Chapter 40 Confession

Xie Liwen knew he was in the wrong and stubbornly endured the beating from Lu San without fighting back.
Every punch Lu San landed carried absolute ferocity, slamming heavily into Xie Liwen's body.
Seeing that the surrounding servants were struggling with all their might yet completely unable to restrain the out-of-control Lu San, anger began to flare up inside him step by step.
As he watched Lu San, eyes red with rage, aiming a lethal blow right at his face—
At this moment, I finally managed to see his face clearly. His nose was prominent, his lips thin, and his deep eyes shimmered with a greenish glow—an extremely pale green, resembling the lake light veiled in autumn mist. Right now, I was leaning in close to him, observing with great interest.

Factions on all sides were taking intense and meticulous action. Over at Qing Hua Xiang, Wu Ping, Chen Baifu, and Shuiyu Cai had all made their preparations; over at Fu Zhi Long, Chen Liu, Cui Guangnan, and Yu Buci had already finished loading boats with provisions and cargo, leaving everything ready for departure.

After saying these words, he felt his spiritual consciousness return to his body once more, and a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering power began to flow through him. He could distinctly feel the immense magnitude of this strength.

"Right, earlier she mentioned needing Ao Jue to help her with something—what on earth was that matter?" Nie Shao asked abruptly. Because he felt a strong sense of familiarity with Yan Ying, he had paid special attention to what she said earlier.

Detecting the anomaly, Nie Shao immediately stopped. This white space was truly terrifying, capable of even interfering with his cultivation; if he were to continue practicing here, he would undoubtedly suffer a deviation and fall into demonic obsession.

Sure enough, Luomen's mobile phone was already switched off. Jiang Manyun could no longer contain her fury and viciously hurled her phone down at her feet. The smile on Sasha's face deepened; at this moment, she knew very well that what Luomen was doing would serve as yet another provocation to Jiang Manyun.

"Hey, what are both of you doing? Let me tell you, there's only one air mattress here, and it's not very sturdy either. If the two of you climb on, you'll probably burst it!" Liu Xing said with his eyes closed. The air of the natural world was truly wonderful.

Hearing the Empress Dowager's words left a bitter taste in Gu Yange's mouth, while the Empress's words left her feeling thoroughly unsettled.

Gu Yange's plan was that if Prince Cheng's Manor had genuinely taken a fancy to the Second Miss, she might as well go along with the current and send her over to their household. Whether she became a concubine or a maid of low rank would simply be the Second Miss's own destiny.

However, there were still no purely digital program-controlled switchboards available domestically; it was practically a blank slate. How were Changjiu and the others supposed to handle this?

"I said I wasn't even sure if I was pregnant myself. The nausea only started last night, and I didn't dare go get checked. Mother just told me to go back to my room to rest first and not make a fuss about it."

Li Yi was not merely studying; he was simultaneously verifying his own Daoist arts while learning the methods of the Yellow Springs.

"Teacher, proposing the wager was my idea, and I will resolve this matter," Xia Youzhi said.

More than half of the cargo on the cart was gone, and the cloth pouch across his chest was stuffed to the brim with various small-denomination paper notes and coins.

Still, going back might not be a bad thing. After enduring such a long adventure, experiencing so many wars, and overcoming countless hardships, she had finally completed the assessment and saved the world. It was high time to return to Earth and relax for a while.

"You..." Zhang Man opened her mouth but could not continue. Given her personality, she would have already rushed over to attack. Yet, facing the currently formidable Wang Mo, she held lingering reservations in her heart.

She was going to be quite busy over the next few days. Taking advantage of her free time today, Xia Youzhi wanted to settle the matter she had been contemplating earlier.

Watching Xia Youzhi's retreating figure without a shred of lingering attachment, Gu Tieshen angrily kicked the stones by the roadside a few times.

Lin Xiuqing also came out to take a look upon hearing the crying. Realizing it was because she wouldn't let the child eat, she couldn't help smiling either.

I wanted to cry out for help, but no sound would come out at all. An idea flashed in my mind, and thinking of the two inferior crystals the black-robed priest had given me, I quickly took them out. Before I could even use them, my heart gave a violent twitch, my vision went completely black, and I lost consciousness, fainting away.
