33. Day Thirty-Three: I Never Thought...

Page 1 of 3
The Third Prince was born amidst auspicious omens, and that year, Xiliang’s granaries were overflowing. For this reason, the late Emperor held him in great favor.

Jiu Yu made no attempt to conceal the resentment in her tone; she hated Xi Qin with every fiber of her being. Feng Yinnian fell silent for a moment before saying, "Senior Sister, you must be aware of what happened recently. A demon entered this place and took everything belonging to Xi Qin, including the cultivation techniques you gave her."

Mu Xinyue had initially been angry, but seeing Liu Junzhi openly admit to plotting the assassination of the Prince of Lu in front of her—effectively treating her as one of his own—her resentment subsided.

The conglomerate behind the grand market also provided tax-inclusive customs clearance and logistics services. You only needed to pay the required fee, and you wouldn't have to worry about transportation, customs, or taxes; they handled the entire process as a third party, and with high efficiency at that.

Jin An’s gaze flickered with rare hesitation. Seeing Cao Qi reach out, he blinked, extended the tip of his tongue, and gently licked the man’s clean, fair palm.

Thinking about it now, it seems truly ridiculous. Jiu Yu is really inferior to Xi Qin; how did she even secure the position of head disciple?

Mu Xinyue rarely saw her father so stern with her. Knowing that he was genuinely angry and that she could not bluff her way out of it, she had no choice but to tell him the truth about going to the palace to offer a plan to the Emperor and her intention to go to Jiangnan to procure grain.

To keep fighting would result in too many casualties; it was not worth the cost. Such demons required heavier firepower support, and it might even be necessary to sacrifice the multi-billion-dollar Longjiang Bridge to succeed.

The village had a custom: they would select a visitor to be sacrificed to their ancestors, and once chosen, they would be presented with a lantern containing a sedative.

Unexpectedly, Tang Yun stopped in front of the large iron shed, her Tang sword slashing directly into the iron pillar supporting the structure.

"Are you saying that you intend to follow this princess wherever she goes?" A peculiar smile bloomed on Princess Taiping’s face.

Bai Muxin watched the two of them and began to laugh as well. It was not a bad thing for Chen’er to have such a brother. As long as he did not repeat his past mistakes in this life, his future would be infinitely vast.

"It was me." Chen Shaoming had long been accustomed to skeptical gazes, so he didn't care at all, simply nodding and answering casually.

Fang Leixiao did not press him. Although Jing Rong was impatient, seeing Fang Leixiao’s confident and ambitious demeanor caused her to suppress that urgency—anything done in excess is as bad as falling short, and if she pushed too hard and aroused Lady Ru’s suspicion, it would be troublesome.

"Don't tell me you had a hidden reason, that you had no choice!" Liuli scoffed. Back at the Demon King’s Valley, the one most wounded was Ling Che, and she was likely the next; she had even lost a life.

"And what if I refuse?" Chen Shaoming said, his eyes erupting with an unbearable, chilling killing intent as he stared directly at Elder Lin.

In a private room at a teahouse, Guo Hainan and Cheng Zhang sat across from each other, with Cai Xianbin and Zhang Chukun standing behind them, respectively.

After a click, the shaking vanished instantly, and everything remained steady. Wang Dabao did not know what had happened; he was certain he hadn't misheard, yet in the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal. Could it have been an illusion?

Three black figures appeared simultaneously within the range of the illumination spell. This time, without needing any orders, the warriors of the Saint Fighter family used their sharp double-edged broadswords to cleanly bisect the Night Hunters, while the Light Mages, not to be outdone, blasted the remaining ones into dust.

His movement was to raise his hand and reach out. As his palm touched the cool, smooth cheek, his heart felt an immediate sense of peace.

"Brother Tuomu, your name contains the character for 'wood'; could it be that your true form is a Wood Spirit?" Shi Yan asked.

Qin Xiao was responsible for covering the retreat, fighting while falling back. After Li Lei and the others had run a significant distance, he turned and sprinted away.

"Order the city gates closed and conduct a search of the entire city. Find that butcher Liu!" Ye Feise commanded immediately.

It was likely that upon hearing news of Li Zhi, the "Great Marshal Who Subdues Demons of the Three Realms," marching to conquer Mount Ling, they had come—not necessarily to assist, but potentially to use Li Zhi’s forces as a cover to reclaim Mount Ling for themselves.

Ruan Jiaojiao had not intended to eavesdrop on so much, but based on what she had heard and what Ruan Qingshuang had done, she must have known the plot as well. Was she a reincarnator, or was she, like Ruan Jiaojiao, a transmigrator?

Such a deep wound must have been incredibly painful. Had it been an ordinary person, they would have been wailing and crying for their parents in agony by now.

At this moment, Zhao Yao of the Zhao family and Elder Wang Lu of the Wang family both revealed malicious expressions as they looked toward the head elder.

Qin Xiao and the others followed Cao Yuanzhi and his companion into the house, where they saw large quantities of food and daily necessities piled up—enough to sustain dozens of people for some time.

It wasn't just him; even if his senior brother from the "Demon Master’s Palace," the "Great Sage Who Covers the Sea," the Jiao Demon King, had come, he might not have had absolute certainty in capturing the Seal-Bearer of the "Heavenly Gift Guard."

The male colleague’s name was Chen Zhong. He was a university graduate in his twenties who had joined the company a year before Ye Nansheng. He was fairly good-looking and usually kept close to Ye Nansheng at the office, as they were similar in age, both graduates from prestigious universities, and had plenty to talk about.

Although I am an outsider and don't understand these things at all, I know that if even Qing Nian, Jia Yi, and Hei Ji are full of praise, it means that Yifan has truly become remarkable.

Shui Wuyue stood up slowly, dragons circling around her. In this moment, she felt like an empress, capable of freezing everything; before her, all things would be entombed in ice.

However, after killing someone and then absorbing their power of the Great Dao, the strength gained is limited, far less than the direct supply of Great Dao power provided by entities like the Five Elements Spirits.

I covered my mouth in horror, forcing myself not to scream. The more afraid I became, the less I could scream, otherwise, I would only terrify myself further.

The Profound Heaven Treasure Hall was severely damaged, and the Ancestor Chongzun once said that it required the origin of the world to "awaken," though that would only be an awakening.

The two of us arranged to meet directly inside the car. The windows were covered with black tint, making it generally impossible to see the faces inside.
