32 A Night Permeated with Bitterness

The moment Shuyun caught it, the warmth in her hand made her realize that Long Tianxing had thrown her a pair of phoenixes, and she was startled as well.

Knowing that Liu Chen still had a mountain of matters to deal with, Chen Lei and Sun Ji did not linger. They merely asked Liu Chen to find them something to do as soon as possible. They could hardly start lazing around and living off everyone else the moment they joined.

Within the Imperial Palace, every duty was clearly defined. The Elegant Ravine was where the palace ladies came to play the qin when they wanted to pass the time. When the heir’s consort had just asked whether there was anywhere here to relieve her boredom, he had thought of this place.

“As the saying goes, those who follow different paths cannot make plans together. Stop the carriage, Uncle. I’ll get off here!” Zhong Laichun’s voice suddenly turned cold as well.

As for signing a blood pact or anything of the sort, apart from Lin Weixin, no one else—including Ye Nanshan—had any problem with it.

Wu Mian was not merely being polite. When he had met Liu Lang earlier, he had also wanted to ask for the other man’s autograph. But as a prospective martial artist, he had been too proud to lower himself, and in the end had not dared to ask. Yet now, the other man was actually asking for his autograph!?

The beast tower, towering dozens of yards into the sky, developed cracks visible to the naked eye before collapsing with a thunderous crash amid a barrage of violet lightning.

“Don’t worry. I’ll persuade Mom and Dad—not only for your sake, but for theirs as well.” Certainty flickered in Hou Jinsong’s eyes.

“Yet beneath the Son of Heaven’s feet, someone still dares to assassinate the heir of a royal household. Big brother, it seems there are quite a few people who want you dead.” Prince Wu Commandery laughed heartily, yet his words carried an obscure, unfathomable undertone.

Since Liu Chen had not escaped, that meant he could only have left with Wei Renxiong’s permission.

If I had not known he was still alive, he would have looked almost exactly like a paper figure. One gust of wind and it might have blown him away.

Jian Yiyun was awakened by the deliberately muffled knocking outside. Staring at the man who held her in his arms, she cursed him silently.

He Huan-shan stared wide-eyed at the three of us. She knew nothing about our cultivation, and my senior brother had told her that my trip to the secret realm had been for something else. Now that the three of us were discussing cultivation, she found it almost unbelievable.

I rushed back to the bedroom and immediately called Wenwen, but her reaction was completely beyond my expectations.

Yet at that moment, what Xiao Chen saw at the army’s central command was two suns. The newly appeared one was even more intense than the sun over the Summer Sect.

Jian Yiyun was somewhat slow to react. She stared at the man before her in disbelief. His overwhelming fury seemed just as fierce as it had been the day before, yet in the blink of an eye, he had changed into an entirely different person.

He had no intention of hiding it at all, and had casually taken the surname Gu. He had not even bothered to come up with a more distinctive alias.

He exerted force with his arm, and I felt my body tilt before I fell directly against him. A lingering trace of tobacco immediately reached the tip of my nose.

I noticed the sweat on his forehead and instinctively walked over to wipe it away for him. When I turned and saw Grandma watching me, I shuddered and hurriedly withdrew my hand.

I had thought about it for a long time, yet could never remember why I knew every detail about this necklace so clearly. I could never recall who had given it to me, or when. It was like the Monkey King leaping out of a crack in a stone, appearing out of nowhere in my memories.

“I’ll tear you apart.” Yang Tian fixed his gaze on the enormous red python before him. His boundless battle intent pressed down upon it, and under the weight of that overwhelming presence, a trace of panic appeared in the red python’s eyes.

He had never realized that even his protection could not fill the loneliness in Ya’er’s heart.

“No making excuses, no being late, and attendance is mandatory.” Yichen’s attitude was unyielding.

“I’ll let you off today. Tomorrow, I’ll settle the score with you!” Dongfang Ding glared at the other man, his eyes filled with contempt.

Li Yao’s call came rather late. When Li Bai had spoken with President Li that day, he had promised to have someone prepare the contract by the following day. But two days had passed without any news, and Li Bai began to have a bad feeling.

After thinking it over, Ye Qian was forced to admit in astonishment that Li Bai seemed to be a man capable of doing everything.

Moreover, there had originally been as many as 3,582 people in the Heavenly Human Palace. In theory, as its rules changed, the number of geniuses within it should have continued to increase.

Wang Lingfei sat bound on the ground. When she saw this, she angrily tried to rise, but the people on either side forcibly pressed her back down.

If all the plants on a planet exchanged information with one another, that would mean the plants were thinking. More precisely, it would not mean that every individual plant was thinking, but that the collective formed by all the plants on the planet was thinking. In other words, the planet’s entire botanical sphere was an intelligent life-form.

In a secluded place, He Chang sat on the ground with his arms wrapped around his knees. Looking thoughtful, he said, “So that’s how it is. Your name is Li Shang, isn’t it?”

Xu Lueran praised him inwardly. Her eyes shining, she looked into Xie Xiuyun’s eyes and waited for his response.

“Princess, that is why you must join with Ye Cheng and make him your husband. Only then will Ye Cheng wholeheartedly assist you in becoming the emperor of the demon race!” Li Changqing said excitedly.

In an instant, cheers of support rang out without pause. One expert after another, bringing their subordinates, appeared here as if heavenly soldiers had descended to earth.

If she had not found an errand girl willing to personally buy underwear for her, she probably would not have dared leave the house. But she did not dare buy too many things either. There were only so many places in the house where she could hide things, and she had already devoted every one of them to snacks.

He could not help but grow suspicious of the man’s identity. However, when the other party did not offer an explanation, he naturally would not press too deeply.

The white cat sat primly, its mismatched blue-and-yellow eyes fixed intently on Shen Jichuan as he filmed the scene.
