Volume 1, Chapter 35: I Shall Stand as Witness

Given Moore’s understanding of Frida, it was unlikely that she had come all the way to the Far West Fortress merely to negotiate terms with him, let alone stay for three whole days.

Jingyu’s black-and-red feathers were now glowing with a crimson radiance. Clearly, he was genuinely mortified.

Fortunately, everyone in the Lin family knew their own abilities, as well as those of the Xiao family, so no one said anything unpleasant.

The disaster was spreading like wildfire, and there was no time to wait. Besides, the people of Great Sheng were descendants of Yan and Huang; they could not simply stand by and watch others die. It was only running—what was so difficult about that? Run after breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and it might even help with losing weight.

Then again, considering the circumstances, junior major generals were now everywhere within Xia. Many warlords and factions had quite a few officers who had been casually promoted to that rank.

A pound of wild boar meat was not much, but it had been obtained for free, and it represented the Xiao family’s goodwill toward them.

That said, Xu Feng now possessed the Supreme Bone and the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique, so his comprehension of various cultivation arts and martial skills was far greater than that of other cultivators.

Fu Chengyu did not understand what Lu Wei meant, but an inexplicable sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

Chen Feng was no longer merely shopping. In order to secure his supplies, he had gone so far as to acquire an entire shopping mall.

“Do not rush to thank me.” Niansheng raised a hand and gave Suodotu a perfunctory gesture of reassurance. “Tonight’s circumstances were sudden, so many things had to be handled simply. But tomorrow night…” Niansheng let his meaning hang in the air and had no intention of explaining further.

Liudan shook her head. She felt that she ought to put on a little more weight. With the new principal wife entering the household, she should step back for now. Judging by the master’s attitude, he was clearly very fond of his new wife.

“I did this because I truly like Lady Zhaojia, and because I feel sorry for Yinsan.” Consort De offered her explanation.

Yinjiu stared at Hongcheng in bewilderment. Neither he nor Dong’e Miaoyi was a taciturn person, so how had their son turned into such a man of few words? He had spoken at such length, and Hongcheng had replied with only those three words. Anyone who did not know better might have thought the boy belonged to the Fourth Prince’s household.

“Pan Chen passes the ball—Tsubasa Ozora!?” the commentator cried out. Tsubasa Ozora raised his left foot and brought down the ball Pan Chen had sent him. At that moment, there was not a single Musashi player beside him.

“I know you are clever, and capable as well. But once you leave, you will have to endure hardship to make a living, and I do not want to see you suffer,” Zhu Di said gently.

Yet I had already lost my way, drowning in the harbor he was painstakingly creating until I could no longer see myself. Was it true? Did he really intend to cleanse my past completely?

It was only that she could not help remembering those alluring phoenix-shaped eyes. Dong’e Miaoyi hastily suppressed the thought. She must not let her imagination run wild. Though her family background was worthy of a prince, everything still depended on the will of those above them. Her family already had a principal wife among them. She… had better stop indulging in foolish thoughts.

“Moreover, the Snow Wolf Demon Lord did not conceal the circumstances of the Northern Kuru Continent from us. Everything he said about it was true.” The Fifth Crown Prince, Ao Luan, spoke slowly as he looked at the White Rat and the Sixth Elder of the Sea Demon Clan.

That was why the three Azure Lion brothers and the several brothers of the Bull Demon King wanted to warn the Violet Tiger Demon Sage, to prevent the ancient demon behind the Southern Jambudvipa Continent Alliance from striking again.

“This disciple thanks Grandmaster for giving me the opportunity to obtain the Immortal Art of Seeking the Dao!” After hearing Fan Xian’s words, Song Zheng immediately responded with respectful gratitude.

Although the actual distance between them was extremely vast, the ripples would continue to spread after being released, growing weaker as they traveled. Yet the earlier they were sent out, the sooner they could interact, and the greater the eventual possibility of forming a shared resonance. The tear that formed in reality would also be closer to the Holy Lord’s Gate of Hell.

“Student Yu Chuxuan, just like that Jiang Yuxuan earlier, have you never once been called by name?” the elderly professor asked.

He had only reached the middle of his sentence when a familiar voice from somewhere below the stage suddenly interrupted him. A glimmer of hope instantly rose once more in Jincheng’s heart.

Xia Tian pondered for a moment. He had already offended the Xiao clan, but continuing the battle would serve no purpose. It would only bring disadvantages without any benefit.

He truly had not expected the other party to say something like that. He had thought the man was angry, which was why he had seemed so serious. He had never imagined the fellow would spring such a joke on him.

A metallic tremor rang out. Yang Fan’s Longquan sword, sharp enough to shave hair, could not even scratch the Iron Rooster.

“Ahem. Your brother-in-law is not an unreasonable man. Just this once—there will not be a next time,” Su Chen said with a cough.

“Call Chongqing Airport and have them prepare. Tell them to send a platoon of soldiers to accompany Shao Yunfeng. We cannot let him disgrace our air force! Also, tell Shao Yunfeng that our air force is his home!” Old Man Tang reclined on the sofa and spoke to Pete.

The moment Su Mుబai stepped into the tent, he felt a wave of heat rush toward him, carrying a heavy stench of sweat. When he saw the people inside, he was even more astonished.

At the mention of A Bin, the two fell silent. That roguish man who had taken advantage of her; that man of mysterious identity, who was destined never to have a future with her. And those faint feelings of affection, cut off so decisively, along with the slight disappointment and pain they had left behind.

No one moved. Clearly, none of them dared to believe Zhao Xiaozi’s words so easily. What if there was some trap waiting for them over there?

It was said that some fishermen had seen strange lights streaking across the night sky. Not only that, they had also heard the wailing of ghosts. According to those fishermen, the heart-rending cries were enough to bring tears to anyone who heard them.

“Master Taibai once wrote, ‘The Land of Shu is rich in immortal mountains; Emei stands unmatched in the distance.’ I would like to visit Mount Emei first.” After saying this, she gazed at him with a questioning look.

“Hmph, you still dare say that?” I struggled to turn around and pummel him. He merely whimpered and pleaded for me to pay him some attention. Truly, he was the devil sent to torment me.

After failing once again to determine the origins of this middle-aged male assassin, even a bodhisattva with the gentlest of tempers would have been driven to fury.

As they spoke, Shen Yuefu rose and apologized to us. “Your Majesty, forgive me. I made these candied dates myself. I had intended for Your Majesty and Elder Sister to taste them, but I never expected…” As she spoke, an awkward, helpless expression appeared on her face.

That day, Wind-Listening Pavilion was filled with bleak winds and bitter rain. Shen Yuefu clung tightly to Xuanbao and refused to let go. In the end, she clenched her teeth and fainted.

If every step Gu Youran had taken along the way had not been accompanied by just a little more luck, then by now she might already have become a puppet stripped of her own soul and completely controlled by them.

He stepped back and turned slightly. Above him, the young man leaned over the second-floor railing as though watching a musical performance. With half his body extended over the edge, he looked down at the tragic scene below, raised his brows, and gave a somewhat manic smile.

“He really is a demon…” Young Master Nether Emperor was nearly on the verge of collapse. The man before him was even more demonic than a demon, but Ding Zhan gave him no time to think.

“Well? Are you going to hand it over or not?” The Black Profound Leaving-Fire Sword in his hand had already begun to sway.
