Chapter 57

And the mortals making trouble below were also nothing more than a bug, just a slightly stronger one.

Hearing his words, many wizards present wore solemn expressions. Especially a few noticeably older wizards, as they listened to the blue-haired youth's insinuation, their countenances turned quite ugly, and their gazes toward that airship grew increasingly unkind.

"What does the Third Prince's fiancée have to do with you?" Lu Feng blurted out subconsciously, then froze abruptly.

Duan Sitong felt her mind spinning, even experiencing a sense of dizziness, as if everything were fake and exceptionally surreal.

Much like the fire spiritual energy in the underground palace of the Crocodile God Valley, the spiritual energy Chu Yi was absorbing now was extremely pure, requiring almost no refinement to be absorbed directly. In just the span of an incense stick, the primordial energy within Chu Yi's body had completely recovered. However, Chu Yi did not stop; he continued to absorb the power of the stars.

It wasn't until they stepped out of the main gate of the Tianfeng family's estate that Gu Lingzhi silently raised a thumb and gestured at Rong Yuan.

On one side of the highest level of the arena, separated from the spectator stands by a wall, lay a sealed administrative area. This was where the management of the arena handled daily affairs, such as slave trading, booking wagers, selecting more powerful gladiators, and so on.

That criminal had not uttered a single word since his capture, refusing to say anything regardless of the questioning. Ye Qinglin gave Du Jian a look, and Du Jian immediately stepped forward to begin—this was the old routine of interrogation by torture.

While martial artists might not be as exaggerated as body-refining cultivators, consuming an entire ox in a single meal was still entirely possible.

As soon as she stepped inside, an "I knew it" expression appeared on her face. Same table, same posture, Simon was still catching up on his homework.

Even a veteran commander like Zhong Shidao felt he lacked the confidence to gain any real advantage from Li Liangdu, so the current state of the hundreds of thousands of Great Song soldiers surrounding Yinxia City went without saying.

Ouyang Feifei and He Bei had met more than once. Speaking in terms of seniority, He Bei was actually an elder to Ouyang Feifei, and coupled with Li Huai's prestige, it was impossible for Ouyang Feifei to refuse when He Bei spoke up.

Afterward, a campfire was effortlessly ignited, and the three began to heat their food and eat.

Because no matter what, they were indeed in the wrong on this matter; both emotionally and reasonably, the responsibility lay with them.

At this moment, Xue Ming, completely consumed by desire, pushed Zhao Nan off him, shoved his bare backside as he scrambled off the bed, and walked stark naked and swaggering toward the doorway where Zhao Jing stood.

"Are you focusing on bloodline power?" Chu Ling nodded, naturally agreeing with this point. For living beings in the Profound Heaven Great World, whether human martial artists or demonic beasts, the achievements they could attain on the martial path depended entirely on their own bloodline power.

"Immortal Technique • Second Stage — Spirit of the Earth!" With that, the air surrounding his body grew even more distorted. Having unlocked the second stage of the immortal technique, Gungun resonated and linked with even more of the earth's aura.

Even Mogadont was startled. It was said that this youth was a monster, and upon seeing him today, it was indeed true.

Xiao Yu's mouth twitched slightly. With a calm gaze sweeping across the shareholders, he walked over to the conference table, placed the breakfast he was holding onto it, and took out a bag of soybean milk.

At this moment, Lei Tingting arrived. Seeing Zhang Niandong and the pretty girl glaring at each other with furrowed brows, she asked in surprise, "Why are you two arguing?" The last time Uncle Bao came to take her away, she and Zhao Mei'er had crossed paths at this very doorway, though neither had left much of an impression on the other.

At this point, Ah Si asked, "Sister-in-law, who is that person?" Although he had never met Madam Qian, he could already sense that something was amiss.

Ye Zhen curved her lips into a smile. "Does Your Highness mean to imply that my fifth younger sister is lacking? There is no such principle as multiple sisters serving the same husband." Pausing for a moment, she continued, "The Prince Rui's Estate is of noble status, and Ye Zhen is simply reaching too high." Clearly meant as words of false modesty, they somehow managed to sound thoroughly grating to the ear.

"Your Highness, I understand your meaning, but what if the Empress betroths Ye Zhen to Jun Linchu?" Consort Xian said. She had endured in silence, refraining from inner-palace struggles all these years, which was why the Empress harbored little wariness toward her. Her forbearance was merely a tactic to divert the Empress's hostility away from her and her son.

Seeing that Li Zixiao didn't move, Qin Xiqian undid yet another button. A pale pink lace-trimmed bra burst into Li Zixiao's field of vision, its two proud peaks seeming ready to burst through their restraints and peek at the world outside.

"You're usually the type who wishes the salary wired to your card every month would never be withdrawn; how can you bear to take it out to get married now?" Huang Fu's recent actions were somewhat abnormal, and Li San's first thought was that he was getting married; otherwise, someone as thrifty as him would never spend money like this.

With a fierce roar, Ye Shaohan brandished the Emperor Slaying Sword and charged forward once more, whipping up gale-force winds with his blade as he slashed toward the death beast.

Yet, he wanted to accompany him; he would not allow him to wander too far away from himself, especially not into a completely unfamiliar environment. Without a sense of security, he would worry, he would be afraid, and he would grow unhappy.

"Fine, I promise you both, but you must keep it a secret and not tell my old man. If he finds out I spent ninety thousand like this, he'll set his dogs on me." Zhang Deshuai still harbored lingering fears, pleading with them not to snitch, or else he'd be forced to dance with dogs the moment he got home tonight.

"Alright then!" The old man accelerated with high spirits, nearly stalling the vehicle, but unperturbed by the hiccup, he gripped the steering wheel and pressed on.

Having watched Cheng Yining go to work at Longcheng Company for so many days, Su Qian'ai believed her father's words that Cheng Yining was a very capable man. If he truly loved her deeply, and all his tolerance toward her stemmed from that profound love, she might even yield to her father's wishes to set his mind at ease.
