Volume 1, Chapter 42: Get a Doctor! Hurry!!!

Huo Sili withdrew his gaze, his tone indifferent. "It seems, then, that there is nothing."

Without waiting for Xie You'an to react, Huo Sili turned and walked away.

"Dragon..." Mebius had just begun to speak when the dust swirled and Zheng Hao’s golden-armored divine form emerged from behind the haze. "Is this your final struggle?" As he spoke, Zheng Hao’s left hand lashed out, sending a materialized true essence dragon hurtling toward Amaterasu.

Zhang Mi was unaware that Jiang Yu had learned the Crimson Flame Cloud Cloak by channeling the spiritual energy from his own body; had he known, his astonishment would surely have been even greater.

Nan Jinxuan and Chu Yao exchanged a look, both seeing a mix of amusement and exasperation in the other’s eyes.

This was a certainty. Nan Shengge appeared fragile, spoiled, and delicate; as long as she maintained the appearance of being doted upon by Duke Nan-Zhong in public, nothing else mattered.

The pressure was mounting again. Although I had originally aimed for first place, hearing that everyone in the sect had already achieved it made me feel exceptionally nervous.

The status of the Qi family in Mist City was, if anything, slightly higher than that of the City Lord’s Mansion, and their reputation even more so. To frame the Qi family, he had devised many elaborate plans.

It was as if one were unworthy of being called a "master" unless they behaved abnormally, insistently setting themselves apart from everyone else.

Xia Chan rose early that morning—or rather, the entire Xia family rose early. Without any prior agreement, they had all woken at the same time.

But now, everything was different. Having tasted the sweet candy of affection and desire, how could one possibly have the heart to chew on wax?

"Tianming, if you have things to attend to, do hurry along," Du Meng said with a sweet, understanding smile.

The Demon Emperor smiled faintly, a profound look flashing in his eyes. Without waiting for Xiang Yunsheng to ask, he transported him out to the outside world.

Xin Yue snuggled against the Fourteenth Prince, hesitant to answer the man's words. Bearing a daughter for the Fourteenth Prince was one thing, but bearing a son was quite another; the struggle between eldest sons and legitimate heirs had never been a simple matter.

Yet, who would have thought that her master simply kept her emotions hidden? The sorrow remained, and the reluctance to part only accumulated with each passing day. She kept all her feelings tucked away. Who could have known that the Eldest Prince would be so troublesome, or that even with him, she still could not hold the Fourteenth Prince's heart?

In that memory, not only were there glimpses of the scenery of the Republican era, but Ye Jin, as a bystander, also caught sight of a ghost.

Liang Jinshang fell into a long silence. What did Shang Ao’er understand? She only knew that the jade was incredibly expensive and that it was her father’s legacy.

During this time, Xia Fanxing had been constantly on the move, rushing about in search of a turning point to resolve the problem.

Luo Yonghui shot his son a glare, then hurriedly ordered his subordinates to transfer the funds. Guided by Luo Jian, they went to find Jiang Ning.

The Emperor’s heart gave a sudden jolt. His gaze, which had already turned away, could not help but fix once more on the east. The bank of colorful clouds was expanding rapidly, and a moment later, a black speck appeared in his field of vision.

"Did it succeed?" Chu Ze, Yue Rou, and the others were somewhat confused. They had naturally seen the green sprout, but they did not understand what it signified. How great could the vitality of a single green sprout be? Was this all that the old man had left behind?

On one side lay the Central Great Plain, where the constantly pursued Dorn people dwelled; it represented death. On the other side lay the Vane Plain beyond the suspension bridge, which represented life.

"I didn't expect you to start wearing bandages too. Wrapped so tightly, I imagine you'll be stinking even worse before long." Lie Die giggled to herself as she spoke.
