Volume 1, Chapter 39: Visiting Grandmother

Before long, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived. As they had agreed beforehand, Zhou Yu’an accompanied Xia Xiyin back to her maternal grandmother’s home for the holiday.

“Bao’er only suffered massive blood loss after the snake venom in her body was neutralized. Since this device isn’t meant to save her, it may not be safe for her to remain here. We should take her away first.” Yan Aonan felt that she had overlooked something, yet she also sensed that they should not linger. Thus, she reminded Chen Yaya.

Jia Xingxing and Xiao Le let out a pair of shrill screams, thinking they had seen a ghost. Jia Xingxing even slammed on the brakes in panic and brought the car to a halt. Neither of them dared to look back; they continued staring in terror at the rearview mirror.

She had been at Wu Zhong’s side for quite some time and knew that he was narrow-minded and vindictive, so she had decided to give Chen Yaya a warning in advance.

Although the weight of these things posed no problem for Qin Donghai, who practiced martial arts, the young woman before him handled them so casually, as though she were merely picking up an empty cardboard box. These days, even beautiful girls were this formidable. No wonder his elder brother and parents all opposed his making a career in the martial-arts world.

Yan Aonan’s smile remained as mild as ever, as though she were merely chatting about everyday matters. She had no idea that her appearance had already earned the praise of Feifei, the proud mixed-blood beauty known as the Fire Rose. Her tone made it seem as though she knew something about Feifei, but in truth, she was only probing.

“I’ll give you two days off, plus a ten-gold reward.” Ye Hua knew that forcing Huang Ming to go would not work, so he offered him an incentive.

He leapt down from the driver’s car and faced the dazzling, magnificent glow of the dark night. Only then did that strange sense of shame finally disappear.

The Octopus King’s tentacles were struck by the violent fireballs, and it immediately howled in agony. Enhanced by the Blade of Fate, the violent fireball spells dealt tremendous damage.

“Leng Xue, you may leave first. I have something to discuss with Father.” Tang Youyou spoke as she slowly walked toward the table. Her expression remained calm as her gaze swept over Xuanyuan Ying, and she did not sit down.

“You may all wait outside. Duoan’s assistance is all I need!” Everyone knew that Miao Yingying disliked being disturbed while practicing medicine, so the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were firmly kept outside.

“I see. I never imagined you would have such a wonderful idea. After so many years of war, countless people have suffered terribly. It is rare nowadays to see anyone with genuine faith; most simply blame Heaven and fate. I hope you succeed,” said Helian Mingcheng.

Then, ten steps farther ahead lay the cliff—the very place Mei’er intended to take him.

The young acting commander turned his head and saw flames rising all along the line of Shanhai Pass, illuminating the night sky. He extended a hand, and a finely crafted mechanical hummingbird flew from his sleeve. Riding the easterly wind beneath the night sky, it sped toward Shanhai Pass and vanished in an instant.

Whenever two or more people who possessed fragments of her soul died at the same time, those fragments would gather together.

Young Master Mo was pushing Su Jin forward. The white horse spotted Su Jin and immediately rushed over to her. It stood before her, snorting heavily, then knelt down in front of her.

The boundless wasteland stretched as far as the eye could see. The sky, however, was a deep blue, and the faint, fresh air drifting through the land was far cleaner than anything outside.

“I’ll go down with Ranran in a moment. You go down and greet the guests.” Tu Baobao broke free from Nangong Yuhan’s embrace. Her cheeks were flushed like peach blossoms in March, making her extraordinarily beautiful and captivating.

“How dare you!” Hao Cheng arrived with several dozen eighth- and ninth-level mages. The sky warriors had just fought a great battle and exhausted their battle aura; even if they had not, they would not have dared act rashly in the face of dozens of high-level mages.
