Volume One, Chapter 56: Am I Still Your Good Sister?

Ye Chuiyun was unusually distracted, unable to stop himself from recalling some past memories.

Since childhood, he had no concept of a home. The royal court was first about the emperor, then about family, but within the depths of the palace, often only the former mattered.

“How much do you truly love her?” Kong Yao unleashed her trump card. With her knowledge, she could gauge the weight of this question—it pierced straight into a man’s heart, shattering all defenses. She wanted to see if her boyfriend would feel jealous when he admitted it.

Zhang Hongyu went from murmuring softly to shouting hoarsely, eventually raising his hand to strike his own cheek.

Everyone had been too engaged in battle to notice Da Ke’s injuries earlier, but seeing them now was truly horrifying. His face was covered with wounds, one eye gouged out, leaving only some connecting tissues; his torso was ripped open, revealing a large hole, and one arm had been severed.

“You’re right,” Ling Xiao’er nodded. “Just like electromagnetic waves, which can transmit energy, sound, and images across thousands of miles—something utterly incomprehensible to ancient people. Even if some had mentioned such phenomena, they would have dismissed them as mere mysteries.”

Many insiders believed this industry was about to enter a flourishing era; a wild celebration was just beginning.

Water conducts electricity—but only for a moment! The current from Thunderfang surged through the entire body of the Megatooth Shark! Suddenly struck by such a powerful attack, the Megatooth Shark cried out in pain! The water flowing over its body abruptly dissipated! Suffering, its eyes filled with agony as it fell helplessly from the air.

Zhang Jiayu had not experienced the Great Battle of South Zhili and was unaware of the new army’s combat prowess. He knew this was his first time leading troops independently, and failure would be a grave disappointment to His Majesty the Emperor.

Because the families chosen were closely connected to the Ji family, if they moved to the Jieheshang Market, Ji Yi would be able to monitor the situation there through them.

The Dark Kyurem landed steadily on the platform and, upon seeing the Lightstone at its center, a faint smile appeared on its lips.

So the Fire Rose was truly magical. Nature’s creations always counter one another; every entity has its purpose. No matter what, the crisis had been averted.

The Mirror of Demons was large and required someone to carry it. Moreover, it had a peculiar trait—it could not be stored inside the Universe Pouch.

“Wait here. I’ll go listen in,” Tang Gou signaled to the three others not to act rashly.

Because the Aake team chose motorcycles as their vehicles, they were destined to avoid overly formal battles; once stopped, they would have no cover.

Park Seok’s confidence remained unwavering. With his own strength on display, he believed defeating them would not be too difficult.

Du Zigui performed hand seals and cast several ranged spells, all of which were blocked by Si Xie’s demonic energy barrier.

Wang Siyuan felt uneasy. Could Wang Renzhi’s death be related to that old foe Feng Yeluo? That would be troublesome.

Bai Zhihan’s temperament was such: those who followed him prospered, those who defied him perished. To live comfortably, one had to comply with his wishes, no matter how unwilling they felt inside, never showing it.

After walking for a long time, Lin Yu and his group met Liuli leading the team, holding a magical artifact none had seen before.

Lin Qianyu tidied herself in the mirror, smoothed her skirt’s hem, then turned and stepped out.

If in the future her master wished to take a concubine, it would mean their relationship had reached its end, and she would have nothing more to say. Moreover, persuading her master to take a concubine was simply impossible.
