Volume 1, Chapter 41: We're in Big Trouble

"The driver will be here shortly, I'm going to change my clothes," Ji Feili said with a smile, putting his phone in his pocket.

Never had he seen such a person, abandoning the comfort of the honorable Xiao family and desperately struggling to go outside. Did she truly believe the outside world was vast and full of wonderful prospects?

Your parents? The parents who drove you out of the Mu family with their own hands? The parents who handed you over to me as a casual plaything? Mu Xiaoxiao, are such people as these still worth your protection?

Feipeng smiled and told Wang Yunfeng to stop struggling, saying that struggling was useless and asking why he bothered. It felt as though not a shred of hope remained, yet my hatred for Feipeng was unprecedentedly intense. He was clever, but I was no fool! Why should I sit here and await my doom?

It had nothing to do with calculation; she simply felt that Mrs. Xu gave off a very comforting yet pitiful vibe. With Du Rouwen's temperament, she would never grow close to Mrs. Xu, but replaced by her, she could at least offer some comfort to her birth mother.

He clenched his fists tightly and glared at the ghost with burning eyes, wishing he could destroy him right then and there. However, Sanmei saw through his intentions, sighed once more, tugged at the soul-locking chain, and led the ghost toward his own home.

"Well, naturally this princess will not simply watch the Ling estate fall into ruin. So be it, to prevent any rumors from spreading, this princess shall take it upon herself to have Ling Hanyan married off to Deputy General Zhang stationed at the frontier as a secondary wife," Ling Ruoxuan said indifferently.

"Very well, Lord Xuanyuan, why have you come again?" The judge glanced at Fang Mian, who had already walked inside, and then glared at Bian An with a gloomy expression.

However, since she had put it that way, I knew she certainly wouldn't give me any opportunity in the short term. Besides, I hadn't come here to develop a personal relationship with Sister Yun; I had far too many things to do.

A wave of wild joy finally burst forth within my heart, and I asked, "Wonderful, and where is Wang Li?" Zeng Hao replied, "Dead!" Although I had anticipated this possibility, hearing it with my own ears still came as a severe shock. I didn't blame Zeng Hao for being so ruthless, because a state where a person could no longer move or speak was the safest situation of all.

"They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. Your eyes tell me, what kind of nonsense are you imagining?!" Xingxi gave Xiao Yi a sideways glance, bypassed him entirely, and sprinted ahead.

At this moment, the guard disciple cried out in astonishment, clearly shaken by the sheer force of Nie Tian's aura.

Though he himself could no longer clearly track Sun Shengli's movements, he could vividly perceive the slash wounds inflicted upon the four figures in the sky.

Left with no other choice, she could only summon Gao Xiuxiu and Gao Bin to help her handle company affairs; Gao Bin possessed extensive connections in the business world and might just be able to unearth the underlying reasons.

With a series of tremors, a single drop of milky-white liquid finally oozed out from the jade-mouthed precious vase, dripping with pinpoint precision straight into Xiao Xiao's mouth and disappearing.

Liu Ying stared in dumbfounded silence at the slipper in her hand. Could Zhao Chuanyang truly be so hard-hearted and devoid of even a shred of sympathy for her?

Watching Yu Momo stare blankly at him, Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes, pressed his lips together, and lowered the surrounding temperature with his cold aura.

While the strategy meeting for the Battle of Ansi City was underway, hundreds of Goguryeo lords gathered in Gaesong, the capital of Goguryeo. Upon learning that the Eastern Han region was holding the Luoyang Conference, Goguryeo immediately convened the Gaesong Conference to discuss how to defeat the Tang army and the lords of the Eastern Han.

During the wars between the Han Empire and the Xiongnu, the chariot-fortress tactic was frequently employed. Coupled with the formidable power of Han crossbows, this often inflicted heavy casualties on the Xiongnu, who lacked heavy cavalry.

Had he known earlier that a single shout at that wolf demon would have scared the beast away, how could he have ended up so terrified?

Seeing this, Song Yiwei stepped forward and asked, "Is the senior the Divine Emperor Guo Yi of the Eastern Hall?" The man replied, "Consider yourself perceptive, this seat is indeed Guo Yi." Long Luo thought to himself, As expected, he really is a Divine Emperor. For this Abyss of Subduing Demons to attract a Divine Emperor—things were about to become dangerous. With a Demonic Divine Emperor present, his entire party would be in deep trouble.

Ordinary martial artists needed to unblock acupoints one by one, but for someone with internal energy as vast and profound as Yang Yunhan, it was exceptionally convenient—he could simply use his over eighty years of formidable internal energy to force open the sealed acupoints directly.

"Thinking you can just walk away like this? You must be dreaming! Attack together!" a Yin-Yang master roared. Instantly, alternating black and white energies filled the entire sky, accompanied by hordes of frantic dead-world spirits pouring forth into Li Jiang's field of vision.

At this moment, upon hearing Xiao Huo's mention, they instantly cast their gazes toward Xiao Yunfei.

"Understood, Patriarch." The Five Elements of the Xiao family were all clever people and naturally grasped Xiao Yunfei's intent in an instant.

Since yesterday morning, he had been agonizing over this matter. The mental effort he expended last night was far more exhausting than running such a long distance. That was the difference between physical labor and mental labor.

Watching Jia Feifei look back three times with every step as she walked through the school gates, Liu Xinghao finally stepped on the accelerator and slowly drove away.

Nan Gongyu Die had never seen her father look so dejected. Ever since that battle, her father had remained in seclusion. She knew her father had sustained injuries, and he was the pillar of the Dragon Sect. If this pillar were to fall, let alone resisting the Dragon Realm, even other factions might devour his Dragon Sect.

As Long Luo departed, watching his retreating figure, the Supreme of Fire Origin softly murmured, "Xue Yanshou, you still cannot let go of your lingering affection for him. I only hope that in this lifetime, you can rekindle your fate with him."

"Uncle Yu, do you think we should swim across to the opposite bank, or drift a bit further downstream?" Liu Xinghao lowered his head and took a large gulp of the river water. Having not a single drop to drink for the better part of the day, he was desperately thirsty. The river water was cool and refreshing, and a single gulp made one instantly yearn for more.
