Chapter 48 Where are you touching, young marquis?

Although Young Marquis Gu rarely showed his face in public, he remained the very center of public attention and debate.
People have always been covetous of power and wealth.
Those with money desire power, and those with power desire even more power.
As it happened, Gu Yunchai possessed both, coupled with such striking good looks that people truly wondered which window the heavens had ever closed for him.
When Shen Zhining and Yuzhu rushed to the Thousand Flavors Tower, they saw a jujube-red steed tethered in front of the entrance. Its coat was sleek and glossy at a single glance.
"Could it be that to conserve energy, the tribulation concentrated all the power of the fourth heavenly trial into this fifth one? Damn it! That is way too perverted!" Even the normally composed Lan Xin cursed aloud at this moment.
Tong Xinyan’s lips twitched as she glanced at the man beside her. So this bane of existence could whip up a demonic gale wherever he went, bewitching all living souls.
"Lady Sushu, why don't we step down and walk the rest of the way? I have already ordered people to wait ahead. The imperial capital's night market is even more magnificent than those in smaller towns, and taking a stroll through it will surely lift your spirits," Qian Ze said with a smile.
With that, he assumed a languid posture, leaned back comfortably, and was just about to pull out his phone to put on a show when Cheng Fan could no longer restrain himself.
Behind the gossamer veil was the princess's peerless countenance, every flutter of her brows and every smile resembling a painting. Her hair was adorned with simple decorations, accented by a bird's feather and a silver card.
The Soul-Devouring Spear possessed boundless magic and the ability to consume souls. Moreover, it could play an unexpected role in combat, often catching opponents completely off guard, which made it a renowned demonic artifact within the six realms.
Suppressing his fury, Elder Cheng scrutinized Cheng Ming. Seeing that Cheng Ming still wore a look of profound worry, he turned his gaze to Chu Bin and Cheng Ming.
Yet it was not enough, still not enough. The severed trees regenerated fully within the span of a single breath, their branches lashing out toward the crowd like grasping hands.
However, engaging in transactions prior to entry naturally precluded any rare items. After all, if anyone truly purchased something rare and caught the eye of others upon entering the Spiritual Fortune Desolation, it could easily become a death warrant.
Seizing the opportunity, the Black and White Twins jointly hurled the Tai Chi disc. The intense spiritual resonance sent a wave of threat rippling through the mercenaries in the carriage. By this time, Iris and the others had climbed onto the roof of the carriage, only to be greeted by the sight of Hain, who had completely lost his will to fight.
"Go tend to your wounds, all of you. We'll share a drink tonight," Chu Xiu waved a hand at them and turned to leave.
Cang Muxu took a direct punch to the nose, sending blood spraying everywhere. Before he had a chance to counterattack, Xia Yichen tackled him to the ground and beat him mercilessly.
Glancing up at the towering plaque bearing the inscription "Commander's Office of the Brocade Guard," an aura of murderous intent and bloodlust washed over them. This organization had ransacked the estates of countless high-ranking officials and slaughtered entire households of wealthy merchants.
Xu Changsheng gazed at the azure dragon before him and strolled forward, completely unconcerned that the creature might suddenly strike and execute him on the spot.
"Can we get out of the car now?" Siyrui Yuan shifted his gaze toward Su Hanyu, who had been sitting inside the carriage enjoying the show all along.
Before these six black holes stood an indestructible grand bridge. Countless wandering souls traversed it—some grumbling curses, some consumed by curiosity, and others paralyzed by terror—their lucid eyes fixed upon the Six Paths, stirring an indescribable sentiment deep within their hearts.
Qian Yuan quietly heaved a sigh of relief, stepped forward, and pulled free the long saber. He had already analyzed it with his Insight Eyes; as long as the blade's inner power was not provoked, it posed no danger.
"Anubis's Amulet is an item that grants a flawless resurrection without any negative side effects. You should have heard of it. It is a resurrection item of an even higher tier than the Resurrection Cross."
The old beggar chuckled, leaving behind the message that once the twenty thousand copper coins were paid, the blueprint would be theirs, and told them not to bring up other matters. Knowing too much was never a good thing.
Why couldn't I move? I struggled desperately, feeling a strange sensation in my heart. Aside from my neck, my entire body was paralyzed. Terror gripped me instantly; if I remained unable to move, it went without saying what horrors would befall me next.
