Chapter 66: The Beautiful King's Caged Fish 24

A few days later.

Taking advantage of a moment when the mermaid was not paying attention, Lu Ningshi sought out Cory alone, her expression uncharacteristically anxious.

Seeing her worried and fretful look, Cory opened his mouth, ready to scoff.

"Your Highness, in order to get rid of a rival in love, Chloe has now deceived Diana and taken her to the Water Pillars."

"What?!"

The Water Pillars were the designated site where the Tear Stone was kept. Leaving humans aside, even mermaids of their own kind had to have their ancestry scrutinized for generations before coming anywhere near it.

In the dark, the stranger finally let out a long sigh and said, "Many things are hard to put into simple words. The more you know, the less likely it is to be a good thing. Let's just keep moving." As she spoke, she actually reached out and took Leng Ran by the hand.

He leisurely stepped with a zig-zag gait, completely avoiding the great sword while simultaneously dodging all the attacks locked onto him by the opponent's sword Qi.

Yet, in the eyes of the cool beauty, she assumed that Gin Ichimaru was provoking her. This fellow certainly had a lot of nerve—first taking advantage of her and then provoking her. She had actually thought before that he could bring joy to Yoshino and that keeping him around was a decent idea; she must have been utterly blind.

Suddenly, just as the police officer wanted to say something more, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open. An officer wearing the shoulder insignia of a third-class police superintendent walked in, leaned close to the interrogating officer's ear, and whispered for a moment.

"This wall is simply not something a cultivator at the initial stage of Avatar transformation can break through. Relying purely on cultivation is useless," the figure said softly, reminding those who came later not to stray onto a dead end.

"Python, Python, I told you not to go outside and court danger, but you simply wouldn't listen. Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you," the Seven-Tailed Enchantress said through clenched teeth. One of the seven halos behind her had grown dim and lifeless, presumably caused by damage to her inner core, which had resulted in internal injuries.

In a certain sea of fire, the young master closed his eyes and sensed carefully. This was the third place the young master had stopped at after leaving the protective barrier. Feeling that his control over the sea of fire had increased, he thought of this method. He could sense the hiding place of the flame puppets, unlike other cultivators who flew around like headless flies.

Because Wu Xiuchi hadn't even glanced properly at the other tables, he didn't see that Falcon was also sitting nearby, facing away from his side.

The silvery-white blade in his hand traced faint sword marks against the dark night sky, resembling a pouncing tiger as it slashed toward the opponent with fierce blade momentum.

As for Zhao Yi and the others, it was a great pity that since they did not practice battle qi, they were actually unable to drive the space boat; otherwise, their journey would have been shortened somewhat.

Gu Mingyou: "I'm just someone who likes to travel around, and this time I just happened to see the commotion here and came over."

Chen Yongzhi's background was quite ordinary. In the eyes of ordinary commoners, he was certainly a prestigious clan, but in the capital, he was truly very mediocre.

The sudden burst of anger startled Jiang Che. Especially when he noticed his master's gaze, he felt as if he had been seen through. Panicked, before Mei Xianyan could stand up, he blurted out:

Apart from the two thousand Zhao armored foot soldiers, there were also Jiang Zhui, Feng Bai, and eight miscellaneous soldiers. They would detach from the main force and enter the deep mountains to make contact with several peripheral tribes.

Leaders certainly have a tough time; they even have to rack their brains to figure out which pose makes them look the most amiable and approachable when having their photos taken. How exhausting.

Otherwise, how could she be so bewitching and gorgeous to such an extent? How could the Dao of charm and fragrance techniques she cast be so terrifying and infinitely powerful?

Xia Lingxuan touched his chin. If the Wang family hadn't sent things over at this moment, he almost would have forgotten about such a fine treasure as the Dust-Transforming Grass.

Moreover, Grandma the director didn't have much money on hand either. Even with a scholarship, a fair amount of expenses would still be required.

Ever since Han You left the palace yesterday, Boss Zhou had constantly been sighing. Now, he was standing there nagging incessantly like he was possessed by a demon, and nobody knew what on earth he was muttering about.

Lu Zhizhan acted as if he hadn't heard a thing, his kisses moving from her shoulder to her cheek. He gave her no chance to resist. With one arm around her waist and the other supporting the back of her head, he began to kiss her lips wantonly, prying open her teeth until she no longer offered any resistance.
