Chapter 40: Song Jiajia is Asking for Trouble Again

After dinner, Sang Yu returned to her room. She was at a loss as to how to face Jiang Jingming. Jiang Jingming had likely anticipated such a reaction, but he had no regrets. He walked to her door and knocked. From inside, Sang Yu’s voice drifted out: "What is it?"

"I came to tell you to be careful when you bathe tonight."

"We... we must find another way." Even if she were willing to sacrifice herself, she could not guarantee they would make it out of the ancient path.

"By the way, Master of the Stronghold, have you managed to grasp some of the power of time from this ring?" Zhang Fan asked, puzzled.

Lost in her thoughts, the tall and handsome figure of Lu Yucheng loomed over her, filling Yin Liusu’s mind and vision completely.

"Congratulations, Master! Your internal energy has reached the Divine Emperor stage!" the monkey demon Wukong said with a laugh.

Without witnessing the power of the Sovereign of Silence firsthand, without seeing the power of destruction with one’s own eyes, one could never understand how terrifying the Sovereign of Silence was, nor believe how uniquely blessed he was.

However, before she could struggle, Yin Lin, as if having anticipated her reaction, grabbed her wrists and pinned them above her head.

A note attached to the dagger caught Hua Yueman’s attention. She stepped forward, pulled the dagger out, and unfolded the square-folded paper. It was a message of sorrow and helplessness.

"Don't you dare hurt my master!" Just then, Qi Haoyuan flew over on a paper crane. He looked anxious, completely disregarding the danger. Before the Peacock Sovereign, Qi Haoyuan was nothing more than an ant; if even the True Person Hengtong could not shake the Peacock Sovereign in the slightest, he certainly stood no chance.

Beside them, Keiko Hojo watched the "mummy" in stunned silence. She truly had not expected her brother Zedao’s tongue to be so sharp, showing no mercy when mocking others.

After driving for over ten minutes, we ran into a traffic jam caused by an accident. Uncle Hu called the traffic police directly to clear a path, and our cars roared through with impressive arrogance.

They could feel it: the sword was forged through creation, a magnificent sword intent condensed into substance. This was a supreme master of the sword, abandoning the true essence of his own path to manifest the most terrifying strike.

He had once been a Dou Emperor, but he was also a man—a man who had never even been on a date.

After closing the stall for the evening, Auntie Zhou tidied up the other room for Jiang Suyuan so she could stay there for the time being.

He had heard rumors of treasure and come to investigate, never expecting to encounter such a horrific creature; he had nearly lost his life in this place.

With economic development, private cars had become a common means of daily transportation, making parking in downtown Nanzhou increasingly difficult.

The toddler Shangguan Nami, clutching a large baby bottle, sat on the soft carpet, her face pale with rage as she glared at a member of the Snake Tribe kneeling timidly before her.

Lin Jinan had always claimed the child was abroad, but his investigators had found nothing after several attempts. The only photograph they had managed to capture didn't even feel familiar to him.

As it turned out, Mu Xiu explained to everyone that the house in the provincial capital was scheduled for demolition. The owner needed to be present to decide how to handle the situation—whether to keep the property or take the payout.

"That’s enough. Go and release the person who was captured with him. Escort him respectfully to the gates of the prison. Do you understand?" Ye Yuhan was, of course, referring to Jiang Nan.

After all, Shen Wan’er had been her classmate, her manager, and her business partner.

Zhang Yuanyi was almost amused. He walked over, sat on the sofa, and began to fiddle with the tea set alongside Hei Tianyou.

"Calm down. There is no proof right now; how can you say she did it?" Xu Jinyang said, believing she was being too impulsive.

"Once we save your father, shall we leave the Gu Master clan together?" Lin Xi asked Ming Yu, her expression earnest.
