Volume One, Chapter 53: The Second Sister, Wronged by Her Reborn Stepsister in a Period Drama, Part 12 [Expressions]

“Yueyue, is this what you meant when you said Pearl was going to be killed?” Zhang Ronghai looked at her speechlessly.

Mo Mo rubbed her nose and chuckled softly. She never expected that in this village, there would be such hidden talents like a crouching dragon and a hidden phoenix.

The chaotic scene didn’t last long. In this fairy tale world, equivalent to medieval Europe, the knowledge and insight Yang Yi possessed were absolutely unique. After all, he was a merchant. As the saying goes, business is like war. Though Yang Yi hadn’t studied much military strategy, he knew more than most, which was enough in this backward fairy tale realm.

Therefore, a villain’s reputation was a matter that harmed one’s moral virtue. Although Murong Yan wasn’t exactly kind-hearted either, she prided herself on not being so cruel and ruthless.

Yang Yi was both amused and exasperated. He had drawn four twos and discarded them, yet he ended up with the Queen of Hearts. Could it be that the Queen of Hearts missed him? Turning to look at others’ cards, he found that aside from his pair of hearts, everyone else’s suits were different. This meant he had become the target, awaiting everyone’s inquiries.

“Definitely, definitely!” Sir Lev answered without hesitation. To him, soldiers fought battles, coachmen did their work, but their families were merely freeloaders. Besides wasting food, they served no purpose. He couldn’t understand why Yang Yi wanted these useless burdens.

The Empress Dowager, fearing that her reckless younger brother might cause trouble, hurriedly pulled him back. Yet how could she possibly restrain Ling Zheng, who had fought on countless battlefields?

The physics enthusiast Li Cheng, upon hearing this for the first time, felt a vast force pounding him into unconsciousness.

After a day and night of flight, the Sky Wind Chariot was nearing the fissure in the sealing formation of the Beast Spirit Withered Valley. At this moment, aside from the cultivator steering the chariot, the others were meditating quietly, recovering their spiritual energy spent on controlling the vehicle.

At this moment, Tian Xuanzi only needed to channel his power into the Vast Sky Mirror. By harnessing the mirror’s strength, he could easily sever the connection between Bai Yue and the Soul-Devouring Black Mist. This would allow him not only to seize a magical treasure but also to severely wound Bai Yue—killing two birds with one stone. Hence, his composure was so unshakable.

Several cavalrymen stealthily slipped through the gate under cover of darkness. Though they knew discovery was inevitable, no one expected a sudden streak of fire to shoot through the night like a blazing dragon. Startled, the warhorses instinctively halted their hooves.

A-Biao was no better than me; he staggered out of bed, swaying with every step as he made his way to the door.

It should be noted that the aura on ordinary magical artifacts usually forms through special patterns like the Bagua or dragons etched upon them. Yet this stone, unprocessed and raw, already possessed a perceptible aura.

Su Ruhui lifted the curtain and stepped inside, only to find the inner room empty except for a single set of table and chairs by the window. Boiling water simmered on the table, while Ganran, her purple sleeves half-rolled, was intently dividing tea cakes.

The red coral bracelet he appraised—a fake the moment he touched it—was worth at most ten coins.

Thinking this over, Zhao Zixuan quietly gathered a surge of Divine Chef’s Qi, gently channeling it into the colored cup.

Such an open rebuke of Concubine Ning was already a great loss of face for her. The Empress Dowager had always favored her, so for her to speak so harshly and strip her of power indicated she had been quite angry the night before.

“Sir, he says he has something to report about Miss Yan Yu,” Lu Nanfei whispered, adding quietly.

Zhao Zixuan smiled and patted Pang Rong’s shoulder. “Really. If you can make it out alive, I’ll see you in a new light. Good luck to you.” With that, he took Yan Hong’s hand and stepped down from the stage, heading toward the door.
