Volume One, Chapter 47: An Old Acquaintance?

“Miss, I have sprinkled the medicinal powder on the Second Miss just as you instructed,” Ling Yu whispered softly as she followed closely behind Shang Yinqiong.

Su Dongyi gritted his teeth, uncertain of where the Demon Moon had vanished to. After all, the Great Dragon’s domain was blind, and despite his frantic search, he found nothing. Only he knew the turmoil brewing within.

But the higher the heavens, the deeper the darkness; the Azure Dragon never expected Shen Yaxi to forge a soul contract with it, to take its blood in a solemn oath of poison.

“No! This is a matter of great importance. What if the Emperor’s health is harmed? How will you explain that?” Empress Dowager Duan’s expression grew stern.

“That’s simple. I will report to the higher authorities. When the time comes, you just present your special operation permit. There will be someone there to receive you,” Ye Qingtian nodded calmly.

A single banquet stretched deep into the night. When the guests took their leave, Lei Yu handed each a hundred jars of the finest ‘Purple Mysterious Wine,’ much to everyone’s delight.

“Starting tomorrow, spend two hours each day coming here to bet with me once,” he said lightly, completely unfazed by how wide my mouth had already opened, large enough to fit an egg.

Ye Hun’s words expressed intention rather than decision, meaning there was still room for discussion among those present.

In truth, after Shen Qianqian accepted Badak, the first time they fused, she ceased to be mortal. Badak’s strength was overwhelming, and Shen Qianqian gained immensely from their union—this was essentially dual cultivation.

With this realization, Wang Jie’s speed surged again, leaving behind a streak as he soared toward the magma realm.

At twenty, under the university sky, youth was meant to be spent lavishly. Some found enlightenment; others found love.

Stepping out into the living room, Fu Shaochuan’s hands remained firmly around my waist. Yang Zixi was far from calm; though her wounds were treated, seeing me emerge made her want to rush forward in a fit of distress.

Listening to his words, his accent didn’t seem local. Perhaps from the same city, but a different district—similar yet distinct from my own.

Before his voice had fully faded, the whip entwined around me suddenly loosened and snapped fiercely toward Young Master Liu. With a sharp crack, it struck his head, tearing flesh and skin. Liu let out a miserable cry, clutching his head immediately.

Zhang Lu, the taekwondo expert, finally played a crucial role, turning the tide just enough to prevent Han Ye’s hefty weight—over a hundred and fifty pounds—from crushing Shen Bing, who had just stepped out.

In the past, there might have been one or two careless families who didn’t take things seriously, but once every household in Peach Blossom Village wore warm clothes and ate their fill, those wicked thoughts ceased.

“That’s the idea. The Ming Dynasty lacks copper, but Taiwan has none either. There’s no choice but to adopt a modified steel refining method,” Ximeng explained.

As Uncle Sam’s influence spread, many became aware of the Western competition, and numerous people voluntarily joined, even though they came in halfway through.

Shortly after the appearance of Universe Island, Director Zei received notice and immediately convened a staff meeting.

Over ten thousand Bandscale Demon Apes flew not too high, crossing over the bright ocean. The strong wind whipped up wave after wave, creating a magnificent spectacle.

Seeing Liu Ming in danger, Xia Siqiao had long abandoned her earlier cautions and cried out in alarm.

This was the most powerful Mystic Ice Fire Lotus ever seen, containing not only the perfect Destruction Sword Truth but also the eternal Sword Truth’s protection. Its power was several times greater than before.
