Chapter 53 Inquiring About Injuries

"Did you not hear what I said? Elder Zhao truly seems to be advancing in age, and his ears are not as sharp as they used to be." Xu Lin spoke with a composed and brisk demeanor, showing not the slightest bit of politeness.

"Does this mean... we are walking right into the lion's mouth?" I pondered. This seemed like an irreconcilable paradox.

Watching Wu Ling'er's expression, Da Honghong shook her head helplessly. Although she knew the poison had been neutralized, continuing to eat such things would surely feel awkward to anyone else. Yet Wu Ling'er was eating with such delight—was her nervous system simply too thick, or was she entirely missing that particular nerve?

When they bought the house, they chose the largest one available. He refused to believe that the NPCs would hide properties and treat them differently.

The Ruan family had originally been neutral. To avoid offending anyone, the Ruan family spared no effort in maneuvering and balancing relationships. In recent years, as the Fourth Prince Li Huan began to show his brilliance, the Ruan family had once intended to establish ties with him. Unexpectedly, Li Zheng ascended the throne of the grand unification in one stroke, rendering many of their kindred aspirations completely useless.

As Mua Sha spoke, she looked around uneasily. Dongfang Ming glanced in the direction she was looking, but indeed saw nothing. Presumably, Mua Sha was simply being overly nervous.

"They retreated at the very first moment, leaving the 'Mountain' that we worked so hard to integrate for Liu Ruixiang to pick up for free. Also, the Guan family performed quite well this time; at least they haven't left yet," said Huang Yumizi.

So Wen Ke was enduring this kind of pain right now as well? And the root cause of all this suffering was entirely of her father's making?

Yet Han Yuwei, since the person you liked from the very beginning was Luo Yunyang, why did you toy with his heart time and time again? Why give him hope, only to ruthlessly kick him down into hell just as he was experiencing happiness?

Adesha kept these words in mind, which was why she took the risk of dealing with the Princess Consort. Last night, before even returning to Dancheng, she faced a rapid-fire series of questioning from various commandery governors, aside from the Princess Consort herself.

Meanwhile, inside the East Palace, Dongfang Li woke up hungry at midnight. Reaching out to touch her stomach, her hand instead brushed against another hand resting squarely around her waist.

As the instigators of this battle, the tribal chief gave an order, and more than one hundred indigenous warriors from the Amazon rainforest immediately launched a frantic assault on the apartment building in Suwangzhai Village.

Just as the two were conversing, a sudden crackling commotion erupted outside, nearly scaring Jacques to the point of collapsing to the ground.

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, Barry suddenly felt a malevolent gaze fixed on his back. Turning around, he discovered it was none other than Andy walking toward him with several of his subordinates.

As negative emotions arose among the villagers, Su Yi noticed that the favorability points he had previously accumulated were actually plummeting continuously.

Seeing Ning Yi's expression and knowing what was on his mind, Su Qingqing wrapped her arms around Ning Yi's neck, gently leaned her cheek against his chest, and closed her eyes to savor the moment.

"What kind of attitude is that?" Yu Li slapped a handful of foam onto her, leaving behind a patch of dripping wet watermarks.

And his heavily furrowed, aged face also grew delicate and tender once more, resembling that of a young man in his twenties.

After the meal, Yan Yunxi asked Helan Yue's name and drifted away, not forgetting to instruct her younger brother before leaving to make sure he taught him diligently.

"Hmph! A mere wolf demon with five hundred years of cultivation dares to be so arrogant!" He Yan muttered indignantly as he looked at the image in the mirror. Yang Xuan and Bing Jing had already begun gathering their true Qi, preparing to strike at any moment, because the wolf demon before them was not something Mizhu and Tianxuanzi could handle on their own.

"Hmph!" Mizhu did not even deign to look at this primordial spirit. With only his primordial spirit remaining, Dongfang Xiaoxiao's strength was severely diminished and he could no longer harm them. Even if she risked damaging her own cultivation to kill the two of them, her primordial spirit would likely become weak, leaving her vulnerable to opportunists who might prey upon her.

However, as a centuries-old influential clan, Xie Kuang should not be a fool. Such glory and wealth were ephemeral; he couldn't be bought off so easily.

At this moment, Bolong also produced a rope, tied it securely to the iron bars of the window, and let it hang down. The three of them glanced down; the height was not too great, only about a dozen meters. However, falling from a height of a dozen meters would result in either death or severe disability, so a certain amount of risk was involved.

Knowing that the Young Master had recognized him, Guibao still maintained an air of complete composure, showing not a shred of fear. After all, if he could escape from the Young Master twice, he could escape a third time, or even countless more times.

"The Heavenly Honored One is mistaken. You must remember that all living things in this world are equal, so how can there be a distinction between East and West! Had it not been for the aid of the Confucian lineage this time, Guanyin would surely have attained the status of a Quasi-Sage," Zhunti Daoist declared, his words accompanied by the falling of lotus blossoms.

According to the records in the Myriad Demon Tome, although the interior of the earthly stone was a different space, one could drive a sharp magic weapon to instantly break through the spatial boundaries with sheer speed, thereby exiting without damage. After reading through it cross-legged, Tianxuanzi rested his chin in his hand and pondered for a moment. There were numerous profound techniques in the Mount Shu Swordplay; surely one could find a high-speed sword technique among them.

Then... there was nothing more. The king conferred titles upon five knights, felt thoroughly exhausted, and swaggered back to the palace with his attendants. The queen did the same. Only the Prime Minister Langley turned back as he was leaving and smiled meaningfully at Yang Yi. Yang Yi wore a bitter expression, lowered his head, and pretended not to see it.

Any shadow clone could accomplish such a task, but figuring out how to balance the cost-effectiveness was rather headachesome.

This was truly infuriating. Next time, they must guard against this trick. Seeing Zhi Mu turn into black ash, Zhi Tong recalled their past shared experiences, and two lines of clear tears involuntarily streamed down his face.

Furthermore, given its bloodline, it was impossible for it not to have meticulously practiced demon clan cultivation techniques. Combined with its techniques and physical body, the lethality can well be imagined.

"Shin Potano, I am very sorry, but our contract must be terminated." Matsuhashi Daiben's office was thoroughly messy. He wore a dispirited expression, and his voice was feeble as he spoke.

Meanwhile, Liu Qing and the bodyguards beside him looked on with complete coldness. They had witnessed such scenes countless times before; it was entirely incapable of causing the slightest ripple in their psychological state.

"Hehe, Brother Luo, I am fine!" Divine Maiden smiled mournfully, her gaze suddenly becoming unfocused as her aura rapidly declined.

Huang Shaohua was slightly startled, and looked at Long Yuqing in bewilderment as he asked, "Could it be that you don't know how to use these things?" He saw Long Yuqing gently nod her head in bashful shyness, as if not knowing how to use these items was a terribly foolish thing, especially in front of Huang Shaohua—it felt like an utterly mortifying matter.

Hot blood churned within Yue Zhiyang's chest, and he was just about to step forward when Ye Lingsu reached out a hand and stopped him once again.
