Volume One, Chapter 48: Li Chen Is a Sesame-Filled Glutinous Rice Ball

(1/3)
The Ninth Princess rushed and lunged toward Chen Rong, closing in on her side in an instant. At the same time, her right hand swept out, and the dagger in her grip sliced through the air in an arc.

Jiang Chengce reached out to take the coffee from Princess Shizuko, but Princess Shizuko drank it herself instead, completely ignoring him.

At this moment, Hong Xiang and the others had just finished their meal and were feeling rather bored. Since Cheng Yin had delivered himself to their doorstep, they naturally were not going to miss such a good opportunity to stretch their limbs and aid their digestion.

Because they were overly nervous and failed to observe carefully, they missed many wonderful things instead. In the Bluestone Illusion, they had overlooked the connection between consciousness and the illusion itself, which was fraught with peril. Being able to think this far was already quite difficult, let alone stepping onto the third path.

However, even so, the situation was not entirely one-sided, because a mishap occurred with Duan Zhengyan: his Six Meridian Divine Sword malfunctioned.

Wang Bo voiced his doubts. The strength of the Outer Realm Alliance could be described as formidable, capable of fighting to a standstill with the Dugu Alliance, a veteran second-tier faction. This strength should have been enough to keep Zhuge Qinger in the Outer Realm Alliance. Yet, although the Yuli Alliance was currently on the rise, it was ultimately still a newcomer and not yet overwhelmingly powerful at the top.

She sat before the vanity, cupping her chin in both hands, and stared unblinkingly at the photographs—some showing sunny smiles, others gentle ones, and some serious ones—her eyes filled with intoxication.

"Indeed, it must have been a traitor who saw that Father was defeated and fleeing, and cowardly shot a poisoned arrow at his back from behind. That left Father unable to react in time, resulting in fatal wounds. Meanwhile, the personal guards fought to the death to cover Father, allowing him to return alone on horseback and leave us with those dying words," Ma Tie also said with lingering hatred.

History has the Three Heroes battling Lü Bu at Hulao Pass; right now, there is my Hong Xiang battling the Seven Heroes, which can also be considered a legendary tale to be passed down through the ages.

Standing in a daze for a long time, he looked at Chen Rong once again. By this time, his gaze had regained its clarity and tranquility.

"Darling, as soon as we meet, you're already impatient to take off my tie?" Ye Feng still smiled.

To give the younger generation an opportunity for tempering, it was decided to ask Mist Rain No. 23 to follow this momentum and stir up an anomaly.

Daoist Ghost Eye looked closely and saw that in Musheng's hand was a blood-red, ferocious eye glaring viciously back at him. Was it not the Rakshasa Ghost Eye he had previously given to Musheng? Only now, this Rakshasa Ghost Eye was countless times more powerful and fierce than when he had first handed it over.

It was just a matter of paperwork. For Xiang Nan, it was merely a word to be said. He told Huang Fei that he could go right over now, as he would clear all the connections.

A casual flick and thrust by Old Man Mist Rain forcibly compelled Xiangzi to jerk his head and dodge to the side.

Ye Feng's gaze deepened. Cupping her head, he lowered his gaze, pressing his lips firmly against hers.

The rebounding force slammed directly into Ye Feng, tangling around his body and making him sway like a duckweed caught in the wind and rain.

For all these years, he had never relaxed his vigilance for even a second, all to prevent a situation like the present from arising.

Meanwhile, Emperor Qingtian, Liu Qiangu, and Marquis Shenwu flew forward simultaneously, unleashing surging spiritual energy that exploded across the air, launching a ferocious bombardment against True Monarch Qi.

She hadn't originally read manga, but back when Old Man Mist Rain was recuperating at Eientei, Kaguya-hime had recommended quite a few to him.

Once stripped of its abilities, it was as useless as a chicken rib and offered no longevity—much like a one-time-use treasure.

He had fought for so long that his mind was somewhat numb, failing to immediately realize the implications of this reinforcement of demon seeds entering the battlefield.

There was an indescribable detachment in the old man's eyes, as though he had long since grown indifferent to the affairs of this mortal world.

"Say that again?" Lu Qingfan not only raised an eyebrow this time, but his gaze also swept sharply toward Yuelu.

Taking it all in and hearing it with her own ears, Yang Yunxi only felt irritated. At that moment, she genuinely wanted to grab Xu Xun by the shoulders, shake her fiercely, and demand to know what on earth was packed inside her head.

"Very well. As you wish. In any case, we never force others to do things against their will." Six Leaves' face revealed a look of joy.

"You will regret this! You will definitely regret this!" It stared at Jun Xunqing with bloodshot eyes, shouting furiously.

Zhou Yan's words were grating, but they were clearly the truth. Thus, as soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the Zhou siblings froze immediately. Zhou Zhen, in particular, looked at Zhou Yan with a dark, distorted expression.

Kyle said the final two words, "my man," in Chinese, and smiled at Wu Fan as he finished.

If they were to find out that the Bright Sun Stone from last night had already turned into the Flame Heart today, wouldn't they immediately move to seize it?

Song Ran and two clerks stepped forward to bid their farewells, mentioning that he had important matters to attend to in the afternoon. After offering a few words of condolences, he departed first. The two of them remained silently companionable, leveling the ground. Afterward, seeing that Qiukui had burned some joss paper nearby, Xia Yan picked up a single sheet and placed it into the fire as well.

The plump President Ronald said hurriedly while obsequiously leading the way for Madam Lolis.

Puzzlement aside, with a wave of his right hand, he transferred the spiritual plant along with the giant cauldron into the Earth realm space, then cast his gaze around the surroundings once more.

Xia Xun's expression shifted. "I certainly wouldn't dare go looking for the Vermilion Bird right now," he quickly said. "Who knows if that Daoist priest has said anything bad about me."
