Volume One, Chapter 26: Sword Dance

Shang Runyu’s eyebrows and eyes curved into a smile. If it weren’t for Shang Yinqiong noticing the playful glint in her eyes, one might truly think it was a scene of deep sisterly affection.

“Oh? Shang Yinqiong has come today as well?”

After the flames were cleared, the ripple did not vanish but instead slowly advanced toward Shen Bodang. The thick fog along its path was drawn together by the ripple, only to scatter immediately once gathered.

One thing was certain: if these assets were made public, Chen Taiping would instantly surpass the world’s richest man.

The off-road vehicle they drove had been modified by Gu Baozhu, boasting sufficient safety features and a powerful engine. Even traversing through the wilderness, it remained as steady as a mountain.

Almost in an instant, the flames surging around Shen Bozhou were lightly dispersed by the ripple. Yet, instead of dissipating into the air, the scattered flames were drawn back together by the ripple, reforming into a terrifying fiery assault that struck Shen Bo directly.

Vivian found his trembling figure amusing. If anyone thought this was remorse, they were gravely mistaken. He was simply afraid of death, hoping to soften hearts with tears.

Zhao the Fool and his parents had all been taken by the police. Captain Zhao hurried to inquire about the situation. Zhao Lao Si was his own younger brother; he couldn’t just let him be taken away without explanation.

This was her firm conviction. Even if it meant forsaking the truth, she would never agree to anything that violated her faith.

There was nothing to complain about. Being able to recuperate in this world for a full six months had already far exceeded his expectations.

After an unknown length of time, Qing Guan slowly fell asleep, leaning tightly against the man’s chest, as if letting go would mean disappearing.

“I know. I came here to apologize to you; nothing else, I dare not ask for more,” Adams said, clearly frustrated. The relations between the two clans had just begun to warm, and his relationship with Shelley had eased. If all went well, everything would be fine going forward. But Percy, that fool, thought himself clever.

“I don’t know. Aunt never mentioned anything. But if anyone’s most likely to harm grandpa, it should be Aunt,” Xue Ying said helplessly.

Then, amidst the still flying blade lights, Li Tian reached out his left hand. Blue light illusions like eagle claws targeted none other than Yang Ningzhu from the Tianxing Sect.

Carrying a heavy melancholy, Long Buli hadn’t noticed, nor had others. In their distraction, the Ghost Tiger King’s figure vanished from the spot.

After the spring plowing ended, the hunting team finally embarked on their first hunt of the year. For some unknown reason, the Wangdu clan did not appear at the camp as in previous years. But for the Chang Gong clan, their absence was a blessing.

Gu Ruxue’s nail, painted with cardamom, had already broken under her force, her expression extremely grim.

“You really disappoint me. If you’re afraid of losing your position, just pretend I never said anything. You may go. From now on, we’re done,” Hua Tiancheng said, sighing deeply as he sat down with his back to Gu Zhengrong.

Tian Yan Qianfan’s eyelid twitched violently. Although he had guessed it, hearing Ye Zishan say it aloud still shocked him greatly.

Looking at this fiery cloud weed, Lu Buqi’s image of a “fox spirit” was completely shattered. He had thought fox people could have ordinary appearances but never imagined a fox person could behave so disgracefully.

“No matter what, I won’t give it,” Mo Xun said stubbornly, his stomach suddenly growling.

Though his family wouldn’t beat him, he was old now and no longer favored. How could he possibly have any money?
