Volume 1, Chapter 62: The Eldest Brother and the Crown Princess Meeting in Private
The next day.
Xie Qiqi was dressed up anew by Cuiyun and Chunxia.
Chunxia even thoughtfully applied a touch of rouge to Xie Qiqi's face, adding a hint of vitality to her translucent, fair skin.
The yellow cloud-brocade dress sent by Feng Yongjia was exquisite and fit her perfectly, making Xie Qiqi look elegant and graceful.
"Su Mo, you have a lot of nerve! How dare you return to Tongshi Town?" As soon as Wu Yonglin saw Su Mo, he could not help but shout angrily in a low voice.
A few chuckles drifted out from the ward, indicating that the patient, who had previously been so weak that her breath was like a gossamer thread, was recovering quite well.
After arranging Young Master Mei's quarters and seeing off Feng Zhaoyuan, Chen Zhinan hurried back to Madam Chen's courtyard.
Su Baitong put down the music score, took a leisurely sip of the fragrant tea, and still maintained an air of detachment as if none of this concerned her.
Although everyone knew that the Ten Evils grotto-heaven would inevitably open, the speed at which it happened still exceeded everyone's expectations.
Now that there was simply no time for the two junior sisters to recover their true Qi, he naturally had to take action himself to help them recover. If he remained indifferent at this moment, the man could guarantee that for his two junior sisters, trying to recover their true Qi on their own would be nothing more than wishful thinking.
Looking at the vendor's emaciated back, Liu Changqing sneered inwardly. If he had not refrained from consuming the Profound Yin Lotus Seed in order to refine the Profound Yin Pill, he probably would have ended up like Zheng Gong and Wang Daoyi, as those cultivators had mentioned. All of these bizarre incidents of Qi deviation were inextricably linked to the vendor before him; what on earth was his purpose?
Su Mosu had intended to use the trip to the capital to inquire about Hua Qingyue's whereabouts, and she was fully prepared for the suppression and retaliation from Su Manjiu upon entering the palace. However, she never expected that Su Manjiu would be in such a state upon their reunion.
The blood slave now possessed some magical abilities and felt an endless surge of strength filling his entire body, so he showed no courtesy whatsoever when facing the heretical cultivator. His fists, each the size of a sandbag, punched with fierce momentum, and even the wind stirred up by his strikes was sharp enough to slice a person's skin.
"You dare hit someone?" Zhang Hai was greatly startled, but refusing to admit defeat, he retreated behind Manager Wu and continued, "Manager Wu, look at this..."
Upon learning that life-or-death battles could accelerate one's cultivation speed, Helian Zhui even wanted to run to Tiandu City and kick down the city gates himself. Now that Lin Qingquan was heading to Tiandu City to pick a fight, how could he not follow?
Neji did not speak, but the eager expression on his face showed that he, too, had been infected and was burning with enthusiasm.
"Mercury Guard." A huge mercury shield instantly blocked Alek's attack. Alek's attack slammed into the mercury shield, producing cracking sounds, but it could not break through Bruce's defense no matter what.
At the thought of that wonderful sensation, Luo Xiu hesitated no longer and began to set up the sensory formation. As for this sensory formation, the idea had actually come to him earlier when he was observing the bloodline array of the Mingyu family.
Leonard looked away in embarrassment, only to catch a meaningful glance from Vivienne.
Gong Ruyue stamped her feet in anger, but knowing she was in the wrong this time, she did not dare to act as self-righteous as before, and instead just glared sideways at her father.
Bruce always remembered a saying Dumbledore had taught him: only by possessing a mystery equal to the opponent's can one truly harm them; otherwise, all your attacks will appear completely illusory to them.
A strange and unsettling feeling arose in Lin Qingquan's heart. These trees looked bizarre no matter how one stared at them, and their fruits looked so familiar—it was as if she had seen them somewhere before.
At the same time, when dealing with an enemy with such a hard shell, Unlimited Blade Works, which relied on enchanted weapons for lethality, was the absolute best choice at this moment.
Earlier, when making her minced chicken dish, she had intentionally fried shredded eggs to place on top for perfection, while underneath the minced chicken were finely sliced bamboo shoots.
