Chapter 29: The End of the Month

Auguste pushed the door wide open. Just as he had expected, standing outside alongside Dirk were four other unfamiliar men.

Xie Yu then returned both letters from Prince Mu and the concubine contract of Prince Jing to the Crown Prince.

Faced with a stranger who could leak her information online at any moment, she naturally chose not to say too much.

"Pfft!" Ruixue could not help but laugh. She truly could not imagine the usually stern-faced Second Master Zhao with the character for "King" painted on his forehead. It must have been such a ridiculous sight to see him obediently walk up to Old Master Zhao, half-crouch, and wait for the old man to paint his forehead.

To be honest, after hearing Su Maichun say that Wang Daniu was not someone to be reckoned with, she had only been guarding against Maizi; she never expected Wang Daniu to be this formidable.

Wu Guihua nodded vigorously. "Shi'an, your consideration is thorough; this is for the best. I know this is difficult to bring up, so I will go to the Gu family myself."

If this continues, once their vitality wanes and their fortune declines over time, that is when the ghosts will come for their revenge.

Wang Lingyun walked into the Guo family courtyard. The courtyard was enclosed by high walls, making it impossible to see inside from the outside. Without wasting time, she took a ghost-summoning talisman from her bag, wrapped it around a lock of Guo Zhenglong's hair, and set it ablaze.

"Are you afraid?" Seeing that Mu Rongxian did not take the bait, Lin Haotian began to use reverse psychology.

"How about this? I'll give you another chance. Just call me 'husband' once, and I'll tell you." With a mischievous smile, Ye Di said quite shamelessly.

He did not continue wandering the market; these two jade slips were an immense harvest for today—more than enough.

"I know all of this. Please don't be angry. How about we discuss other things? Don't you want to ask me what I have been hiding from you?" A flash of pity crossed Chen Xue's eyes. She did not want to see Lu Yan like this; this version of him made her feel like a stranger, and she felt as if she could no longer reach his heart.

Although the Spirit Soul Mountain was brimming with spiritual energy, these vines should not have transformed into such a state. Even if they had gained sentience by absorbing spiritual energy, they would not be writhing their limbs aimlessly during the day. As they appeared now, they looked very much like a human under the influence of a potent toxin.

"That's right, just three years! Three years from now, the day the Demon Abyss tears the heavens apart will arrive." Kang Moyu laughed heartily.

Fei Dong looked utterly dejected, but considering Zhao Hu's irritating face, it was no surprise the audience did not like him.

Ji Ruohua felt her head swimming with a dull ache, as if she were recovering from a severe illness; she felt incredibly helpless.

Feng Jian had warned Mr. Fei to answer truthfully whatever she asked, so as not to reveal any flaws and invite unnecessary danger.

"Could it be that Bu Qianhuai also covets the position of Sect Master? What a joke! He is nothing more than a fellow who joined the sect a month ago..." Despite this thought, Tang Xin's hands gripped tighter. It was a reaction to the fear of a known strength.

Qi Zhen looked confused for a moment, eyeing her with suspicion, but she had already looked away, rising with a jar of wine in her arms.

Many people grew angry, realizing they had been played for fools and manipulated, causing a truly good person to suffer such injustice.

A wave of pain surged from his left leg where the skeleton's bone had pierced him, which Fan Ren found almost unbearable.

Now that they no longer respected the bond between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and had bullied their way to her doorstep, she could not be blamed for fighting back.

Damn it. Heh, what do I really know? A minor issue, and they go on with all this nonsense. Who told you it was a minor issue?

Emperor Longwu stared thoughtfully at Qin Huiniang. He recalled Cheng Feiqiong's words: Qin Huiniang originally had a chance to marry Yun Chi, but it was Li Jingyi who said something to the First Madam of the Qin family, leading the Qin family to decline the Empress's kind offer.

Moreover, even if there were a real disparity in strength, it shouldn't be like this—two Demon Saints being repelled over ten meters by a Martial Saint from their side before they could even get close.

In fact, the Tianshan Child Elder had already determined that what Ye Feng said was true. However, she still harbored resentment for how Ye Feng had bullied her earlier, and she pondered in her heart how she should interact with him once he discovered her true identity.

"You've met my father, but you've never met my mother, right?" Ye Kaicheng asked Xu Zuoyan, using a tone of certainty.

Ever since the incident with the Bone Demon, Fan Ren had remained guarded against any living person who appeared suddenly. Furthermore, he had not forgotten how the original owner of his body had died.

"Don't worry about him. He hasn't even finished the cigarettes you gave him before; he even sold some to trade for ordinary ones," Mother Lin, Zhou Suyi, said while peeling an orange and handing it to Li Zhi.

Upon arriving at the Tianming Hall, Jing Rong held Mu Xuefu tightly, refusing to let go. It was a rather boastful display, which struck Leng Xi as quite childish.

Tian Hua muttered to herself while touring Dongfang Mo's room: the white wallpaper had a faint golden hue, as if washed in warm sunlight. From the bright window, one could smell the faint, salty scent of the sea unique to Hainan. If one were to fall asleep in such an environment, one would surely have wonderful dreams.

Bian Shijie pursed his lips, pulled the massive revolver from his trench coat pocket, and aimed the barrel at Lei Xiaohu.
