Volume 1, Chapter 22: Song Hui and Jiang Ruozhen

It was just like a dragon soul, only the dragon soul is transparent and invisible to the naked eye, whereas the ones appearing before us were quite different.

"Master, what is Senior Brother's status? Does he work for the Emperor?" Zhong Qing asked, blinking her innocent, wide eyes.

As we drew closer, we found there was no path forward, only a broken cliff edge. Looking down, scorching flames churned below. Chu Lengfeng tossed a pebble in, but it had turned to ash before it even reached the bottom of the chasm.

I gave a bitter smile and nodded, quickly saying, "I'm leaving, I'm leaving! Senior Feng, let us meet again another time..." Without waiting for an answer, I immediately spread my bone wings and took flight, fearing that if the fellow grew annoyed, he might give me a sound thrashing.

Zhong Qing's figure swayed. Sensing her unease, the colorful butterfly suddenly flapped its wings and flew toward the boundless night sky.

Outside the door, Yan Zhongqi shuddered upon hearing Qiu Shaoze's words. He thought he had hidden himself well enough, so how could he have been discovered?

This was a word the Star Palace had never uttered—at least, never in their star domain. Min Ling watched the blood-soaked figure of Lei Li in the distance, utterly astonished, a look of despair appearing in her eyes. She let Mirror Abyss pull her away as they flickered out of sight.

Along the way, many ferocious beasts were disturbed by the saber-toothed tiger’s mad dash. They swarmed out of the woods, roaring as they chased behind. From a few at the start, the number grew to dozens, a dense mass that made Qu Xiangfan’s scalp tingle.

After checking into the hotel, she first entered the Spirit Realm to wash up, changed her clothes, and then headed out.

Ma Gongcheng, having finally regained his composure, wiped the blood from his nose. Though his expression appeared calm, his eyes betrayed a shock that could not be concealed.

Of course, it was impossible for Old Hu to be paired with Lady Shi; even if he could accept it, his fans and hers would never agree to such a pairing.

"Everyone, line up according to your enrollment sequence!" a man shouted from the platform in front of the plaza.

Under the twitching gazes of Beowulf and the others, the five warriors actually lay back down, falling into a deep slumber a few seconds later.

Maoxiu Hall is the western side palace of Huiming Palace, and it is also Yue Wangshu's current residence. The three-bay room follows the same specifications as the Changle Hall of Anle Palace, though to set the mood, a massive screen depicting the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove stands in the center, and the various furnishings are quite elegant.

The statue was exquisite, vividly capturing Sirus Gal’s calm demeanor while he was "alive," just as he had been when he stood outside the iron bars, confident and dazzling, promising the three sisters before they entered the arena.

Ye Chen sat up and shook his head with a bitter smile. That beast had nearly been the end of him; his victory was largely due to luck. He popped a Profound-grade medicinal pill into his mouth.

Pushing the door open, my gaze swept past Judhart-Filia and landed on the other man, just as I had expected.

What else could I do? If people found out that two handsome men had returned to school early to celebrate their birthdays together, there’s no telling what kind of filthy thoughts they might have.

The Ghost General was laughing heartily! Even though the sound of the smoke shadow was terrifying, he paid no attention. By the time he noticed, it was too late; the opponent's hand seemed to have already seized Shemu.

One must ask, since the fame of the Gamma Empire has spread ten thousand miles, how could Zhao Yi’s reputation not have preceded him? After all, Zhao Yi is someone who stands above the Gamma Empire—he could even be called the soul of the Gamma Empire.

Because everyone had a psychological price point in mind before the auction, you might have cut the bid by two hundred thousand, but since everyone else did the same, the price floor naturally rose by two hundred thousand. In the end, not a single penny was saved.

Han Fei grinned and said, "Director Sang, I hope you can strengthen your subordinates' training. Look at them, they look like nothing—all weak-legged and frail, worse than opium addicts." The police officers from Yanjing hadn't done much work, yet they were all panting, tongues lolling out like hounds that had run five kilometers.

After the elven man grabbed the boulder and lifted it about half a foot off the ground, his face turned crimson, sweat dripping from his forehead and eyebrows. Even the earth beneath his feet sank slightly, but the boulder would not budge an inch higher.

The person seemed to chuckle and let go. My body dropped gently to the ground; although I didn't fall, the slap naturally didn't land on anyone.

*Hiss!* The iron needle emitted a series of hissing sounds. The part of the needle inserted into the substance had completely vanished, as if a piece of rock candy had been dipped into water and dissolved.

"Sorry, brother. I was burning with rage and lost my head—I forgot how you treated my family."

I craned my neck to look, only to see four fierce ghosts leap into the water, followed by Dada and his true form, which also submerged. Before long, they were gone without a trace.

Li Er’s face turned deathly pale. He sighed, "I will use my divine sense to talk to Primordial first. Let us out; the three of us have a better chance of survival if we join forces." Saying this, Li Er closed his eyes and projected his divine sense, preparing to communicate with Primordial’s.

"I wonder what this gentleman needs?" After the triad boss reached Li Xin, the latter remained silent, and Guan Lian looked at the man and asked.

"Enough, you don't need to say anything more. Tell me, what do they look like?" Li Xin interrupted him.

I busied myself following behind her, watching as she sat at the computer desk and skillfully turned on the machine.

Originally, the Luo River Array could not be detected by divine sense, but Hu Ao’s divine sense was different; it had long since surpassed the ordinary. The entire Luo River Array, which even the God-King Hongjun could not see through, now appeared with absolute clarity in Hu Ao’s mind.

The two men had barely said a word before Li Xin interrupted them, talking about all sorts of nonsense. In truth, even he didn't know what he was saying, but he was just messing with them—he’d say whatever came to mind.

He used quite a bit of force, causing Ji Rou to open her eyes in pain. In the mirror, she saw the helpless look in the man’s eyes behind her.

He said this while stepping aside. Jiang Guangguang knew very well that he would have to eat this meal whether he liked it or not. He had no idea what the man was plotting.
