Volume 1, Chapter 26: Disrespectful

Although almost all of the disaster relief silver has been recovered, the case of its theft remains unresolved. The Song family colluded with the heretics of the Fire Worship Cult, so the confiscation of their property is inevitable.

"Sister Rou, I suspect the boss was a starving ghost in his past life; otherwise, how could he eat so much without his stomach bursting?" Xu Ruolan whispered into Yin Qingrou's ear.

Zhao Zilong naturally understood the subtext of Li Kui’s words, so after Li Kui finished speaking, he simply smiled and offered no reply.

Yu Yanglin was startled. He had never placed much importance on weapons before, feeling that as long as he continued to grow stronger, it didn't matter whether he used one or not.

The door was not made of iron, after all. Liu An’s kick carried enough force that, had it landed on a person, it would have sent a grown man sprawling.

Old Ancestor Meishan was startled once more, his eyes flickering slightly. Meanwhile, Hong Ye, Chang Yi, Chen Qianjun, and Xue Hanli looked at Yu Yanglin instantly, their eyes gleaming with intensity and even a touch of excitement; the four of them even exchanged knowing smiles.

Old Ancestor Meishan summoned the nine-colored vital energy disc again, lifted the five of them, and shot away like a streak of light.

After saying these words, Jing Chuan asked Ao Feng again, but there was no response. It seemed he had entered into a dormant state once more.

Ye Yanqing nodded, for he knew he could not hide anything from the Sect Master, nor was there any need to.

"Yes, we are in the same dormitory. We heard Auntie Li call you 'Flower' yesterday," Wang Ying said, stepping forward first.

Ma Yinxia, who loved money more than life itself, saw golden light dancing in her eyes. *Did I hear that right? If I drink this, that money belongs to me? Wonderful! No, I cannot be so frivolous. Yes, I must not be blinded by money.*

"Since you made use of the forest fire we created, do not blame us for making use of the fire snakes you created."

The person in charge of Edmigir walked over, dragging a tattered and broken body; it looked as if he did not have long to live.

"I know, I will do my best," Shi Yu said, stroking her hair, though his heart felt heavy.

Not receiving an answer from Ma Long, Illya turned her head, only to see him staring at her in a daze. A surge of joy bubbled up in her heart for no reason.

This longing was something that could not be revealed. She had resisted him so fiercely, yet in the face of death, she wanted to die in his arms. If this were to be spoken aloud, she truly would have no face left to live.

Every word she spoke was in his best interest. Zhan Yi was stunned, suddenly feeling a bitter taste in his mouth, and for a moment, he was speechless.

Upon hearing this, Ke Le chuckled softly, then let out a faint sigh. Following the strength of Gu Xiao’s arm, she was drawn into his embrace. This was likely the most harmonious embrace they had ever shared.

"Princess Lingshan and Zhiqing had met a few times in Qingzhou; they are old acquaintances, so she was perhaps just a bit excited to see me—we are, after all, from the same hometown," Liu Ye-ye said, coming to her rescue.

"Impossible... how could you be so strong?" Yan Bizhen’s aged face twisted into a look of absolute ferocity. She had never imagined that there could be such a formidable low-level Saint Venerable.

Xuan Yuan was gripped by a sudden panic, fearing that he might lose the two of them, Su Ying and her companion. He immediately channeled his internal energy and gave chase.

Furthermore, to be able to rescue someone from the encirclement of so many guards without engaging the crowd, and without even allowing anyone to catch a glimpse of his form—Jin Baiwan was certain that even You Xiaotian could not achieve such a feat.

At this moment, Gunbao also leaped in through the door. But before he could even land, Lu Yuan pulled him with his right hand, and then their figures flashed and vanished from the doorway.

Mo Li had exhausted all his strength. Seeing his remaining soul on the verge of shattering completely, while Yaoguang’s star soul still retained a sliver of essence, he realized that if this continued, both he and Fiona would be in danger.
