Volume 1, Chapter 46: Rouge Infused with Blood

Upon entering Consort Mei's palace, she saw that the hall was brightly lit, with Consort Mei seated high on the upper seat. She was dressed in gorgeous imperial attire, adorned with pearls and emeralds, wearing an exquisite makeup look.

During the nocturnal travels, many mechanism-craftsmen came to the academy to make repairs. For the Yin-Yang clan to enter the academy without arousing suspicion, their only option was to disguise themselves as artisans of the mechanism school.

More importantly, the reputation Chai Jin had accumulated over the years had also become a halo cast over Mount Liang, attracting many people to pledge their allegiance.

Why did they dare to bully the police so unscrupulously? Aside from certain reasons, it was largely because these people would co-opt one faction here and another faction there.

Though he spoke in this manner, he accepted the gifts handed over by Wang Can without the slightest hesitation. He even stole a peek into the bag, and upon seeing that it contained fish, meat, candies, and two cans of malted milk extract, he could no longer suppress the smile curving up the corners of his mouth.

Zhang Xiangyun could sense that the Nangong Sui before her eyes was completely different from the Nangong Sui she saw on ordinary days.

When the two of them arrived outside the door one after the other, Feng Li glanced around and finally fixed his gaze on his door.

This news was certainly good news for Aaron. Even if Satter did not come in person, he would most likely instruct that newly arrived Gold-path transcendent to look after him.

The two princes gathered from the west and the east respectively in front of Prince Ji's mansion on Yuan Peak. At this moment, a few crows had landed in front of the mansion, seemingly mocking the four imperial princes there.

The coroner was also entirely unfamiliar with this kind of drug, so Wu Xuanyi stopped dwelling on the cause of their death. It would be one thing if these people were merely commoners or merchants, but the fact that they died specifically from taking this drug indicated that their deaths were premeditated; otherwise, they would not have ingested these poisons beforehand.

Similar words had echoed by their ears countless times, and a habitual numbness made them feel as though this city had simply changed rulers yet again.

"Are you nervous?" Taking advantage of the camera switch, Song Hye-kyo asked with a smile to Kim Min-seok opposite her, while letting the makeup artist touch up her face.

"If we're going on an adventure, count me in." Beside them, Ji Fengyi wore a stern expression. Having been out on many trials, he had yet to visit the immortal cave of an alchemy cultivator.

"You cannot put it quite like that. At the very least... such a powerful being has already appeared by my side! One of the truly supreme powerhouses of the human race has appeared!" The skeleton suddenly turned back, casting a glance at the youngest child who was silently gazing at him from afar, and couldn't help smiling knowingly.

With a heart of crystal clarity and untarnished brilliance, he guided the primordial liquid to follow the trajectories of the Sacred Sword Art and the Crimson Cloud Scripture, smoothly entering the sea of consciousness, and refined them into the purest royal power during the process.

Jin Yuemeng had just finished her bath. Stark naked at the moment, she was using a towel to dry the droplets of water on her hair.

Subei sat cross-legged with the five centers facing the heavens, his hands forming the unique cultivation mudra of the Sacred Sword Art. In his mind, however, he circulated the spiritual power pathways of three Heaven-grade cultivation techniques—the Sacred Sword Art, the Crimson Cloud Scripture, and the Creation Art—allowing the spiritual energy within his body to pulse across ten thousand miles in a single breath, circulating endlessly in a perpetual, unceasing cycle.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the skeleton's own strength was still sealed and had not yet recovered. The reason he could display such a dominant posture at present was entirely attributed to his numerous magical treasures.

From Leng Renjie's introduction, Tang Sheng had already gained a general understanding of the Dao of cultivation, fearing that the trials might be mixed with formations, blending illusions and reality. Passing the examination would likely not be easy.

By this point, how could Ku not understand that this must be some secret method devised by someone in the Xuan Sect to kill the "Child of Destiny"?

You might as well say that the Malaysian government discovered clues and thus issued a strong protest to the shipping company. To shift the blame, the Polaris hurriedly asked Luo Yunfeng and the others to leave.
