Volume One, Chapter 56: The Half-Grown Boy Who Drains a Family's Fortune

“Alright, alright, as long as it’s settled, come here to your father.” Garo Saint took Garo Junfeng by the hand and headed toward a certain place.

“Sister Zhou, there are only two months until school starts. Can I finally enjoy myself during this time?” Yang Qianxi was already planning in her mind what delicious food to eat at home and how many days she could sleep peacefully.

The fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is the Ghost Festival, when the gate of hell is said to open wide. According to tradition, every family must visit the graves to pay respects to their ancestors. For a large clan like the Ye family, this is an annual ritual without fail.

Thinking of Song Qingci’s usual lofty demeanor, and how at every banquet, when Song Qingci was present, all the men’s eyes were fixed solely on her, ignoring everyone else—now, seeing her being overlooked and unfortunate… everyone suddenly felt a surge of satisfaction.

Aolong’s eyes bulged, filled with disbelief. That move just now was his ultimate killing technique, capable of instantly defeating Ling Chen without question—how could it have been directly crushed by Ling Chen?

Because of the impending demolition, the low and dilapidated houses around this area were already surrounded by tall fences, and most of the residents had long since moved away.

Hearing this, Ming Haoxuan spoke up: “Master, who exactly are you speaking for? You were grinning ear to ear just a moment ago.” But seeing Nangong Nianxi glaring at him, he dared not insist on his opinion any longer.

Liu Kuo’s eyes widened in shock. He had known Qin Yu was formidable, but he hadn’t expected that so many people would still be no match for him.

Just as I was about to look away, a blood-red eye appeared in my glance.

Chang Kong’s voice grew dark and somber. He had endured so many bloody battles that only such a tone could command respect.

Freni’s figure slowly became transparent in the air, and suddenly a strange wind stirred around.

Due to his illness, the selection of concubines was naturally put on hold. Li Shimin was extremely anxious and sent Imperial Physician Jiang to the Eastern Palace for treatment.

Qingyunzi waved his large hand, restoring the room to its original state, except that six lanterns were now arranged in the shape of the Southern Dipper. Changsheng’s body slowly floated upwards, standing in midair almost touching the ceiling, while the six lanterns circled continuously beneath him.

The flowing energy caused the seawater to form a smooth depression, preventing any waves from approaching, as if a person were standing on a stretched cloth which sank wherever they stepped.

Aimo carefully examined the room and first noticed the torn fragments of his and Vivian’s clothes. Moreover, there were bite marks on Aimo’s body left by Vivian, which had drawn blood. It was clear how much suffering Vivian endured in this room last night.

To clarify this matter, we must go back to before the war ended. After the allied forces first encountered the flying demons, surviving aerial warriors reported to their superiors that these new demon species seemed far stronger than ordinary demons.

Seven spots remained open. With ten major sects, three sects had not yet had a chance to participate, making them somewhat anxious and even prompting inquiries.

Suddenly, the rooftop, which could originally hold just over two thousand people, was crowded with nearly five thousand.

After Mei Ming finished speaking, many, including Sasuke, Raikage, and Bai, simultaneously sighed in agreement.

I turned my head and saw a man in gray clothes approach Teacher Qiao, who stopped to speak with him.

A cold blunt weapon plunged into the back, followed by the sensation of withdrawal. I could even feel cold air blowing into the wound, then a piercing pain shot into the brain. Only then did Chen Chen understand what had happened.

They were fearless and had no intention of explaining. Since Tai Chu Holy Son and the others behaved so shamelessly, they naturally did not hold back, their tone extremely harsh.

Of course, she only suspected momentarily and thought that Huangfu Qianyu wouldn’t be that bored.

But now hearing these words, why did she feel like these people were trying to desert? Can a camp simply be chosen at random? Once stationed there, can they move their troops around without reporting to superiors?

A sobbing sound suddenly came from a corner. Liu Chang jumped up like he saw a ghost. Chen Chen sat curled up in the corner beside the sofa, hugging her knees, half her face hidden. She pitifully stared at them. Seeing Zhang Zhe notice her, she shrank back even further.

“Zhang Zhe, don’t go too far!” Luo Yangfan called after him as Zhang Zhe started to leave. “Have you never heard of knowing when to stop? If you really want to perish together, do you think your Deep Blue Group’s background can stand against me?” Luo Yangfan threatened again.

The ancient great emperor, unmatched in battle, might appear once in an era. Overlooking the world, the imperial weapon was the emperor’s proof of enlightenment, capable of completely ignoring all others.

Hua Muer gradually came to her senses. No wonder this year’s assessment of the Divine Physician Valley was… somewhat unscrupulous.

While watching the movie, they were completely captivated by Zhou Bai’s performance, never once distracted. After the film ended, the stark contrast between the real Zhou Bai and his on-screen persona, especially knowing his age, left them incredulous.

“But it seems I forgot to tell you something—wherever I want to leave, no one can stop me!” With a wave of his hand, a spatial rift appeared in Chen Yufan’s palm.
