Volume 1, Chapter 39: Teasing the Princess

Those beast-taming locks are each worth thousands; with over thirty already deployed on the demon rats, their total value has reached a million. Naturally, Zhu Fei is terrified of losing them.

The three of them chatted and drank until the middle of the night before parting ways. Wu Po and Wang Sheng, hazy with intoxication, fell into a deep sleep at the City Lord’s Mansion. They did not take their leave until they awoke the next day, finally at ease to begin their seclusion and incubate their spirit seeds.

"But why do they still wear smiles on their faces?" This was what puzzled Gu Lixian the most.

The tribespeople followed the orders and departed. Shortly after, three men arrived and knelt before Xue Li. They pressed their left hands to their chests and raised their right hands toward the sky, calling out to the Great King with deep, sincere loyalty.

As the various teams resolved their crises, Zhong Ming and the other five reunited, guarding their previous resting spot while waiting for their prey to deliver itself.

The talented young gentlemen had hoped to express their affections through the couplets, but they were instead asked to let the young ladies restore them. A profound sense of disappointment washed over the young men.

Back in the day, the Xia King entered the academy at sixteen as a mid-grade Spirit King; he graduated at twenty as a high-grade Dao Heaven. He was immensely powerful, suppressing his peers and remaining far ahead of everyone else.

To everyone's shock, just as the Evil God Urusa was raging with fierce flames and steadily eroding Aldington’s strength, the Storm Greatsword suddenly split it in two. Before the Evil God could recover, Aldington swung his left fist, striking one half of Urusa’s body with brutal force.

Aldington was somewhat disappointed. Noble families spent centuries cultivating their lands; only by raising a sufficient number of Nymphs and Muses could they extract enough value from the soil. In this era, industry seemed shackled by the laws of the world, and agriculture remained the most vital productive force.

It is said that men never cherish what they obtain too easily. She had to be careful not to let him take advantage of her too readily, lest he look down on her. Li Yan quickly reached out to cover his mouth, casting him a sidelong glance with a coquettish pout.

She had assumed that given Li Mingde's feelings for Yun Jun, the position of Empress would be reserved for her. Yet, in the end, she was only granted the title of Consort.

An ordinary person would surely meet a grim fate here, and that includes those carrying torches.

Regarding the news of the twenty thousand blue robots on the first page, he and 9527 saw eye to eye. Moreover, he was not one to worry needlessly, so he merely gave the report a cursory glance.

As the third eye on his forehead opened, a ghostly light shot out a meter before vanishing into nothingness. Although the light lasted only a few seconds, it triggered a shift in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

In truth, given Su Wan’er’s fame, there were countless young talents in Qingzhou Prefecture who admired her, far more than just Li Qingshan. Su Wan’er had to handle these people herself. For other suitors, it was easy enough—at worst, she would ignore them, or if necessary, beat them up.

Having become a spirit beast, the Green-Scaled Eagle’s flight speed had increased dramatically. Under steady flight, it was normal for it to travel thousands of kilometers without stopping; even at top speed, it could cover over a thousand kilometers.

"Why is this? Is it possible the calamity of the Red Alliance has not yet arrived?" the Soul Demon muttered to himself. Unable to discern the reason, he let the matter go.

In the shopping mall, Xu Hui was trying on her Nth outfit. She stood before the floor-length mirror, looking leisurely at her reflection, though she was actually observing Lin Yinan behind her.

Once the Demon-Sealing Cave is opened, the ancient seal will be eroded by demonic energy and slowly lose its effectiveness. By then, increasingly powerful demons will descend upon this world.

His hair was not as neat as usual, and his expression was not so solemn; he truly looked like a university student.

Nodding, Ji Ying did not try to act brave. She understood that although she now possessed the strength of an expert at the peak of the late Emperor Realm, she would still be walking to her death if she faced a great divine master of the mid-Saint Realm.

Ten days passed in a flash. The Gao Family Gang turned the entire Green Rain Peak upside down but could not find Tong Liang. The disciples sent to White Cloud City to gather information also returned to tell Gao Wei that Tong Liang had not returned there.

This was inevitable. The Great Dao of heaven and earth follows its own laws, and sharp energy is like ocean waves, possessing peaks and troughs—it is just that ordinary people cannot capture them. Zhang Ye was born with the talent to cut through these "structural defects," and he saw this opportunity.

Many men drifted through the crowd; some openly made comments and whistled, feeling quite pleased with themselves. Little did they know, compared to true experts, they were far behind.

The Mysterious Yin Spirit-Gathering Bamboo contains an innate "Gui-Hai Tripod-Gathering Array" and a "Space Reversal Array." Inducing the starry sky is simply one of its innate divine abilities.

The High Priest was stunned. As a supreme existence, the Temple had stood since time immemorial, never suffering disaster, let alone damage, thanks to the protection of the gods. But what was happening today? Could the apocalypse spoken of by the Creator really be arriving? For a moment, he could not help but feel bewildered.

For some reason, these words from Yao Wanyue caused a pang of pain in Li Tian’s heart. This version of Yao Wanyue made him ache with sympathy.

The wind blew against her face, gentle and soft. Aside from the occasional scent of blood it carried, it lacked the murderous aura Yuxin had expected.

It is said that after Li Xu left, Luo Fengying felt a persistent sense of unease. Sure enough, six hours later, the earth began to tremble.

"The Emperor has gone to great trouble. Over the past six years, Ziyue’s tastes have changed a great deal. The Emperor should take these back!" Lan Ziyue refused coldly. She would not accept any gift from Nangong Chenxun; he had to give up on her completely.

"Really?!" Qu Jian immediately gripped Li Yunqi’s hand, seemingly convinced he had won. However, Li Yunqi’s next words left him utterly breathless.
