Chapter 19

Zhang Xin gasped sharply and stepped back several paces before Lu’s hand could even descend, sliding into the warm water like a mermaid. She leaned against the pool wall, her expression stunned as she gazed at Lu.

Huang Yitian’s face broke into a triumphant smile. This old fellow still had a long way to go before he could compete with me. I’ve only just made my first move, and victory is already within reach.

Following the direction of Sun Qian’s finger, Huang Yitian looked through a glass screen etched with patterns and saw the white dining table laden with dishes.

Driven by the spirit of the demon, this blade unleashed the supreme swordsmanship of the Demon Lord—the Seven Styles of the Heavenly Demon.

After all the terrible things he did to her, how could he show no hint of remorse? And yet, he had the audacity to defend himself so confidently?

“Why are you still here? It’s so late; why haven’t you gone home yet?” Ling Chen walked over and sat beside Murong Wanqing, asking directly.

“Ladies, at a time like this, it’s better for us to unite!” Wu Lei also held a blade. As he spoke, the knife spun deftly in his palm, tracing illusions in the air.

The scene was somewhat awkward—carrying one on his back, holding another by the hand, and cradling yet another in his arms. It almost felt like enjoying the blessings of three women at once. However, this so-called blessing weighed heavily on Qin Yan.

None of this was the main point. The focus was on a woman clad in a striking red cheongsam, her hair styled into tight curls resembling spring rolls, tall with long legs, slender high heels, lightly made-up, and breathtakingly beautiful—Auntie gracefully approached.

“I heard it like this. As for why the Helian family acted this way, I’m not sure. By the way, what is that formula you mentioned used for?” Helian Yangguang inquired.

But why would Lisa do such a thing? Could it be out of fear that she might become Qiao Qi’s assistant and steal her position in the future?

Stretching lazily after sitting on the couch, Jing Ba had not slept all night and began nodding off soon after settling down.

Several minutes later, the Kunpeng transport aircraft slowly landed at the airport. Over a hundred special forces from Huaxia marched out proudly, with Xiao Yang naturally leading the front.

Yan Shiqi called over Sha Nuan, handing her fifty thousand taels of silver and gifts for the young lord’s wife and the infant, then had Lady Pu escort them to the Bamboo Courtyard.

Suddenly, a sharp pain spread throughout Bai Qige’s body, making her nearly cry out. She snapped her eyes open, gradually recognizing the stern and handsome face before her, whose cold and resolute gaze pierced her soul.

Jian Xin sighed deeply, covering her head with both hands, smoothing her once loose hair behind her ears.

He firmly believed Su Wei wouldn’t do such a thing. Besides, Su Wei was kind by nature and would never harm anyone. What good could it possibly do Su Wei to hurt Liu Yalan?

All living things—from humans and animals to plants—have a natural aura of vitality from the moment they come into the world.

Jian Mo was momentarily stumped by his grandfather’s question. He had never imagined such a situation, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to respond.

Thinking of the secretive nature of the meeting among the four, Guan Xiu dispensed with further formalities and instructed the shopkeeper Guan to ensure the guests were escorted onto the carriage.

According to the captain, the reason for the drifting was to avoid an attack. Later, the transport ship lost power and drifted further and further away. Fortunately, they managed to contact Li Xiang; otherwise, they might have continued drifting until death.

Liu Bei advocated against going, Guan Yu felt too ashamed to attend, Zhang Fei insisted on going to drink, while Zhuge Liang thought it worthwhile to meet Yang Xi and see what kind of man he was. After all, there was a bit of kinship; Yang Xi claimed Pang Shanmin as a sworn brother, and Pang Shanmin was Zhuge Liang’s brother-in-law. So, no one would object to their visit.

At first, Andy found it vaguely familiar when Parson mentioned his father was named Justin. When he learned that Justin had created a homemade artifact to traverse worlds, Andy finally connected that Justin to the man who left a legacy at Grimm Academy.

Chu Yunfeng smiled faintly and, heeding the elder’s advice, sat back down as the old man took a seat beside him, leaning on his cane.

These three grand domain magicians collectively mastered five of the seven mainstream elemental systems, excluding only the two fringe elements of light and darkness.

Upon arriving at Sunie City, the two of us sneaked cautiously into the royal palace. There was no choice; with the fox tribe hunted everywhere, though the pressure was less fierce than before, many opportunists still pursued the fox players. While I wasn’t afraid of them, I dreaded the trouble they might bring.

“My method is simple: I watch to see which side endures the longest!” Li Xiang pulled out a large handful of talismans from the Fish-Dragon Ring, imprinting seals on each and tossing them into the air.

Unlike the young generals below, the veteran ruffians exchanged furtive glances and sly expressions among themselves.

However, Old Pudding hesitated as he looked at Sophia, his face growing serious.

Even she had only grasped less than fifty percent of Dumas’s legacy through chip analysis. But Catherine must have comprehended at least eighty percent of the true essence; otherwise, Anfer would never have come into being.
