Volume 1, Chapter 34: Swindling Another Fifty Thousand Taels

"Heh, we'll see when the time comes!" Yun Mengzhong waved his hand with a gentle smile. Although he was old now, he still had to scheme and calculate for the sake of a single word of approval from the head of the Ji family. However, what brought him great relief was that both of his sons were sensible.

It was not just to hide his identity; as the armored warship landed, the "Circle" he had extended outward sensed countless powerful auras—so powerful that he instinctively retracted his "Circle," fearing he might alert these super-experts.

One by one, the voices of mages rose, and the magical elements in the air began to gather toward them.

Zhang Chengping sighed silently. It had been a year since he left home. He had hoped that returning to the palace this time would bring him the warmth of maternal love, but Consort Shu had disappointed him once again. Sometimes, he and Wan'er even doubted whether Consort Shu was truly their biological mother, but such treasonous thoughts were impossible to voice, and could only be buried deep in their hearts.

"Why would it be happiness? For Xiao Yongye, or for the child?" Gu Cizhuang was deeply conflicted. The reason this young man refused to marry was mainly because he couldn't find a reason why marriage would bring him happiness.

Yuan Huan was both shocked and furious, yet how could he dare to charge through the sword shadows? In a moment of hesitation, the two clans of elves had already moved far away. The four men from the Divine Realm on the field were certain that the Tree of Life was with Rerise, so they were not in a hurry, and instead ordered Yuan Huan to lead his men to guard the perimeter.

The court officials finally began to understand. Could it be that the Emperor was planning to burn the bridge after crossing the river, intending to toss Xiao Yongye—the bridge—into the water? This court had always been a place where the Emperor probed his ministers and ministers pondered the Emperor. With this thought in mind, someone immediately stepped forward to lodge a tearful accusation.

Hu Youming recognized the old man; he was Xiao Tiecheng, the former Deputy Director of the Northern Province Health Department and Xiao Shou’s grandfather.

On the appointed day, my grandfather found a tractor to haul the timber back, and that main beam was placed in the courtyard. After my grandmother gently wiped away the layer of ash with a rag, the wood appeared as bright as new, despite it having come from an old, dilapidated house.

The human race had not yet come into contact with the outside world and did not know what cultivation was. Suiren-shi had to rely on his own exploration, hoping to find a method of cultivation. After all, as a Great Golden Immortal, he could sense the existence of the Heavenly Dao and could naturally explore a few simple methods of cultivation.

Now that she had returned in triumph to the Snow Moon Divine Sect, she had originally assumed that the gap between her and Chen Xiao would be vast.

Leaving a trail in Ji City was something Chen Zheng did deliberately, intended to mislead the pursuers behind him and use the strength of the righteous path to wipe out the followers sent by Fei Wuji.

In a dangerous place like the God’s Burial Ground, you still deliberately hide your true strength. Are you trying to bring harm to the family?

Plump, rounded medicinal pills flew out of the furnace one after another, emitting a rich, exotic fragrance that was dazzling to behold.

"Changing tastes," Ling Duyuan said indifferently. "You go ahead and get busy." With that, he took Hu Mei'er and Qing Die and left. He did not want to say another word to Wang Guangxi.

"That's fine! Your body is very weak right now, and a little exercise won't hurt. Grandpa Ji is a Taiji master and now a Martial King expert. If you're lucky, he might even teach you a move or two, which would be very beneficial for your health!" After a moment of thought, Chu Wanjun nodded in agreement.

Because the Blood Demon Vine had already told him that a large number of martial artists were hiding more than six hundred meters away, and they seemed to be waiting for something.

Li Cheng hadn't been very interested in this cricket fighting competition to begin with; his appearance was really just to join in the fun and take Chen Yuefei out for a good time.

Xie Long, disguised as a driver, did not speak; he merely narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing through his pupils.

When she rode in his car last time, who knows who was howling like a banshee and making a fool of themselves? Now, she actually had the nerve to bite back?

***

At this moment, the chaotic battle around them had stopped! Who could say why they had suddenly ceased? Was it truly just because they were intimidated by the arrival of Tang Ling’s group?

With the departure of the years, several mortal sensations flooded my heart once again. This was because although I had absorbed the God-Attracting Star and became the Wind God, I was still, after all, a being of flesh and blood; just as people have seven emotions and six desires, so did I.

"What do you want? Just say it!" His emotions stabilized at this moment, and Xu Tian let out a long breath and asked in a low voice.

"Could it be Lingbo?" Thinking of this, I hurriedly put on my boots, lifted the beaded curtain, and rushed out.

"In those days, when I was carrying you, I felt you had a connection with the rain. Who would have thought that today..." Mother Yun was about to continue.

After hearing the referee's explanation, the opponent still didn't want to admit defeat, but seeing the teacher's stern expression, he eventually glared at Chen Wei and returned to the resting area, deeply unwilling.

Chu Yuan spared no effort, channeling all the remaining combat strength of his spleen into the large bellows of the forging furnace.

"Yin-Yang Xuan, you had best not stir up trouble! If you dare to harbor any improper thoughts, I will strip the skin from your flesh and tear you to pieces!" the Hundred-Herb Earth Dragon warned earnestly.
