Volume 1, Chapter 49: She is a Succubus Who Takes Lives!

(1/3)
"Your esteemed daughter is not poisoned. Much like the Madame, her pulse is truly peculiar..." Master Song wore a troubled expression. "This old man's skills are lacking. I must ask Your Honor to find another master of medicine."

Meng Lan paused, his hollow gaze drifting away from Master Song's face and hovering blankly in mid-air.

He truly could not understand why calamities had been befalling the Meng residence so frequently as of late.

Was there some villain secretly plotting in the shadows, or perhaps...

Meng Lan cast his gaze toward Meng Tingfeng, who lay upon the bed.

It was not just Yuhong who had harbored doubts; even he had suspected that the frail young woman lying on the bed was the culprit behind the poisoning of Madam Qiao. After all, that cup of tea had been handed to Madam Qiao by Meng Tingfeng's own hands. Yet Meng Tingfeng's words—"Why would I risk throwing..."

They were dumbfounded. Not only the onlookers were dumbfounded, but even the tense and defensive City of Divine Brilliance was dumbfounded as well. Originally, they had been quite composed when facing the City of Yan and Huang, but now they began to feel anxious and terrified.

Within his heart, there was only a single conviction: never surrender. Even though he possessed no power to resist, even though every single time he felt like an ant crushed beneath an elephant's foot, Yang Tian constantly told himself in his heart—never, ever give up the fight against the power of bewitchment.

Now, even his most formidable move had been caught by the other party as if it were mere child's play?

In an instant, the iron chains exploded, azure light shot in all directions, and an enchanting purple lotus devoured the figures of the three men, releasing an icy aura.

Holy power, more terrifying and profound than the dark night, surged like unceasing black flames, transforming him into a terrifying silhouette of darkness.

Special Note 1: During battle, the host's realm will fluctuate within the range of two major realms above and below their own cultivation level, becoming strong when encountering the strong, and unyielding when encountering the weak.

"Alright, let's see what kind of mission you would like to take." The masked person seemed to feel that pointing this much out to Yang Tian was sufficient, and was unwilling to engage in further conversation with him.

As a result, the information transmitted back by the system left Yang Tian somewhat astonished, making him almost doubt whether his brain had malfunctioned.

Demonic arts灌顶 (infusion of power), although some soul beasts could not endure it and died suddenly, those were a minority—individual cases. The majority had already succeeded.

When rumors of the Black Death spreading began to circulate among the common folk, everyone panicked. The Black Death was known as an incurable disease, utterly untreatable in the Empire of Boston at that time. This highly contagious illness was exceedingly difficult to recover from once contracted.

Every time Binchen saw her, he was apathetic, not even sparing her a proactive glance. Binchen had never liked her; how could she possibly help Ice Snow?

For several consecutive days, the two of them sometimes galloped on horseback; sometimes lingered in bustling markets; sometimes frolicked in the mountains and fields. One had to admit that, leaving aside the past wounds, they really were well-matched. Being with him, Chen Yue truly felt the taste of being loved and cherished, her heart melting gradually like spring snow into a pool of vernal water.

The old man reached out a raven-like claw toward Qin Bin, asking for money, while his other hand reached into his bosom as if to retrieve something. Qin Bin was completely bewildered by him—could it be that he actually intended to sell him some kind of medicine?

"The vanguard is all that has arrived so far; our numbers are still too small. We need to wait for the subsequent troops and equipment to arrive before we can take action. Besides, my operations department needs to draft a campaign plan, and all of this takes time." Xu Xiangnan decided to stall for a few days and request instructions from the joint command headquarters back in the country.

"If you have the ability, take it back by force!" These soldiers also offered a warning before walking away, paying little attention to the place! After all, who would dare to cause trouble here?

Alice had no alternative whatsoever and could only follow Charles's words, slowly extending her hands behind her back. A wave of immense sorrow suddenly welled up in her heart; having just been disfigured, she now had to endure being raped. She felt utterly desperate. With the other party pressing a gun against her, no one could save her.

"This?" The expression of the preacher also turned somewhat unsightly. Could it be that someone had sensed this in advance?

The moment the Emperor and the Eastern Prince walked in, she had already known. Yet she was currently a man, the owner of a brothel, and had no need to act overly familiar with them.

Once he left this world, this would be the only way for him to perceive the situation within the Shinobi world; no other form of communication could possibly cross the barriers of worlds.

As long as she still loved him, he had hope of making Young Master Duanmu release him, and perhaps, he still had hope of winning back Zhou Yi's heart.

Although this letter looked as though some content was missing, judging from the layout, there truly were no traces of modification.

Qin Zhen was not surprised that the proprietor knew her and Meng Jingxuan's identities. However, the man was full of smiles, yet beneath that smile lay an unfathomable darkness, which instead left her harboring suspicions about him.

However, seeing her expressionless facade, Ye Nanshan realized she was truly angry. If she were glaring and puffing out her cheeks in anger as she usually did, Ye Nanshan wouldn't be worried. Ordinarily, Wutong's anger during those times was entirely feigned.

Seeing this, Su Chu's eyes lit up. This was clearly a move of immense power, a trump card kept at the bottom of the box, and also a once-in-a-lifetime, prime opportunity for him.

It finally gave Empress Wang a rest. But the atmosphere within the grand hall had already plunged into awkwardness, with only Empress Wang persistently continuing her awkward weeping.

"I really wonder what kind of troubles someone as powerful as Nian Nian would have..." Meng Meng frowned and sighed.

Just as she stepped across the threshold of the courtyard gate, she ran straight into Zijin. Zijin wore a look of shock and suspicion, sniffing at some scent in the air.

This time it was only three days, not a very long time. She had thought she might miss her birthday; with two days still remaining until her birthday, it seemed she could awaken her three souls and seven魄 (essences) before her birthday arrived.

Previously, when Shen Chu and Lu Yuan got married, Lu Chunyan had also seen what Shen Chu's home looked like. Now, seeing Han Xiuzhu's home looking just the same, she had no desire to stay here any longer.

"You're back?" At a moment when her own emotions were extremely complex, seeing Lu Yuan made Shen Chu's heart settle down quite a bit.

The aircraft carrier of their career had only just set sail. Yan Chu granted everyone a three-day holiday to rest well, after which they would return to continue striving and fighting hard—the future belonged to them.

With a single blade stroke that cleaved away one of the Wood Spirit's arms, Ye Xin'er also suffered a backlash and vomited a mouthful of blood. The veil covering her face drifted away accordingly, revealing a peerless countenance.

As long as the majority of people believed that she had pushed Qin Xinran down, she would never be able to clear her name of the involvement, even if Yan Shi, the sole eyewitness, came forward to explain everything. It wouldn't change a thing; instead, it would only subject her to loose and scandalous gossip.

After all, having followed Wen Su for so long, his originally ordinary butler, having dealt with ghosts and spirits so many times, possessed a sensitivity to ghosts and spirits far surpassing that of ordinary Taoist priests.

Now that Ye Tian was helping Luo Changan examine his illness, Li Jiujiu naturally behaved obediently and walked aside so as not to disturb them.

"Liang Linyi, what are you doing?!" Nie Xiaoxiao frowned, nervously tugging at Liang Linyi's sleeve. "I just felt that this necklace matched you very well, so I wanted to win it back at auction and give it to you." Liang Linyi's eyes naturally carried a captivating charm, and every word he uttered revealed his warm affection for her.

He was a scion of a noble family with a mysterious identity yet powerful background, who had fallen in effect with Lin Bingqian of the Rongwei Group.
