Chapter 30

Nan Changqing naturally sensed that surge of heat, yet it was clear he had not yet realized what it was, looking at Qingyue with a bewildered expression, hoping she could enlighten him.

There is a technique to digging winter bamboo shoots. As a native of Bamboo Forest Village, Huang Gufeng was intimately familiar with how to locate the shoots buried beneath the soil.

The stark contrast between black and white gave the two figures, as they locked eyes, an air of dark and inscrutable gloom.

A simple, ordinary phrase of six characters was enough to instantly calm the turbulent heart of Qingyue.

The blood thralls kneeling on the ground were mostly pale with terror, clutching their jade tokens with trembling hands, not daring to even draw a full breath.

Yet, no matter how powerful his vitality, it could not mask the ebbing of his life. His vitality was continuously slipping away; in Chu Feng’s view, he could hold on for at most another six months, after which his death would be certain.

"Very well, since you have agreed, there is no time to lose. Let us depart at once," Yun Tiankong said with a smile, then swept up Ye Xing in his sleeve and vanished from the Sea of Clouds Hall.

Thinking of this, Qingyue withdrew her gaze, her eyes darkening. A smile hung upon her lips, but it did not reach her eyes.

"Xue... Xueyi." Master Wantong, lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and called out the name of Jun Xueyi.

The Old Madam had not concerned herself with the affairs of the household for over a decade. She was truly kind-hearted, never stirring up trouble nor making things difficult for the younger generation, spending almost every day in her own courtyard, occasionally reciting Buddhist scriptures to pass the time.

In the living room, Xia Ju and Sheng Lezhan sat side by side. Glancing at her lover, Xia Ju hesitated, wondering whether she should voice the questions on her mind.

Murong Ruo reached her hand out from under the quilt, moving it stiffly, and like a cat stealing fish, wrapped her arms around Jimo’s robust waist.

Moreover, she did not know what her older brother had done to anger their father, but it was certainly not a problem that could be solved by a few words spoken lightly.

"That is exactly the point! The problem isn't that the seal fell off; it’s why you felt the need to open the box at all!"

That day, when she fell from the cliff, she had expected certain death, but upon waking, she found that she had been fortunate enough to land in a tree.

"I am not entirely clear about what you are saying, but I can keep an eye out for you..." Yu Jie pondered for a moment before finally replying.

Hua Feiye stood on high, looking left and right, but failing to see any sign of Jiuge. He flew down from the corner tower, and just as he was about to ask, he noticed that Jun Yu Moke seemed off—his lips were devoid of color, his pale face expressionless, and his eyes filled with absolute emptiness and void.

I watched in trepidation; if these two supreme masters were to clash here, I would certainly be the one to suffer the consequences.

He had hunted wild boars before, but those had always been captured through the collective effort of the other hunters in the village.

For instance, while traveling, Nanmen Mo and Mo Li would walk behind, casting occasional glances at Di Mochen, who was being carried by Yun Huang.

Once someone has a taste for betrayal, it is never easy to change. Once, twice, three times—the pattern is fundamentally unchangeable.

As she spoke, the pale green energy radiating from Qiao Ru’an subtly intensified, showing signs of wanting to purge the demonic power from within Qiao Jiadai’s body.

"Since you know, do not speak of such things; after all, matters have not reached that point yet." Besides, even if they did, he now had a way to handle it.

"Sister-in-law, my husband has said that we have no money, and that is that. Whether you believe it or not, we have absolutely no money to give to you for my brother-in-law." Shen Wan’s words made it clear to the Song woman that regardless of whether she and Qin Yan had money or not, she would not be getting a single copper.

It turned out that a wealthy gentleman in Lin Town had contracted smallpox. Hearing that someone here could cure the disease, he had spent a large sum of money to reach the Lu family’s medical clinic.

He wanted her to act base, so she would act base. He was her biggest benefactor now.

It was because of this prophecy that Helian Hu was born with a dazzling halo—a halo even greater than his father’s—earning the wariness of his own biological father from the very moment of his birth.

"Mubei! What exactly do you want me to do!" Li Zhengting roared, as if he had lost his mind.

Furthermore, and more importantly, judging by the state of the battle, the Nado Empire, an emerging super-empire, was actually suppressing an established super-empire.

At this moment, a man with a cold, grim countenance and chilling light in his eyes looked at Xiao Junlin and barked a command.

Outside the harbor, there were many inns and restaurants, though business did not seem to be very good lately, which actually proved convenient for Xiao Mozhu and his companion.

Since the other party had no intention of repairing or forging anything, there was no point in him staying any longer. After settling the final balance, Li Kai turned and prepared to leave.

Although Wu Jing and Li Mo had never met in this timeline, his fiancée, Xie Nan, was acquainted with both Li Mo and Liu Yifei.

Despite having no hope for the trip, Enna still showed disappointment upon hearing that there was no news of the two.

Well, from a global perspective, there are indeed many who write, direct, and act in their own works. Not even speaking of distant Hollywood, just look right in front of you—Jiang Wen, for instance, isn't he one?

A few days later, at nine in the morning, Lu Fan arrived punctually at the office of a mid-sized media company in the Magic City.

Feng Youwei sat upright on the bed, feigning sleep, the box resting quietly beside him, unmoved. Suddenly, his eyes, closed for so long, snapped open, and his true essence expanded outward as if he had sensed some disturbance.

The Junzhu of the government office was vexed. Even he, facing the stewards of so many great families and sects, dared not be negligent, let alone when they had all come together to demand an explanation. This was the first time such a thing had happened in Linchuan Province. Yet, the Junzhu did not know that the three provinces of Lelang Road were all facing the same situation.
