Volume 1, Chapter 49: The Mistress Spreads Rumors

Qiao Xi did not even raise her head while speaking; right now, eating her fill was the most important thing, and everything else had to take a backseat.

There was nothing much to do lately. Since her body had just recovered, everyone temporarily forbade her from cultivating. Not playing with Song Ning, nor cultivating, the only things she could do were make some food. Coincidentally, her brother had returned, and she also wanted to send some homemade treats to him.

Seeing Tang Xin suddenly coming down with her luggage, it was clear she intended to leave the Li residence. Xiao Yunshu also did not believe Tang Xin was that kind of person and wanted to go up and persuade her to stay, but she was afraid that Tang Xin might have really done those things, leaving her caught in a dilemma.

Hearing Chu Qi's tone, Yao Yu immediately guessed that after Bai Shiyu entered the Prince's Mansion, she certainly had not come to see Chu Qi, otherwise he wouldn't have asked such a question.

"Many thanks for the Princess's understanding." The lead attendant let out a long sigh of relief. Last time, because he had carelessly lost track of Feng Yufei at the temple fair, this time he dared not simply sit inside the teahouse on the first floor to drink tea in peace; instead, he had assigned men to keep watch at all the exits of the teahouse.

Driving home in ten minutes, he washed his hands, disinfected them, and stepped into the kitchen. He retrieved the dough that he had kneaded and left to ferment on the balcony since morning, and began to knead it again.

He was extremely starving. Someone who suffered greatly from missing even a single meal could now devour an entire cow. It was hard to imagine what it felt like to neither eat nor sleep, so he could not afford to lose.

As for what the seemingly youthful young man said—"My opinion is the King of Dongman's opinion! Conversely, the King of Dongman's opinion is my opinion! Both are the same, both hold true, and both mean the exact same thing!"—that seemingly youthful young man uttered it casually, and they could only listen to it with a grain of salt.

The disc began to spin merrily. Among the five recessed grooves of the disc, three spheres were already embedded, and the remaining two empty grooves should correspond to: the Origin of Metal and the Origin of Earth.

Sure enough, not long after Wu Fan spoke those words, before the two of them had even managed to sit down, security personnel reported that people from the Zhao family had arrived.

Lei Yu had no idea what was wrong with her. Ever since that man visited the other day, A Luo had seemed somewhat unusual. Yet whenever he asked about it, A Luo would smile with exceptional brilliance and reply that nothing was the matter.

"I didn't know before, but I know now." She smiled craftily, her expression truly like that of a fox; probably even Shen Jiuling, that genuine fox, would feel a sense of inferiority compared to her.

The Yun family was originally a medical dynasty. A certain direct eldest son generations ago had been a disciple of a certain dynasty's Medicine King from centuries ago. It was during the chaotic end of that very dynasty that they retreated to live in seclusion in Yun Immortal Valley. Generation after generation, the members of the Yun family studied medicine and pharmacology, and both their medical skills and poison arts were peerless under heaven.

She saw Jun Wu Xie raise a hand, pressing her index finger against her lips to make a hush gesture.

In reality, given Shi Zhijian's current level, being able to barely display about thirty percent of the might of the "Wild Desolation Swallowing Heaven" was already quite good. As for "Subduing Tigers and Subduing Dragons" and "Python Spirit's Trapped Wrath," they required an even higher level of cultivation to be unleashed.

The Thousand-Blade Demon God laughed heartily. In his eyes, Mo Long and the entire biochemical unit were merely dogs produced to serve them, mere tools.

"Strange, where is the other team?" Tan Jun looked around and failed to spot the team led by Lan You, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Aurora City? Ah, Your Highness Xuan Tian, I remember that the Star Empire's 'Medicine' Temple seems to be an independent faction, and even the imperial family holds only half of the authority there. I wonder if this claim is true or false?" Master Longyang rolled his eyes and asked out of curiosity.

If he were not currently undergoing mortal incarnation and thus inconveniently exposed his cultivation, he would have almost failed to restrain himself from making another move to snatch it again.

Of course, his current body was merely condensed from his divine soul. Once he left this world, this body would dissipate, so to awaken the Witch Mark, he had to use his true physical form, otherwise, it would all be in vain.

And his words caused an uproar throughout the entire arena. As it turned out, Chu Qianqian's so-called talent was actually bestowed by Yang You? The so-called three second-grade Great Daos were all taught by Yang You?

At the mention of a lineage of alchemy masters, Ouyang Xiu, Wei Yuan, and the others could not help but look toward Zhong Zhen. Aside from revealing a trace of grievance, Zhong Zhen had no choice but to face his own background. It seemed they could not entirely blame Ouyang Xiu and the others for those strange gazes, as any normal person would react this way.

Yet now, the words suddenly popped out of the Western Taoist priest left me completely at a loss.

However, these were all you in the eyes of others. Ordinary folks, ministers, kings, and marquises—your acquired identities were all you.

Yet, to his frustration, old master Tang Lu's mastery of the intangible "transforming force" was simply too formidable. No matter how Mu Sanqian tried to bring up the matter of the natal sword, the old master would deftly sidestep it—neither agreeing nor explicitly refusing. It left Mu Sanqian so anxious that beads of sweat drenched his forehead.

"An envoy sent by the Son of Heaven? How did he manage to get out of the city? Xuchang should be under martial law by now, right? Even a fly would find it hard to fly out." Lu Xun frowned, unable to figure it out. That the Son of Heaven wanted to send someone to contact Lü Bu was guessable, but by what path had he managed to come out?

"Lord, what should be done with this Chengli?" Huang Zhong tossed Chengli down from his horse's back. As it turned out, Huang Zhong had captured Chengli alive amidst the chaotic troops.

"Zang Ba, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xiu, Lü Lingqi, Wang Shuang, each lead an army and charge!" Lü Bu flew into a rage, splitting his central command into six. Five major generals charged toward Jiayeng Pass from five directions of the mountainside, while he personally led Gao Shun to charge the enemy straight down the main road.

Lin Ai was startled all over, then slowly turned her head to see a girl with blonde hair styled in twin tails and wearing a long black dress pointing a gun-like object right at her and the others.

Moreover, these divine abilities were likely far more formidable than the people of the Nine-Curve Alliance imagined, and were not so easily deduced.

"Two gentlemen, all the finest maidens of our establishment are right here. Please feel free to choose to your heart's content," the madam said, bowing obsequiously.

"What implication is that?" Ledson raised an eyebrow. Every time Lin Ai said things like that, there was more or less some hidden meaning behind them.

It was not yet the time for gaming achievements to shape characters. If one insisted there was one, there was only Super Mario, that plumber.

Xu Shuai drew a deep breath and looked at Ling Hao as if looking at an extraterrestrial being, still finding it hard to believe that the legendary Master Ling was actually this young.
