Volume 1, Chapter 57: She Has a Group of Backers

Shu Xingruo rolled her eyes at him. "He has never liked me at all. Instead, He Xin has got him wrapped firmly around her little finger."

Enraged, he flicked his right hand, and a flower materialized on the ground. It was unimaginably beautiful, exuding the profound aura of the Dao, resembling a divine herb nurtured by heaven and earth.

Of course, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse; ordinary people could never pick up such a bargain, which also demonstrated Ling Han's formidable strength.

Actually, in my subconscious, I had not yet clearly grasped the existence of a son. Perhaps because it all happened too hastily and caught me off guard, I did not even know what I felt about having a son.

However, no matter what, nobody treated them as human beings, not even Zhao Yue and the others, who had once been one of them.

Earlier, everyone had seen Young Master Mao go inside and even heard the loud sounds of a clash. Just as their curiosity was thoroughly piqued, well, all the noise suddenly stopped.

Song Qingyi slowly raised his head, fixing a cold stare on Mo Feng—whose expression was gradually darkening under the encirclement of several heavily armed police officers—and said through gritted teeth.

Since I couldn't stop Dong Lingling from—at that time, deep down—wanting to stop getting involved with them, because I knew my destiny and fate were different from theirs; I could see those things, and I didn't want to see anything terrifying that might scare me half to death again.

Cheng Chongshan would certainly not let him off easily. If he could get a grip on that information, it would often yield unexpected results.

Of course Lu Yun knew what the Second Prince was thinking. The Grand Preceptor was a massive favorite in front of His Majesty.

This landmine, coupled with the shrapnel whipped up by the shockwave, claimed another eight lives within these woods.

"That old man is truly detestable. He came looking for trouble the moment we stepped out. He deserved to die!" Rongrong said with extreme displeasure.

Ten minutes later, he went from feeling somewhat unaccustomed to being completely adapted. He didn't even need Ye Xuan's support, looking no different from a normal person as he paced back and forth around the ward with a face full of excitement.

Next, beside the half-ton-plus piece of Changhua stone, another piece of chicken-blood stone was unearthed. The red hue of this chicken-blood stone was distributed in strip-like patterns, commonly known as "stripe blood." Pan Decai directed the laborers to follow the clue and dig several meters behind what appeared to be the "Great Red Robe" stone, but they found nothing in the end. Naturally, digging up a whole nest at once only happened with potatoes.

"We cannot do that. If we act like that, the enemy might not necessarily be willing to fight us to the death. As we could see from the recent battle, if we act rashly again, our entire army could be wiped out. By that time, without even having harmed the enemy, our brothers would die in vain." Suiba interrupted the red-skinned middle-aged man and said.

Phil rarely rebuked anyone with such sharp words, and Ed had already guiltily realized that the criticism was entirely justified. What had angered the Paladin was not that Ed had changed his mind to defend the White Crow, but rather his complacent and flippant attitude.

"Please don't misunderstand, everyone. Ye Xuan is a very good friend of mine. I am simply offering my blessings to Ningxue and Ye Xuan. Everyone, just take this as a gift between friends," Gongsun Ningfeng said with a smile.

"Tch!" Robert Horry attempted to use disdain to alleviate his passive position, but Doug Christie didn't fall for that trick at all.

On this uninhabited planet, I took out the astrolabe to check the coordinates of the Western Paradise that the Shadow Sound Devil Emperor had marked for me. There were also several other uninhabited planets around, so I chose one and directly tore through space to head there, leaving behind only a dark, gaping void that closed up shortly after I departed.

Though he couldn't figure out what was going on, the Lord of the Demon Ruins was certain of one thing: with matters having progressed to this point, he had no way out and could only brace himself to press on with the attack.
