Volume 1, Chapter 33: Shall I Serve You?

I had wanted to be more direct from the start, but I was afraid of scaring her away. Since she was now asking me to be more straightforward, I would simply do so.

A strange thought suddenly occurred to her: why did the way she and the young master got along feel so much like the way a married couple interacted?

Her voice was soft and gentle as well, utterly unlike Nangong Xue’s usual bold and boisterous manner. Yet those dark, lively eyes—where else could one find a second pair like them, besides Nangong Xue’s?

He also wanted to test Kaisa during the match, so he rotated two key players—the two captains. It was the first time Kaisa had worn the captain’s armband. The team was currently at a low ebb. If Kaisa could not withstand the pressure, he would have every reason to spend several more years tempering him.

But the black hound paid no attention. It merely took one slow step forward, and that single step sent the Fifth Son of Taihao sprawling to the ground.

Wu Yingxiong began to laugh. Baturu had no idea what he was laughing at, but he understood that the laughter was probably praise for his eloquence. So he followed with a few foolish chuckles of his own.

He wanted to follow, but when he turned around, he discovered that the impostor who resembled Damao had vanished without a trace.

“I don’t know. But according to witnesses, Lang Ruhong, the Hong Kong reporter, has still disappeared without a trace. He has probably become fertilizer by now,” said Yu Tianxing.

The Mastiff King, Venerable Ziyun, Dongfang Baye, and Ning Zhiyuan all let out quiet sighs, as though mourning and lamenting the passing of an old friend.

“What kind of witchcraft could be so powerful? According to you, if Nanming possessed something like that, how could the Great Qing ever have entered the Pass?”

How had her attempt to rescue her brother become entangled with witchcraft? Sizhen was so horrified that she could hardly speak. After a long while, she finally asked, her tone clearly disdainful.

Cheng Jiaxuan never lost her temper. Even when she occasionally felt wronged, she forced herself to swallow it and continued silently shouldering her self-appointed duty of making soup. She even insisted on going to the kitchen to help. She was of little use in the Martial Alliance to begin with, so no one could find a reason to stop her.

When they saw the four-headed chimera, their first thought was whether Chen Hongyu had made a mistake. What Jiang Feng and the others needed was a magical beast capable of forming a contract with a member of the summoner group.

Yu Baofeng was extremely displeased at that moment, but in the face of Yao Jianguo, he could not find anything to say.

Just then, the sound of people falling with repeated thuds came from the doorway. The other colleagues were evidently losing their hearts as well.

The Dowager Dou still held great power in her hands. Even Emperor Qi could do nothing about the strength of her foundations and could only treat this stern grandmother with the utmost respect.

Sweat immediately poured down Zheng Daqian’s forehead like rain, streaming down in torrents.

The white jade orchid looked small, but he could feel that the source of his power seemed to come from it.

Zhong Ren was just about to rush over and stop them when Yi Feng placed a hand on his shoulder and gently shook his head.

Madam Yue was delighted. The man had returned safely, and even his leg ailment had been cured. Was this not a blessing from the ancestors of the Yue family? She hurried to the ancestral hall, lit several sticks of incense, and offered thanks to her forebears.

She raised her longsword toward the heavens, and several terrifying bolts of lightning came crashing down, striking the seventh-rank demons who were battling Wang Ming and the other two.

At that moment, Mu Rongxian’er’s expression finally changed slightly, becoming even more reverent.

“I was merely curious. You knew your grandmother suspected Bai Ruoyi, so why did you go near her?” Chen Rui was straightforward enough to say whatever was on his mind.

Some stocks remained strong after resuming trading and continued climbing. The listed company’s vague announcement seemed to have become a catalyst for the rise.

In the previous cycles, Alufa had died in a traffic accident each time. At that point, the cryogenic pod containing Agui’s body was already en route. Agui thus became a “relic,” and was naturally sent to Pelansadan’s address—right to Pelansadan himself.

“I’m not tired. As long as you’re here, I’ll never feel tired!” He spoke with such solemn sincerity that Su Mo swore it warmed her heart more than any sweet words he had ever said.

But he was only giving orders. Xinyang had selected the vegetables, the uncle had rubbed the minced meat into shape, and Su Yi had kneaded the dough.

There was no doubt that Su Yi’s methods would be extremely ruthless. And once Su Mo found out, she would certainly turn against him.

With a sharp pop, a cloud of blood mist burst forth. The Divine Calculator had bitten through the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of vital blood. The mist twisted in the air, and the bronze mirror suddenly generated a powerful suction force, absorbing every last trace of it.

“Let’s finish this round before you leave.”

Bai Lei, who had deliberately kept him in suspense, gave a sly chuckle and threw himself back into the battle before him. He did not notice at all that, at the entrance to the editorial office, a bespectacled middle-aged man in his forties was striding toward them like a police dog on patrol.

“Brother Luan, is that Elder Yao really only at the mid-stage of the Demon King realm?”

Black True Lord wore a strange expression and hesitantly broke the deathly silence.

The fruit of the earth bean was very firm, but its seed was exceedingly fragile. Because he had misjudged the force, he crushed another seed between his fingers.

The Bamboo Spirits paid no attention to Randeng and the others. They flew straight down from the clouds, lifted Supreme Treasure, the Macaque King, and the Six-Eared Macaque, and sent a stream of true energy into them.

I should leave—but where should I go? To the ancient Buddhist realm that had abandoned me, or to Flying Cloud Cave on Mount Jialong of the Expounding Sect, which I myself had abandoned?

Will wore an indifferent expression, as though everything before him had nothing to do with him. He coldly watched the Behemoth warriors who had already advanced to within several hundred meters.

Yuan Hong gave a faint sneer. This was better. It seemed he had always overestimated the power of the Sages. The Queen Mother of the West had been right: even Sages were not invincible.

The common people had not forgotten Li Song’s kindness. Thus, on every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, they climbed Mount Hua to burn incense and pay respects at the shrine of the Human Holy Father and Holy Mother, which Zhao Kuangyin had built for Li Song and the others.

“Zhengce, you must help me this time. I’ll thank you properly later.”

Hu Tian opened with words of thanks, making Zhao Zhengce feel somewhat uncomfortable. Over the past few years, Hu Tian had remained in almost constant contact with him while serving in the army. Because they were familiar with each other, Hu Tian rarely bothered with empty formalities.

“Who cares? He must be here to eat. Yuanyuan, I’m going to attract customers!”

The girl named Ling clapped her hands, hopped down the steps, and hurried off to flag down a car. Yuanyuan, meanwhile, assumed the posture of someone ready to lift the curtain for a customer, a professional smile appearing on her face.

Every part of the giant beast’s seven-meter-tall true form was filled with power, including its enormous mouth.

That very night, Ximei and Xiren separately visited You Hun and Fei Zhong, promising them high office and lavish rewards. The two agreed to help eliminate Empress Jiang. Everything gradually returned to the course of history: Jiang Huan’s attempt to assassinate King Zhou failed, and he was captured. He revealed that the mastermind was Empress Jiang.
