59 Demon Trial Card 20

Listening to Ningning, Tang Ning'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She felt as though she, as a mother, was being looked down upon by her own son. She truly had no idea what to say.

In the past, she had considered the concept of internal energy to be a sham. There were simply too many charlatans using so-called internal energy to swindle people in the pugilistic world. However, after meeting Moke, she discovered that internal energy might not be entirely false. Things passed down by the ancestors over countless years could not possibly endure if they were entirely fictitious.

According to what Li Xue had told him previously, she and Moke had only been dating for a short time, so even upon returning home, there was no need to worry about being asked about marriage. Yet, the events of last night and Liu Qin's current relentless questioning about marriage made him vaguely feel that something was amiss.

"What on earth is going on?" Song Ruyu stripped him down until only his undergarments remained. Personally wringing out a warm, damp towel, she wiped his hands, face, and body. She even mischievously slipped the hot towel inside his trousers, playfully and recklessly rubbing him all over.

At this thought, Bai Yuan forcefully suppressed the urge to consume it, putting away the white pill in his hand while anticipating the arrival of the Ghost Market with even greater eagerness.

"Endless years cannot bring true serenity. Otherwise, why would we flee to the Pristine Spirit Sacred Ground?" said the man holding a wine glass.

He withdrew his hand and looked at Ningning, asking, "Ningning, is your mommy feeling unwell somewhere? Why does she look so listless?" When he saw Tang Ning'an before leaving last night, she was clearly fine and bursting with energy. Yet, after just one night apart, her personality had undergone a complete inversion.

Lin Sixian was naturally pleased by his cousin's visit, but upon seeing the vaguely familiar child standing behind Lin Zhiyi, he couldn't help raising an eyebrow and signaling with his eyes: What is going on here?

"Hmph! Truly worthy of being the ancestor of the Meng family, elders of the Holy Court—as arrogant and despotic as the Meng family itself," Chiba said with displeasure.

Seeing the Emperor remain silent, Shen Mubai could not help glancing at that exposed piece of jade-like arm, knowing full well it violated protocol, while a sudden, deep shock surged within his heart.

"Strolling means strolling through a place like the West Residence—auspicious and tranquil. Everyone, perk up your spirits and let's go take a stroll in the West Residence." Yun Xiao stubbornly lifted her foot and stepped toward the West Residence's gate, leaving a few maidservants to follow helplessly behind her into the estate.

"Mm... The taste really is quite good." Surprisingly, it also grabbed my other arm and opened its mouth to bite down. But before its teeth could even touch me, the force restraining my arm suddenly vanished, and a cool sensation immediately spread across my wrist, temporarily subduing the pain.

Yet too many unexpected events had occurred afterward, making it nearly impossible for the two of them to meet over all these years. Even when they did meet, it was only for a hasty parting. By now, the heavy burden resting upon Wang Jie's shoulders did not allow him a single moment of negligence.

Days passed one by one. The foreign merchants had already arrived in the Bohai Kingdom, and although the Ministry of Rites wanted to step forward to receive them, their proposal was flatly rejected by Da Xuanxi, on the grounds that foreign merchants were mere traders and did not warrant a reception led by the Bohai Kingdom's Ministry of Rites.

Bai Rushuo stood quietly in place, completely ignoring the Second Demon Lord's shifting form. Slowly closing her eyes, she swept her vast divine sense outward to continuously scan her surroundings.

The problem occupying his mind was actually trying to guess Wang Xiu's intentions and how he was directing operations from within the room.

As the softly spoken command fell, the spiritual array began to spin violently, sending ripples cascading through the surrounding space.

Ma Chao's words from Shanghai resonated with undeniable weight, silencing the members of the Battle Sect who had previously voiced numerous opinions.

Liu Mochan did not stand on ceremony. For a fleeting moment, she had felt a pang of heartache sensing the desolation in the man's aura, and now she eagerly wanted to know what had made Duan Jinrui's smile so stiff.

Xuanming still remembered the trace of unmasked gentleness that used to surface in Shangguan Hong's eyes whenever he spoke of his mother. At that time, he knew that Shangguan Hong truly loved his mother. Those warm and touching words had been entirely genuine.

Although inwardly she felt some repulsion toward the marriage arranged by her parents, having no other alternatives, she had no choice but to accept it.

Although Elder Cai had always diagnosed and treated political leaders and also served part-time as a health consultant, he had never meddled in politics, strictly adhering to what a doctor ought to do. This was precisely why none of his disciples had achieved greater success than him; possessing empty technical skill, they found it difficult to apply them.

Lin Rui naturally noticed this look, and at the same time, he also noticed the necklace and ring on Su Linwan's neck and finger.

Zhang Qinghe paid it no mind. In his eyes at this moment, there was only that nascent sun and moon, and the sword light spanning thousands of miles unfurled by his own hands.

Zuomeng and Li Song exchanged glances. They now understood what the former Earth God Zilin had meant when she said she was staying behind to protect the demonic energy pool.

At least for now, she could ensure that even if Lu Yuanan investigated these photos, he would never suspect that the person in them was Su Linwan.

"Don't take pictures!" Realizing something, Jiang Wanyin immediately stepped forward to block Qin Luan.

Although using cultivation techniques here was forbidden and Uncle San would be watching, wasn't Uncle San absent from this place right now?

As the Heaven-Locking Chain shattered, a blinding light—a rampant radiance that seemed intent on incinerating everything into nothingness—manifested from Guo Sicheng. At this moment, the East Heavenly Emperor no longer seemed like the master of his own physical shell, but rather... a mere vessel bearing some otherworldly entity.

Hearing this, Wang Zhixin's thoughts sank deeply—it hadn't even crossed his mind to associate it with Li Pi'an. Could someone capable of altering his appearance and intentionally traveling all the way to the territory of Divine Xia be some wet-behind-the-ears novice?

"Just last night, word came that she caught a cold. The physician has already been to examine her and there's nothing serious, so Your Highness the Princess Consort can rest easy." Concubine Zhou walked alongside Xiao Xiwei, supporting her waist with one hand and holding an elderly maidservant's arm with the other.
