Volume 1, Chapter 39: He Can't Handle It

He Xin was no longer all that frightened by Shu Xingruo’s verbal threats. She smiled faintly and said, "It's a pity that no matter what wrong I do, Ji Yanli will always be there to back me up."

Shu Xingruo looked at her with contempt. "Then I shall wait and see if he can save you this time!"

He Xin sneered, "You're just a discarded wife. You and your mother are both goods abandoned by men. Do you really think he would deal with me for your sake? Keep dreaming."

Her mother was an eternal scar in Shu Xingruo's heart. Infuriated, she snapped, "Just try mentioning my mother one more time!"

He Xin laughed with unbridled arrogance, "I can mention her a hundred times, what can you do to me? Your mother was just a woman who threw herself at men, and she was even treated by men..."

Before Di Shitian could speak, Richard unsheathed his Peerless Sword from behind him, slashing a single blow toward the other two carriages behind Xu Fu.

Looking at the towering tree that had crashed down, and then looking at the Black Cicada in his own hand and the soft sword in Yaoyao's hand, he felt a profound sense of disparity. Both were soft swords, yet in Yaoyao's hands, it was utterly obedient, while in his own, it practically acted like an unruly child, giving Richard the distinct feeling of what it was like to use someone else's soft sword.

Today's Xuejiajie political affairs meeting reeked of gunpowder. Most of the base officials in attendance had already guessed that this meeting was likely the opening salvo of Xiao Feng's challenge to Huo Sisi for the top position in the Department of Political Affairs.

With that, Richard suddenly let out a loud roar. Activating his Lingbo Weibu instantly, he charged toward Ming Dong, the heavy sword Wanyunjing in his hand slicing through the air with a sharp, piercing whistle.

That was a Buddhist temple filled with ominousness and bizarre dread. Even with Xue Ning's strength, once he approached that place, he would feel his hair stand on end.

Furthermore, during this expedition into the mountains to encircle and suppress the Giant Wolf Stronghold, Shen Yan's sharp discernment had already recognized that His Highness the Third Prince must have extraordinary individuals assisting him. From that mysterious flame attack to the bewildering terrain within the mountains, all these pointed to this conclusion.

"Emperor Yu, wasn't this agreed upon long ago?" The Purple Emperor feared that if Emperor Yu kept talking, he might really execute him on the spot.

"How do you feel? The healer said you fainted because of excessive physical exertion. You scared the life out of me at the time," Jin Wuque said with lingering fear.

"Zhang Yong, I'll toast to you and thank you for treating us today." After saying that, Li Lin took the first sip and then sat back down.

Fortunately, today was not a rest day, and Changhai City had not been very peaceful lately, so there weren't many tourists on Chu Street.

What was even more annoying was that the sniper opposite was holding an AWM equipped with an 8x scope. Without knowing the enemy's professional skills, his entire squad was heavily suppressed beneath the slope.

He secretly guessed that his older sister must have charmed Big Niu again. He couldn't help but admire his sister's charm, which left every man who laid eyes on her utterly infatuated.

However, Mephistopheles had deep ties with the Sky City, a fact Cornell was well aware of. As for whether she herself was willing to see angels descend to save Signal City, even she did not know.

Although he had no idea what kind of bizarre things might appear along this white path.

Still, if he didn't bow when the man in the black robe had already bowed, wouldn't it make the man look like he had completely lost face?

She firmly believed that the man before her eyes would surely fill her future days with happiness.

Therefore, only Libatian remained upon the stairs. He took a deep breath, mustered all his strength once more, and launched his final charge toward the summit not far above.

Just now, they had all been discussing next year's imperial examinations, a matter vital to the nation's foundation. Ye Juncheng held a pivotal role in this, and how could Ye Yuncheng let him leave so easily? He blocked his path and said.

The next moment, a thunderous explosion that sounded like muffled rolling thunder rang out, and following that, the entire Qixia Mountain began to shake.

"Could it be..." A thought suddenly flashed through Fuxi's mind, and soon after, his eyes grew progressively brighter, though he could not be entirely certain of the matter.

"This... wouldn't be very convenient, would it?" This fellow looked completely incapable of trussing a chicken; facing venomous creatures, he would probably be of no help and only bring danger.

Predicting destiny is actually not profoundly mysterious; it is merely praying in accordance with rules. Anyone capable of perceiving the spiritual essence of the earth should be able to foresee fortune and misfortune.

It was time for Dumbledore to release a few spiders, a few unicorns, and centaurs to let them gallop wildly across the forest bordering Hogwarts.

Miyazono Kaori was actually overjoyed inside. This was the first time she had received such a promise from her cousin.

Lian Qingruo walked over to the window, closed it, and adjusted the lampwick, making the interior instantly brighter.

Sakurajima Mai watched their interaction with great interest, suddenly finding it all quite amusing.

"Da da da..." Bailiwu dodge sideways, grabbed an axe nearby—these people were truly asking for a beating, not even letting him rest for a moment.

Upon entering the inner hall, Lian Qingjue and Gu Caizhi heard a succession of lingering, melodic operatic tunes emanating from the pale cyan embroidered curtains, the vocalizations twisting and turning in a heart-string-pulling manner.

Listening to Fan Yao rule out the suspects one by one, Lian Qingruo was driven nearly insane. Her brother's health had always been frail; if the person who abducted him harbored malicious intent toward him, what would become of her?

Along the way, Mike chatted and introduced a very special kind of fish native to their region, known as the crooked-tail fish.

"No, we can't sing gaming songs, we need to pick something else," Tang Xia intervened. If whoever got caught just sang gaming songs every time, how would this work?

At the realm of the Martial Emperor, every tiny improvement was immensely difficult and required a vast amount of time. In reality, the early stage of the Martial Emperor realm and the mid-stage were already two vastly different levels.

"I hired mercenaries from the Underworld Mercenary Agency," Liu Xuan explained to Chen Yan and the others, whereupon they lowered their guard and continued eating, without even asking whether Liu Xuan had eaten or not.

Bailan tentatively took the phoenix egg, and upon realizing it was truly harmless, she observed it closely. It was about the size of a large ostrich egg and felt quite heavy.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, there will always be a way," the courtesan comforted Liu Xuan. Liu Xuan nodded at her words, then checked the time and realized it was already nine o'clock without him noticing.

Charles scooped her up into the bathtub in the bedroom, washing away the traces left on her body—both his own marks and the jam that had gotten on her during dinner.

They strolled around the shopping mall, and by the time they came out, the medicine had mostly taken effect, and Xu Mia was feeling much better.

Evelyn had carefully calculated that even if she were to bear Lord Cosimo's child in the future, it would not shake Charles's position, and she would still need to rely on Charles to get by for at least the next decade.

"You are Hao Kun, who wreaked havoc in the Azure Heaven Sect five hundred thousand years ago? Seeing you today, you're nothing much after all," the Young Sect Master of the Shaoyang Sect sneered.
