Chapter 49: Lord Phoenix

Feng Ruqing frowned, filled with doubt in her heart. This proposal had been meticulously prepared by her, and those who knew its contents could be counted on one hand. How could it have been leaked?

The air in the room seemed to congeal, oppressively heavy and making it hard to breathe, foreshadowing that a major trouble was imminent.

Before she could think it through further, news came that Wealthy Merchant Liu, along with other business factions, was openly provoking her in the Chamber of Commerce's negotiation room, boycotting her commercial alliance.

As Feng Ruqing stepped into the negotiation room, the oppressive—

"Thank you, Fairy!" She nodded knowingly in acknowledgment, grateful for how she used the banter about Madeira to ease her sorrowful mood.

What she hadn't expected was that the two maidservants made no attempt to hide anything, telling Chuxin everything directly and bluntly. This made Chuxin wonder if she had misunderstood—perhaps she wasn't kidnapped after all?

"So we just need to make sure he isn't the ninth to enter the stage, or simply prevent him from going up to sing?" Momo grasped the idea immediately.

Upon seeing the thunder clouds shrouding most of Kunlun Mountain and checking the data displayed on the screen, the middle-aged man drew a sharp breath. These figures made it clear that the dark cloud before them was by no means ordinary.

Facing the sword piercing fiercely toward him at lightning speed, Qiu Feng was utterly nonchalant. Swordsmanship could not be mastered overnight; it required years and years of repetitive practice. After all, Tianming was merely a fourteen-year-old boy; no matter how formidable he was, how impressive could he possibly be?

This city of the heavenly pit was exceptionally quiet at night, devoid of any nightlife, and enforced a curfew. Along a single street, they encountered three patrols of soldiers.

Just as the bus was about to brush past the old woman, she suddenly raised her head, glanced at the carriage window, and a bizarre smile appeared on her face.

"I wonder what thoughts the Prime Minister might have?" Qiu Tian took in all the reactions below at a glance, then said calmly.

They might not have recognized the name Luo Yiling, but once associated with the identity of a disciple of the Taoist Tianzong sect, it wasn't difficult to guess whom Xiaomeng was referring to.

The people of the White Tiger Kingdom were naturally hot-tempered, and this Qi Kang was exceptionally fiery. Disagreeing on even a single point would trigger a roar that made people's eardrums ache.

"Ten thousand victories! To the generous magistrate's wife, the beautiful Crysta!" The guests danced and cheered loudly.

"You're back!" As if sensing his return, the Eldest Princess came out to greet him personally, her expression carrying the quiet joy of a wife welcoming her husband home.

A pair of tranquil, unfathomable eyes seemed capable of piercing through everything, sending a simultaneous chill through the hearts of all the students.

And when both Li Cheng and Chen Li pulled out their phones to exchange numbers and add each other on WeChat, the eyes of many people immediately turned red with envy.

Resisting the power that could tear his body apart at any moment, Elder Youye roared with a grief-stricken voice, knowing that the Demon Emperor would surely hear his plea.

"Chengzi, just rest easy. My old man knows a jade carving master. Forget about a bottle cap; even a masterpiece of jade carving, I can get it for you," Zhao Fei said with utter confidence.

At that very moment, the Blood-Thirsting Emperor had no time for further thought. He hastily unleashed a forbidden fire technique, attempting to seal Baili Dengfeng along with his terrifying moves back into the Avici Purgatory.

Li Wanqing was not only a reigning diva of the current music scene, but her dancing was also second to none in the entire industry, earning her the title of "Magic Dancer."

The ten-thousand-year snow lotus was miraculous and could not be detected with spiritual awareness. Resting atop the glacier, its crystal-clear body blended perfectly with the ice, making it invisible to the naked eye.

Seeing his own wife publicly state that she wanted to follow someone else, Niu Er's eyes turned completely bloodshot, glowing a deep, angry red.

Chen Ming was very curious. Did this number mean that more than three million people had already activated this fishing software before him?

The curtains in every single room had actually been pulled open. Even the master bedroom, where the curtains were always drawn because old Wang needed to sleep during the day, had them opened up as well, though the furnishings inside remained obscured.
