Chapter 59

A cold smile curved the corners of my mouth. Yes, exactly like this—getting a combat asset for free, and after he’s served his purpose, he and his younger brother can be offered together as "sacrifices" to Nirvana first.

With a sharp rip, the piercing tungsten steel sword carved a faint slit across the arm, though it was merely a shallow scratch, from which pale green liquid began to ooze along the cut.

While I was narrating this, everyone shifted their gaze toward the moving Nirvana, whose six long legs crawled forward, making the entire Wasi Sea of Trees look like its personal back garden.

At that very moment, however, a flash of black light suddenly emanated from Li Qing. It was this tiny change that caused the God of Devouring, who was on the verge of vanishing from sight, to instantly teleport right in front of Li Qing, startling him with the abrupt turn of events.

"Tap, tap, tap!" A series of footsteps echoed from behind. With his back facing them, Li Qing wore a gentle smile of relief.

Huang Ergou was about the same age as Xiao Feng and had already been a soldier for six years. Although he held the honorable title of "squad leader," everyone in the dormitory knew very well that Xiao Feng was the true boss.

In the vast depths of the sea, a magnificent and awe-inspiring ancient palace stood to the east of the Dragon Palace. Viewed from afar, it radiated auspicious light and an imposing, regal aura.

The two young men riding on ancient zheng beasts received their orders, each drawing a yellow talisman from his hands and flicking it toward Elder Ghost Tomb. The two talismans instantly transformed into streams of yellow Qi that sank into the ground, followed by the churning earth, as if something was charging forward underground.

"Enough, enough." The God of Devouring stood up and waved his hand gently, his figure quickly retreating amidst drifting movements. Li Qing opened his mouth as if to say something, but once his lips parted, he found himself at a loss for words.

The grievances and sorrow that had accumulated for so long finally overwhelmed Yoshino at that moment upon hearing Yin's words, and she burst into tears.

Opening the door and stepping inside, after changing my shoes, I caught sight of the wedding photo hanging on the living room wall and stared at it blankly for a few moments.

"Oh, nice reaction." When Han You saw the opponent's positioning, a knowing smile flashed across his face, even though his hands had already executed the maneuver just prior to that.

In an instant, all the romantic and ambiguous atmosphere in the room drifted away with the wind. Stunned on the spot, she propped her body up and looked down at him from above, her eyes unable to conceal a deep sense of shock.

I was immersed in happiness and sweetness, a wide smile plastered across my face as the blood in my veins surged with excitement. I could only think how wonderful it was to have him in this lifetime.

Whenever Ares entered this place, a mere thought would instantly "transport" him to the destination he desired—the plaza where the coffins of the Forbidden Arts Heavenly Songs were placed.

These individuals held an "equal rank" in relation to Ares, and only Black Tail was a "vassal" who had sworn "allegiance" to him.

I stared blankly at Lu Xudong's figure in the kitchen, wishing how wonderful it would be if he weren't gay, so that at least tackling and pinning him down would be a little easier.

The noon after receiving Guo Yuqing's call, Ye Shengyin invited me out to go shopping. She had originally planned to go on a trip during the National Day holiday, but apparently, she was stood up, so she ended up staying home every day to keep her grandmother company. Later, she suddenly remembered me, an unemployed vagrant, and thus issued the invitation.

"What do you mean by 'not working many more days'? Even if I have to take maternity leave, that won't be until next year, okay?" I gritted my teeth, angry that he wasn't happy for me, but seeing the crafty, mission-accomplished smile on his face, I felt as though something wasn't quite right.

If they have no money, they simply won't handle the matter—and so the problem snowballs, eventually forcing the imperial court to spend even more money—a never-ending cycle.

Fan Bailu was one of the few surviving councilors from the "previous dynasty"; was His Majesty planning to sweep them all away together? And what about Xie Lin? Was this an opportunity to make a move against the two Hebei circuits?

Ever since that time, a fierce war had broken out between the two countries, and even after the Third Mizukage took office, the Hidden Mist Village intensified its war against the Land of Earth.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished his speech, both of them stopped in their tracks, as if by tacit consent accepting Sarutobi Hiruzen's explanation.

In just this short while, the soul power within Tang San's body had already been half depleted. More importantly, due to the intense concentration of his mental energy during the battle, Tang San was experiencing a mild sense of dizziness.

This was a business secret, and Li Hao was that secret, so Wu Chengye naturally wouldn't say that it was Li Hao who identified the jade. Even for today's banquet, Wu Chengye had no intention of revealing this secret.

Su Shi was a chancellor in name only, while Vice-Chancellors Zhang Dun and Cai Bian held actual power, overseeing the Six Ministries and Seven Temples. This structural framework had basically stabilized.

Li Hao knew that this matter likely could not end peacefully, so he could only try his best to buy time. At the very least, he could not drag down the Profound Mist Peak right now; after all, Yi Xinghan was speaking up for him, and he could not let the disciples of the entire Profound Mist Peak be implicated because of him.

The chakra in Sengen Hiro's hands gradually dissipated, swept away from his arms by the white waves as it drifted backward.

Consequently, rumors ran rampant in the outside world about how Bai Ruolian was a femme fatale who incited internal strife among brothers, and how she exploited her close proximity to treat the Nangong family as her personal possession, changing husbands at will.

No matter how foolish Qi Simeng was, she knew she had encountered an expert. The moment she thought of Yun Jingyao's peculiar attire, she became even more convinced that this expert lived in seclusion from the world.

Lü Shangxin closed her eyes, trying to forcefully suppress the strange feeling currently stirring in her heart, but when she opened them, she met the seemingly casual yet underlyingly worried gaze of her mother, the Grand Duchess Dowager. Yes, the Lü family—or at least her mother—understood her best, knowing the sourness and bitterness harbored in her heart.

The soldiers were shoveling away the soil on the roof bit by bit. With every movement, the roof emitted a terrifying groan, as if it could collapse at any second.

With a flash in his eyes, Qin Ruixi suddenly moved, not only drawing the attention of the Turtle-Village people, but also causing the animatedly chatting onlookers to quiet down for a moment.

Having inexplicably been infected by the tune she was playing herself, when she put down the flute, she became somewhat self-pitying, sinking deep into her own emotions. The inner world that she had managed to protect quite well until now was completely unsealed, and with her head bowed down, she felt deeply miserable inside.

However, the fact that Boss Ke and the others were called over meant that Grandpa and Father had not forcefully turned him into a vampire, but instead respected his wishes and decided to detoxify him first.

"You'd better give up, My Lady! His Highness the Prince Xuan and the others are completely dead drunk right now. Besides, this place is far away from the front courtyard; no one will ever find us here," the maid said with a smile.
