Volume One, Chapter 37: The Demon

The brief two-word reply was like a knife, stabbing straight into Jiang Yihuan’s heart and stirring up a suffocating sense of oppression within her.

She had nearly forgotten that the man holding her and kissing her was on the verge of getting married.

So, no matter how one looked at it, what they were doing now was inappropriate.

Just as Yuan Zhi was preparing to summon his primordial violet aura and flee, a sudden crash sounded behind him. Du Heng came tumbling down and hit the ground, clearly the victim of a surprise attack.

Mei Yi first protected her vital points with an ice shield before launching her assault. Compared with earth magic, water magic possessed considerably greater offensive power, so she opened with three ice arrows.

At this, the people below looked at one another. They wanted to say something, but with the Azure Emperor present, none of them dared utter a word.

Lang Jintai was horrified beyond words. He abruptly turned around and saw a tall, dark-complexioned man strolling toward him.

Just as the three men—the King of Qin and his companions—were about to perish beneath the joint encirclement of the Blue Star army’s navy and air force, a naval fleet from a southern vassal state of the former Chu kingdom, which had long since surrendered to the Qin army, finally arrived at the critical moment. It drew away part of the Blue Star forces’ attention and won the King of Qin and the others a sliver of hope for escape.

On the way out, he ran into Dr. Araide and Ms. Jodie. Since the children had gone in first, everyone else was waiting outside.

Though they had been apart for only a few days, the child seemed somehow different again. His face had grown a little thinner, while he appeared to have gained a tiny bit in height. Children of that age grew like weeds after a spring rain, so it was hardly unusual.

Yuan Zhi readily agreed to Peng Yun’s request to continue digging for red-bean turnips the following day. But he could not withstand Peng Yun and his big-eyed little sister’s earnest pleas, and ended up digging for three more consecutive days. Each day yielded six red-bean turnips, causing an uproar throughout the entire Peng Village.

Su Yang let out a long sigh. Even after becoming the most powerful being in existence, there were still people he could not save. With difficulty, he nodded.

Yet the reason people condemned Shangguan Xian one after another was that they feared the matter might implicate them as well.

From time to time, armored soldiers would come along. If they found anyone on the road, a few threats were enough to make them submit; anyone who resisted was cut down where they stood.

When the many droplets of water came within a foot of his body, they suddenly dispersed completely. This was not the result of Duancang Shou’s control, but the effect of being struck. Thus, Tianyan’s earlier sword stroke had been far from simple.

Today, his first choice was still the Skills section, followed by the Equipment section, and finally the Miscellaneous section.

A thunderous boom drowned out the sound of the blade severing the neck. Blood gushed forth, splashing across the man’s face.

Those four young men were probably Jin Yanling’s personal bodyguards. Jiangnan had not had time to substitute anyone in their place.

Then he turned his gaze toward Bai Luo. He extended a hand toward the checkpoint talisman on the chest of the dried corpse, grabbed at it with his fingers spread like a serpent swallowing its prey, and a powerful suction force instantly appeared. The checkpoint talisman was drawn into his hand.

“Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!” This time, it was not only Chahanke; the other members of the Di people were equally excited and cried out their thanks.

As Qingfeng continued speaking, he suddenly paused. Remembering the strange regenerative ability he had witnessed, he was struck by a sudden realization. He assumed he had figured it out and did not dwell on it any further.

“Brother Yuan, I, Mo Sihai, have never worshipped anyone in my life. Now I do—and that person is you,” Mo Sihai said.

Overwhelmed by the old madam’s warmth, Wang Ning froze for a moment before thanking her. Seeing this, Elder Qin said a few words, then left Wang Ning behind and went off on his own.

[Yes. All character toys produced by the system can have their bodies and abilities controlled by the host.

Quantity surpasses quality. One divine position cannot defeat three divine positions. Ling Changge was confident that he could crush the Sea God, Poseidon.

Since the other party could black out because of his imagination, it would naturally be able to suffer injuries because of his imagination as well. Now, it was his turn to be on top.]
