Chapter 120

“You’re still as beautiful as ever,” I said solemnly, without the slightest hint of jest.

She glanced once more at the jade pendant. She had originally taken that gentleman for a kindred spirit, never imagining that he was actually the Duke of Britain, who had such a connection with Yao Ling’er. Jing He felt disgusted all over again. Why did every man connected to her have to be entangled with Yao Ling’er as well?

“Actually, I only sought her out because I like Chinese cuisine.” After swallowing the mooncake, Brother Luo unexpectedly made a “witty” remark.

Ultimately, the true key to the ascension of the bloodline lay in the power controlled by Bu Fan. Without Bu Fan’s assistance, even if the theory of bloodline ascension were correct, the Spirit Clan would have no way to put it into practice.

She remembered only Su Ziqin’s usual arrogance and the way she made things difficult for her at every turn. When had she ever seen Su Ziqin serve food onto her plate?

If it became necessary to reveal it in the future, it would also bring the sect a considerable boost in prestige.

He Zilan, in Chang’an Palace, had no idea that she had already become the object of someone’s designs. After receiving rewards from Her Highness Consort De several times, even someone as inexperienced in worldly affairs as she was could tell that Emperor Renshou had secretly prompted it.

The man standing beside him wished he could end him with a single stroke of his blade, so that he would stop uttering such revolting words. Alternatively, he wanted to plunge a knife into himself and reject them outright.

He had not yet finished speaking when they heard Gao Qingnan’s bones begin to crack. At that moment, Gao Qinglong collapsed to his knees, watching helplessly as his own younger brother was tormented by Li Shuangqiang. He clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with murderous fury.

Xilun had withdrawn from the Europa Alliance several years ago. Although certain lingering ties remained, it was still a potential ally worth winning over. Compared with other nations, Longhua and Xilun already had a foundation for cooperation, after all, Anna’s status in both countries spoke for itself.

“Shut up!” Ziyanran cried out angrily and shamefully. The Mad Dragon and the God of Slaughter had often teased her about Qin Han, and bringing it up again now made her even more unable to hold her head high.

Yet this single step was as impassable as a heavenly chasm. Lin Yi and the other three found it impossible to cross, their movements seemingly frozen in place.

Once this step was taken, everything that followed would fall naturally into place and become effortless. The key lay with Tang Shi. No matter what method they used, they had to break through the opening presented by Tang Shi.

Qin Han stared sternly at Dick. He struck with his sword, but the fierce sword aura was swallowed entirely by the howling wind.

“I don’t know yet. I’ll have to wait until I get there before I can find her. For now, all I know is that she’s in France.” Roy told him the truth.

“Old man, just beat me to death. I don’t want to live anymore anyway.” Yan Bin opened his bloodied mouth and roared incessantly at the Grand Elder.

Yang Tianlong had originally intended to separate Xia Shihan and Miao Jingxiang while they underwent their tribulation. However, there was not enough time, and besides, there was nowhere else in Yanjing suitable for undergoing the tribulation.

Several soldiers from Fire City directed everyone to line up. No one knew why, but none of them looked dispirited. On the contrary, they seemed rather happy.

“Could Yanbo be in danger?” The moment Zhong Yanbo’s boyfriend heard that the other person had a weapon, he immediately flew into a panic.

Upon hearing this, Xun Yi raised an eyebrow. He had not even said anything, yet the two of them had already begun helping each other evade responsibility.

He doesn’t trade stocks, so why is he so interested in the financial news channel? At this hour, they were reporting nothing but stock-market developments.

In an open area deep within the valley, tens of thousands of skeletons were packed tightly together. Strangely, they had completely lost all vitality, and even the fires of their souls had been extinguished without a trace. Had Andariel’s undead army and its core forces truly chosen to destroy themselves here, silently and without a sound?

His words carried a distinct air of bargaining. The smile on Yin Qi’s face vanished in an instant, sinking into an icy expression. His entire countenance became so cold and frightening that it sent chills down the spine.

He drank as he examined the layout of the place. There was only one door here—the same one through which they had entered the hall. As for whether there were any others elsewhere, he truly had no idea.

A useless man who had languished in silence for five years, despised by everyone, had managed to rise to this position.

Tang Long covered Long Yitian’s mouth and dragged him away. Tang Long was tremendously powerful; once he had him under control, Long Yitian was completely incapable of resisting.

At that very moment, Yan Guigui had risen up with her long whip and broad saber, fiercely battling Xiao Qiushui, Tang Fang, and Tie Xingyue.

“Losing face is nothing, but a person cannot live without backbone. Foreigners can act arrogant and overbearing in Huaxia, so why can’t I do the same abroad? Besides, he came to ask us for help this time. If he provokes me, he’ll have to pay a hefty consultation fee.” Wang Zhi still refused to let the matter rest and spoke angrily.

Baili Suxue had not expected Li Yang to seize upon her words and refuse to let them go. Yet a moment later, he gave a mocking laugh and said—

Although Li Yang was always laughing and joking, casual and domineering by nature, Chen Yuewan could imagine how many brushes with death he must have endured to achieve all this.

Li Hengxuan said softly, “Luo Li possesses not only the True Eyes, which can see through every illusion, but also the treasure-seeking abilities of a treasure-hunting mouse.”

After tinkering with it for more than three hours, they finally finished uprooting the seven or eight tea trees, carefully wrapping their roots. At last, the work was complete.

The other party might not necessarily succeed, but the sensation of being watched and coveted nonetheless made Cai Jing feel as though a thorn were lodged in his back.
