Volume 1, Chapter 29: Perhaps the Marquis of Pingyang Should Divorce Me

"It is all due to your incompetence. Every woman you bring home is worse than the last, like a blind person playing shuttlecock—utterly useless. The noble House of Pingyang is going to be ruined in your hands!" Su Hao slapped his son across the face.

The frustration he had suppressed all day erupted like a volcano.

Su Ziwen covered his face, not daring to talk back. He stared blankly at his father, his heart full of grievances he could not voice. What had he done wrong? His marriage to Yun Jinhua had been arranged by his parents and matchmakers; they were the ones who had chosen his wife, so why blame him now? As for Ling Xuan...

"Wah!" Ling Xuan covered her face and wept bitterly, crying out, "Father, I know you resent and hate me. But I have given my heart and soul to the Su family..."

Suddenly, a bone spur pierced through the air toward them. Liefeng hurried to dodge, and the spur grazed his insect armor before embedding itself into the ground with such force that the earth cracked.

The Earth-Walking Dragon clutched his severed finger, chanting incantations incessantly. After the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the severed finger suddenly flew out from Chu Hao’s nostrils. With a wave of his arm, the Earth-Walking Dragon reattached the finger, though his face remained deathly pale.

Lin Rui did not care about all that. He twisted the throttle, and his off-road motorcycle shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.

Xixi replied, "Yes, that explains why the communicator is normal but we cannot hear Helen’s response. Everyone, Xixi is very sorry for this."

Liu Yangxi walked into the room and shut the door, leaving Baili Lang looking sullen.

Bu Hui left after speaking, but I knew everyone cared about me and was always by my side; otherwise, they wouldn't have arrived in time to save me during that crisis the other night.

I explained the meaning of "Soul Puppet" to everyone again. Master Buliang thought the same as I did, suspecting this was a conspiracy orchestrated by the Soul Puppet.

"Do you know why I called for you?" Although Ling Shan had already clarified Lin Feng’s background and purpose—which were, of course, fabricated by Lin Feng—since Ling Da had spoken, Ling Shan naturally had to put on a show.

Master Buliang left after speaking. I actually knew he said that on purpose; his true intention in coming was just to see if I was all right.

The moment the words fell, the others who had been whispering immediately fell silent. This was, in fact, a very sharp question—one that leaders like Cao Cao and Zhou Yu were most concerned about but had been reluctant to bring up first.

Could it be... that because the Emperor’s Supreme Holy Body had inexplicably disintegrated, he lacked the strength to shield himself from the prying eyes of the powerful, and thus simply let things be?

Already driven to madness, Lin Jinghao struck with lethal intent, as if only killing Si Xia could resolve the hatred in his heart.

Taking goods from one's husband’s house back to one’s maiden family would earn a woman scorn in the Zhao State, but since the son-in-law was a terrestrial immortal, one naturally could not judge him by mortal standards.

The Yellow Turbans were rampant on the ancestral lands of the Yuan family, yet the Yuan family took no substantive action; their attitude was worth pondering.

But just as Li Yu and Meini'er reached the back garden of Black Blood City, the sound of an AKM gunshot rang out, and Meini'er was stunned on the spot.

Even though there was no physical contact, Lu Xueyan felt as if an invisible giant hand were touching her.

The name of the Sword God was thunderous; he had even defeated the Qitan State Preceptor who came to the Central Plains to challenge him. Whether in the martial arts world or the imperial court, everyone held him in high regard, and Xia Yongcheng did not dare to slight him either.

"So what? He may not have used much force, but my child is gone!" Su Yunxi’s eyes were blood-red as she protested with lingering resentment.

Shaking his head at Meini'er, Li Yu indicated that he was under immense pressure. Finding qualified soldiers within a month was no simple task.

But the next second, Liu Wuxi’s expression changed, as if the boy’s body were made of iron, making it impossible for the blade to pierce him.

The guards accounted for a large proportion of the 10th District; these losses in combat power were fatal to the Tyrant King.

In the end, they were still a few people short of the number 369, finding only scattered remains. Everyone knew in their hearts what the fate of these poor people had been.

After an investigation yielded no leads, the police withdrew, and Tang Ming returned to the dormitory in frustration.

"Brother Long beat up Meng Da from 'Heavenly Paradise' and trashed the place!" He Lilong said.

The motorcade carrying the Platinum members drove south to the 4th District, then turned back onto the highway leading to the 10th District.

Jia Hengsheng’s freezing demeanor caused the atmosphere in the living room to drop to zero, and the scene fell into an eerie silence.

I don't know how long Lin Yue spent talking to Tao Qi, but when the gates of Qionghua Palace opened, the second generation of Butterfly Valley emerged one after another, their expressions suggesting they had failed to reach a mutually satisfactory result.

"Yeah, I said it!" Ye Long nodded, though looking at Chen Lan’s expression, he wondered if she would ask him to help satisfy her physical needs later.

Qin Yang looked at the strand of black hair on his right index finger, shaking his head and sighing. If he could, he would really like to pull it out.

Movement came from the other side. A clear moon illuminated the world, and an ancient sacred chariot approached slowly. It was pulled by nine moon beasts, as if descending from the moon into the mortal realm.

The test results indicate that the test results indicate that the test results indicate that the test results indicate that the test results indicate that the test results indicate that the test results indicate.

After that comparison, Leng Yan’s master scolded him severely. Yet, while the Supreme Elder was proud of his disciple’s strong willpower, he was also angry that he had so little regard for his own body.

Liu Hongzhi felt a deep sense of sorrow. He and Liu Jingyuan had returned to Sanye Town safely last time, but this year, when they returned to their hometown on their own, they unexpectedly encountered horse bandits blocking the road.

Hearing Xia Yuan speak of these matters so seriously, Zhang Lu and Guo Dan both felt an inexplicable pressure.

"If you don't let go, I'll scream 'indecent assault'." Ever since Jiang Dongyu had comprehended the Essence of Great Cold, he had been wearing thin clothing. Being yanked by Liu Qingyan, he was suddenly quite exposed.

Immediately, a beam of light lit up around Mu Yichen, enveloping him. In an instant, Mu Yichen vanished from the spot.

But she also knew that with the Second Young Master’s current cultivation at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, going down the mountain for training and seeking a chance to break through to the Condensation stage was even more important for him. In fact, barring any accidents, he would certainly not end his training and return to the mountain until he had broken through to the Condensation stage.
