Chapter 58

"Ugh—please, Your Highness, calm your anger—" Meixiang followed anxiously behind the furious Ming Yue, terrified that the princess might break something else to vent her frustration. Although the monthly allowance was not a small sum, it still wasn't enough for the princess to smash at will, and she was the one who had to requisition replacements for whatever got broken.

Although this remark was a tactful rejection of Bairui's proposal, one had to admit that it still left Bairui feeling quite pleased.

Seeing Li Kang's eyes growing increasingly bloodshot and his expression gradually twisting, Li Kang thought that his previous words might have produced the opposite effect. Sure enough, Li Bin suddenly pulled a dagger from his pocket and lunged fiercely toward Li Kang's chest.

If you bastards ever cross my path again, I'll take you out on the spot the very first time, instead of standing around like fools listening to you shout things like "Gold Ninjutsu" or "Wood Ninjutsu"!

"I didn't tell Uncle Xiao that it was the Wang family, just so he wouldn't be put in a difficult position!" Xu Li said through clenched teeth. "However, I will never let them off either. Since they dared to target you all, they better be prepared to face the retaliation!"

Discussing such matters with a man still made Wanxi somewhat embarrassed. She cast a sideways glance at the eunuch.

The real reason she left the "Mists and Waves Refreshing Dwelling" was not to avoid Lady Nara, but because Yongqi had arrived. Looking as though she had just woken from a slumber among the begonias, she certainly shouldn't let a child see her in that state.

Just as Zhilan's heart was surging with emotions, the carriage she was riding in happened to pass over a large pothole and gave a heavy jolt, pitching her from one end of the carriage to the other. Scrambling up in a disheveled state, Zhilan couldn't help but laugh despite herself.

"First Squad, assemble!" A roar cut through the brothers' discussion. Zhao Feihu was already standing at the front—no negotiation, all four platoons of the First Squad were to assemble immediately.

Behind him, he carried a similar pack, raising his right hand as he walked before clenching it abruptly into a fist.

Yet, to launch a rash attack would seem foolish. For a moment, the two stared at each other, the atmosphere growing quite heavy and tense.

Prosecutor Lu had indeed made a massive sacrifice. He had sacrificed his precious working time purely to accompany her in sleep.

When she returned to Feng Xiao's house that night, Feng Hao had already had someone prepare a room for Huo Ling.

The first monthly examination of high school arrived, and Yu Ji lived up to expectations, smoothly claiming first place. Her homeroom teacher was even more fond of her, heaping praises upon her.

"Brother-in-law, don't be angry. I just want you and me to have a harmonious and amicable relationship. After all, we are family, wouldn't you say? Hehe." Qin Tian smiled faintly, hinting that Feng Ni should not interfere in the affairs between him and Huang Xian.

Yuntun demanded sternly, then suddenly caught sight of He Yunwei appearing not far away. He Yunwei's appearance planted a few doubts in Xie Fangqing's mind.

With that, he and his disciples departed without stopping to rest. Night Wanderer wanted to say something, but White Impermanence tugged at his sleeve, forcing him to swallow his words.

Qi Mingyu hadn't forgotten that Shen Xi had already met Feng Xiao's parents yesterday. Had Gao Bing not been out all night, she would have called long ago to ask about it.

"At the time, the disciple suggested sending me to the carpentry shop, but she refused. She said that if she were to carry a grown, living person through the city, no matter the reason, she would be arrested and interrogated by the authorities."

Ning Chengxuan felt an urge to knock her on the head again. She hurriedly covered and protected her head, shrinking backward and looking at her cousin with a defensive gaze.

Taking a car to a hotel in Yalongwan with more than enough vacant rooms to book a suite, Ling Zhoutian and his companions planned to go and sightsee at the local attractions.

As for Ling Zhoutian, he woke up the exact moment he sensed Yin Mengxue entering the classroom, though he merely kept observing her in secret. When he discovered that Yin Mengxue was actually looking for him, his heart soared with joy—yet that mood changed completely the instant he saw her frown.

Tang Ze rode atop the strongest jumper, halting near a collapsed wooden cabin surrounded by pockmarked muddy ground and rotting, discarded corpses.

Of course, the main factor was the existence of Samsara, the most formidable and unpredictable variable. Choosing this path would only allow one to cling to life temporarily; why stain oneself with eternal infamy and public scorn?

In the pavilion by the roadside, quite a few old men were gathered around a stone table, playing and watching chess of Go. Amidst the willow branches, birds sang merrily, and cicadas chirped endlessly—what a magnificent and harmonious scene of a prosperous age.

The skeleton entity had long been completely obsessed with the secret array he had set up, entirely ignoring the fact that his successor in the Thunder Bone Secret Arts had been replaced. He maintained the operation of the array, a look of ecstatic feverishness on his face.

An Po's pupils contracted. He spat a mouthful of dark blood and glared resentfully at his own chest, as if gazing upon a mortal enemy.

The Mother Empress saw that right upon Chen Feng's chest, a pearl was slowly revolving, radiating boundless brilliance while devouring the endless nether qi rushing swiftly toward it.

At this moment, Yang Jiao was studying the gourd he had snatched from Chong Heihu. During the previous clash, Chong Heihu had drawn a wisp of black smoke from the gourd that transformed into a wish-fulfilling net. Within it, the shrieks of hawks echoed endlessly as countless iron-beaked divine eagles blotted out the sun in a vast, dark mass. Yang Jiao was trying to figure out how to deploy this contraption.

This string of praises left Yan Qiqing dizzy, completely forgetting that these were all deeds of the original body. She pressed her lips into a smile and nodded vigorously to show her agreement.

"If you don't want to talk... I won't force you. If you want to follow me, then follow me! Stay as long as you like, it doesn't matter!" Xiao Shuyue said softly.

Don't forget, the strongest person in the building wasn't Uncle Gui, but Granny Li. Granny Li's greatest skill wasn't anything else, but her ability to accurately foresee the future.

If it were anyone else, Liu's father certainly wouldn't have asked so much. However, this was his only sworn brother; no matter how excessively Liu Laosan spoke or acted, and no matter how angry Liu's father felt inside, he had never given up on him.

From a physical standpoint, transcending time is impossible—at least, it hasn't been achievable within the last century. However, by utilizing divination and predictive judgment, achieving an accurate foresight of the future is entirely possible.

After all, his authority was somewhat higher than Huang Xiong's, so naturally, there was no need for him to proactively try to curry favor with Huang Xiong.

"In the dead of night, what are you two doing here?" Mu Yunfei questioned them with the stern tone of a teacher.

"Forget it, let Old Niu make the trip!" Jiang Ning suddenly remembered that City X wasn't far from here anyway.

"Let her in, let me see." Since she was an old acquaintance of Su Wan, Xue Qi felt a mild curiosity toward her. All the information she had gathered about Su Wan over the past few days had been incomplete.
