Volume 1 Chapter 26 The Difficulty of the Beginning
Early the next morning, Ya went to find Yu Zi. He was impatient, hoping to forge their marriage alliance that very day so that by nightfall, he could hold his beauty in his arms as they slept. The master of the Big Dipper Sacred Mountain, the Big Dipper Snake Emperor, seemed to have no intention of killing him, merely seeking to drive him away to prevent him from touching the Spirit-Transforming Grass.
"Wow! It's beautiful, it's so beautiful! Thank you! I love it." Lin Chuchu’s eyes crinkled into crescents as she beamed, immediately taking out the necklace to hold it against her neck.
The Gold-Digging Ancestor stared at the sky in agony. At this moment, he felt nothing but regret; he never should have come to this wretched place.
"Demonic barrier!" A black whirlwind formed before him, an attempt to use the power of the demonic wind to cushion the direct impact of the Beast Ancestor.
While Yu Yaoran’s tricks sounded more numerous, they also carried a greater risk of error.
"Put it on; Uncle An will like it." He smiled faintly, the scar running across his entire face twisting into a terrifying, hideous expression.
Yu Zi stepped away from him, stretched, and watched the young master stride away.
"What’s the matter? If you can’t find any good jade, you don't intend to host me tonight?" Xiao Xingyun raised an eyebrow.
The blood-red hue had completely suppressed the gold in one eye—one eye gold, one eye red, half demonic and half handsome.
It seemed someone had answered. Shortly after, Jiang Xun opened his eyes. The people in the room had not yet realized he was awake and were busy rummaging through his bag.
After calling for an ambulance, Wu Tianming looked deeply at Xiao Tian but remained silent.
Mu Gen took out a vine card to connect to the cave entrance, and Sun Jianhui volunteered to be the first to climb up.
The two walked through the corridor, encountering a few junior Taoist priests along the way who all addressed Zhang Yidao as "Senior Brother." Zhang Yidao returned their gestures with a slight, solemn nod, looking perfectly serious.
Shu Yan’s husband’s family was a local powerhouse of wealth. The groom, You Xian, was young and handsome, a graduate of a prestigious university, and lacked the dissolute, extravagant vices common to the typical third-generation rich. It was said that his father had been a good-for-nothing playboy in his youth, only settling down after marrying—though that had much to do with his wife’s formidable nature.
To smooth things over, Tang Xingcheng swallowed her unspoken complaints and obediently showed him the fruit platter.
In reality, who is not repeating everything? The repeated mornings, the repeated work, the repeated meals, the repeated complaints.
Was she dreaming? Watching her face, filled with the desire to grasp at something only to be met with disappointment, was truly heartbreaking.
In this state, where was the feigned fierce glare from before? If anyone else were nearby, they would surely assume this was a couple flirting with one another.
When Ye Tong washed the dishes, Han Che followed her, unable to rest easy, and helped her wash. Dabao squatted behind them, tail wagging, head tilted as he watched them with curiosity.
Xue Cen’s look of hesitation only made her more certain. Just as she was about to speak, Xue Cen began.
Seeing their reactions, Yin Wanqiu also realized something was wrong; she shouldn’t have spoken up in such a situation, as it was likely to incite public anger.
"Mom, in that situation, I would have saved anyone," Gu Tianxi said.
Could this be the person Qin Hao likes? Having met Qin Hao a few times, she knew of his attentiveness, but this was a level of subtlety she had never seen before.
After the Emperor returned from the morning court and handled urgent matters, he finally had the time to receive them.
He squeezed her hand, fearing she might be unwell, then checked her face and reached out to touch her forehead.
After days of ritual refining, he had finally mastered this supreme imperial weapon and, naturally, wanted to show it off in front of an old friend.
With his delicate, handsome features, he showed no sign of panic when facing Hu Hai. Even having snuck into this place alone without being discovered, his cunning and capability were evident.
For a fleeting moment, Qu Ningxi felt a sense of helplessness; even if it were just a fantasy... it was enough to make her panic.
"We saw it with our own eyes. The eight of us attacked him together. With his strength, how could he possibly have escaped?" Elder Hong said.
Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, the giant bat no longer feared Zhao Qiankun and instead began to act familiar, trying to curry favor.
"I haven't told anyone. Among my friends, you are the first to know. Meina wants to keep a low profile; she doesn't want the media reporting nonsense. We didn't hold a banquet; we just got the marriage certificate," Hong Feifan said.
"Great-grandfather, then get some rest early," Luo Xi said, leaving Luo Yang’s room.
"This testing treasure, besides displaying numbers, has another way of expression: leaves and flowers. Generally, you need at least 100,000 points for it to grow one leaf. As for how many leaves and flowers it can grow, I’m not sure," Zhang Fa said.
Liu Fugui chuckled; his mother was reminding him in advance. She knew he hadn't yet sorted out the kinship relations in the village and wanted to save Jiang Zhigui from being hurt later.
After doing all this, if the old gentleman rested for a few days, he should be much better.
Suddenly, Luo Huan laughed maniacally; these raindrops were exactly the domain energy he needed to advance to the rank of Domain Master.
Liang Ye had just received a call and hurriedly summoned both Ye An and Ye Wei. After the meeting, Ye An returned, but Ye Wei never did.
"Brother Fugui, they contacted me and said they only raised 350,000. Do you think that price is okay?" Ping An asked, sounding conflicted.
Once such things are spoken of, once a start is made, it becomes a torrent that is difficult to stop.
However, the nuclear-explosive spacecraft could no longer be built, as that technology was exclusive to the Korean host, and even scientists could not seize someone else’s host like a game. Moreover, building a nuclear-explosive spacecraft required two A-level element expansions.
Along the way, Su Meng had already asked for Sheng Fei’s name. How could she express her gratitude without even knowing the name of the person who saved her?
"Who has ever given me a chance?" Ling Mofeng stubbornly resisted the feeling of being forced.
Walking to Qin Lan’s side, Lin Feng placed his hands on her shoulders: "Are you feeling unwell lately?" As a former top figure in the underground world, although Lin Feng was not an expert in medicine, he was quite skilled in dealing with physical injuries.
