Chapter 60

An hour later, Moyu arrived in the skies above the Xiao family estate. Exactly eight months had passed since he had last left the Xiao family.

Chen Daoqing’s brows furrowed slightly. His frenzied barrage of attacks was meant to weaken the energy in the void, stripping his opponent of absolute control over this space and allowing him to remain here indefinitely.

Having finished speaking, Jia Zhengcai pressed the Tianzong acupoint on Sun Yuwa, walked over to the table, and poured himself a cup of wine. After draining the cup, he continued, "Your sword injured Zhong Zhiyun, but is that not ruthless enough?"

Three hours later, Moyu had penetrated six hundred miles into the forbidden zone, completely leaving behind the outer fringes of the canyon and entering its depths.

She knew her man's temperament well. Unless an unexpected mishap had occurred, he would never have gone completely silent at a time like this.

Unfortunately, both Lin Shishi and Liang Qing were well aware of Zhao Bailong's rotten, straw-filled, scoundrel-like nature, and were not easily deceived.

"Yet he doesn't look like he has recovered, because there is no force behind his strikes," said Steward Gao.

If those words did not stem from Blue Stone's own intentions, could it be interpreted that certain factions or individuals within Green Terrace Mountain, the Elven Court, and the Green Sea Forest were exerting pressure on him, and that her recent actions in elven territory had made them nervous enough to finally take action?

Chen Daoqing’s eyes narrowed as he waved a large hand, instantly redirecting the attack originally meant for the Black Mountain into an effort to seize the Heavenly Mandate Flowing Fragrance Bow.

However, this was entirely normal and represented an essential step in artifact refinement, one that usually took a considerable amount of time. Lu Tianyu's spiritual power enveloped the drop of vital blood, beginning its infiltration into the array disc. Only once the array disc fully absorbed this drop of blood could it truly become Lu Tianyu's personal magical instrument.

Therefore, he didn't care much about why he kept crowing like a rooster anymore. His personality remained largely unchanged, save for the recovery of a vast number of memories. The moment he heard they were going out to watch the excitement, he was so overjoyed that he didn't know how to hop about, scampering back and forth across Shangguan's shoulders.

Qin Nianxi examined the prescription, which contained nearly ten medicinal ingredients including teasel root, poria, and Atractylodes macrocephala, and began to ponder them carefully.

This plot of land should have been a crop field; Zhang Fan could clearly feel himself surrounded by clusters of young wheat seedlings, carrying the fresh, damp scent of plants.

However, leasing it out would be a different story. The subsequent maintenance and development would serve as an excellent way to enhance her reputation.

If that irritable fellow remained stubborn and incapable of turning a corner, then the burly man before them was a prime example of the type.

Even so, she was still willing to buy this painting and hang it in her room. Perhaps just by looking at it, she could subconsciously convince herself that this was what their youth had been like, and perhaps when she remembered it again, it wouldn't hurt quite so much?

This Teacher Tang had a background in medicine; his black witchcraft must have been learned from someone else and didn't even amount to scratching the surface, much less compare to the likes of Wang Youcheng.

Just considering the three meals a day over the past few days—amounting to roughly twenty-some meals in total—not a single dish was ever repeated. Furthermore, every single meal was personally prepared for Su Xuan by Hexi and delivered punctually right on the dot.

This patch of the sky was completely ruined; rain and snow fell simultaneously, sun and moon shared the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and one blank, hole-like void after another had appeared in the firmament.

Therefore, Shi Haoren's first five soul rings were intended to cover five distinct attributes: fire, wind, lightning, earth, and water.

While his initial words were relatively normal, he quickly backed down afterward because the turf-turned-enemies surrounding them had raised their crossbows almost simultaneously. The moment he showed any sign of making a move, he would undoubtedly be turned into a hedgehog in an instant.

Ai Qiaoqiao's hands trembled slightly as if startled, and the bowl of premium broth looked as though it was about to spill over.

The sword spirit gently nudged Miao Meijia. One must not sleep immediately after crying; with suppressed anger in her heart and having suffered a shock, sleeping in such a state could easily cause a loss of soul fragments, leading to abnormal mental states upon waking.

"I've already sent Dark Night to summon the physician from the nearby medical clinic, just in case anything happens and a doctor is needed," Lu Wu murmured, kissing her forehead.

Whether it was the New Regiment or the Brotherhood, gambling was strictly forbidden by Han Zhenhan. Regardless of the form, once you violated the rule, you had to bear the consequences. No matter the reason—whether someone dragged you into it or gave you money to play—as long as you participated in such activities, you had better be prepared for punishment.

Gu Xi’s lips curved into a faint smile as he took my hand and walked slowly forward. From the firmness of his grip, I could sense that he had actually relaxed. I stole a quick glance at him; his dark eyes were calm and unhurried, yet, given my understanding of him, I could detect a bone-chilling coldness deeply concealed within his gaze.

In other words, if your county's grain requisition quota was one thousand shi, but after receiving the order you delivered five hundred shi within five days, your mission was considered fulfilled. Duan Xingzhi had delayed crossing the Pudu River precisely because his grain and forage were on the verge of exhaustion.

Nor was it likely they would go looking for trouble with the imperial family. After all, as long as that person deep within the imperial palace remained alive, none of them would dare to act rashly.

The continuous sound of clashing metal echoed throughout the entire mountain forest, drowning out the thunderous noise of ten thousand galloping horses and carrying clearly across a radius of over a dozen miles.

"If one is determined to condemn someone, a pretext is never lacking! Why doesn't the Demon Queen accuse the Demon Lord of coveting her beauty and secretly stealing her soul-veil and ghost-garments? That way, our Demon Realm would have a righteous pretext to attack the Demon Realm," Yelv Ming suggested.

I clicked my tongue; if Tanxi Valley possessed eight hundred liang of gold, my master would probably die of sheer bliss out in the world.
