Chapter 86: There Is Truly Nothing Between Him and Me

Gu Shenshen instinctively lifted a hand to block the chest that was trying to press against her, doing her best to keep some distance between them.

“Fu Lin, I’ve had something to drink tonight. Don’t take advantage of me.”

“Have you really stopped liking me at all?” Fu Lin lowered his gaze and asked her in a hushed voice.

Gu Shenshen felt an indescribable heaviness in her chest.

...

“Yes, General. Apart from saying that he had something important to tell you and that he absolutely had to see you, he said nothing else,” the major replied. Lu Feng’s shifting tone only made him harder to read.

In the end, after a mountain of words and far too much saliva wasted, Zhu Yijun finally gave up in resignation. It was expected that this matter would not come to pass; after all, he had already achieved his goal. Whether the imperial decree was withdrawn a day earlier or later no longer mattered. He would simply take it as granting the old man some face.

Wang Yi’s knife had been lowered, but his arm was still around Murong Xue. He had merely let go of her hand.

No resistance was of any use before Jiang Rangkong. All city defenses were destroyed. What terrifying power this was—power capable of destroying heaven and earth. Such power was the karmic retribution for the sea tribe’s sins, and it was also the harbinger of that race’s doom.

Unfortunately, Feng Qingyu did not know this. He did not know, and Lin Yutian, consumed by rage, knew it even less. He did not want to know. For him, it was enough to know that Zanghua would not interfere in this matter.

When Li Shimin said this, he glanced at Wang Yi, who stood with his head bowed at the rear of the court officials’ ranks.

He merely reached out, yet instead of touching the cold phone, his hand met something smooth and soft. Chen Chufan unconsciously squeezed it, and the elastic feel was simply wonderful. Not only was the touch exquisite, but even the delicate cry she let out after he pinched it was so soft and alluring. When had his phone acquired such a feature?

Princess Changle’s face turned deathly pale. She stepped back two paces from Wang Yi, her voice trembling.

“Is it true? She is carrying my cousin’s child? Is that why Father is furious? You actually did such a thing in secret...” Big tears spilled down her cheeks.

Suddenly, Leona’s shout rang out, instantly rousing Robin from his dazed state as he forced himself to take in the present situation.

But this also brought trouble: without obtaining a new divine bone, cultivators could not leap across ranks.

Above the moon, after undergoing yet another transformation, the old demon king of the Chen clan had indeed broken through completely beyond the peak state of those years, becoming a monstrously powerful peerless expert.

He merely flicked it once, then tucked the folding fan behind his back, and before everyone from the city lord’s manor, continued strolling ahead with leisurely composure.

From far away, one could already see a villa standing beside the village road. Its style was neither fully European nor fully Chinese, giving off a strangely discordant impression. Nevertheless, it was undoubtedly the most luxurious building in the entire Unity Village. And without question, Village Head Wang Jianjun was the richest man in all of Unity Village.

I nodded to show I understood. How could I not? In any case, I had to make a real show of it today. I only hoped my cousin would not drag me into trouble. Still, from the way he spoke, there didn’t seem to be much of a problem.

Tianya could only roll her eyes helplessly, though inside she was secretly sweetened by that single word, “madam.”

Although she knew perfectly well that the person he wanted to see was not her, so long as she could see him, she was content.

At last, the fight was about to begin. And among all of them, the ones most eager to see the two factions clash were the merchants in the city. Lately, because of the chaos, their business had been badly affected.

In the original story, the three divine birds did go berserk as well, but they attacked indiscriminately. This time, there was no doubt that the three divine birds had turned their blades toward Lugia and were launching a joint assault on it.
