Volume 1, Chapter 64: Danger

Lu Yunduan led a troop, cautiously approaching the dilapidated post station.
The long-neglected door groaned in protest as it was pushed, sounding as though it might fall apart at any moment.

Li Er's eyes were also red with anger. Previously, he only knew that Changle had escaped danger without any major issues, which was why he hadn't paid much attention to Hou Liang. But now, seeing Changle's miserable state, he wished he could bring Hou Liang back to life just to subject him to death by a thousand cuts, feeling not an ounce of sympathy left for Hou Liang's demise.

Thus, at Li Yi's command, the procession of twenty manual carts marched grandly onto the main street, instantly causing a great uproar.

That eagle possessed piercing eyes, talons curved like crescent moons and exceptionally sharp, and a beak pointed like an arrow. Its body was more than twice the size of Yuyang's, and except for its yellow beak, its entire body was pitch black, looking rather terrifying.

"Finding Chen Yuan and the others is no different from finding me." Shen Siyang cast a cold glance at her, his gaze then falling upon the delicate hand she was using to pull his arm, his eyes tinged with a trace of impatience.

"Then what makes you think I have a grudge against the imperial court? You must know that hidden factions do exist in this world." Zhang Wudao muttered resentfully.

If one day, that day truly arrives, I hope to use my own hands to bury you in the soil. At best, worldly matters will no longer concern me, and I can close my eyes, lying beside you through eternity.

In truth, her heart was secretly resentful and annoyed at her own cleverness, having been thoroughly humbled by Dongfeng Jing'er, leaving bitterness in her heart.

After practicing for nearly an hour, feeling his entire body flush with heat, Li Yi slowly withdrew his posture, channeled his energy back into his Dantian, and gently expelled a breath of stale air. Then, glancing to the side, he suddenly burst into laughter.

Today was a very happy day for Changle, because today was her birthday. In the past, she never cared much about birthdays, usually celebrating with just a single egg. But this time was different; this was her first birthday after her grand wedding, holding a special significance, and she longed to spend it together with Li Yi.

After the meal, the client's connecting vehicle was not the same as ours. After saying our goodbyes, grandmother brought me back to the courtyard. Because the task requested by grandmother had to be performed at night, and moreover, mother could help out a bit at home in the evening.

Su Qingwan beside her took a noticeably deep breath, and Sheng Mingzhu could feel her fingers being gripped a bit tighter by the other. When she glanced over from the corner of her eye, Su Qingwan's previously reddish eye rims were already blurred once more, and amidst the misty vapor, certain emotions melted away in an instant.

"Does such a person truly exist in this world?" Upon hearing this, Xin Shiniang and the fox maidens looked at Elder Xin in utter shock.

Hearing Sato Fuharu say this, Liang Zhe suddenly remembered that members of the Liang family had come looking for him last night. It seemed they had been driven away by the fellow in front of him using some unknown method.

The darkness was gradually replaced by the morning mist, and a crimson sun rose from the east, casting its light upon the pier, full of vitality.

Shi Yi nodded, recounting to Ye Nuanye her afternoon encounter at Cuiyuan where Sheng Mingzhu and Xuanyuan Yi were alone together at Luoxia Lake, including her meeting with commandery prince Anjie.

Her whole body trembled violently, not from fear, but from a chill of revulsion. Although she had not yet fully recovered her memories, those recollections were slowly welling up—feeling like a dream, yet so excruciatingly real.

Shen Rong had been depressed ever since that Crown Prince arrived. Though he had previously spoken of calling off the engagement—which initially made her somewhat glad—how was it that this matter had now faded into nothingness without a resolution?

Mingyi suddenly found herself unable to offer a single word of comfort. Just a few days ago, she could promise Wei Shouyan that she would not snatch Wu Qianping away, that she would not stay at the Vice Minister's residence, and that she would demand no official status. But now, at this very moment, she could no longer say those words.

The carriage traveled along the main thoroughfare of Hangzhou City, took several turns, and after nearly an hour, finally came to a stop by the Weishui River outside the city. It was very quiet here, with only a painted boat draped in red lanterns floating silently on the water.

She could no longer tell whether it was tears or river water, feeling only that her head was heavy, as if she had lost consciousness. Her lips tried to call out his name, but no sound could be produced no matter what, and she could only sink downwards.

Gong Yu's entire body radiated surging internal energy, forming a golden barrier of protective Qi. The ice shards striking against it emitted clanging sounds, as if hitting solid metal.

So the White Lotus could not only control Liu Mang, but also possessed tracking capabilities. Did this not mean that every single move Liu Mang made could not escape the eyes of that head?

The King of the Kingdom of Goa personally escorted the representatives of the World Government all the way into the palace. Along the way, everyone walked upon a specially constructed elevated platform covered with brand-new carpets extending from the palace to the pier, adorned with fresh flowers plucked just that morning.

The power of this sword was difficult to enhance in a short period, and another matter had already become extremely urgent: he needed to forge a magic-grade pill furnace. The other supplementary herb for the Vermilion Fruit Cleansing Spirit was about to mature; if he did not have a suitable pill furnace before then, Chu Wangshu would only be able to watch helplessly as the vital energy of the Vermilion Fruit gradually dissipated.

Yet why did Gufeng always feel that the demonic power within him possessed an unnatural quality?

Although the cultivator surnamed Meng was attacked by dozens of earth-armor ants, he was temporarily unhurt and could occasionally counterattack Wu Kong. Seeing the miserable state of the masked cultivator surnamed Zhang, he was also filled with extreme terror, desperately killing a few earth-armor ants in front of him, and immediately pulled out a jade slip to rapidly transmit a message.
