Chapter 59: Laurel Blossoms

Inside the Embracing Moon Pavilion, Yue Wuhen crossed his palms and channeled his inner qi. The originally exquisite and beautiful folding fan instantly split into several blade-like segments, rotating around him while glowing with faint halos. Lately, his meridians had suffered damage, making it unwise to practice cultivation, yet placing all his hope on that young girl felt profoundly unsettling. At this moment, all traces of a smile were absent from Yue Wuhen’s face.

Ling Yurou was taken aback, never expecting Nangong Moyun to harbor such intense anger. The hand she had just extended pulled back, and as she looked toward Nangong Moyun, she saw him set down his teacup and walk over. With his palm facing downward, he swept it lightly across the forehead of Fairy Xuanjing, revealing a golden imprint. Ling Yurou was struck with sheer astonishment.

The Martial Emperor regained his composure, his gaze falling upon Lin Qingfan as a trace of anxiety surfaced on his face.

Naturally, the British fleet immediately gave chase while promptly notifying the British Home Fleet of the situation.

Yuchi You had no idea what Zhong Qing was up to and remained frozen in place, holding his ground. With a thud, Zhong Qing tackled Yuchi You to the ground, drooling profusely, her hazy eyes seeming to suggest she might lose consciousness at any moment.

"If I am defeated, crush this item, and the Ancient Sage shall awaken!" Lie Ming handed a jade token to Lin Qingfan, offering this solemn instruction.

Along with Ding Changsheng, Liang Zaizong, Yang Lu, and five petitioners, they entered the petition office's conference room with no one else present. Yang Lu temporarily doubled as the recorder and server, handling the tasks of pouring water and taking notes.

"I wonder which sect the young master belongs to, and why you still dare not show your true face?" Du Weiqi countered.

"What did you say?" Shang Mengqi was already brimming with unvented anger, and hearing Qiu Jingchen mention that Qiu Shaoze liked it only fueled her fury further.

Bang! The sound of a sharp weapon piercing wood echoed into their ears, causing the two-person-husk-thick tree before them to tremble violently as fine leaves rained down like a storm.

Having roughly grasped what was happening, I let out a soft, long breath and walked over to join the others.

Expecting Zhong暮山 (Zhong Mushan) to display some displeasure, I was surprised to find him entirely calm, as though everything were unfolding precisely within his expectations.

As Zhao Kuo's voice faded, the surrounding environment shifted dramatically. The dense mountain forest transformed into a desolate battlefield.

"Junior Brother Ming, how did you notice the shadow?" Walking beside Fang Ruyu, Yi Hantang had been utterly oblivious to the sudden appearance of the shadow just moments ago.

With the sudden emergence of the white light, the aura within his body surged dramatically, unexpectedly breaking through to the early stage of Heart Refining. Wang Gao and Gao Feng, following closely behind, likewise unleashed their auras at the early stage of the Heart Refining realm.

A long while later, the ahead-lying Irako was pierced through the shoulder by identical sharp spikes and collapsed onto the ground in pain. Only then did Xiacheng clearly perceive what manner of creature had injured them both.

She had prepared three ropes according to my prior instructions. Only one of these climbing ropes was equipped with a safety harness, intended for the injured Ha'er, while the other two were meant for myself and Ghost, as the three of us would be hanging head-first down the cliff face.

Seven posts spun around the folding screen, revealing a name upon it—the name of one who had perished in the desolate wasteland.

With a gentle wrap around Ding Jiuxi’s waist, two white figures materialized out of thin air into the night sky. Fortunately, no one was likely to be wandering about at this hour; otherwise, the neighboring townsfolk would have been scared out of their wits, and perhaps from the next day onward, romantic or chilling tales would have begun circulating about this place.

Tears welled in the corners of Mo Linghuan’s eyes, and the bruising at the corner of her lips gradually began to seep blood, dripping onto her new garments. The vibrant, crimson red contrasted against her snow-white skin, making her appear intensely bewitching, yet the faint, hooked smile at the corner of her lips felt bone-chilling and terrifying.

Hu Ye had already established absolute authority among the soldiers, who executed his commands without a second thought. Hu Ye set the effective range at roughly three kilometers and launched a nuclear fusion grenade toward the fire-bugs.

"Zhou Danfeng and I are in an online relationship!" She disliked airing her inner thoughts, but I preferred to lay everything out in the open anyway; it was hardly a secret.

Presently, the truck was drawing very close to the village, drawing the attention of villagers working in the fields. Dropping their tools, the crowd fled in a panic toward the village.

The hallway was utterly hushed, the dim lights resembling clusters of cold, eerie ghosts. Even knowing they hung quite still upon the wall, Lin晓曦 (Lin Xiaoxi) still felt as though they were shifting and swaying.

When Li Yuanhao heard her mention the Black Eagle, an inexplicable and nameless fury flared within him. He yanked her toward him. She struggled in resistance, but paying her efforts no heed, he forcibly violated her. Staring fixedly at the ceiling above, unable to see a thing in the dark, her heart shattered into countless fragments.

What Ding Jiuxi had not anticipated was that Qiu Yi had only just stepped outside before returning shortly thereafter to deliver a message on behalf of Ding Jiuxi. Oddly enough, did they actually possess any offensive tools in their hands? Then, she watched helplessly as she was mercilessly grazed by a horde of vicious dogs.

"Your Excellency is truly thorough; everything shall be as you decide, My Lord." Coral did not ponder further; at that moment, her mind remained entirely consumed by Ji Meng's injuries.

Di Qing nodded in a daze, staring somewhat mesmerized at Hu Sanyuan. Di Qing dispatched someone to report the matter to Emperor Renzong of Song, who, upon hearing the account, ordered that Hu Sanyuan and Di Qing be brought before the grand hall.

Agatha offered no response whatsoever to Ron, muttering unintelligibly to herself instead, much like a solitary monologue.

There was no need to dwell on it excessively; the matter itself carried a slightly suspicious aura. Two student council department heads making private recommendations could single-handedly decide a vice-head position? And not even through an election, but by direct appointment? No matter how one looked at it, it seemed rather unconventional. Still... as long as she herself was satisfied, it mattered little.

Late at night, upon the lawn outside the Tang family villa, Panda and I lay prone, stretching our bodies out flat like colossal human-shaped kites.

Roar! The lightning dragon appeared somewhat agitated; it had naturally birthed spiritual intelligence and held a trace of apprehension toward the purple lightning. From its eyes, Yang Tian detected a clear gleam of terror.

"Respected guest, please follow me." Raoul’s cane swept horizontally, pointing toward the western direction, while his deeply creased face revealed no discernible expression of emotion or displeasure.

"Since you still remember, I shall send you on your way first!" Yang Tian shouted in a deep voice. His Life Samsara Eyes suddenly trembled violently, and with a booming crack that shook the heavens and earth, the daoist chants reverberated through the void, rattling the cosmos.

While having Zhan Ming pack the supplies, Long Tian suddenly recalled Jing Peng. Jing Peng was meant to have a share of the gear Zhan Ming was carrying. Shaking his head slightly, Long Tian berated himself for being so careless. There was no time to deliver the equipment to Jing Peng now, so he would simply have to wait and give it to him at the first available opportunity.
