131 Succubus (39)

Arthur covered his mouth and coughed a few times. Under Suha’s relentless questioning, he gritted his teeth and refused to admit anything.

I am already the most wanted malevolent spirit throughout the entire underworld; why would I add another accusation to break a couple apart?

Although when he left with Xiao Taren, Arthur vaguely sensed there was more to Xiao Taren’s words, but no matter how he looked at it, the Liao Kingdom was no longer what it once was. And was Wang Jing still the same Wang Jing as before?

Zhao Ling’er’s previously good mood gradually faded away. How dare this Wang Jing skip class?

To improve the professional knowledge of healers, the best approach was to establish a school! Found a medical college similar to those of later eras, recruit highly skilled doctors as teachers, and enroll students to pass on medical knowledge.

Yushura let out a muffled grunt and bit down hard on his lips, trying to stifle a scream.

Unexpectedly, Miao Cheng’an, eyes brimming with tears and voice choked, took a few steps forward and suddenly knelt on one knee before Gong Lingrui with a thud.

It was already well-known that the Fourth Prince forced the chief imperial physician of the palace’s medical office, who had framed the Empress, to death at the tender age of seven. Though he worked under him, he had never collaborated with him. Today, upon seeing him, he finally opened his eyes to the truth.

There were many kinds of spices, and they were expensive, often requiring sea voyages to trade. So it was no surprise that Xu Lu knew about these.

Almost every knight harbored ambitions of ascending to legendary status, defeating all contemporaneous rivals to claim the supreme title of “Sword Saint.”

After hearing his words, Nangong Yunyao was stunned, suddenly remembering that Yuli was still inside the stone path meditating. She then walked to the palace entrance and glanced that way.

“Don’t worry, just go for it! If he can’t sit still, he’ll come to me naturally, and then I’ll deal with him properly!” Zheng Chenheng waved his hand without any pressure. He trusted his own strength and Chen Jun’s methods.

Calculating this way, how much spiritual energy could the space she mentioned contain to withstand such consumption?! Unless the spiritual energy was inexhaustible.

“What do you mean?!” Huang Gang’s face darkened considerably, his anger complete and utter.

Jiang Xiao had planned to escape to the Demon Realm first and return quietly after Hongjun left to take Nezha away. Unexpectedly, Nezha saw him being attacked by the Dao Ancestor. Devoted to her husband, Nezha burned her cultivation to block the Divine Light of the Jade Butterfly of Fate.

After a short while, three to four hundred young and strong men gathered at the government office, all from Bocheng County, considered trustworthy by the officials at least.

After a pause, he added, “The more you sweat while attending the Empress, the more it shows you’re putting effort into your duties. If you go looking neat and clean, washed white and tender, it would seem insincere!” Saying so, he smiled faintly.

Jiang Chenggang’s words were like those of a cunning old fox; from start to finish, he spoke convincingly but conveyed no valuable information.

After Elder Jin finished speaking, he opened the courtyard door and left. Jiang Xiao pretended to wander aimlessly around the yard, soon arriving at the garden behind the main courtyard.

As soon as the words fell, Xiulin Yang’s finger struck mercilessly, hitting As’s forehead with a crisp sound.

The one who called out to Xie Fangqing was a martial arts instructor, exuding a strong, robust aura. Tall and powerful, his martial spirit radiated intensely. He beckoned to Xie Fangqing with a strong, formidable presence.

Gu Yulan also wanted to know about Gu Huawei’s whereabouts; after all, it had been a month and a half since his departure with no news. Hence, she didn’t expose Bai Xiucai on the spot.

Ning Shu’s phoenix eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly. After nodding, she grabbed her brother-in-law by the collar and entered the house.

Behind them came a chill wind. Xie Fangqing glanced back again. She would remember for life that terrifying bull’s head, blood-red, malevolent eyes, pitch-black and hideous face, long horns—on the black official’s uniform, the two large characters “Underworld” were emblazoned.

“But that day in the main hall, the Emperor personally admitted it wasn’t Mu Hua. So why...” Shi Lingyan frowned deeply. She knew how dangerous rumors could be. The Emperor was already suspicious, and now with gossip, it was like adding fuel to the fire.

“Uh…” Gu Yuqiao perked up upon hearing this. They had stayed out too late last night on the starry grasslands and were still tired now, almost forgetting about this matter.

Back home, the old village chief and grandpa were chatting and laughing while drinking tea. Mom and dad were also there keeping company.

As immediately stepped back two paces, then looked again. The man was burly and strong, and claimed to be a general himself.

“This time, I won’t go back with you. I want to leave Longzhou Prefecture and see the outside world,” Lu Yan said suddenly just as Lu Yi was about to call him back.

Instantly, this news exploded like a bomb inside the hearts of Tang Xuerou, Tang Zhentian, and the leaders of the major sects.

The group left the main road and entered the vast land beside the path. This land had originally been cultivated fields, but due to drought, it had long since become barren. Coupled with earthquakes and most humans turning into zombies, it had become empty wasteland.

Faced with such an overwhelming number, only fools and egotists would charge headlong into battle. It was clear that Yan Ming, who chose to retreat, was not that sort of person.

Though this place was their second homeland, they hadn’t come back in ten years. After drinking so much earlier, Qingfeng really feared they might get into trouble.

One day later, Zhang Siran arrived at the underground laboratory used by the military for research. As soon as he entered, he heard chilling screams. Upon arrival, all staff stood at attention and gave a standard military salute.

At night, the two huddled inside a tent to discuss briefly when rustling footsteps came from outside. Xuan Ning’s alertness heightened; her brows furrowed as she rushed out. Chen Ao’s heart tightened with her every move.

“As long as our troops remain here, zombies won’t run rampant,” the commander’s words were firm and forceful, convincing many to silently turn away and seek so-called safe places.

Before the impossible word could be uttered, they were wiped from this world. Their bodies exploded in four directions, scattering treasures everywhere.
