Volume One, Chapter 28: She Was Poisoned Because of Him

"Oh? Reported by the Intelligence Division? There have been no reports from the local regions recently," Li Zhong asked, frowning.

"Oh, so they do have Star Avatars after all." Yi Tianyun had assumed they lacked them, but looking at the Green Demon God's son, it was clearly visible.

"I—I’m going to kill you!" Zhu Xing roared. A wolf’s howl erupted from the Heaven-Star Scarlet Wolf behind him, which began to merge into his body, rapidly healing his wounds.

The various prodigies spoke up one after another. It had to be said, these geniuses were still somewhat wary of the death of the previous group.

The two members of the Behemoth race knelt on the ground, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads; they had not expected this situation to arise.

The battle-hardened generals summoned by the system all possessed the ability to challenge those of higher ranks. Upon being summoned, they started as Martial Masters, and after using upgrade pills to reach the peak of the Martial Master realm, they could contend with low-level Martial Emperors.

When the Heavenly Emperor walked in, he swept his gaze across the surroundings, which were stained with blood, and finally, his eyes landed on Yi Tianyun.

He Jingheng’s words finally brought Head Constable Zhao and the other bailiffs to their senses; it seemed what Young Master He said made a lot of sense.

But the problem was that Prefect Huang was his own father’s direct superior, and his mother enjoyed a very cozy relationship with the Prefect's ninth concubine. Well, for the sake of his father’s future, He Jingheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and make small talk with Prefect Huang.

Even now, Nan Changqing still remembered the look in Si Chen’s eyes at that time. Amidst the ruthlessness and despair, there was a glimmer of hope.

"Heh... fits well." Zhu Lingqi was also trying on the garment. Hearing this, her face, which usually maintained an unchanging expression, twitched. Her mind involuntarily flashed back to the moment Landon measured her, followed by the memory of the "A--" written on that piece of paper.

As a match ended, the system automatically exited the game, and suddenly, a dialog box popped up from the battle network.

Yan You had been staring quite intently at their joined hands. Although he was still running, his eyes simply could not look away. That was until he finally collided with the pillar in front of him.

"Since we’re all here, wouldn’t it be a wasted trip to leave without doing anything?" Goto smiled faintly. For some reason, looking at her face at this moment felt strange; perhaps it was the lighting?

In this situation, compounded by the darkness of the night and the targets clearly illuminated by torches, the Wuhuan tribesmen who had charged in fell into a state of absolute passivity once the Yellow Turban Army fully launched their assault.

In Zhou Zhou’s observation, three or four wisps of Emperor Flowing Nectar were being drawn by the invisible pull of the Spirit Gathering Sword Array, pouring into Lin Xiao’s body. If this were a game, it would likely pop up log entries saying "Lin Xiao's Root Bone +1," "Lin Xiao's Root Bone +1."

Bah! Whether intentional or not, Wang Lingyun was Wang Lingyun; she could never break her bad habit of refusing to use the main entrance.

The belated official media account paused for a moment before instantly overshadowing all the "anti-fraud pioneers" and "authoritative independent journalists."

The vampire man’s eyes darkened, and the secret letter was tossed into mid-air, vanishing into a wisp of smoke without a trace.

If he were to absorb An Lushan’s demonic energy into his own body... that would be the simplest way to destroy the enemy.

After watching the newly released Hollywood blockbuster and finishing their late-night snack, the time reached 10 PM. Liu Liu and Li Zijun did not stay in Hollywood and drove back to the supermarket. Meanwhile, Chen Chumo and Xiao Xiao had just broken the ice in their relationship and weren't quite used to it yet; after exchanging a few brief words, they parted ways to return to their respective hotels to rest.

Li Jingle remained silent. He suddenly thought of Hongjun, and remembered the look in Yang Guozhong’s eyes when he looked at Hongjun. Hongjun’s father had given birth to him to separate the Heavenly Demon Seed within his body, while Xie Yu’s father had given birth to it to alleviate his loneliness.

"Yingchun, you are a lucky one, unlike your sister Yuanchun." The Second Madam suddenly looked sorrowful.

"I am here on a secret mission, reporting directly to the Sect Leader. No one else has the right to know of my existence. Shopkeeper Luo, do you understand?" Xu Yang said, using the most sinister tone he could muster.

July was dazed. It felt as if she had never heard Cold Twilight say such sweet words before, yet her heart was filled with sweetness.

After calling Liu Qian twice, the line was still busy. Xu Yang sent her a text message and put down the phone.

With Ning Jingfei as an example, no one dared to bring up Princess Shaoyang again, and the banquet proceeded amidst the clinking of glasses.

"Don't do anything, just wait. Three days. There should be news in three days. Let’s leave it at that for now, let's not talk about it anymore. Come, eat. There’s still plenty left, don’t waste it." Chen Chumo tossed a stalk of celery into his mouth and chewed while speaking.

Liu Huaiyong was a grown man; having him climb mountains of knives or seas of fire wouldn't be a problem, but he was completely defenseless against the way Ruxuan acted like a spoiled child. He immediately said softly, "Alright, alright, I promise you, we’ll wait a little longer before we leave." Seeing Liu Huaiyong like this, everyone chuckled softly.

When Baili Changkong was hacking away at the venomous creatures, he suddenly realized that the poisonous beasts within a radius of several hundred miles might all be gathering here. Wouldn't Lu Fei and the others be in great danger? When he glanced toward Lu Fei’s side, he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Eunuch Liu flicked his horsetail whisk: "Then this servant shall return to report to the Emperor! Lord Chancellor, I bid you farewell!" The latter part was addressed to Luo Hongying.

He waited only for Yang Tianxing to suppress Yang Mo, so that he could use all his might to seize the supreme treasure on Yang Mo’s body.

Su Yin looked at all this in disbelief. Long Cangfeng’s movements were practiced and familiar, his strokes like iron and silver hooks, hitting the mark with profound force; he was clearly a seasoned veteran.

As the words fell, a light breeze began to stir, swirling in the air as if responding to her call.

It was a small but exquisite box, though it was impossible to tell what material it was made of.

Zhou Yuanbin was struck with terror. His body swayed and he nearly fell, reaching out to steady himself on the table, unable to speak for a long while.

In fact, because Swan was not paying attention to the meeting, when she heard him say this, she thought it was possible he had left temporarily. She didn't take it to heart.
