Chapter Sixty-Eight: Zheng Thirteen

Zheng Chi: …

She truly couldn’t eat another bite.

She was already so full that it felt as if the food was pressing right up to her throat.

It wasn’t just that she couldn’t take another mouthful—she feared that simply opening her mouth might—

Gag!

Don’t even think about it!

Zheng Chi had already retched once. If she ended up vomiting from overeating again… she would die of embarrassment and shame, never wanting to see Lou Yu or Wang Heng for the rest of her life.

Forcing herself to endure, Zheng Chi managed a strained smile:

Because now, within him, there was the Heart of the Demon. At any moment, the Heart of the Demon could summon forth the mad blood inside him, while the Law of the Demon could restrain the Heart of the Demon. Only by refining the Law of the Demon could he dissolve the evil within his heart.

Qiu Xue hesitated, uncertain whether to speak. Hibiscus furrowed her brow, a flush on her cheeks, as if she would throw her into the pool if she dared to stay silent.

“How is it? You want to study this too?” Liu Pingfan pulled a memory card from his pocket and smiled.

Bai Yundong said coldly, “This has nothing to do with you. If you dare lay a hand on Jin Xiu, I’ll fight you to the bitter end. Don’t say I didn’t warn you: even though this is Meng country, if I go all out against you, you won’t be able to withstand it.” So, for Jin Xiu’s sake, I too am willing to risk my life.

There was only one solution for these criminals—the most direct, the simplest, the most effective way: erase them from this world entirely.

“Ouyang, I miss you. I want to come find you, is that alright?” Fan Ai’s uncertain voice sounded.

Right then, the half-closed door was kicked open with a loud crash. Several dozen fully armed imperial guards swept in, swords and blades drawn, surrounding Yan Xunhuan and Duanmu Youning, ready for anything.

After removing her makeup, Lin Anran applied a facial mask and lay back on a lounge chair, making it clear she had no desire to speak.

“Yiyi!” Master, master, I’m back, all clean! Tangyuan grinned obsequiously, squinting his eyes and flashing a silly, ingratiating smile.

“Sister, what’s wrong?” Consort Liang deliberately feigned surprise. “Are you feeling unwell? You look so pale!” Get angry, get angry, Consort De. The angrier you get, the more you’ll hate Princess Yanning, and the more you’ll focus all your energy on dealing with her—then we can sit back and watch the tigers fight.

“Brother Jiuzhou, thank goodness we heard the news during dinner. Otherwise, how many more innocent souls would have been lost in this world!” Dragon God Ao gazed at me, sighing.

On the surface, everything seemed fine, but after Jia Jia fell asleep, Qin Yue still tried to take advantage of her. Startled awake in a drowsy haze, Jia Jia struggled desperately. In the end, Qin Yue spat out some harsh words and slammed the door as he left.

“Our Xinxin is truly remarkable.” This was Mother Ye’s assessment, even though she’d worried herself sick before.

“Villain! I tried to reason with you, but you refuse to listen and even dared to steal my Universe Ruler. This time, I will cast you back into chaos!” Furious after losing his Universe Ruler, Burning Lamp erupted in rage.

“Prince, there’s a monk outside, sitting not on a flying carpet but on his own kasaya, floating in midair, requesting an audience. He says he’s come to enlighten you.” A soldier came to report.

“Kaitlyn, in three days, we’ll be heading to the Netherworld Continent again. What’s your take on this expedition?” Lying on the grass outside the Skyfeather Camp council hall, Xizhou called up to Kaitlyn, who sat in the tree above.

Jiang Feng was rather surprised when he realized what this meant, as he had no idea why the Supreme Elder wanted him to do this.

While rescuing someone, Chen Fan cast a disdainful glance at him. The policeman grew angry and tried to step forward to hit him, only to realize he was now surrounded by a crowd, all glaring at him furiously.

After leading the others out of the room, Zhaxi remarked, “Looks like Xizhou and his crew are doing pretty well here. You can tell just by how well they’re treated.”

Instructor Wang watched the two stride boldly into the center of the courtyard, only to discover, as they drew near, that these servants seemed even younger than Wei Dayong.
