Volume 1, Chapter 138: Peeking

The next morning.

Fu Yuting woke slowly, wrapped in a sense of warmth and security. Her consciousness had not yet fully returned; she first felt the firmness beneath her, unlike her own bed, and the weight of an arm draped across her waist.

Ma Qiansheng could no longer bear to listen. Seeing that Qin Liangyu seemed to have more to say, he swayed unsteadily and collapsed directly onto the ground.

Chu Mo buried his face in her shoulder. Through the open collar of her bathrobe, he could easily see the beauty beneath.

"Status! My father is a Libationer of the Imperial Academy! The Imperial Academy! I wouldn't even deign to be his primary wife!" Wei Ke'er roared with temper.

Clutching the final spirit crystal produced by the Jiangdao Alliance's spirit spring, Mo Li absorbed the pure essence of heaven and earth with all his might, cultivating while he healed his wounds.

Shangguan Feng sat quietly, watching Lin Fan roast the rabbit meat, and inexplicably thought of Chu Liyuan.

Wait... could it be that their cultivation was limited to the peak of the Qi Refining stage precisely because of this "cursed mark" that Long Baichuan spoke of?

"I only hope our child takes after me, and certainly not you," Duan Mo said softly.

The Empress frowned slightly at these words. What did the Emperor mean? Did he favor Princess Wuluya, or was he dissatisfied with her?

Lu Fei was startled, thinking, what on earth is this? Even if you can't win, there's no need to resort to self-harm, is there?

Xu Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Steadying herself, she raised her eyes with poise and met that dark, slightly cold gaze.

The Commander was much the same. Back then, Zhou Quan had taken the Commander through the marshes, "kidnapping" several crocodiles and bringing them to Wicked Dragon Island. Those crocodiles were now in the marshlands of the island. The Commander spent most of his time playing pranks on the beach, though every few days he would still slip into the deep woods to seek out the female crocodiles.

The Nine-Nether Spirit Candle Fruit was said to be an exotic fruit descended from the Spirit Realm. Its nature was intensely cold, capable of nourishing the second primordial spirit of Nascent Soul cultivators. It was even rumored to increase the chances of a cultivator successfully forming a Nascent Soul. It was a rare treasure in the world of immortality.

It was a massive city, flanked by mountain ranges of varying heights, but the towering city walls left the three of them certain of their location, and finally, their spirits eased.

In an instant, endless light enveloped the entirety of Xiuning Island, blinding everyone in that moment.

Watching his chubby son continue to pout in displeasure, Zhou Quan could only continue to explain.

Chen Mo demonstrated alone the scenes of creation and destruction gathered from twelve different basic abilities. It would be impossible for them to fully master these without millions of years. By leaving them behind and heading to the Thirty-Three Heavens, he intended to personally oversee the unification of the Wu, Yao, and Human clans, never giving Hong Jun and his ilk a chance.

Shui Tianlan raised an eyebrow. Many of the herbs here were unknown to her, as they were not needed for the pills she crafted.

Yet what puzzled Lin Feng most was why Liu Ruxi had been so hurried in promoting Chen Mengjie to the position of Vice President, without any warning, and even offending a group of veteran board members in the process. It was truly beyond his understanding.

When it was over, Xu Feng held her tightly, telling Yang Xue that she had given him her most precious possession, and he would love her for all his life.

The shot just now had proven the power of the firearm; Chen Bai did not want to be hit by it again.

They had to win a battle to turn the tide of public opinion, reclaim the title of the Imperial Army, and cast the Toyotomi clan as the rebels.

Shen Peng was completely broken. He thought, these police officers really have their ways. They don't talk to you, they don't criticize or educate you; they just let you have a heart-to-heart with the mosquitoes and let them do the educating. Later, Shen Peng found out that behind the room where he was held, there was a garbage dump—how could there not be mosquitoes?
