Volume 1, Chapter 46: Stealing Treasures from the Directorate of Astronomy

Qin Zheng rubbed his ears, his head buzzing incessantly.
The Overseer certainly had a rather volatile temper...
Your Astronomical Bureau got robbed, and you can just refuse to see me—why roar at me!
And you, the white-robed Daoist, you look so delicate and refined, yet how could you be so boorish!

Bai Chenfeng cast a thoughtful glance at the spot where Quan Shaohuang had previously stood, swept his gaze over Yun Lanyue, and then shifted it to the Third Prince, a smile playing at the corners of his lips as if he were contemplating something.

Yet at this moment, his heart told him that Fan Yiyi was the most important thing in the world; whatever she wanted, he could give her right now.

Su Mu felt a sudden thud in his chest, realizing that something terribly wrong must have happened, something only he, Su Mu, could resolve. Otherwise, given the animosity between Liu Jin and himself, the man would never have lowered himself to ask him for help.

The loud noise startled Su Mu. He looked back to see several soldiers acting as if they were entirely accustomed to such occurrences, not even flinching.

Fan Yiyi finally snapped back to her senses. She gently pushed Situ Jingliang away, her tear-filled, damp eyes brimming with innocence.

She had spent years stationed in the military and rarely returned home, coming back today solely for Shen Anxu's birthday banquet.

For some unknown reason, she had no desire to speak now. She closed her eyes and feigned sleep, as if wanting to see what on earth he intended to do.

The bizarre fragrance released by the Seven-Scent Bug grew increasingly intense. I could not help covering my nose, yet at the same time, I felt an intense urge to inhale deeply again.

Because she had rushed too hastily to get out of bed, her clumsy movement caused her to injure her wounded foot once more. Yet, putting on a brave face, she swallowed back any cry of pain.

However, this stubborn girl Lige-ba remained as unyielding as a piece of iron, steadfastly refusing to pick up the wine cup. Seeing this, Xu Wenchen grew furious and ordered the maid to be dragged out and given twenty heavy board beatings. The resounding cracks of the blows made both of Xu Wenchen's concubines tremble with apprehension, each terrified that Xu Wenchen might single them out to pour wine for this cold-faced god of death.

Han Yuefei remained frozen in place, not even lifting an arm. A trace of killing intent surfaced on her delicate and pretty face.

Yet on this night, Ruyi waited until the candle flames burned down to their wicks, but the Emperor never came. Sanbao, sent out to gather news, cowered by the door, not daring to step inside to make his report.

Ding Shengnan had never expected that upon arriving at Zhixiang Middle School and inquiring after Lin Feng at the physical education office, she would find Lin Feng nowhere to be seen.

"Present the Underworld King's Token to enter!" echoed the chanting shouts from the Hall of Transmission. Two ghost guards stationed at the hall shouted toward them, and a ghost guard dressed in black ghostly garments walked forward. One of the pale-faced ghost guards questioned them.

"What on earth happened?" The benevolent old man's image surfaced in Fifth Brother's mind. How could Old Man Zhang, who only ever smiled and approached life with such optimism, suddenly be gone?

Or perhaps they should locate their lair and annihilate them utterly, so as to comfort the souls of the common folk who had perished under their butchering blades over the decades.

Upon entering the classroom and looking at the desks, I was instantly plunged into gloom, because the seating arrangements for the exam had already been set up, and all the surplus desks and chairs had been stacked neatly at the back of the room.

Though Tiao Tiao was crying her eyes out by now, she naturally could not accept Yi Letian's unreasonable accusations.

If she were to use the single remaining one-time levitation scroll in her bag, she would feel extremely reluctant, as that meant she would soon have to purchase another one from Chaloup. After all, the Brahma-Armor Sky had not stopped ascending into the upper heights.

I possessed sword qi, which allowed me to shamelessly launch ranged attacks against the boss, and Butterfly Orchid's bow and arrow were also formidable in power.

His sentence cut off halfway and he stopped abruptly. The next moment, Li Xun pulled Yan Shuiyue into his arms, shifted his body to the side, and vanished into the shade of the nearby trees.
