Volume 1, Chapter 34: You Don't Know You Were Wrong

Watching Fang Liuyun’s attack go wide, Xu Que immediately manipulated his celestial manifestation, unleashing the Arhat Heaven-Turning Seal. Combined with the spirit fire of his martial meridian, an endless torrent of flaming fists surged forward. Boom, boom, boom! In an instant, Fang Liuyun was sent flying. His spirit-grade defensive artifact shattered upon impact, and he was hurled backward, his physical body suffering injuries.

"You only need to do as I say," Wu Jian said coldly. Upon hearing this, Wu Linglong lowered her head, biting her lip before responding.

Zhang Yang led his group straight toward the full-bet section; for him, this was the paradise with the highest cost-effectiveness!

However, the next second, her face turned bright red as the image of the two of them fooling around in the kitchen suddenly flashed vividly in her mind.

Almost the moment his voice fell, the dangerous situation from that day appeared clearly in Xia Wan’s mind once again.

In truth, the reason Xia Huanhuan knew this place was left behind by people from 2115 was because of the glass. Had it not been for this glass, she never would have suspected it. Xia Huanhuan looked down, then up at the stones above.

At this thought, it was as if a thousand-pound weight had been lifted from his chest; his mood grew light. Following this came a sense of curiosity about the diamond treasure chest.

"What the hell!" Zhou Qi was shocked! What could be more astonishing than watching one’s own heart ferociously devour the terrifying G-virus like a monster? Did it really have to be this intense?

Yu Zhilong knew this well enough. However, what the Jing'an Army needed most at this moment was the enthusiastic support of the local populace. These wealthy, powerful families were the very targets he intended to strike in stages; if he could win them over or sow discord among them, using them for his own ends was naturally the best outcome.

The deep night on the island began to turn cold, but no matter how cold it got, it could not extinguish the raging fire rampaging through Fu Hanjing’s body; instead, that inner fire burned ever brighter.

"Yes, a gentle and strong child," Mu Chenxiang’s words left Ji Qingyu slightly stunned. Gentle—yes, that was certainly true. Looking at Mu Chenxiang, he thought that if this was who the Grand Princess had chosen, he liked it too.

But Liu Xie could not care about such things now; he had firmly decided that she was his mother.

The time had definitely not run out, because Qi Tianpeng, holding the jade ruyi, could clearly feel the disappearance time of the three soul shadows and could maintain contact with them through a secret technique.

"But... you saw the situation in Snowflake Village... there isn't any extra black linen in the village to repurpose into cloaks..." Her voice sounded filled with shame.

The more Fang Yuan thought about it, the more he felt this was likely. His mood soured, shifting instantly from a clear, sunny sky to overcast clouds.

Liu Xie ordered everyone to retreat, surrounding the two corpse butterflies and the body of the deceased guard from a distance.

"Ouch!" She snuck a glance at Chu Zhixian. See? I told you I was naive back then; the moment someone hit the nail on the head, my face turned as red as a boiled shrimp.

Chen Qingqiu was completely bewildered. Other officers from the police station approached and led them toward the interrogation room.

By the afternoon, however, Su Jian was surprised to see a report on the news claiming that she was a murderer.

A feminine-looking man beside Hao Lin sized up Hao Yuan, a mocking smile tugging at the corner of his lips; he did not hold Hao Yuan in any regard.

"Emperors favor their eldest sons, while commoners dote on their youngest, but for a noble Marquis to act this way is just too much." The crowd seemed to see a male peacock strutting about everywhere.

Devastation. In the twenty-six provinces occupied by the Northerners, other regions were merely plundered for their wealth, so why was Daze specifically subjected to such destruction?

I suspect they haven't come out yet, otherwise we would be dead. Or perhaps they have, but the people of this tribe have a special way of dealing with them.
