Volume 1, Chapter 54: Prime Minister Qi, the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

"Save your breath. If you were a divine-tier master, you might be able to eradicate my energy, but as you are now, you are still far too lacking." Godly Monarch Cangyue said with a smile, then turned around and looked no further at Shitian.

Elder Li Jing's voice lived up to her name—exceedingly calm and serene, without a trace of outward aura or domineering presence, making her seem entirely like a mortal.

Inside the Zhu Mansion, a gloomy atmosphere hung heavy. Everyone serving in the Grand Old Madam's courtyard knew that for the past hour, the sound of items being smashed inside the room had not ceased for a single moment.

The so-called all living beings of the three realms—the mortal world containing the Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Human Realm. With immortals and demons standing in opposition and withdrawing to the outer realms, humans were left to multiply and recuperate. Herself—or rather, her white-robed self—was a warrior of the Immortal Realm, the sole younger sister of the renowned God of War.

However, compared to having one-fifth of her memories erased, the eradication of one-third of her personality posed a far more severe problem.

"Hmph. You all owe me compensation. A single meal took up half my day and half the night, disrupting my reception of other business and causing me and the waiter so much exhaustion tossing and turning for most of the night," Li Na said, pouting in a deliberately aggrieved manner.

The fragrance of incense permeated every corner of the temple, and the sound of the wooden fish drifted intermittently into her ears. Lady Yuan also regained some of her vitality. Having been in this ancient era for so long, this was her first time going out; how could she not be full of curiosity?

As for Gu Hao, gazing at that blood dragon, a wave of curiosity suddenly stirred within his heart. After a moment of thought, he smiled faintly.

Dongxue's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, regretting her impatience. Yet, if she were to retreat directly at this moment, wouldn't she lose face before Lanmei? To simply force her way through now... it truly was a dilemma.

Horses, in truth, possess a human-like comprehension. It gradually slowed its pace, and as they approached the village, Ma Ruyue pulled on the reins and called out, "Whoa!" Finally, the horse came to a halt.

That gaze shook the soul. With a single look, Ao Hou felt his mind suddenly experience a violent tremor.

"Mother, Elder Sister, what are you two talking about?" Ma Rujian felt belatedly as though he had missed some crucial question.

"Ruhai, Ruhai." Ma Ruyue felt that such a major matter still needed to be communicated to the person involved, so she pulled her younger brother into a corner and whispered thus.

Ao Hou remained silent. His open palms clenched into fists at some unknown moment, gripping so tightly that his fingernails dug directly into his flesh, yet he felt no pain.

Even though Gao Qiuguan possessed a face as thick as a city wall and impervious to bullets, under Jiang Ying's naked, unmasked gaze, he still felt intensely uncomfortable and ashamed.

As one of the sponsors, Tiantianle Mobile naturally ushered in another peak in sales because of this.

The most eye-catching performer in the first half of the season was, of course, Fiorentina, who had secured six consecutive victories in their recent matches.

"Haha!" The old man burst into laughter instead. "I, Ling Hong, have finally waited for my day to shine!" Following that, the old man let out a few more bouts of wild laughter, making Chen Yuan's heart creep with unease.

"Since you are from Spirit Beast Town, why weren't you surprised when you heard my name?" Ling Xiao asked at this point.

I frowned, lowering my head to look back at Baihe, who was sleeping rather uneasily, feeling a certain degree of guilt in my heart.

Furthermore, reaching this juncture, his paramount priority was still to observe the attitude of the Horned Dragon.

"Uncle Xu, even if Bureau Chief Liu is not a corrupt official, do you know? His conduct is also problematic—" Zhang Yang suddenly recalled that banquet he attended with Bureau Chief Liu and Dabaizi, where he too had crossed the line, and promptly clamped his mouth shut, saying no more.

Tragedies in the mortal world occurred every day. In the eyes of autocratic rulers, the lives of others were not meant to be respected, but consumed. The lives of any indigenous people could be used to pay the price for their momentary displeasure.

Xiong Er was severely injured, his complexion as pale as paper, his entire body drenched in blood with wounds covering him everywhere. Moreover, upon every single wound, a gloomy light flickered, dissolving his vital essence and preventing the injuries from healing for a long time.

The rest of the sentence was left unsaid, but those abruptly chilling and profound eyes caused Su Jinxi's body to shudder violently.

Tuntuntun walked over proactively, sitting between Yaya and Luo An, and unceremoniously grabbed a spoon to take a bite of the food before looking at Yaya with a smile.

Had it been now, even if I were to make Baihe hate me for the rest of her life, I would not be willing to let her experience even the slightest mishap during childbirth.

What Zhu Ling had said was actually something I had considered as well; indeed, them coming to me versus me going to them carried entirely different meanings.

Seeing this, Ye Youyao slightly furrowed his brow, walked slowly toward Su Jinxi, and took the towel from her hands.

"Your consideration is unquestionable, but martial artists value integrity. Since you agreed to his request, you must keep your word. Can you simply squeeze her in?" Pill Masters Guild President Yue Qing said to Ye Qing.

Shier lost all patience and directly pushed the door. As it turned out, the door was not locked, swinging open easily with a gentle nudge.

"President Yu is difficult to negotiate with, but I can try to persuade him." Chai Menglong was the first to break the silence.

Could this Young Master Xie be wanting to speak to me about something... inconvenient? Something that couldn't be uttered in public?

"Even knowing you might not make the cut, you still have to give it your all and prepare. Do you hear me?" Li Weifeng's mother exhorted.

"All right then." Hua Kaite reluctantly agreed, though inwardly he was quite delighted, his complexion flushing slightly.

Yiwanjun truly could not believe that the spirit pearl he had painstakingly searched for all this time was actually a fake among the five spirit pearls. At that moment, Yiwanjun wished he could instantly crush Ye Qing to death beneath his palm.
