Volume One, Chapter 49: Sister, You're a Bit Too Terrifying

"Go to hell!" Diao Pengyun stomped heavily on the ground, leaped into mid-air, and hurtled straight toward Chu Qian's neck.

The massive body of the blood-red skeletal dragon, the Taotie, coiled in the air. Then, its mountain-like head suddenly plummeted downward, and an ancient divine pressure descended instantly, fixing its terrifying dragon eyes, ablaze with golden flames, upon the six Demonic Sect Emperor-realm powerhouses.

Yet she worried that no one would support her; after all, now that she was older and married, who would still want to let her show her face in public?

"That's right, Cousin doesn't have one. I wanted to give it to Cousin, so Cousin shouldn't be angry anymore, okay?" Qingyan coaxed Mulan Hua with an adorably naive expression.

He slowed his pace slightly and glanced back. Sure enough, they were still maintaining a distance of one body-length behind him.

First, he defeated twenty top-ranking ancient martial arts geniuses from the school, and then, in a sparring match with the principal, he forcefully defeated him, even driving the principal to spit blood.

"I'm guessing it's a rabbit." Lin Junyu pretended to stroke a nonexistent beard, wearing an expression that said he had known it all along.

I struggled forward desperately until, finally... I was pressed flat against the ground by the increasingly narrow corridor. There was no way ahead.

With only one day left before the new disciples reported to the Kongkong Sect, a group of seven—Yangnian, Li Qiansong, Xiang Rongrong, Xiang Yunfei, Gu Yun, Aman, and Zhang Fan—slowly made their way along the imperial highway driving two large carriages, heading toward Mount Kongkong.

Yet Yangnian remained completely motionless, letting the surge of vital energy sweep across his body until it finally dissipated entirely with a soft pop.

In a short while, Gu Meng actually managed to shake off Guan Chenji, which finally allowed her to slow her pace.

"Fine!" Fu Mingyang could not be bothered to care about Ye Tianyu's arrogance; he nodded, signaled the others to step back, and remained in the arena. Clearly, a brilliant sword duel was about to unfold.

The entire world was dyed red. The Mount of Sea and Heaven had become a realm of shattered walls and ruins everywhere. The second defensive mountain gate, having held out for less than half a day, was utterly destroyed by the allied forces of the three tribes.

"Mother, I am not tired yet! No matter what, today is Second Sister's grand wedding, and as her elder sister, I simply cannot fail to show my face!" Although Helan Lengchun spoke thus, her eyes, when gazing at Helan Lengxia, clearly and unmistakably revealed a deep-seated hatred.

However, these few cucumbers were hardly enough to whet Daniu's appetite, and without rice, the few of them could not make a meal out of scallions alone. Daniu had no intention of going to other courtyards to look for food.

As Xiao Qingcheng's gaze swept past the clothes, a sudden sense of familiarity struck him, as if he had seen them somewhere during the day.

Clearly, given the circumstances at the time, the kitchen had been filled with white smoke, and he hadn't paid much attention to Song Yiyi's plain, made-up appearance; he had simply felt, for no apparent reason, that she looked somewhat familiar.

The words Bao Chao had just uttered were also arranged in advance by Zeng Guofan, employing a strategy of avoiding the crucial points to dwell on the trivial.

After saying this, Zhao Fuxin turned and walked away, unwilling to let his mother see his tear-filled eyes, unwilling to cause her worry.

Seeing that Bao Qibao had effectively issued an order to see guests out, Taciubu could say no more. With a helpless bow, he dejectedly stepped out of the Governor-General's Mansion, mounted his horse, and left with his guards.

Leidu nodded to Captain Bass, and together with Rex, walked toward the first row of tables to begin selecting treasures.

Lin Yaozi also wanted to play dumb to get through this awkward atmosphere, but Fan Boru had no intention of letting her escape. He reached out to wrap his arm around her waist, using a slight force to pull her directly into his embrace.

Shen Jiahe was accompanying Madam Shen in receiving the Shi family. Although today was not a major occasion for the two families, Shi Xiangjie had brought his younger sister along to deliver the wedding attire to Shen Jiahui, so they naturally had to be treated with proper hospitality.

What mother in the world would ever hold a grudge against her own child? Thinking about it, something felt wrong.

In the past, Dai Xiyan had only ever watched the national flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square on television; now, witnessing it with her own eyes could be considered fulfilling a long-held wish.

"Hello?" When she answered, she felt an inexplicable sense of expectation and tension. It was all her mother's fault for giving her psychological hints.

Thus, Xia Sheng rummaged through boxes and chests to find a nail clipper, and ultimately had to send someone outside to ask Long Ye's subordinates to buy one from the outside.

Dongfang Rui said earnestly to Ye Feng, knowing that only this kind of compensation could bring him peace of mind.

By the time they entered the door, the medicinal fragrance had already dissipated through the room. Kong Rurang lay on the alcove bed in the western inner room, with Hu Tai standing solemnly to one side.

This was Luohua's first time hearing someone directly involved in the Dharma-ending Age describe that era, and she never expected that the acquisition of Dan cores was the result of a conspiracy.

He Zishan's back ached severely. He gritted his teeth, uttered not a single sound, and gently embraced the young woman's shoulders, looking into her dazed, unfocused eyes.

The Azure Mountain Vulture rose, flapping its massive wings and executing various profound techniques, before finally charging through the torrential flow of primal Qi onto a dais on the seventh tier, its sharp talons digging deeply into the ground to steady its stance.

"Attack together and finish off this old man. Only by attacking together will we have a chance!" The mutant shouted to all of them.

One had to know that a living space of one hundred square meters could never satisfy the survival needs of seven vagrants.

Having not seen each other for two years, although Wei Yan had not changed much, in her memory, he had already become somewhat blurry.

Although Qin Li, the First Elder, and Qin Tian might be typical examples of cliché villains who sought revenge for the smallest grievances, Chuolan still felt that things were not that simple. The waters of the Qin family seemed far deeper than he had imagined.

Yet after running three or four hundred meters, human figures unexpectedly appeared swaying ahead. Judging simply by their movements and their utter disregard for the beating rain, it was clear these fellows were deeply suspicious.

The guests arriving today were all distinguished personages, including nobility from the palace. The master of the house had given strict personal instructions: no one without an invitation or reputation was permitted to enter, lest ill-intentioned individuals sneak in and cause danger.
