Chapter 61

Gu Han answered the phone with surprising speed; it was almost as if it had auto-connected the moment the call went out.

"What are you afraid of? What is it? What happened?" I lay in bed, texting and chatting with Li Man.

Wang Jicai said repeatedly, "That's good! That's good! You go back and tell Dabao, just say his grandfather let him down!" As he spoke, he raised his sleeve again to wipe the corners of his eyes.

Originally, he had no right to inquire, but seeing Ye Lingfeng's displeased expression, he knew there must be something wrong with this matter.

"You're here!" Seeing it was his second son's family, Elder Master Si's expression remained expressionless, appearing rather cold.

Su Han looked no different either. That just left me. When I saw Zhang Xue, I felt it was very strange, or at the very least, it gave me an awkward feeling in my heart.

"Why are you keeping your head down? You still owe me a meal. When do you plan to pay me back?" Jin Nian said leisurely, his tone relaxed.

This agreement sounded like we were getting the short end of the stick, but deep down I had a vague feeling that there were loopholes we could exploit.

Yet his hands had already begun to untie my clothes, his hot breath puffing against my neck, tickling me.

The thing I feared most was about to happen after all! Could the wheels of history truly be unstoppable?

Wielding the heavy as if it were light, three revolutions of reincarnation! Could the hidden true strength of this Envoy Chenyu, who had always remained shrouded in mystery, actually have reached the Azure Pinnacle of the seven-colored rainbow?

Thinking of my mother, my throat choked up slightly. Would her spirit in heaven witness this moment? Would she be happy to see me recover my status as a princess? Would she feel comforted to see me avenge them?

Wen Chenghe followed them out. Until that trace of red vanished from his line of sight, he remained stiffly rooted to the spot, unmoving.

Looking at Tokisaki Kurumi before him, Zhang Liang did not know everything she had experienced during the short time he had just been away, but at this moment, he clearly understood that this was not a Tokisaki Kurumi he could easily provoke.

She would never forget for the rest of her life that her first child had been kicked out of her womb, alive, kick by kick.

"Muxue, are you serious? What is going on? Does Qingyi really not need to stay behind? Did the Emperor agree?" Chen Fei asked in astonishment. This sudden news left us hardly able to believe it.

"There's no need. It's not even certain whether Chengcheng is your child; these shares are what I ought to return to you." Having said that, she placed the Art Department's report on Xiao Cheng's desk.

A robust physique, a height definitely exceeding two meters, the flames burning on both sides of its cavernous maw, those serrated wings now changed from the old inner-blue and outer-black to an all-encompassing form, and the symbolic flame upon its tail—only now burning with a deep blue fire. This was undoubtedly the most perfect embodiment of power among the Charizard species.

In fact, he had tried to have someone assassinate him several times. But Xiao Cheng had only smiled and replied: If we hire someone to assassinate him, wouldn't we just become the second Chai Ge?

Although excited inside, everyone suppressed their emotions, trying hard not to show them on their faces because they knew Brother Lin was angry and that there was more to come.

That oppressive feeling made his head spin, his chest swell, and his limbs begin to grow heavy.

Sinfinger struck Chelsea before she could retreat in time, creating a bloody hole in her shoulder.

"You two should listen to General Xia. Even if what you say is true and your sect truly possesses a True Monarch, you are merely ordinary Zhenren, whereas outside Yumen Pass, there are four Zhenren. You are no match for them," Daoist Chiyun frowned and said.

There is nothing momentous about that either; I shall simply employ the move "Begging Alms Door to Door" and gracefully dissolve it. Disciple-nephew Chengguan said that this move must be executed as if wielding the heavy as though it were light, so as to display the demeanor of a orthodox martial arts sect.

At this moment, martial cultivators hiding in the dark were also trembling, their willpower and beliefs beginning to collapse.

The scales of the serpent's body were extremely sharp. As it flew out, those scales shot forth like darts breaking through stone, striking directly at the beasts nearby.

Every time a gunshot rang out, another blossom of blood would appear on the Minotaur's body. Suppressed and unable to retaliate, he could only protect his vital areas.

Rowell used his ability to blow away the surrounding smoke and dust, and was immediately stunned by the chaotic devastation all around him.

Li Xian's Ten Strategies for Peace in the Country inherited almost all the policies of the Great Emperor, save for the Farmstead Law—the explanation given by His Majesty for that thing was to restore the population, but Li Xian always felt something was amiss.

Legend has it that when a person dies and turns into a ghost, their vital essence returns to the heavens, their flesh to the earth, their blood to the waters, their veins to the marshes, their voice to the thunder, their movements to the wind, their eyes to the sun and moon, their bones to the wood, their tendons to the mountains, their teeth to stones, their body fat to dew, their hair and fur to grass, and the breath of their respiration transforms into wandering souls, returning to the netherworld.

Wherever one walked, there were plum blossom decorations. Some were planted directly, while others were potted landscapes that had been moved in. A cold fragrance lingered, and delicate perfumes overflowed. A gentle breeze passed, and lush petals fell, embellishing the monotony of the snowscape.

Thus, in the center of a four-star hotel lobby, an exchange of a very humiliating pillow fight began between myself and a foreign toddler, drawing sideways glances from countless people.

Wei Xuan naturally responded with eager assent. Seeing that midday was approaching, Wei Xuan feigned an invitation for Zhou Xuan to stay for a meal. This was merely polite convention; he had originally assumed Zhou Xuan would never agree, but unexpectedly, Zhou Xuan agreed outright, wearing the expression of one who felt completely at home.

I raised my eyes to look at Tang Xiaoru, only to see her pair of exceedingly beautiful eyes also looking at me with a smile. Although her hands covered half her face, even that half was the most beautiful countenance in the mortal world.

To steady the hearts of Gu Yanteng's faction, the Emperor had been visiting Consort Gu's quarters every day lately, bestowing endless favor.

This deep sense of loss, powerlessness, and bewilderment... was even harder for him to bear than a hundred or a thousand defeats.

"Shut up!" The puppet soldiers beat the two disobedient villagers indiscriminately with rifle butts, casually binding their mouths shut with ropes.
