Volume One, Chapter 21: You Are Simply a Jinx

“No retreat! I will take responsibility for you.”

So when the Pet Fairy called the Prankster the Braggart King, the Sword Swordsman was momentarily taken aback.

Zhu Bajie’s piggy eyes widened; he had heard of the four great ancient demon emperors—monstrous beasts of legendary status: Hundun, Taotie, Taowu, and Qiongqi.

After a brief fall, the earth returned to normal, and even the buildings remained intact as before.

“Very well, let it be so. One more thing—the situation of the Hua family, Young Lord Wang knows a bit about it. That Liang Zi’ang is relentless; I, old as I am, wish to officiate your wedding tonight,” Hua Hu declared.

Long before the establishment of the Great Sui Dynasty, he had already fallen into slumber. In his eyes, Qi Tianshou must be the son of some great power, perhaps not from the top-tier sects, but certainly no ordinary person.

“No need for soul power to handle this!” My eyes flared with a piercing light. Corpses floated in swarms, but under the chaotic domain, they could only linger aimlessly, and I refrained from slaying them.

In these days, he had come to regard Liang’er as a lifelong friend. This girl, as gentle as flowing water, why was she so kind to him? Liang’er seemed able to soothe, little by little, his wounded heart. His inner scars, much like his physical injuries, gradually healed under her tender care.

One’s homeland must never be lost—this was the true sentiment of all cultivators. Even though humanity was destined to expand its territory across the stars, the homeland must never be desecrated.

With tremendous roars, squads of tanks shattered the tranquility of the snowy plains, roaring past.

Yet he remained indifferent, placing the fairy behind him with one hand, and with the other, employing the Thousand Forms Skill, Da Yun reached for the sword’s tip. Bai Wudi knew he could not dodge this strike; rather than be pierced through a vital spot, he chose to risk everything, using a move that might cost him his hand at worst.

“I can return Peng Li to you, but you must give me the antidote now!” Siyang gritted her teeth, refusing to yield an inch.

“Time to eat, honored guest—fragrant Eight-Treasure Rice,” the carefree voice of Ye Liaosha rang sharply in Xiao Menglou’s ears.

The sudden advance of the Iyo-class heavy cruiser ignited William’s fury; orders to prepare for battle were promptly issued.

Though only two words, the voice echoed incessantly within Chen Yi’s body, as if hundreds, even thousands, were roaring at him simultaneously.

“Both your eyes saw it, didn’t they?” Cui Feng’s tone was icy. Fang Jiuling tried to stop him but found his arm as immovable as molten iron.

Then, the void was torn apart by a pair of massive hands. In that instant, from within the rift in space, an ancient hand reached out, seized the Elder Patriarch of the Tan family, and vanished into the void.

“No serious harm done. The imperial physician says rest and recuperation,” the empress dowager, furious to the point of collapse, had administered medicine, and a few days of rest would see a full recovery.

The Heavenly Water West Elixir rose slowly into the sky, facing the thunder. It began to rotate, dispersing the lightning. The Celestial Jade Cauldron started to absorb the thunder on a grand scale, tempering its body. From within the elixir, intermittent cries of a baby echoed.

“Now, all newly enlisted active combat officers, please come forward to receive your enlistment commemorative medals,” the recruiting officer at the podium suddenly announced loudly.
