending down to place his hand upon the puddle of gore.

"Sigh, it has been so many years, yet Second Senior Brother, you are still acting the same way. What you are doing amounts to disrupting the normal order of the netherworld. Aren't you afraid that King Yama will file a formal complaint before the Jade Emperor?" Sha Seng reminded Zhu Bajie.

Zheng Hao gritted his teeth: "Very well!" Driven by his trust in Feng Shaoming, Zheng Hao made his decision without a second thought.

Without giving the gray-robed man the slightest opening, Wu E fiercely hurled him down toward the distant sea surface, crashing into the water with the impact of a falling meteorite.

That man grew angry, his voice rising significantly as an immensely formidable aura emanated from his body, his gaze turning pitch-black and gloomy.

The cage was placed atop a mountain rock, completely exposed without any shelter, left to the mercy of the wind, sun, rain, and frost. Naturally, the lives of these people were hardly worth pitying, especially the prisoners who had attempted a nocturnal raid in an assassination plot against the Xia Emperor—they truly deserved no sympathy.

"Why is she speaking to you instead of me?" Wu Xianqi voiced his lingering confusion.

"Hmm? Are you speaking of Master's affairs? Over a thousand years have passed, and I have long since forgotten what Master looked like, alas!" The Dean seemed stirred by the memories, his posture growing even more aged and frail.

Having said that, he ignored the master and servant duo behind the screen and directly directed the people to stream inside. True to his word, they bustled about the two rooms, moving tables and carrying chairs, tearing down curtains, pulling away table cloths, and keeping themselves frantically busy.

Everyone wore expressions of utter bafflement. The seal had been shattered, yet why was there still no sign of the Dragon Island?

I wanted to stop them, but I lacked the strength to walk, lacking even the strength to intervene. My legs felt as though they were filled with molten lead, immovable. I watched as my grandfather, with words hanging unspoken on his lips, finally just shook his head, sighed, and walked away as well. In that instant, my tears broke through the dikes, continuously streaming down.

Immediately after consuming this hibiscus pomegranate, his divine power surged tremendously, and in a flash, all the toxins within his body were forced out.

Taking advantage of the moment she handed the tissue to wipe Yueya's tears, Qian Zhenzhen forcefully suppressed the sudden heat rising behind her eyes.

Given his martial prowess, stepping in to discipline half a dozen ordinary security guards was, to put it mildly, an act of sheer bullying.

However, Qin Feng shattered these starlight rays with a single wave of his hand, and immediately thereafter, the power of devouring was unleashed.

I looked at Lin Zeyuan, looking at the only person who had stayed by my side from the very beginning until now, looking at the man I had defied the heavens and crossed through some three hundred lifetimes to finally be with. This time, we could finally be together without any obstacles, yet my heart stubbornly refused to take another step forward.

The morning light filtering through the window was somewhat dim. Sure enough, on the very first day of the Lunar New Year, it began to snow once again.

Lin Zeyuan asked Chen Chan, though what Chen Chan replied I did not catch clearly. As I gazed at Tang Gongru, who sat motionless with darkened lips, it felt as though the entire world had grown utterly silent. My ears could hear nothing whatsoever, and my vision blurred in wave after wave.

A terrifying spiritual bombardment surged forth in that instant, shattering the azure fire hammer in the hands of Protector Junren into countless fragments.

The smile on Wei Rui's face was thoroughly perfunctory and forced. Ruyi knew all too well just how agonizing it must be to marry someone you do not love.
