Volume 1, Chapter 46: Another Ambiguous Chapter (Blushing)
When a group becomes accustomed to being guided by a certain entity, it easily grows used to taking orders from it. As long as the guide makes no mistakes, it naturally evolves into the true leader in due course.
At that moment, as dawn was just breaking, Shen Fan and Liu Yan halted at the entrance of a valley. They heard Liu Yan heavily clap her hands twice, followed by a rustling sound in the distance, resembling someone treading softly over snow.
"Actually, it's just a peace talisman inside. Why don't we just ask for another one?" Wei Yuan consoled.
"I never expected a Daoist friend of the human race to arrive. What an honorable and rare guest," the brocade-robed elder took the initiative to bow in greeting.
As long as one offered absolute loyalty and served the Divine Emperor, matters such as race, faction, specialization, or the scope of one's abilities were of no consequence whatsoever.
Since Liu Mingda, Liu Mingyuan, Xu Ying, and Zhao Minghua all already had jobs, they were not given New Year money. Chen Daniuwanted to give them some, but none of them accepted it.
Chu Linfeng's eyes widened in disbelief. The spatial domain was gone? Did this accomplishment ultimately benefit him, or that fellow Chu Lintian? Besides, using a trial world as a weapon... was he, Chu Linfeng, perhaps the very first in the entire River of Stars Sanctuary?
Madame Vasachi spoke softly nearby, her lovely eyes lingering repeatedly on the towering Gothic architecture around her, seemingly contemplating how to construct a few such buildings in Auditore.
"The effect of the Holy Light spell is very good, with no abnormalities whatsoever." Assuming Becky was worried about the efficacy of the healing spell, he offered an explanation.
Essence herbs under five hundred years old are classified as lower-grade essence herbs, those from five hundred to one thousand years old as middle-grade essence herbs, and those exceeding one thousand years as upper-grade essence herbs.
Jiang Ming nodded. He indeed remembered going to the ocean depths to cultivate, but for some reason, something seemed to have gone wrong with him, and he had no idea how he had made it back.
"Hand it over!" Li Chang's voice was extremely low, and anyone could tell he was suppressing the fury raging within his heart.
For her, the dilemma of ascending being easy and descending being hard did not exist. Choosing to descend would be very relaxing, but she was merely a single step away from reaching the peak. To give up now left her with an unfulfilled reluctance.
With that, the Heavenly Demon General turned over his palm and displayed a stone that truly resembled a single droplet of water.
"How can this be? This is my shop, why can't I run it?" Sun Meifeng's voice raised in pitch.
At that instant, the man's expression changed drastically, and his body instantly retreated, a pair of suspicious and uncertain eyes staring fixedly at Ye Feng.
The two burly men, who were clearly the masters of the Iron-Thread Centipedes, seeing the miserable state of their companion beasts, hurriedly cupped their fists and pleaded with Wu Cong.
Indeed, just as Ye Feng had said, taking advantage of the time he was trapped, if Ye Feng were to set up another powerful array, could he truly be certain he could escape?
Gao Hua's concise eight characters made Wang King's heart leap with shock. The temptation was simply too immense—large enough to serve as a sufficient bargaining chip to betray Diqun. Aside from the cultivation techniques they practiced, the greatest difference between the cultivators of the Heavenly Prison Continent and those of the Lixuan Continent was their breadth of vision.
Once inside the car, Beibei pulled a stack of cash from her pocket and handed it to Ah Dai. That prompted me to remember that the gambling stake Ah Dai had given me was still in my pocket, so seeing Beibei return hers, I immediately took mine out and handed it to Ah Dai as well.
A single sword stroke sliced off a section of the magma python's tail, causing the creature to shriek in agonizing pain. However, Chen Feis attacks did not stop because of this; instead, like a cleaver chopping vegetables, he delivered several consecutive sword strikes with rapid succession.
Singgegeru said, "It doesn't matter. We still have plenty of time. There is no need to rush. Let's go get something to eat first and then come back."
"Uh..." Han Yang was left speechless for a moment. He was already a freak himself, yet he was calling others freaks. It seemed that hidden experts in Huaxia truly existed, and there were quite a few of them.
This was genuinely throwing a difficult problem at me. That skeleton could not be touched; attacking it would cause Qin Tian to sustain injuries. Whatever was one to do about this! Strange occurrences like this—let alone witnessing one—had never even been heard of. How was this supposed to be resolved?
The golden light hoisted Rakshasa up, passing through the energy barrier to reach my side. Although he was delirious, he remained aware of my presence.
Gu Mozhu suddenly felt a deep sense of shame. He had clearly once promised to give Erya an entirely new life! Could it be that a brand-new life meant forcing him to live beneath the shadow of darkness?
Dressed in a crisp white suit, combined with his inherently handsome facial features and tall, upright figure, Yuan Mingcheng at that moment appeared before Dongfang Qing like a prince on a white horse.
Yet perhaps they would never know whether the glory and wealth Sun Quan left behind for them was a true fortune or a cup of poisoned wine.
Wanyan Xiu shook his head with a trace of regret, strolling leisurely toward Gong Mo, his "good and worthy brother" of many years.
First, he unreservedly acknowledged her beauty, and then he remarked that she was clingy and well-suited to be kept around as a pet to look at.
Just moments before, he had sneaked into Weiya's room, located her paper cranes, and imprinted a wisp of his spiritual consciousness onto them. This meant that while Weiya could still control those paper cranes, the moment she activated them, he would instantly sense it on his end.
Through extreme self-restraint, I walked as if treading on thin ice. I had no idea how long I had journeyed, but fortunately, aside from encountering a few bizarre sights, no unexpected mishaps occurred, and my tense nerves gradually began to relax.
This train of speculative thoughts made me even more convinced of my prior hypothesis. However, did this map imply that those blood-monsters had emerged from that very place? An even more terrifying truth abruptly surfaced in my mind, causing a chill to run down my spine.
Gu Qingyun nodded; this was a way of quietly alerting others that his household was in mourning, with the fine hemp cloth indicating the duration of the mourning period. Noticing that the jewelry worn by Jian Wei and Gu Jing had all been removed and replaced with simple wooden hairpins, he felt a deep sense of comforting relief.
She played a classic piece by Tchaikovsky with vivid precision. Mo Yitian closed his eyes; with his exceptionally high appreciation for the piano accumulated over many years, he could not detect a single flaw in Lin Xiaomo's performance. True to his expectations, she possessed genuine talent.
Just as he rounded the spirit screen wall, he heard a rush of hurried footsteps approaching from ahead, their chaotic rhythm clearly audible.
Shortly after, upon hearing from an old servant that Gu Jishan and Old Madam Chen had woken up from their nap in the back courtyard, Gu Yongliang and the others hurried over to pay their respects.
After listening to a financial interview for a brief while, Xu Ying lost interest and switched the channel to her favorite youth idol drama. Shen Shu silently brushed back a strand of hair, her slightly bloodless lips pressed tightly together.
