34. Older Sister

Nangong Yangcheng, lying helplessly on the bed, and Nangong Yaoyao, being tormented by Luo Wuwei, seemed to have caught sight of their savior. Their eyes were filled with indescribable shock.
“You’ve finally come out.” A voice suddenly sounded behind Yang Shaojie. Startled, he leaped up in fright. How could that voice have appeared here?
The Armored Carapace successively devoured the talents of Darknight and Venomous Sting, evolving into a terrifyingly powerful Dark Knight.
As dawn broke, the blackness covering the Netherworld faded away, revealing once more the form of a green-clad youth. His gray eyes regained their former clarity as well.
After all, no matter how one looked at it, He Chuan had once been an important figure in the Magic City. If his information were leaked, it would cause considerable trouble for Qingfeng City.
“I was truly astonished just now when I saw Mr. Jiang identify the spirit formation hidden here at a glance,” Wei Linger said.
Sun Li understood Jiang Huairen’s meaning: Jiang Huairen intended to train them. They had witnessed Jiang Huairen’s strength themselves; if he taught them, their power would certainly improve by leaps and bounds. At the thought, Sun Li looked forward to it eagerly.
Gu Qi merely stared at Jiang Feng. Seeing that Jiang Feng was no longer looking at Iris, he returned to his seat and ignored everything Hong Ding said.
Although He Chuan badly wanted to clarify his relationship with Xiao Mo, judging from the current situation, that was probably impossible.
“Nearly three hundred men from the seven mercenary groups, plus three thousand ordinary soldiers from the Third Legion. They’re all using trucks—nearly two hundred of them in total. It counts as a fairly large-scale transport operation.”
Seeing Wang Chen’s gaze, Saeko Busujima’s pretty face flushed faintly. Yet she walked over to him without hesitation and stopped at his side. Her beautiful eyes were filled with curiosity as she looked at Wang Chen, wondering what this so-called “surprise” might be.
The inner hall was fairly spacious. The Netherworld Patriarch sat cross-legged in the seat of honor, his enormous ritual robe spread wide around him, giving him an imposing air. Wisps of green smoke drifted from the robe from time to time, clearly indicating that it possessed some unknown function.

I nodded. I had only glanced at it just now, and although I had not been able to see everything clearly, the name column had still caught my eye.
Cang Yun looked at the young man. He was not tall, with short hair and a slightly hoarse voice. Quite handsome, he had a round-faced middle-aged man accompanying him.
There had once been a freeloader in the early Sixth Meridian Realm who, in front of An Yu and the other two, not only refused to repay his contribution points but also shouted abuse and incited everyone else to oppose An Yu. His cultivation was profound, and his mastery of the Infinite Ring was likewise considerable. In theory, he should have been able to kill the three of them effortlessly.
Having found nothing of value, the three were about to search a little longer when heavy footsteps suddenly sounded outside, approaching from afar. It was Lord Jin from earlier. An Yu hurriedly straightened the letters, and just before pushing open the door, returned them to their original place.
Even while waiting in the hidden compartment, Cang Yun and the others could feel strange waves emanating from the Bright King. The entire Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation trembled in response. Everyone’s expression grew solemn as they watched developments in silence.
For a wandering cultivator to make it into an auction of this level without a certain degree of discernment was simply absurd. He hurriedly put away his spirit stones, rose, and left, going to the back to find a seat.
Of course, this fondness was entirely different from what he felt for You Li. At most, it could only be called admiration.
Court officials, powerful clans, and eminent families all lost their heads in those great purges. The Eastern Palace of the Crown Prince, the Yong Prince’s Residence, and the Ying Prince’s Residence were not spared either. Countless people were executed.
They spent nearly two days preparing everything properly. With so many bodyguards protecting them, no accidents had occurred for the time being.
After several days of exhausting work and too little sleep, Jin Yan developed a low fever accompanied by a violent cough. I forced him to lie down and rest. Only after seeing that he had fallen asleep did I quietly leave with Xing Feng.
“Jin Yan! You…” My face flushed all the way to the roots of my neck, and for a moment I was too powerless to argue back. I wrapped my clothes tightly around myself and stormed forward.
Qiu Ming casually tossed out a pill. He had plenty of such low-grade pills, and they were easy to refine. Usually, he kept them as rations for his equipment, but after the equipment learned the Howling Celestial Hound’s cultivation technique, these pills would no longer be of much use.

Looking at the pineapple-like fruit covered in patterns within the Two-Dimensional System, Wang Kai was completely satisfied. When the time came, he would give Minty some guidance and help her fully develop the abilities of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Lightning possessed the greatest variety of functions, so Minty’s strength was sure to rise considerably this time.
“From now on, don’t touch my things carelessly, and don’t lose your temper with me.” Jin Yan’s tone remained exceedingly calm, utterly free of agitation.
I glanced at it and instinctively frowned, then hung up the phone. The eldest sister immediately seemed to understand something from my expression. She gestured for me to follow her to the balcony, evidently wanting to discuss something with me.
On the day of the grand wedding, the Gu Residence hosted a great many guests, and the festivities were as lively as when Ning Shan had married into the family before the New Year.
If he were still the same man who had once been free of all attachments, she would certainly have believed that he would follow her wherever she went. But what about now? He had a wife and children, and the entire Gu family rested upon his shoulders. Bearing so much responsibility, could he still let go of everything and remain with her in the afterlife?
Judging from the situation, the Sea King seemed to have made all the necessary preparations and intended to fight Wang to the bitter end.
“The world of love has never been fair. That is precisely why love has value. If it were fair, it would not be love but a transaction.” Wang Wen spoke to Ye Feng with deep feeling.
“I’ll get up, Xiao’er. I’ll listen to you. From now on, please don’t hold a grudge against me.” Xuanyuan Wei softened his voice and pleaded humbly.
“My dear Li, take the three of us with you to Qiantang this time. Betty has never been there, and my sister and I can show her around,” Yiling said. Yiling and Miaorui had both been bought by Ye Wan from a Qiantang brothel, so naturally they knew the sights of Qiantang well. Seeing that Li Ye was preparing to go there, they wanted to accompany him and revisit the old place.
