Selecting a Husband (Part Four)

(Page 1 of 3)

The sound of synchronized marching feet rang out. The original garrison of White Stone Square and the soldiers who had appeared from who knew where assembled in an instant. Their spears thrust skyward in unison, then swept downward. The sharp sound of steel cleaving the air reverberated throughout the square. Their imposing and solemn bearing was in no way inferior to that of the Eight Virtues King's retainers.

Song Yun could only clutch a wooden plank with both hands and ride the surging waves as they rolled across the water.

“His Highness’s poem says that the Roc is an invincible existence. Is that truly so?” Ye Tianhao asked loudly.

However, he now understood that he could not break through the newly stabilized Four Symbols Guiding Formation again in so short a time.

Once the helicopter had flown away, Song Yun finally let out a long breath of relief, then dropped heavily onto the ground.

“Ruyi, Ruyi, wouldn’t you say this Bearded Hero is truly remarkable? His martial arts are so formidable, and he has such a chivalrous heart. Don’t you think…” Taking advantage of the lull, Zhu Yunwen eagerly began giving his impressions of what he had just heard.

Yet elite troops required equipment. Weapons, armor, and warhorses were all extremely troublesome to obtain. With the help of the Xiao siblings, however, these problems were naturally solved with ease. After all, the aristocracy had many enormously wealthy merchants; so long as one had the money, there was nothing they could not procure.

The immortal from the demon race’s blessed land not only named his price but also offered the Purple-Winged Immortal a solemn word of advice.

Seeing this, everyone watching sprang into action, reinforcing the spatial formations arranged around them lest the area be blasted flat in a tremendous explosion, throwing the entire Divine Fire Cult into chaos.

The highest realm in this world was Upper Clarity, and the might displayed by the battle before them was something neither man had ever witnessed in his life. If they allowed fear to arise in their hearts and turned to flee, they might miss an extraordinary opportunity. Worse still, regret could become etched into their state of mind and later turn into a hidden obstacle on their path to advancement.

When Coach Liu Canyue saw that most of the Dream Team’s players had agreed to sacrifice Captain Gangplank, she knew there was no point in saying anything more. She closed her mouth and fell silent.

Zhou Zekai had at least once been a celebrity, so he naturally understood the unfamiliar gaze of ordinary people—the curiosity and scrutiny with which most people looked at a star.

On the other side, Hua Yanyue and Zheng Kunyuan had more or less reached an agreement. The specific details still had to be reported to their elders, but the wishes of the two principals themselves were also of great importance.

The instant Xie Zhuo finished speaking, a sinister smile appeared on Crown Prince Ji Gui’s face. He raised a hand, and in the next moment archers hidden in the shadows emerged from every direction. Along with them came the imperial guards and personal soldiers surging forward from behind like a rising tide.

They feared that after Master Ye had examined all the materials to be refined, he might say that the task was impossible. If that happened, everyone’s hopes would be almost entirely extinguished.

That tragic sight made the cultivators who intended to strike the bell even more cautious. They had to weigh the matter repeatedly before deciding whether to enter the bell.

After hearing Huangfu Huang’s words, Kong Renyi agreed. “That makes sense! That ‘Rat’ is fond of ambushing people. If it isn’t lying in wait for us inside the base, then it must be planning to ambush our base!”

Hua was equally bewildered, but the two of them looked around in every direction and still could not determine who had intervened to save them.

After taking a sip of wine, Yang Yuting had a bright red drop of liquor clinging to her crimson lips, making her even more alluring.

“Let’s go.” Su Luo patted the Profound Spirit Tree on the head, then returned it to her spatial domain before instantly teleporting away.

Liu Gu gradually lowered himself onto the edge of Su Ling’er’s bed and stiffly stroked her shoulder. Su Ling’er immediately began sobbing even harder. She lifted her head, threw her arms around Liu Gu’s shoulders, and wept uncontrollably.

This was the territory of the Qian clan, so he naturally felt emboldened by their power and wanted to bully Qin Xiao.

Ren Bi steadied himself, then stepped forward and said to King Dang of Qin, “Let me go first, Your Majesty.” With that, he gave a loud shout, grasped the legs of the bronze cauldron, and prepared to lift it.

Miao Yi threw away the last torch and hurried down. Supporting Mi Shu into the carriage, he fled the western outskirts palace in panic.

“Old Station Master, the truck’s loaded.” Although the purchasing station was no longer as bustling as it had been on his previous visit, a Dongfeng flatbed truck with a trailer was still waiting to haul mountain produce into the city.

How could the Carefree Demon Venerable have known that Yun Chen had actually reached the stage of Great Perfection in Divine Refinement long ago? It was only because of the seal within his body that he could display merely the cultivation of the late Divine Refinement stage. Yun Chen’s primordial spirit, however, had already attained great completion—the realm in which divine essence converged into the sea of spirit.

As a mother, if she herself had eaten her fill while the children at home went hungry, how could she possibly bear it? Thus, when the auntie had asked that question at the beginning, what she really meant was that she wanted to save the food and take it home to her children.

“Little Sister Yu’er, I know you’re grieving, but this is no place to stay. Come with us, all right?” Ran Qingluo held out a hand to her. Her voice had already grown so faint that it was scarcely audible. Yu’er seemed not to hear her at all, continuing to stare blankly in the direction where Han Lun had disappeared.

He had gone to the bank to deal with the problem of his card being swallowed, only to be inexplicably suspected of being a robber. It took a great deal of effort before he was finally able to settle the matter.

Tian Li wiped away the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. Though his body was utterly drained, a flicker of excitement still passed through his eyes.
