Volume One, Chapter 38: Getting in the Way of Someone’s New Romance

Originally, as a former disciple of Cang Hao Qian, Yuan Qingwei’s identity alone was enough to make the righteous factions displeased with this “demonic heretic” inheriting the legacy of a great power who had already been honored as Dao Sovereign by the sect.

Having thought it over, Ge Ri leapt gracefully, fully clothed, into the warm spring pool. Immersing himself entirely in the milky water, strands of black hair floated up from the creamy depths, resembling an ink painting embedded within white paper.

After Song Jingyi burned incense and prayed, Qingya, as was customary, revealed her arm and displayed the vivid chastity mark for the elders’ inspection. This tradition had been passed down for ages; if chastity was lost, at best one would be expelled from the sect, at worst beaten to death.

With the gauze, Neo’s pain eased somewhat, and now he realized he truly saw something—a procession of golden codes outlined the sentinel’s silhouette in the darkness.

Just as events reached a crucial moment, the trail suddenly broke off, causing the discussion among those present to stall once more.

After arriving home, despite Long Lie’s repeated assurances that he was “really fine,” he could not escape the family’s focused attention. In the end, after much deliberation, it was decided to move Long Lie’s seat at the academy to a secluded corner in the last row, so he could sleep immediately if he felt unwell.

Captain America, after testing six or seven types of spider venom, finally found one that would not be rejected by the super soldier serum as a toxin, but could instead attempt to merge with his genes.

Mountains both real and illusory appeared one after another; towering temples rose from the ground, and the sky was filled with myriad phantoms forming eighty-eight constellations. At the heart of the central mountain temple, the sacred fire blazed fiercely, slowly revolving as the core.

Each psychological evaluation question was custom-made in advance and asked directly when needed. Only when a respondent’s answer deviated significantly would the question be modified appropriately.

So you summoned me here with such mystery and fanfare just to show me this lawnmower?

Ordinary people and those of lesser cultivation could not discern what was within the seven-colored radiance. Could it be Chairman Zhang’s son? Or the envoy escorting a token?

The youth spoke to the empty grand hall, not expecting any imagined deity within to answer, but simply voicing his doubts after careful observation, expressing worry. Of course, he had many wild speculations, which he dared not voice immediately, yet unexpectedly, the hall responded.

In the sky, Li Tan and the third Golden Crow exchanged blows energetically, managing to prevent the opponent from unleashing consecutive fiery attacks. Finally, Li Tan summoned a gourd and struck the Golden Crow with the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, forcing it to flap its wings and retreat.

Hua Hong, upon receiving news at the Commander's residence, was utterly shocked and, without hesitation, hurried off with the residence guards and left and right tooth armies straight to the central military camp.

Pei Wufu gently stroked Pei Donglai’s head, speaking softly; those clouded eyes shone with piercing brightness.

He should now have become a so-called cultivator—could cultivators really release such powerful things? Lin Qiuya was surprised but also somewhat admiring of the cultivator’s abilities.

“Alright, then, let’s settle the matter of undressing with a ledger. Whoever loses, we’ll note it down and carry out the penalty later. How about it, husband?” Qin Lulu asked.

The march was slow, as soldiers relied on their own legs, and the mountain roads in the valley were treacherous and exhausting. After hastily pitching tents and eating dry rations, the troops hurriedly crawled into their tents and fell asleep.

So this is another hard-fought battle, and with Dragon’s Summon still cooling down, for now we have to rely on our own abilities. But there’s one more headache.

At a quarter past the second watch, the vanguard of the Jin army entered the ambush circle, which was rather large—five miles across. A regiment of cavalry was stationed at the bottom, prepared for a deadly defense.

“Tianxiang, why hesitate? This is the most generous condition I can offer!” Li Chenggong gazed at him with burning eyes.

At this moment, Lin Jianxi had just finished bathing, her hair already dried. She sat on the sofa, occasionally laughing at her phone. Soon, it rang; someone was calling her, and she answered.

This time, the black cat raised its paw but did not lower it immediately, as if pondering whether the name suited it. Slowly, it put down its paw, mewed softly, and jumped to the floor.

“It’s not impossible,” Yas thought, and seemed quite tempted—perhaps they wouldn’t marry after all?

Zhao Yuan stared blankly at Qin Mu’s departing silhouette, his heart in turmoil, unable to hear He Qian’s mockery.

“Get up, didn’t you say you wanted to watch the sunrise?” Yas lifted the cloak, revealing Xia Yuyou’s head, and flicked her smooth, full forehead.

For this reason, every time the Heavenly Emperor urged her, Shao Jiang repeatedly postponed, causing no suspicion in his heart.

Zheng Feng bent at the waist, maintaining half a body’s distance, then respectfully introduced Qin Mu.

The disciples of Dao Yi Sect nearby were left utterly stunned. Was it possible to flatter someone with such shameless abandon?

“Then why have you never told me?” With nothing ever shared, it was impossible not to mind.

After giving the address, the call was promptly ended. Young Master Zhou tossed aside his phone, glanced at the clothes in his hand, and resumed packing.

“Wait a moment! The ambulance is on its way!” Huang Yan knew that CH Hospital was a twenty-minute walk from there. The ambulance would take at most three minutes to arrive, so it should be here soon.

Liu Yan had long been familiar with this type of film; as a self-taught actress, she learned bit by bit through acting. Environment and experience determine the trajectory of your career.

After the port incident, Piltover launched a thorough investigation into the Noxian forces within its borders, and for a time, tension was palpable.

His emerald thumb ring had its own story—it was once Emperor Qianlong’s cherished possession, eventually falling into his hands. A single ring, already played with to perfection.

Ye Yaotiao had just reached the ground floor when she heard the front door slam shut with a loud bang, startling her. She looked over and saw the butler standing in the entryway.

Gres led the way ahead, still not stopping, so Lin Wei continued to ask questions.

Kayvilin was at a loss; she was familiar with the resumes of these dispatched mages. Apprentices with no prospects in the Mage Academy, once sent to the mortal kingdoms, rarely returned. Especially such mid-assignment replacements—there was almost no record of them in royal chronicles.
