Volume 1, Chapter 50: Messing with the Princess Rui, You've Truly Hit a Brick Wall

“So now, your ultimate goal is to seize the life that we ought to repay to your mother?” Su Wan, once an assassin herself, appeared unusually calm compared to the others. She gazed at Du Lingmeng and the other two, her eyes flickering with a quiet light.

“Come on, we’re still in a hurry to see your parents,” Cong Yi tugged at a stunned Jing Lei and walked away.

A hundred million years ago, Martians once visited Earth, but at that time Earth was still in the age of dinosaurs. The Martians captured many dinosaurs and transformed them into battle machines. Now, these dinosaurs have been released back onto Earth, launching a fierce assault on the present-day humans.

Unexpectedly, the troublesome young master refused to play in his own courtyard. Instead, he insisted on playing by the pond in the backyard, claiming there would be frogs there. As he spoke, he excitedly imitated the frogs’ croaking sounds.

Perhaps because he realized that every step An Ruoran took was influenced by Mo Lingran’s provocation, and that his actions toward An Ruoran were not truly his own will, that was why An Ruoran regarded Mo Lingran as her good friend.

“If we complete the mission today, let’s celebrate afterward. After all, everyone is in City N,” Qing Dai said.

I asked her, what if Zhao Lin tried to tempt me? The homeroom teacher glared at me and said temptation was unacceptable. “You’re a boy; you need to show some willpower.”

“Ah!” A stern voice rang from the sky — a cry of pain. Fuxi’s lightning seemed to have struck something.

Long Linfei’s heart ached; Gu Ling’er’s words pierced his core like silver needles, tinged with blood. Slowly, Long Linfei raised his arm, intending to help Gu Ling’er, who was bowing to him, but after hesitating for a long moment, it fell back powerless.

Li Nan straightforwardly placed his hand on her shoulder. The soft internal energy of the “Formless Divine Skill” invaded her internal organs.

He was in the early mortal realm, not much different from the two others — the saying “those involved are confused, while outsiders see clearly” was apt.

Indeed, Yao Fa’s kaleidoscope had long since reached its peak, surpassing the Eternal Kaleidoscope, only awaiting awakening into the Reincarnation Eye.

“Of course,” Ron nodded excitedly. He had expected a harsh reprimand but Hera did not do so.

This approach also helped them conceal things somewhat. After all, Li Chenghao’s current status was at most an internet celebrity; endorsing products invited suspicion. But after “The Life We Aspire To” aired, things would be different.

Though powerful and especially harmful to ghosts, casting spells while severely injured consumed vast amounts of vital energy.

In the realm of the gods, atop the world tree, a grand palace lay hidden among the clouds, faint yet imposing, radiating an aura that compelled all living beings to bow in reverence.

“It’s sufficient now. Lord City Master, you may pour it into this bowl and see for yourself,” Xue Yao said, placing a large bowl before Jiang Bei.

“Very well, I shall return to the castle first. The next class should be Lochart’s. I think it’s necessary to check in, just in case of any accidents,” Hera shook her head. Though Dumbledore had not requested it, as last year’s teaching assistant, he felt responsible for the students.

I was curious to hear how people spoke of me. Suddenly becoming a handsome man overnight was somewhat embarrassing.

Han Ning’s light-footedness was among the best in the capital, but before long, he was caught up with. Seeing Gu Xuanjin with Su Jin hiding in the shade, crouched low, his eyes narrowed, the stars seemed to shift. Before he could fully perceive their moves, he had already landed where the two were.

On the haystack, the man in military uniform, who appeared to be resting with closed eyes, twitched his lashes slightly. A cold gleam flashed through the narrow slit of his eyes.

Compared to his usual hand, his left felt somewhat clumsy, yet under the surge of power, its strength remained formidable.

Of course! Their skin was completely covered, perfectly shielding them from venom’s attack. Venom only worked upon contact with bare skin; splashing it on clothing alone was useless.

But it was already too late. Her shout only highlighted the target. Everyone looked toward Zhang Fei’s direction, then slowly turned their heads away, acting as if nothing had happened. Yet Zhang Fei saw that, except for the Tianshan Sect, members from the other three factions quietly left the Duobao Hall.

From within the jungle came the cawing of nearly a thousand crows, their massive bodies stretching three to four meters each. Their harsh, grating cries unsettled the human warriors’ spirits.

As Wu Mian’s spiritual power continuously increased, his life energy perception extended to a radius of two to three hundred meters. Now accustomed to concealing his strength, this had become his habit.

When his transformation completed, he had become a colossal black dragon. Four limbs planted firmly on the ground, his body exceeding eight meters in length. His fierce head bore two enormous red eyes, his entire body covered in black scales that inspired dread.

The bird cherished by the late Qi Emperor and regarded as a talisman by the harem could not have ended up inside someone else’s belly... she could not accept such a fate.

She was some distance from the balcony; an ordinary person would not hear those sounds. But she did not rely on ears but on spiritual power.

Yet none of them cared much. They only concerned themselves with their own safety because in Blood Moon Canyon, danger was ever-present. The great battle merely stirred a faint curiosity.

Grevas’s plan was exquisite. With a vow from the Dark Elf King, he could instantly gather a large group of loyal followers.

“Do you intend to kill him?” He Yuqin asked in surprise. Nobody knew Shen Junping’s feelings for Ye Chen better than she did. Hearing this, she was secretly shocked.

The mute servant said nothing but tied a long, thick hemp rope around her waist. The rope was already secured to a sturdy boxwood tree outside. He climbed up first, then pulled Mei Ziyan up after him.
