Volume One, Chapter 30: Those Who Love Their Children Plan Far into the Future for Them

"Young mistress, the lily and lotus seed soup from the small kitchen is ready!" Luqi said, walking in from outside with a bowl.

The figure slumped over the table lifted her head, glanced at the soup Luqi had brought, and, with a roll of her eyes, asked wistfully:

"Is there any more in the kitchen?"

"It’s fine, I’ll just eat a little more." Han Lin’s brows were knitted tightly; Lou Yanni could see it clearly, and she felt a warmth in her heart.

Hearing this, how could Qi Xiaolan not understand? Her expression slowly turned to despair. As she looked at her father, the world in her eyes grew increasingly dim.

After all, the strength of the younger generation is not that formidable. As long as the elders are present, even if the juniors fight with their lives, there is a high chance they can be stopped.

Just then, however, the hall doors opened, and a group of large men dressed in black suits walked straight in.

"Young Master, I know of a Spirit Turtle in that place that has reached the rank of a demigod! That fellow comes from the same Black Dragon Pool as I do, and his defense is astonishing. We have been enemies for nearly a thousand years, yet neither could do anything to the other!" The Wild Jiao, having found a strange sense of belonging, began to offer schemes, immediately playing a high-stakes card by mentioning another demigod rival.

Those streaks of blood vanished rapidly under the colorful phosphorescent glow, and her exhausted spirit, battered by torment, was nourished. She felt as if she were soaring into the clouds, so comfortable she couldn't help but moan.

Although this Tier 1 potion could be purchased on the black market, the quantity was extremely limited and the price exorbitant; it was considered a very precious item. However, since this was the first gift Wang Mulan had ever given her, it would be rude to refuse.

Just imagine how terrified the Yue people must have been of Chanyu Modu, given that he had even decapitated their king.

Hall Master Sanyue, who was accustomed to having her word be law, did not expect anyone to defy her. The atmosphere suddenly tightened, and tensions flared.

Lin Zhixiao pondered this question, called Lin Xiaohai to retreat with him to his second-floor bedroom, and sat down at the computer to draw out the basic formations of the Nine Swords of Yin that Tang Mofan had been practicing.

By the time Lin Zhixiao finished pounding the ginger and garlic paste, Liu Yueli had finished cooking the dishes, and Du Zhan had already grilled a large platter of oysters and seven or eight king crabs. The three of them ate dinner while sharing jokes, and Du Zhan continued to grill oysters and king crabs in the microwave.

The object was black and glistening—it was definitely not something good. I retreated in a hurry, swinging the Ice-Fire Amber repeatedly, only then seeing that the black substance was several clumps of thick, dark clouds. They resembled cotton candy and were even pulsating slowly. All my sword techniques passed through the black clouds and vanished into the void.

Xia Liu was startled upon hearing this. The strength of the Commander Yin Wuying and the General Dao Hun alone was likely quite impressive, and with the other malevolent entities added to the mix, the situation would be even more troublesome.

"That’s right. Once those below take it upon themselves to activate the city’s defensive array, Xia Zixuan will have nowhere to hide, not to mention that there is also an unfathomable City Lord," Mo Yi said after a moment of thought, realizing the severity of the situation. This was not something they could gamble on.

"What did Gao Xiaoyi say to you? You look so absent-minded," Hu Jieli said with a smile as she saw Wang Jinran walk over silently.

Leaving Zishu Border City to Leng Bingjue was something Yang Gu and I had discussed. Whether he intends to set sail or return to port, he must pass through Liehu Island, which happens to be right within our line of sight. If he dares to carry high-grade ore, the new generation of pirates that Chang Xuan has been training will give them a big surprise.

She had always been such a vacillating and submissive character. Whenever she encountered difficult decisions, she would always hide rather than face them. Qian Yun knew this better than anyone.

At the same time, powerful demon clansmen attacked from both sides. One, as sturdy as a bull, had fists that boomed like thunder; like a great mountain, he slammed toward Xia Zixuan.
