Volume 1, Chapter 34: The Dragon Raises Its Head

Shen Dengdai lifted the teacup and took a sip, then spoke in a deep voice, “In my opinion, it’s better to let this matter go.”

The emperor smiled and said, “Very well, I shall spare them the hardship of exile.” With that, he took Leng Yue into the inner chamber.

Once, they believed the greatest calamity was not loving each other; once, they thought that after sincere hearts were exchanged, no hardship could not be overcome together. Yet, they never imagined it would end like this.

Suddenly, a Shui Lin tribesman lunged behind Lei Tian, his long knife aimed viciously at Lei Tian’s back. Lei Tian sneered coldly and with a swift stroke of his sword, severed the attacker’s head in an instant.

Ding Yi, the only one who maintained an indifferent expression from beginning to end, spoke up, and we all set off, each harboring our own thoughts.

Chen Jin’er glanced up at Li Longfei, her face growing more enchanting. Seeing Li Longfei smile arrogantly at her, she blushed deeply and hurriedly stood up, running to the back courtyard.

Gong Yixuan’s eyes burned with intensity as he looked at the man—his mother’s favorite and his benefactor—yet in his heart, this man was his greatest enemy. Fu Yunxi’s feelings for Mei Yan were complicated; he could not be certain that Fu Yunxi loved Mei Yan, nor could he confirm that their relationship was pure.

“Demon… demon… demon…” she laughed foolishly, taking step after step toward him. Finally, she saw his face—he was indeed asleep, peaceful and breathing evenly, the pallor in his face restored to a healthier hue.

“Nuan Yu!” both Gold Blade and Silver Sword exclaimed simultaneously, revealing to everyone that Gold Blade was not mute after all.

For a moment, the sound of drums and horns thundered across the sky; the cries of battle shook the earth. Proud and underestimating the enemy, Fang Tian’s two generals, seeing the limited number of Beiming Yu’s troops, still believed them weak and did not arrange any battle formations. They personally led over ten thousand soldiers to confront Beiming Yu and ordered the rest of the forces not to act without permission.

By the end of September, the “Invincible Fleet,” reduced to just over forty vessels, finally returned to the Southern Liang Kingdom. Under the combined assault of the Wei fleet and a fierce storm, the “Invincible Fleet” was nearly annihilated.

Lin Ran knew she had to immediately sever ties with Wu Zhiping. Now, looking back, it was no wonder Lu Feng had always opposed her associating with Wu Zhiping; perhaps Lu Feng had long known Wu Zhiping’s true nature.

“Is this… still a Hell Ghoul?” The spectators in the stands were dumbfounded. Though Hell Ghouls were rare, everyone present was familiar with them. Now, the ghoul’s drastically changed appearance sparked a flurry of whispered speculation.

So today, she felt she probably wouldn’t have to carry the backpack. But even if she had to, it was no big deal—just a form of exercise. The training intensity at the Wild Wolf Camp was far greater than she’d experienced before, so carrying the backpack felt manageable.

The closure of the nightclub surprised not only Lu Feng but also left the Chai family father and son utterly baffled.

“What?” Cheng Zhenghai took a sip of wine. When Chen Wei had stepped out earlier, they had already finished half a bottle.

Back in the dormitory, Allen immediately woke the two and sent Wood to notify Gray. He and Harry stepped outside to confirm how the situation was unfolding.

“What the hell is that!” When Cai Ming saw the object Wang Yuan pulled from behind him, he couldn’t help but curse loudly.

An old man with a pockmarked face, dressed in a purple-black robe, smiled faintly and spoke in a tone neither warm nor cold.

The young lady was unwilling but helpless—he was already married; what else could she do? Moreover, her son was not the man’s biological child.
