Volume 1, Chapter 152: What is that Bai Zhiyao anyway?

Closing the door, Su Li leaned back against it. Even though she should have long since grown used to the absence of familial warmth after all these years, hearing what Su Weian had actually said to her when he sought her out still made her nose sting.

Su Weian had never once asked her how she was doing, and unless he needed something, he would never come looking for her.

As the old saying goes: once you have a stepmother, you get a stepfather.

That saying was absolute truth.

"If you expect me to deliver them to you, it'll have to wait until I finish packing up my stall. I just don't know if you people can wait until then."

Baida was currently in a state of invisibility, as the effect of the Invisibility Talisman had not yet worn off. This happened to make it very convenient for him to wander around freely.

Emperor Roland chuckled lightly and said, "Lord Grand Duke! Would you like me to... ahem!" Emperor Roland stopped himself, though he knew Grand Duke Yue Guanshan understood his meaning.

"Oh! Ahem... Could it be that having been sealed by the Dragon God for nearly a thousand years has made my eyes bad? How could a low-class old hag possibly wield the power of the Underworld?" the Dragon Spirit said with a somewhat embarrassed tone.

The sky was already quite dark, and the streetlights on both sides of the road had automatically switched on. Although there were many of them, their illumination was rather lackluster.

Upon reaching the thick layer of clouds, the illusory shadow grabbed the clouds floating between heaven and earth and gave a fierce tear. The clouds were directly split into two halves, revealing an opening through which the appearance of the peak could be vaguely discerned.

"Why is it that people only learn to appreciate things after they have lost them? Perhaps this is simply how fate works!" Xianling sighed to himself. He was now deeply regretting why, driven by his own prejudices, he had failed to even catch a last glimpse of his father.

"Hmm?" Having finally managed to escort the plague god Shi Qing out and wanting to run back, he was suddenly called out by Shi Qing, startling him so much that his body trembled.

The Crimson Blood Mad Lion was about two meters long and one meter high. Its entire body was covered in long, bright red fur that looked just like fresh blood, and a pair of eerie, ghostly blue eyes radiated a strange aura that involuntarily made one's hair stand on end.

When Pavel had retreated earlier, Nuluo had also checked whether the holy beast within the pillar of light was still alive, but everything inside had been dead silent, leading Nuluo and his companion to assume the holy beast had long since perished. Never had they expected that at this very moment, a trace of faint life energy would slowly rise from within the pillar of light.

Fortunately, Luan Fei had guessed right. As soon as this shouting echoed out, a good majority of the thugs were stunned and naturally reined in their steps.

"Yay!" She waved her arms and shouted happily. Huo Yixin looked at her and smiled faintly as well.

Xu Yaoning shoved the wooden pillow into Lin Jiazhou's arms and said, "It's nothing, get some good sleep!" With that, she got up and strode off in a flurry of activity.

In everyone else's eyes, she was the one who had shamelessly attempted to climb social ladders by pursuing Seventh Young Master Wei, while Wei Seventh had merely pulled her aside to ask a few questions about Lin Shisheng.

However, precisely because he knew that Lu Chuan had once been the vulnerable party in the past, he was all the more worried that Lu Chuan would harbor a desire for revenge and ultimately resort to silencing him permanently.

"Have you ever considered why Madam Qu was willing to give up all those things just to see Qu Jin for a single moment—what was her true motive?" Xie Luanyin retorted with a question.

This rare treasure was extremely famous back in the ancient era. Named the Cloud-Piercing Awl, it was not only useful for breaking through barriers, but most importantly, it also possessed the ability to fracture space. Of course, tearing space apart did not succeed every single time, and there was no telling where the destination of the teleportation might be.

Instead of walking toward his own home, he ambled over to Village Chief Niu Kelian's doorstep, tilting his head with a roguish expression as he knocked lazily on the door, all while continuing to wag a piece of dry straw in his mouth.

Upon seeing this scoundrel of a crow appear, the Silver Wolf King instantly blazed with fury, picking up broken fragments of stone from the ground one by one and hurling them into the air.

At that moment, a rush of fierce wind struck from behind. Ling Feng shifted his body slightly, reached out, and with absolute precision, grabbed hold of that driving force.
