Chapter Sixteen: He Should Be Won Over in Bed
At dawn, the mortuary of the Embroidered Uniform Guard’s office was suddenly struck by lightning, which was then followed by a celestial fire that ignited it. Despite the heavy rain, the blaze could not be extinguished immediately; it took several hours of concerted effort before the flames were finally put out.
According to Feng Zhou’s estimation, his current strength was sufficient to roam the heavens freely, yet lacking any powerful backing, he was confined to remain among mortals.
“Indeed, the place you long for is the sacred mountain. But truly, if one comprehends the Dharma, every place is a sacred mountain. Why must one go specifically to the sacred mountain?” Tang Sanzang sighed.
Before collecting the poisonous bees into the cloth bag, he was resolute not to make another move, for it had been a very long time since he engaged in such intense combat, and he felt quite exhausted.
“Let’s not speak of this matter again. Unless something special arises, I will not casually associate with Lord Xiao,” Su Luo declared firmly, a person of her own convictions.
“All right, is there anything else I can help you with?” After finishing the bandaging, Nangong Feiying rarely showed such gentleness as she asked.
Judging by the timing, Lin Mu glanced around to ensure no one was nearby, then turned back along the path to the Blood Fiend Escort Agency. He found a concealed spot nearby and quietly kept watch.
However, Aunt Qing also said he had stumbled upon a fortunate era, where a poker face could intimidate others, deterring those with ill intentions from bullying him.
“How is the matter progressing, Zhi Cheng?” Yun Mei smiled as she looked at Gu Zhi Cheng, clad in black robes. If it wasn’t him who had just conversed with Wei Zhuang, who else could it be?
This pace surprised Su Ran greatly, as if Mu Chengze had long been prepared.
“Master Bo, what do you mean by that?” Sun Xingchen asked upon returning to his office, where Bo Ranye was idly playing with his pistol before pointing its muzzle at Sun’s head.
“Sister, come up. Today, second brother will carry you home,” Jiang Zhuohuai said, squatting down in front of Jiang Tiantian.
With two days remaining before the NJT Cup Youth Tour, Wang Chuyun, out for leisure, temporarily served as a sparring partner, also testing his new racket’s performance.
The red envelope was a red sleeve pouch Bai Qingqing had bought at a local grocery stall, inside which she stuffed five taels of silver, making it feel heavy.

Qin Ming’s question was somewhat rhetorical, a faint smile gracing his face. Just by looking at Lan Feiling’s expression, one could tell she was shy.
As Lin Nian finished drinking water and prepared to go upstairs to find Lin Runing, Tang Feifei, who had seemingly left everyone’s sight and knowledge, suddenly reappeared.
Quan Jinxiao’s long eyelashes trembled slightly; under the dim moonlight, the contours of his face softened the harshness in his demeanor.
However, when a talisman flew from the other’s hand and was smothered by a mighty aura before striking him, the disdain and mockery on his face instantly froze.
Xiao Liyan looked somewhat pitiful. “Still busy,” he said, clearly fishing for concern.
She was worried and fearful. Su Jun was a fickle man, and that deeply disappointed her. Fortunately, in the end, Su Jun did nothing outrageous, which comforted Angela greatly.
At nine the next morning, Na Bing brought people to apologize to Shen Tong, who calmly regarded them.
This allowed Bai Jian, whenever he had contact with Bat, to find a way to relay relevant information. Batt, already tormented, now learned that headquarters was undertaking a rescue operation. His heart warmed like spring, bolstering his resolve to persistently await aid and escape the enemy’s grasp.
The podium lay in shadow; the figure within beckoned with a wave, signaling him to step down. Understanding, he withdrew, and then the figure slowly spoke.
“What do you mean!?” Ming Jing glared at him, sensing her younger brother was scheming again. Even she thought he was rather cunning this time, yet she was glad to be the eldest sister.
Hawk Mountain Estate was known as a place built specially for foreign tourists in K Country, accessible only with a passport. It was a large-scale dining and entertainment complex, featuring internationally renowned modeling troupes.
“Because... this will be the last time I’ll agree to your terms. There won’t be another,” Wang Tianfeng said expressionlessly.
In a moment of stunned silence, Su Jun took the chance to carefully observe Angela’s condition.
“It’s me!” Gently embracing Angela and cradling her hair, Su Jun feared hurting her.

Fide immediately recited the prepared excuse once more, unsure whether it would convince others. Fortunately, he was not tied up and thrown into the lake; instead, a rebel officer who had emerged from the cave received him.
“Demon Daoist, I never expected to meet you here, and that you are not dead. After three million years of resentment, it’s time to settle accounts.” Li Tiantong said angrily, his rage distorting his face into a grimace.
The hungry ghosts gnawed noisily at the barrier, resembling termites swarming a tree. The halo of the barrier began to flicker.
Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, Luo Yan wasted no time and slapped Ye Feng’s shoulder hard.
By the time Bai Yi leisurely returned home, it was late; Bai Ling and the others had long since come back from the mission center.
Holding Tang Zihan in his arms, Lin Yu felt a strange sensation. “Am I embracing someone who wants to kill me? Or have I just saved someone who would kill me?” No matter how he thought, it felt surreal and mysterious.
However, seeing Hao Yue did not intervene, Ye Feng said nothing further, awaiting Hao Yue’s next move.
The Purple Lightning Golden Dragon still spun fiercely; the lotus flower continued to shatter. Birth, frenzy, golden men’s sorrow—all unfolded irresistibly.
“He’s ruthless, but you are even more ruthless. He’s strong, so you must trample him underfoot and show that you are stronger!!! In short, facing An Ru Lie means a fight to the death for you: either you die or he does!” After saying this, the voice vanished from Su Yi’s consciousness.
“No coercion? So you came willingly and accepted everyone?” Zhou You said faintly.
“A man’s word once given is like a chariot that cannot be turned back. I will never renege on what I promised,” even if it costs my life in the future. I have already resolved this firmly in my heart.
