Volume One, Chapter 48: Repaying Kindness with Betrayal

Zhou Shiyan sent a message to Su Yao on a whim, only to discover he had been blocked, and with that, his interest immediately faded.

Because Feng Xueyi looked so much like the "Young Master Shiyan," seeing Feng Xueyi eased the longing in his heart.

If it weren’t for the giant python transformed into a black snake, and the chance healing of his madness, perhaps even today he would have remained trapped in delirium until death.

She only wished for the Yunzhang Emperor to be injured; if the emperor truly died on Cangqiong Mountain, that would ignite a tremendous grudge. The Yunding Kingdom would surely dispatch their entire force to raze Cangqiong Mountain to the ground.

Upon hearing this, Nalan Xin smiled faintly. The man before her, always dressed in white, was truly cunning—comparable to a fox, even more sly than one.

In the rose room of the Jinhua Hotel in the provincial capital, Zhang Wanru and her cousin Wang Xueyan embraced joyfully upon meeting.

In a flash, Xie Zheng’s mind was flooded with countless thoughts, nearly rushing out to find Gu Xinghui, but a sudden spark of insight pinned her to the spot.

This was understandable; whether the story was true or not, it brought a glimmer of hope to Li Kuhai, who had been diligently cultivating the symbol path.

Thus, on his way home, Jiang Chang’an successfully closed several deals on woodworking and pottery, yielding substantial profits.

With her lips tightly pressed, Yu Sheng couldn’t help but reconsider the reasons why Gu Zhongren had chosen her to marry Gu Jingchen.

“You’re still a forest farm owner? Damn it, I’ve never seen a boss who can’t even afford fertilizer!” Li Haolong said gruffly.

Relying solely on willpower to endure, he was like a rootless tree, water without source—every moment it seemed Chu Yiyun might faint or even die, yet somehow he persevered. It made one wonder how he managed to hold on.

Yuan Niang helped Lan Mei to one of the chairs set out under the tree by the village women. Though sheltered by the tree, sitting there in the cold winter soon chilled her to the bone.

Wang Peng’s face turned cold. This man always opposed him, and his closeness with Chen Fei was incomprehensible to those nearby. Wang Peng had watched Chen Fei grow step by step, their relationship part mentor, part friend—a bond Wang Peng could never forget.

“The Indestructible Golden Body Technique is specially designed for warriors with metal attributes. The first stage involves boiling water tempering; if one’s will is firm enough to pass, they may attempt the second stage, forging the golden body with hellfire.”

Chu Yiyun pondered silently and then asked, “Which layer of the world are we in now?” Though Roli hadn’t explicitly said, it was clear. From the battlefield just now, the rebellion was underway and had reached unknown layers of the world.

Zhao Jun immediately understood the implication in Li Haolong’s words—that the police knew his identity and were investigating him. For the safety of his brothers, he urged everyone to stay low and avoid rash moves. The gang leaders and members were told to lay low until the storm passed.

“So, the temple and the Black Bear Mercenary Group are actually enemies, right?” Bai Mao spoke up at this moment.

Though Lin Feng saw no need for this, since Mei Wuhua’s reinforcements hadn’t arrived, they had no choice but to stall.

“Exactly, this guy spends all day in the courtyard learning strategies and conspiracies from those old fellows—perfect material for a military advisor,” Zhao Shiyin immediately revealed Yang Zilong’s background.

“Why the hell are you talking so much? The fight’s not over yet!” The Fox shouted fiercely, his demonic eyes locking onto the leader of the Black Charm Squad, while a silent aura of energy spread around them.

East of the academy stood a massive domed building, over a hundred meters wide at the front and twenty meters high, divided into three floors.

Heavens! They hadn’t eaten meat for years! These were the prime blood warriors! Even in normal times, talk of meat would stir their cravings, yet years without flesh?

“Hui Lang, do you have any ideas?” Huang Shao asked with a smile, addressing the man who had just shaken his head in disapproval.

The blind Pu Yintang overheard their conversation and eagerly hobbled over, leaning on his cane.

“What did you just say? You can tell his eyes are amber?” Wei Yan inadvertently received information that astonished her once more.

This news fell upon Pu Yuzi like a catastrophe, forcing him to step back helplessly, his face blank and lost.

Because my uncle hopes you will surpass me in the future and bear the great Han battle banner alone.

The next moment, the wolf beast attacking her was repelled by the power radiating from her hand, crashing violently to the ground and stirring a cloud of dust. It thrashed a few times before falling lifeless.

Gu Qingcheng had originally planned to keep Jiang Se out of her affairs, but now it seemed impossible. Since she had come, it was likely she wasn’t merely here to see her. Her professional instincts forbade such a basic mistake.

Since Father said this was an opportunity, he must have arranged everything. This time, she must not disappoint him.

Passing through this layer to the fifth, she was dumbfounded—before her stretched a vast, white mist, and she clearly heard the sound of water bubbling, as if a giant pot of boiling water was steaming ahead.

In the earliest days in America, she would instinctively call out his name upon waking, before fully realizing he was gone. She had no idea whose side he was on now or what he was doing. Today, no one answered her call, but she knew he was at their home and had most likely already left.
