Volume One, Chapter 28: The Fifth Mistress

Chen Shouzhuo smiled and slipped inside. He felt a slight tremor throughout his body, but it was nothing serious, and he successfully entered the world of the Purple Mansion.

In the beast world, where females are so scarce, a male must be exceptionally outstanding to win a female's favor.

He remembered the burly third-in-command he shot dead yesterday; even in the freezing cold, the man had been wearing very thin clothing. The bandits had claimed that this third-in-command had already broken through the physical barrier.

Sometimes, if the front-row seats were already occupied by males who arrived earlier, Lucius and his companions would not bother to compete for them.

Just then, the carriage reached the mansion gate. Shi Fuming laughed, "Come, let's have a few good drinks; we won't return until we're drunk tonight!" Amidst their hearty laughter, the carriage drove straight into the estate.

Actually, this light was not the infinite, magnificent radiance of the Light Emperor Yahweh, but the light of the stars—a great and celestial luminescence.

Clearly, he had been utterly exhausted by all this recently. His business ventures had always gone smoothly before; even when faced with minor difficulties, he could easily resolve them by pulling a few strings behind the scenes.

Qin Ming focused his mind, reciting the true formula repeatedly and earnestly until he had memorized it without a single omission.

Mu Yun'er was angry at his lack of restraint. He had gone on for so long that her waist and legs ached, and even her backside was sore.

Upon arriving at the Listen-to-the-Warmth Pavilion, the moment he entered, he saw Lu Zhaoling lounging lazily on a soft couch, reading a sheet of paper covered in writing. Seeing him come in, she merely lifted her eyelids slightly and cast a glance at him.

Immediately following the rowing competition, another water-based event began—the swimming test. Since the participants for this event were often the same ones who had signed up for the rowing competition, it was simply held back-to-back.

"Sigh, I suppose I'll just drag it!" Twitch turned around and began to pull the wildebeest backward, looking quite comical.

If he couldn't do it, he would be forced to hand over his own grain to his father to make up for his tall tales.

There is a legend that stems from a common saying: "The First Green does not move, the Second Green sways, and the Third Green lands on the Lugou Bridge."

Under He Yuchen’s puzzled gaze, Yi Chen placed his right hand directly onto the top of He Yuchen’s head. Although He Yuchen was somewhat reluctant, once Yi Chen unleashed the oppressive aura of a Zombie King, He Yuchen immediately grew obedient, standing perfectly still and allowing Yi Chen to do as he pleased.

Thus, the four of them filed into the woods one by one. Seeing that the poison zone had already shrunk to Jinggang Mountain, those two had no choice but to run from the gas.

"Alright then, I'll cook it for you to eat today." Yi Chen gathered Xue Meng into his arms and walked toward the steamed bun shop.

Was this a dancing pose? Could he be planning to dance? King Bader and Mu Youye exchanged glances, unable to fathom what Murong Ke intended to do.

After being soaked in the medicinal potion, the liquid seeped into Lord Meow's skin, making his body feel gentle and comfortable. The heat within him increased, and his bone and muscle cells slowly regained vitality as they were nourished by the potion. Strands of energy began to spread outward, and his bodily functions started to recover gradually.

This was what Huo Si'ao truly felt. He wanted to ask for Gao Lan's opinion; after all, following him meant facing a life of blood and carnage. Although he loved Gao Lan deeply, he understood that forcing her to stay by his side would only bring her endless danger.

The Earth Sun King’s army was completely trapped in the encirclement Ye Juntian had set, with soldiers collapsing and spitting blood one after another.

Furthermore, Lin Zhenyue had commercial motives for doing this. The real estate industry was at its lowest point, with both land and property prices having plummeted to the bottom.

Shu Nian was embarrassed and didn't know how to respond. Ye Yan pulled her hand down and held it firmly in his palm. He could feel her palm was damp.

The captains were all waiting in the 50th District. These captains were not only the captains of the Gotei 13 but also five captains from the Royal Guard.

As for Leng Yue, she had merged with a Frost Crow. Fortunately, it was a female crow, which suited her well.

I even pettily asked about the difference between the four-dollar and three-dollar ones. Kang Qi said it was a difference in hair quality. To be honest, I couldn't tell, but I was quite envious because I wanted to be vain too.

While passing through that layer of space, she felt a distinct pressure. Once that feeling of compression vanished, she found herself outside the range of that mountain.

However, much to Ji Shan's disappointment and alarm, in the face of his provocation, Mo Yufei had yet to respond when the Clear Buddha Monk used the opportunity to make a point, ordering Ji Shan to recite the sect rules and, even further, forcing Ji Shan to apologize to Mo Yufei in front of all their fellow disciples.

Leng Xizhe slowly turned around. Lin Sese saw that his face was covered in tears. He looked at her with such heartache, so unwilling to let go, his eyes full of lingering attachment.

Li Weiting straightened Lin Sese’s shoulders to make her look at him, even though she appeared somewhat dazed.

After glancing at Luo Yu’s slightly slender figure, Xuan Shuang lightly moved her delicate jade feet, which were like the legendary three-inch golden lotuses. Her slender, pure white figure followed closely behind Luo Yu.

"Is it because my mother is a high-ranking leader in Dragon Soul that I was invited?" Li An asked.

Now they knew that only they—and they alone—could continue to accompany the Carl Pei team as they endured the onslaught of the storm.

But whether it was angels or reapers, as long as the power bestowed upon him was real, then for Ye Qingfeng, it actually made no difference.

"I never imagined it. Our own mages actually have the ability to do this. That prison is supposed to isolate all mental and magical power, right?" Ji Yijun exclaimed in shock.

Li An didn't have time to think; he grabbed the fire extinguisher that had fallen to the ground and sprayed the flames on the enemy, then looked back at Hu Yuehai.

The eyes of the two black-robed men seemed as if they had been frozen, staring unblinkingly at the peerless beauty in the white dress. It was unclear whether their gazes held lust or worship. They were lecherous men by nature, and now, seeing Xuan Shuang’s face of such matchless beauty that it could topple empires, they were so captivated they couldn't even speak.

Having reached this point, without waiting for Qianqiu Huan to continue, Li Tianfeng understood that he was certainly afraid of retaliation. He then said, "I understand. Since that is the case, I will go out and see." He then turned to bid farewell to Yang Yulan and left the room.
