Chapter 40: The Moonlight of the Miao Saint 24

"I'm sorry."
Yang Chengchuan's eyes trembled. He half-knelt on the ground, holding her hand, and pressed his forehead gently against it.
He lowered his posture to an extreme degree—a posture of submission he had never once shown before his subjects.
"I'm sorry, Weiwei. I don't want to lose you."
He apologized once more.
"Yutai..."
He paused, realizing she didn't know this person, and then explained, "That is, the chieftain of the Miao village. He opposed me and—"
Suddenly, Liu Zhenlong's eyes lifted upward, revealing a ferocious expression on his face as he stared at Jiang Chen like a venomous snake.
Meanwhile, He Jin looked at everyone's reactions with smug satisfaction. After a moment, he raised a hand and pressed it down slightly to quiet the crowd.
Upon returning to the cram school, Zhao Xunze confirmed repeatedly that Liu Xiu truly wanted to learn the currently popular tabletop games to take back and play with his friends, so he began preparing his lesson.
At that moment, the members of the Dark Night organization inside the car also noticed Liu Mang. They had been startled by the commotion of their companion being kicked straight in, but it still took them a moment to react.
"Li Xiao, your brother is emotionally agitated right now. Don't argue with him; let's talk about everything when we get home," Cheng Jiaao said, pulling his wife back.
Qi Xuan followed Luo Tianze into the villa, and Feng Ying emerged from Qi Xuan's bottle to manifest.
"You needn't take this matter to heart. What you must do next is drill the troops quickly, guard the docks of the Greater Shanghai well, and don't let the Japanese soldiers break in," Wu Ming said with a wave of his hand.
Instantly, the Azure Dragon was overjoyed, wishing he could tightly embrace Fifth Nian and plant a passionate, fiery kiss on her lips as a token of gratitude.
However, very few people knew the truth. Those Underworld ghost runners and immortals who constantly shouted "Lord Third" only knew that they couldn't afford to provoke Qin Wuming; they had no idea of the real reason.
The surging water column ultimately proved no match for the roaring waterfall. A single droplet splashed out and appeared before Yi Zixuan's eyes. Yi Zixuan opened his eyes, and through the droplet, the hundred-foot waterfall looked like the Heavenly River crashing down, vast and mighty.
Yet Aunt Yue's gaze swept past the two people pinned down by the old maids not far away, and looking at Yun Yao's indifferent expression, a sudden sense of foreboding rose in her heart.
However, Li Yi's Soul-Devouring Gu Poison was fused with the Blood-Coagulating Exotic Poison, which could instantly freeze an enemy's blood. A fierce beast's essence all resided in its vital blood; with its blood frozen, the ancient toad simply could not survive.
Words that should have been said, and words that shouldn't have been said, Ling Jiantong had already made extremely clear to him from the start. Unfortunately, a selfish person like Situ Qianchen would never understand.
The two of them, confident in their formidable strength, did not dodge. However, given the immense strength Li Yi had displayed in Yun City, they still struck out with all their might, each delivering a palm to meet the attack.
"To think there is still a man as infatuated as you in this world, Senior. Seeing such infatuated devotion from you, this junior truly feels thoroughly ashamed. Since this pill is called the Withered Bone Spring-Transforming Pill, I presume the beast bones you acquired have all been refined into this type of pill?" Mo Mo had already guessed the whole story.
Xue Qing's bright, clear-as-water eyes seemed capable of speech. She looked at Xing Chu with a smiling expression, parted her vermilion lips, and spoke softly.
Ugh... How did he run into her again? The moment he realized it was her, Wang Dong subconsciously wanted to hang up the phone. But upon second thought, doing so would make him look somewhat in the wrong. He just wanted to inquire about something; surely he didn't have to walk on eggshells around her for that.
"Your Highness is righteous, this general accepts the command." Gu Qingming took the imperial decree from Prince Yu's hands and cupped his fists.
A scorched, meaty aroma instantly wafted through the air, causing the stomachs of the garrison soldiers present to involuntarily rumble. Yet the moment they remembered this scent came from the corpse of a comrade, a wave of nausea washed over them.
Li Yi frowned, a sudden surge of anger rising in his heart. The Xuanwu District was the territory of the Li family's mortal enemy, the Wu family; were they trying to use a borrowed knife to kill someone?
