Volume 1, Chapter 21: Another Unwanted Suitor

Seeing her bizarre sleeping position, Lu Zetao’s mouth twitched faintly. Without hesitation, he reached out to straighten her arms and legs.

“We came here, master and disciple, while tracking a snake demon.” Liu Changsheng deliberately glanced at Ren Bai as he spoke.

“Ahem. Ahem, ahem.” Yu Qing’s sudden change made Lian Yuncheng feel as though something was wrong with his throat.

Cheng Jiaxuan braced herself. But she thought that, in his eyes, she had never possessed any dignity to begin with, so perhaps this could not count as any particular humiliation. She walked down the steps in front of him, her entire body rigid and tense, her two legs moving like wooden sticks. She had practically forgotten how to walk.

This was the skill I was most confident in. Yet just as the vines reached the flower demon’s heels, her originally silvery-white eyes turned pink.

The man in blue had already returned and was once again attending his master. When Yunsong approached, he hurriedly bowed deeply.

Zhao Lin and Zhao Qin ate slowly and carefully. As for me, I had finished eating long ago, and could only sit to one side, sipping juice while gazing at the night view outside the window.

A hint of caution appeared in Dong Xing’s eyes. He seemed somewhat wary of the jade ruler that had forcibly broken the weapon he was so proud of.

Cheng Yitian found the sight rather strange and turned to ask something, only to see Yunsong gnashing his teeth, jealousy and hatred shining in his carefully made-up eyes.

“Your entire body was lifted up?” I looked at him in confusion, thinking to myself: Could that black-clothed man you encountered have been a ghost as well?

“Why bother with them?” Xi Yixiao stopped her from putting on her clothes. After pulling her back down, he turned over and pressed himself on top of her.

Yoshida Yoko stared blankly at the deformed twin-mounted forward main guns on the foredeck of the flagship Nan. They listed to one side as though someone had opened them with a can opener; the entire turret had twisted apart, leaving a two-meter-long gash, its steel plating severely warped. Nearby lay several mutilated corpses.

Li Xiaomo himself understood that the stability of the defensive line was only temporary. If the enemy continued attacking with such intensity, there was no way to predict how long his more than one hundred thousand soldiers could hold out. The defensive line might collapse in the very next assault.

Many times, when cultivators at the Primordial Gathering Realm sparred, there was no need for them to fight for three days and three nights. A brief exchange was enough to reveal a great deal. After all, if cultivators at that level truly fought with all their strength for several days, the destruction inflicted on their surroundings would be far more than mere words could convey.

Feng’er decided to say something to distract the young madam. Otherwise, once they returned, the young master would probably be frightened by her appearance.

“Nonsense. If no man appreciates your beauty, what use is it no matter how beautiful you are? Bring it up here. This opportunity comes only once,” Chen Qiang said with a laugh.

“Me too. I think about it every moment. A-Qiang, kiss me.” Bai Yujie still believed she was dreaming.

In her daze, Nie Feng felt unbearable soreness throughout his body. Needle-like pain continually assailed him, making him utterly miserable.

“We did date, but he never told me any of this.” Xi Yizheng lowered the car window slightly and narrowed her eyes as she felt the spring breeze waft across her face.

A smile flickered through Jinniang’s eyes when she heard this. It seemed that Suqin was no pushover either; she certainly knew how to choose the right moment to cause a commotion. With such a loud voice, there was no way Leng Wan inside the room could fail to hear it.

Under the pressure of this world, it was astonishing that such an effect could still exist—allowing someone to hide and remain difficult to detect. Fortunately, I had discovered it today; otherwise, it would have been impossible to imagine how much more arduous the battles here would become.
