Chapter 39

It seemed that once again it was time for her to reason with the other party. Still, she had done this sort of thing countless times and was naturally quite experienced at it.

“Yue’er, what do you think I should name my imperial son? I spent all day and night sitting beside you, thinking of quite a few names. I’ll write them down now and let you take a look, Yue’er. What do you think?” Murong Yan had grown enthusiastic.

拓 An, sitting nearby, could only look helplessly at his younger brother before nodding toward Xilusius.

“The children were tied up. How could they have escaped? Besides, the window there was closed as well.” The moment Li Mingfen mentioned the window, she thought of the room where the children had been confined. It seemed the two children really had climbed out through the window.

Qin Tian suddenly stopped. Just as Yang Xiaodan was wondering what he intended to do, Qin Tian had already spotted a tall figure atop the treetops through the wind and snow.

Nie Chen had originally been furious, but the moment he saw Zhu Feng’er’s resentful expression, his anger instantly cooled. He shook his head helplessly and sighed. Speaking of it, the way he had met Zhu Feng’er had truly been rather melodramatic, and not unlike how he had met Zou Lanxian.

Mo Wushuang held her chopsticks suspended in midair, unable to decide which dish to reach for. Everyone at the table could sense her disappointment. Mo Nianhua also regretted bringing up the subject of boyfriends again, but it was already too late to make amends.

“Qingxue, you are already carrying my child. So what would be wrong with letting me look after you for a few months? Whether you admit it or not, the fact remains that what was meant to happen has already happened. Several months have passed. Now that we have met again, could things truly be worse than they were before?”

Han Mingchao felt rather embarrassed saying this. He raised a hand and scratched his scalp.

Galadriel and Gandalf exchanged glances that plainly said, “The other side is obviously not very intelligent,” and neither was willing to look away first.

Han Li had anticipated this result long ago. After all, he was merely a Qi Refining cultivator; he was not qualified to become a Core Formation cultivator’s formal disciple, though becoming a named disciple was possible.

Dongqing still wore that same wooden expression that had not changed in a thousand years. A-San said, “The fact that I am not blaming him for offending you is already quite generous.” As soon as he finished speaking, Dongqing’s hand—which habitually rested on the hilt of his saber—gave it a slight pull.

Although these two heroes differed somewhat in their methods of operation, their overall abilities were nearly equal. Either side had a chance.

At the stern, no one knew what Huang Feiyun and Xue Qingwu had said to each other. Huang Yunfei seemed to be in a fairly good mood, but when it came to Zhong Yigu, he had encountered a true hard stone—stubborn and foul, like a paving stone from a latrine.

As it turned out, Du Yanhang had been right. Hai Muyang had long known that Xia Hai could not hold Du Yanhang and the others back. Thus, while traveling, he had also arranged many things along the way as a precaution.

If the Myriad Swords Art were created, it would inevitably become the Immortal Sword Sect’s fourth great legacy sword technique. However, since it had not yet been created, it did not count as a secret being passed down. That was why Grand Elder Mei was not afraid of Lian Yun learning about it.

After it used its “death ray” to level half the parliamentary hall, hundreds upon hundreds of Reaper warships just like it broke through Zion’s clouds. While releasing vast numbers of mechanical-octopus-shaped drones, they also fired thick crimson lasers at everything within sight.

I rolled my eyes toward the sky. “It’s only my second day at school. Who do you think I could have offended?” I truly had no way to explain my grievance. Who on earth had such a grudge against me that they would send someone to follow me?

A waiter came over. Wang Yue and Yi Xixuan casually ordered two drinks. Just as they were about to ask Tang Jie what she wanted, she suddenly stood up.

It was as though she had returned to Momo Internet Café, back to the time when she had only recently met Wang Yue and had joined him in playing in an Internet café tournament.

“Enemy attack!” In an instant, Wang Hou’s hands had taken the lives of nearly ten people, shocking the adventurers fighting on the ground.

Ye Leng still could not see through He Lan Qingyuan’s temperament. After all, he was an old fox who had spent more than a decade in officialdom and clearly possessed some real ability. Ye Leng continued to hold her brows high, her eyes filled with indifference, but inwardly she had grown wary. The slash across her chest had most likely been that old fox’s warning.

“Yes!” The guards were her personal deathsworn, utterly loyal to her. They would never betray her. That was precisely why, after Prince Jing left the capital, the two of them dared to stay together so openly and without restraint.

He Lan Yao had asked Li Xin and Ning Ruxi to persuade He Lan Ting to become a double agent, and Li Xin and Ning Ruxi had fulfilled their mission admirably.

He knew very well that the young cultivator’s soul realm was no weaker than his own. This meant that if he did not pursue him immediately, the young man might escape.

“Don’t look at me. I’ve collected quite a lot of protection money lately, so I can still manage,” Su Ya said without turning her head.

However, some things could never be compared. For instance, take two contestants: one could maintain the most stable level of performance throughout an entire match, while the other performed well at times and poorly at others. The difference between them was self-evident.

“As you wish, my Holy Mother.” As its words appeared in her mind, the delicate woman beneath the sword vanished in an instant.

“Heh heh… this…” Ziluo laughed awkwardly, stammering so badly that she could not manage to finish a complete sentence.

The Sage’s Lady? Upon hearing the honorific bestowed by their patriarch, all the servants attending nearby were dumbfounded.

But this time, Ergouzi and Duan Jiude refused to back down. With their whiskers bristling and eyes glaring, the man and the dog both desperately seized hold of Xu Que.

When something happened to someone else, it naturally seemed insignificant. But once it became connected to oneself, everything could change completely.

Boss Jia chuckled and waved his hand. “There’s no need to trouble yourself. You should sit down as well.”

Shopkeeper He returned to his seat.

At that moment, the spatial bracelet in her hand began to radiate intense heat. It even detached itself from her sea of consciousness and floated directly before her eyes.

Thinking back to the Qilin Patriarch and Duan Qide in the world of memories, she realized that they truly matched the man and dog standing before her.

Li Yunxiang fell silent. He tossed aside the cigarette he had smoked less than halfway. “Get in the car. I’ll take you home.” He reached out and took my hand.
