Chapter Seventy-Seven: Utterly Disgusted
Yuan Xiangdie paid no mind at all, seemingly unaware of what she was saying.
“I don’t pay attention to just anyone. In this matter, I must find a way to cut off his escape. So many men have hovered around them over the years—it proves this mother and daughter aren’t fools. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have…”
Her words grew more despondent, and the more she spoke, the heavier her heart became. Fortunately, someone beside her caught on in time.
These words of affection were spoken as if without rehearsal, each sentence springing forth without effort.
“In the future, you could try relying on me.” Jin Yuan originally believed the words would sound impressive when spoken, but Yuan…
Qingyan felt his mind suddenly become clear and empty, then heard a series of thunderous crashes. The sounds seemed to come from within, yet also from beside him. With each clap of thunder, the power contained within the Big Dipper poured ceaselessly into Qingyan’s body, cleansing him.
Director Long was famed for this very skill in Bureau Ten, earning a reputation for winning with words rather than force. Of course, everyone in Bureau Ten knew that his greatest pride was not his extraordinary ability, but his swordsmanship.
The Fragrant Mist was originally a treasure to assist cultivation, especially useful for focusing the mind and entering a meditative state, helping practitioners concentrate and dispel inner demons. But like sleeping pills, a single dose aids sleep; half a bottle means certain death.
“What am I doing? Just watch quietly, would I ever harm you?” Qingluan was dissatisfied with Liuxin’s reaction and responded helplessly.
The young man leading the Snake Tribe, seeing Liuxin and his companion resisting the soul pressure, clapped his hands lightly. “No wonder you’re the rookie king, you really have some skill.” With his keen eye, he saw clearly—if not for the blood aura around Liuxin, they would have already fallen.
“Damn humans, what on earth is this thing!” Mokxis roared furiously, losing his usual composure, darting about in a panic and looking utterly disheveled.
“Heaven’s arms descend—this is fate aiding the general! Charge into Lu County, capture Xu Rong alive!” The commander of the Jizhou army saw the celestial phenomenon above and shouted, leading his troops in a fierce assault.
Blood Seven’s expression changed instantly as he understood—the snow mountain soared two thousand zhang high, and its heavy snow could crush even a powerful Earth Martial Eighth Layer like him in an instant.
When he regained consciousness, Li Feng was already gone. He could only swing his blade in vain at the rocks, venting his anger on lifeless stones.
The guild’s demand for powerful gear was rising, so Li Feng had stopped selling high-end equipment to outsiders. Only a few trusted figures received rare trades.
He hadn’t even had a chance to sit down before noticing someone approaching Ye Feng with murderous intent. He hurriedly brought Nangong Qian to assist.
If one could distinguish between illusion and reality, or truly understand it, the formation could be broken. Now, I think I finally understand.
Rock, Caesar, Vampire, Goblin, Golem, Will Crystal, and Doris appeared here, while three targets slowly emerged ahead.
Seeing this person’s attire, Ye Feng felt a sense of familiarity. Upon closer inspection of the emblem on the chest, he paused in surprise.
“Then tell me, why are you crying?” Bai Shenting was puzzled but worried Bai Yi was comforting him with her words.
“Hey, big sis, can I ask you—what’s your favorite thing?” Amy and Cora began asking Ladytia childish questions as they walked ahead.
Lin Wei was utterly absorbed, as if someone long chilled suddenly felt the warmth of sunlight—immeasurably comfortable and at peace.
The diagram for the Eight Ox Crossbow was quite simple—or at least, that was the case for Chu He, a college student.
Who knows, will this death be final, or like last time, will my soul survive and enter another world—or perhaps be reborn on Earth?
At this moment, they were strolling across the clean lawn, glancing around. Their purpose was to properly admire the architecture of Crescent City, which they had never been able to see since its completion.
