Volume One, Chapter 61: The Final Condition

Lin Wantai smiled faintly, yet there was a hint of inscrutable meaning hidden in her expression.

"After the Prince's Residence is rebuilt, there will be many commercial partnerships involved—such as the supply of medicinal herbs, the procurement of cloth, the transportation of grain, and so on. All of these, I can entrust to you."

But now, with Nanny Wang present, no matter how mischievous Taoyue might usually be, she still held a measure of awe for this elder who was both friend and mother to her.

As for the Six-Leaf Windfall Fruit, although it was an exceedingly rare fourth-tier spiritual treasure, it was of little use in the hands of ordinary disciples of the Ye family. Even if half were given to Ye Chao as payment, what harm was there in that?

At these words, the disciples nearby began to speak all at once, their conversations rife with scorn and disdain.

What Mu Qiu did not realize was that this moment of indulgence left a seed within Leng Yan's body. The next time they met, it would be when Leng Yan was heavily pregnant and about to give birth.

The next instant, the profound energy within Yang Hao surged forth, while the Demonic Fiend Body Technique wildly mobilized the baleful aura in his body. At this moment, pure yang energy coiled around half his form, while the other half was shrouded in sinister yin energy, making him appear both righteous and wicked at once.

After finishing her words, Lu Liuyun cast Ye Yi a look that brooked no refusal, brimming with goodwill.

Behind Ye Feng, the tiger demon's four legs were already trembling uncontrollably, as if it might collapse to the ground at any moment.

At this moment, the faithful gazed up at Gong Wuxie with eyes filled with adoration and guilt, inwardly cursing a certain unscrupulous rumor-monger from head to toe.

Within Five Elements City, tall buildings were a common sight. In Peach Blossom Town, the highest tavern—the Drunken Immortal Pavilion—was only three stories high. But in Five Elements City, a three-story building was nothing special. Even though it was already night, the streets bustled with light and activity, livelier even than the daytime.

A raging flame of gossip was kindled in Yun Zijin's heart. She leapt from the soft couch, sneaked beneath the table, and lay on the floor, peering out at the scene through the tablecloth.

Yet, relying on past experience and her own confidence, Li Li still attributed the cause to the young man who had only recently started working and was merely a contract employee.

Gu Chen was startled upon hearing these words, but then, in this moment, a wild joy lit up his face.

She packed her things in a frenzy and flew back to her country. When she saw Mo Yufan, she could barely recognize her—reduced to skin and bones, her hollow gaze betraying utter despair at all she had lost.

Countless attacks battered against the luminous barrier before them. Under this onslaught, the enormous visage began to tremble, much of the force spent in that very place.

Perhaps all the men of the Tang family suffered from selective amnesia; otherwise, how could Tang Chen forget that he himself was not particularly likable most days?

Gu Chen was already right in front of him now. If he unleashed his attack, how could he possibly withstand it?

Military Commander Zhang of the Western Territories reminded himself that Gong Yefang had ties with all the major sects and military governors of the domains, and harbored rebellious intentions—he still could not quite believe it.

The school suffered an unprecedented attack. Though they managed to repel the invaders, the cost was heavy: many students were killed. Gray's life was spared, but the nation lost many of its future pillars.

"What did you call him?" The private room was chilled by a cold draft from above, but the temperature was even lower than the wind itself.

Luo agreed wholeheartedly; if they hid inside the dormitory building, in such cold weather, even if they didn’t freeze to death, they would surely fall ill. The nighttime temperature was several degrees below zero.

Lin Tian suddenly transformed into a phantom. The tendrils formed by the Guardian’s Shadow King’s Touch passed through the illusory wrist, for Lin Tian was no longer there—he had swapped places with his afterimage, appearing behind the Guardian. With a dagger in hand, he stabbed directly at the Guardian’s back.
