Volume 1, Chapter 40: One Trouble After Another

The bowstring began to rasp harshly. Snowflakes drifted down from the eaves, while Wang Ning’s even more grating lyrics pierced the ash-gray sky and wound their way beyond the walls.

The players from Team DK worried that their heroes might advance too far and be taken out by Plane and the others, so they chose to retreat and temporarily abandoned the pursuit of Plane.

At that moment, Elder Meng and Madam Rose arrived as well. Seeing Bai Kun appear so suddenly, they both frowned. They had been keeping watch all around, yet Bai Kun seemed to have materialized from thin air; they had not sensed the slightest trace of his presence. It was utterly uncanny.

Tang Ye had originally been pretending to be unconscious, but the sensations in his body told him that after Iron Fist had carried him for some distance, he had been placed on a soft and comfortable bed. He guessed they had reached the trading market outside the forest; otherwise, there would have been no houses or beds. Since that was the case, he simply decided to sleep and let himself truly pass out.

The next moment, Jun Yemin felt a chill at his throat. When he got a clear look at the person before him, a coldness shot from the soles of his feet straight to the crown of his head.

After hearing the host Wang Cong’s analysis, everyone erupted in astonishment. The commotion spread in all directions, yet they soon found themselves impressed by Wang Cong’s ability to analyze the situation.

“That’s right. This armor is called the Radiant Dragon! It cannot be pierced by blades or spears, nor harmed by water or fire! Any attack below the Earth Immortal realm is completely incapable of breaking through its defenses!” Sun Shangxiang nodded.

The common people found this method of delivery extremely novel. Of course, everyone also felt that it was wonderfully convenient. After all, having something delivered straight to your doorstep meant you no longer had to run errands yourself. Who wouldn’t appreciate such convenience?

Dugu Wuji spoke slowly, one word at a time. The moment he finished, a deafening roar rang out.

“Teacher Yu, if you do this, how could I ever live with myself? I’ll feel guilty for the rest of my life,” Li Zhiyuan said.

A single Great Realm Fruit was worth roughly a million, but Zang Aihao’s car had cost several million. And yet the bastard wore an expression as though he had gotten a bargain?

Moreover, the ax he held was taller than a man—enough to scare the courage out of anyone.

That was why, before deciding whether to agree, Ye Zhusheng felt it was necessary to ask for clarification first.

This was Peachwood Grove, so naturally there was wood everywhere. Ye Tian could not bear to damage such beautiful scenery too severely, but Fen’er had previously used her divine powers to clear a vast area, and countless peachwood logs had been piled beside it.

Over the next several days, that mysterious eye never appeared again, as though its earlier intervention had merely been a passing whim.

Ning Feng returned to reality in an instant and suddenly threw back his head with a roar. Two beams of light burst from his eyes, one red and the other blue.

Forget it. The young master is a dragon among demons, with powers that reach the heavens. By nature he is cautious; once he enters that place, he will surely lay down layer upon layer of deadly formations behind him. These people would only be throwing their lives away by following him.

As for having her true nature discovered in the future, that was no great concern. First impressions came first, after all, and she was far too practiced at manipulating them.

The moment Ning Feng finished speaking, Jin Lixi’s medical examination report appeared on the large screen behind him. According to the report, Jin Lixi’s body was indeed perfectly healthy. The only abnormality was low blood sugar.

“What kind of pose is that? Why does it look so damn much like the White Snake? And that hand gesture—did Zheyan study at the Mercy Navigation Convent? It’s far too effeminate!” This was the first time Ye Tian had seen Zheyan make a move, and he could not help grumbling inwardly.

Chujiu fell silent once more. It was easy to say such things, but in an age like this, how could ordinary people possibly possess dignity? Only a madman like the one before him would dare defy the entire world and act in such a manner.

Liu Youdao murmured to himself, but his hands and feet were icy cold. Even Sun Jingting, who was holding his hand, sensed that something was wrong. When she raised her head to look at him, she saw that his face had gone deathly white.

Along the shores of Juyan Lake stood a wall formed by rows of soldiers. Whenever a monster fish appeared, bullets poured down in a torrent, making it difficult for the creatures to approach.

This year’s New Year holiday season had nothing to do with them. At last, they no longer had to rush about, scrambling desperately to promote their films. Judging by the maneuverings of the major domestic film companies, another fierce struggle between dragons and tigers was clearly underway; by January, the publicity campaigns had already entered an intensely competitive phase.

The caravan consisted of only a dozen or so people, but every one of them wore an excellent saber at his waist. Some even carried crossbows discarded by the military.

In other words, although Xuanyuan had become the Human Emperor, his true authority extended only over the human race of Southern Jambudvipa that he had unified and the human race of Central Continent unified by Chiyou. Like the human races in the east and west, the people of the north did not revere the Human Emperor as their supreme authority. Instead, they honored Shen Gui.

“Remember to dry it thoroughly for me. Winter is nothing like summer; having wet hair is horribly uncomfortable.” Liu Qing yawned. A gentle curve across her chest happened to brush against the handle of the pot of noodles simmering on the gas stove, making Zhao Xiang’s heart jolt as he feared something might happen the next second.

It went on like this from eight in the morning until ten at night. The curator and deputy curator nearly suffocated from holding it in. Once they had calmed down, they were tormented by an unbearable curiosity to see those few objects.

Ye Xuan was utterly helpless. The old bastard even belched of alcohol while making phone calls; it was easy to imagine what he was doing at that very moment.

Song Kaiyue was the sort of person who coaxed those who refused to leave and chased away those who lingered. He immediately lost his nerve and followed Luo An away.
