Chapter 198: The Siblings Finally Reunite in Jinling

Chen Lanfeng inexplicably received orders and was coerced by the two detestable agents, Xu Enzeng and Dai Chunfeng, to come here, supposedly to welcome Japanese Navy Rear Admiral Aoki Qiao, a fellow graduate from his military academy. Deep down, he was very reluctant.

But since he was already here, he couldn’t neglect proper etiquette, lest he face criticism upon returning. Offending those two would only bring endless trouble later.

Chen Lanfeng reluctantly extended a hand, but Chen Jiehua did not take it; instead, she forcibly embraced him. “Old classmate.”

Xiang Dongliu merely glanced over without a word, drawing his broadsword and stepping forward.

After Liu Yongquan left, He Lang began settling accounts. Not long after, a faint breath sounded near his ear, followed by a smile.

Some hidden divine bodies could, under certain conditions, unleash godly power, even evolving into true divine constitutions through rigorous refinement.

“Remember, this plum blossom is neither as radiant as the peony nor as elegant as the lotus, yet it is the most dignified and fearless of cold. Endure the harshest frost, and it will bloom brilliantly. Bingyi, don’t you think so?” Xu Pingjun turned, blinking at Liu Bingyi, her eyes full of meaning.

The house had been unoccupied for some time and gathered dust. Without hesitation, Bai Qing began cleaning. Zhou Mo, unfamiliar with chores, could only stay by my side, attending to me—asking if my wounds hurt, if I was thirsty.

Upon hearing that Zhongli was besieged, Yuan Shu dispatched Ji Ling to rescue him. Yuan Shu forgot Liu Ze’s specialty—encircling the besieged to attack reinforcements. This mission ended in Ji Ling’s needless death.

What intrigued her most now was her aunt’s remarriage. Who was this man? What extraordinary qualities did he possess to compel her aunt, well into her later years, to risk her reputation and remarry him?

The outer strongholds of Kushan were already ablaze, flames advancing inward from all sides. Bo Gu never imagined Zhao Yun and Xiahou Dun, seeing the rising fire, had already withdrawn their troops to the perimeter, setting a trap like a vast net, waiting to catch their prey.

I was furious. If Wang Hao were bullied again in Dongguan Town’s territory, that Black King would truly have overstepped.

The letter contained no excessive nostalgia, only pleading for forgiveness of her servant status, to spare her child and husband embarrassment, and to ask for care for Lady Jiang of the Xie family—nothing difficult.

“Jinpei, I believe it won’t be long before we meet again. I hope that after this is over, we can share a drink!” Zhang Ye smiled warmly.

“That young man—who exactly is he?” Elder Mo Feng was stunned. He couldn’t recall any such talented youth within the Jiuli Sect.

Not only did he possess a body immune to all poisons, but his mobility was also extraordinary. Now, he even harbored the true dragon constitution.

“Ye Huan, what should we do now?” Dreamwalker approached Ye Huan. With the only hope—the human alliance fleet—now rendered ineffective against the formidable end-of-days insect ancestor Abuhos, how could they possibly fight?

As the group advanced through the cavern, all crystals were carefully cut and collected, leaving only sealed crates behind. Naturally, they followed the path leading to the crystal cave, where the richest crystal reserves lay.

By normal standards, Ye Lei only needed to eliminate five more Sanctuary warriors to meet the system’s requirements for his promotion to Sanctuary level.

The side quest #2 reward was of little use to Zhang Ye now—it was merely a seed. To nurture it would take considerable effort.

However, since they still needed to search for the Nirvana ‘Cave’ estate, it was unwise to openly clash with the county governor’s office, which was why Cai ‘Lang’ was spared.

The Quenching Gold Stone was the hardest ore in the world. Its immortal-grade variant’s toughness was beyond question.

Everyone was utterly astonished. Ordinary disciples knew nothing of Han Xiao’s origins or the existence of the Evil Dragon Blazing Heaven Wheel. Witnessing this scene felt like a miracle.

Her cold, clear eyes radiated an unshakable resolve. Since Zhan Qing’s entry into this circle, she had always worked as an agent. Suddenly being asked to switch careers unsettled her.

As soon as Xi Yunxiu uttered those words, Chen Xuan, panting heavily, rushed before him. Before anyone could react, Chen Xuan’s delighted voice echoed through the air.

Chu Yan had thought Wang Ruolan had finally gotten serious, moved by emotion, but she was just the same as ever.

“Yu Zimo is truly wasting talent. Such a great shop, and he only uses it to sell sundries? Does he not realize any business he runs would earn more than this?” Bai Zhi couldn’t fathom what was on that guy’s mind.

“Our family’s money must be saved. I want my brother to go to university! And my sister, and me—we all want to go!” Her declaration stunned even her elder sister; only her brother was moved to tears.

Recalling those days, the old director wept uncontrollably, choking on her words, clearly distressed.

Ding Ning listened enviously but knew Su Xiao’s life was fraught with hardship. The sole difference was a good mother who shielded her, raised her into adulthood, and provided such a nurturing environment that Su Xiao retained her innocence.

“I thought you were going to show me where you worked so hard. I heard you didn’t sleep for seven days during your junior year exams?”

He thought the news was absurd. The Liang and Mo families belonged to the Southwest Military Region—the official faction.

According to Lu Yun, some long-vanished oldsters had gradually revealed themselves, all converging toward Crow Ridge.

Because Xu Qin also feigned her true feelings to satisfy Lin Huaien’s vanity.

A faint scent of roses wafted to her nose, lingering and deepening, penetrating her heart, rich and unfading.

Chu Qingyi was both a friend and kin to her, a youth she had witnessed rise to the divine altar step by step.

Curiosity is said to kill the cat; Meng Wei finally understood this—but for some reason, her heart was more restless than a cat’s scratch.

“That makes sense. After all, the Yawei system was developed here, unrelated to Meixiao’s origins. It certainly wouldn’t rely on their technology.”

The Wentiang realm was divided into five major stages: Flying Cloud, Divine Sovereign, Taiyuan, Kun Sovereign, and Chengyun.

Yu Yi was stunned, a sharp pang of sorrow and fear surging through his limbs. His earlier bravado had only been a mask to protect himself.

Red lightning crackled atop the Gray-Blue Wrath, locking Lin Huaien’s body. Amid electric paralysis and pain, Lin Huaien felt himself merging with the Gray-Blue Wrath as one.
