Volume 1, Chapter 64: The Premier Sword-Dao Family

Jie Yun certainly could not pull that off; she would undoubtedly be reluctant to refuse him behind closed doors. On the surface, however, she could hardly be blamed for putting the male protagonist through the wringer.

After saying this, Winnie felt a pang of regret in her heart. In truth, the moment she saw Fu Zhi appear in Brazil, she had guessed his motives. Yet, driven by a momentary flash of sympathy and unwilling to leave his long-held hatred without a final resting place, she had chosen not to stop him.

Yuan Zimo furrowed his brow. Hua Hua had just left, and Nanke had arrived right after—and by the looks of it, he had been here for quite some time. Could it be?

Unexpectedly, Tang Sanzang thrust out both hands, pushing the two disciples apart to his left and right, and then lashed out with a flying kick straight at Sha Wujing’s forehead.

Liu Shixi blurted out her reply. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already put things so plainly, she had no desire to find herself on the receiving end of Yu Qianying’s sword once again.

A burst of hearty laughter rang out. Li Hua turned her head to look and saw Zheng Zichou with his right arm draped over another man's shoulder. "So, the main responsibility lies with you!" he called out, waving his left hand at Li Hua.

A wave of irritation washed over Li Hua. Ordinarily, Yuan Zimo went nowhere except the company and the shop; where on earth could he have gone? She raised her eyes to look at the ceiling. She had never been to his office—might he be there? Or had he gone home?

Fu Hanyu emerged from the kitchen, and upon hearing Sang Wan'an's remark, he too began to suspect that the dish genuinely resembled a bowl of excrement, robbing him of his appetite.

Upon hearing this, Liu Shixi finally loosened her grip. A piercing shriek followed immediately as blood soaked through the garments, and Shixi disgustedly kicked him aside.

"Very well. Go ahead, but whatever happens, don't be too anxious. Take your time." Madam Gu harbored no suspicions, especially since Gu Chi's demeanor remained completely at ease.

I intended to mount a natural defense in due course, but with Qi Cai's assistance, the Demonic Blade was pushed back step by step. In less than a moment, its defenses had been thoroughly breached.

A sharp claw lunged toward her, generating a fierce gust of wind—Huangfu Jinghua was clearly exerting his absolute full strength.

As long as one avoided violating those taboos, it was truly possible to create something from nothing and turn stone into gold. Such a heaven-defying celestial technique could completely become his most formidable trump card at present.

A pair of large eyes blinked repeatedly, looking utterly playful and adorable. The "someone" she referred to was, naturally, the crown prince who had just attempted to outrage her modesty.

Being rudely awakened from sleep is one of the most irritating things in the world. As history shows, Cao Cao once executed people simply for being disturbed from his slumber.

"Crack!" Chen Shengcai was already in the heat of his anger. Without a second thought upon hearing those words, he hurled the stool in his hand forward.

Upon hearing those few terms, Fatty Sun's eyes instantly lost their luster, while Liu Mang, standing nearby, secretly shook his head, lamenting that with everything swirling in his mind, he could only ever remember matters of this sort.

The innkeeper stood frozen, watching Li晋's retreating figure with a complex mix of emotions. Although the exiled people treated them like pigs and dogs, and they had always dreamed of the day they could drive the exiles away, now that the day had truly arrived, an irrepressible terror gripped his heart.

"I suspect their objective is to expose Qiqi to Old Master Ye, and then use a borrowed knife to kill her," Hawkins said as he walked over, picking up the thread of the conversation.

With that, he dropped to one knee, placed a hand over Xiao Shaohua's left hand, pressed his finger against the center of his palm to unfold his fingers, and reached out with his other hand to slowly slide a ring onto Xiao Shaohua's ring finger.

I had known long ago that the soldiers carried firearms, which meant I could not act rashly. I had to sneak in quietly and then seize the opportunity to steal that piece of jade while they were off guard.

Watching Liu Ye depart, Cai Yong instructed everyone to return to their respective duties. He then arranged for the three hundred elite soldiers left behind by Liu Ye to enter the Cai residence.

"Wei Zhongdao, you have threatened me repeatedly. For the safety of my family and friends, I had no choice but to kill you to eliminate future trouble. Furthermore, the reason I remained at the city gates waiting for your arrival was in the hope of seizing this opportunity to make a clean break with your Wei family once and for all."

Cold sweat trickled down Luo Xuan's temple. He truly could not fathom that having survived cultivators, he was now about to be slain by an ordinary person.

However, as he climbed onto the bed, the hem of his pajamas parted slightly, revealing his underwear to Zhuo Hang.

That night, Lin Xi ultimately did not stay. Upon receiving a summons from Elder Bai, she departed for the Bai residence right after the Empress Dowager returned to the inner palace.

On the street, figures were few and far between. Although the capital was a city that never slept, that did not apply to every corner. It was now a little past nine in the evening, and since the local vegetable market closed at eight, virtually no one had passed by since half-past eight.

The Ghost Princess had spotted us. Right now, it was fixing its gaze intently upon me with those eyes brimming with resentment—eyes consisting entirely of whites, leaving one to wonder how it even perceived its surroundings. In any case, we had been exposed, and we had to take action before it made its move.

"Feiyan!" Yuan Zhen said with deep emotion, pulling the fair maiden back into his arms once more to shower her with unrestrained affection.

Zhao Zhen actually disliked this approach of using barbarians to control barbarians. Likely due to his status as an emperor, he preferred absolute control; under the umbrella of absolute control, policies could be appropriately relaxed, but the foundation of it all had to remain firmly in the hands of the Song Dynasty.

Thousands of warhorses kicked up thunderous hoofbeats, pounding across the wilderness trails until the very earth seemed to tremble.

Just as he was about to speak, Lin Tianyuan and Xiao Guizhong both stepped forward and said in unison: "After consulting with the other ministers, we have no objections and unanimously agree to the peace marriage. We await Your Majesty's sagely decision." With that, they dropped to their knees.

The two demon kings stared blankly at the scene, clearly caught entirely off guard. Although the young demon king was not old, his battle achievements and strength placed him among the upper echelons of the demon race.

High up in the boundless void, dressed in violet and radiating an incomparably enchanting and captivating allure, Xuanyuan Shiyin stamped her foot in vexation.

Gregory VII was currently fixated on abducting Henry IV, but in truth, he had no idea that John's actions were entirely at the behest of Zhao Zhen.

Amidst the billowing fog, thirty avatars soared into the sky, launching a frenzied, cyclical volley of attacks upon the ground.

As for Young Master Xuan's experiences upon entering the sect, how he managed to escape from it, and where he even acquired this lawless and mindless technique, not a single trace of these memories existed within his mind.
