Volume 1, Chapter 64: Your Daughter-in-Law's Name is Shen Zhiyi
"I thought you would sympathize with them."
Hearing Song Huaichuan's words, Shen Zhiyi steadied the brim of her hat and turned her head to cast a coquettish, reproving glance at him.
"Do you take me for such a magnanimous person? Song Huaichuan, I am very petty. In a situation like this, they should be thanking their lucky stars that I'm not kicking them while they're down."
Whoosh! Enveloped in a cyan glow, He Xi arrived before the divine servant Old Zhao in the blink of an eye, just as the Earth Serpent's fatal strike landed.
"What is that?" Faced with the unbelievable barrier of light, even the fierce-looking cyan-faced man could not suppress his shock. It was a phenomenon he had never witnessed before, completely beyond the scope of his comprehension.
Jiang Yin realized something was terribly wrong. How the hell were they able to recite the remaining lines of the poem?
The two sides engaged in a fierce, prolonged battle with no victor in sight. Gradually, the sky grew pale, taking on a fish-belly white hue as dawn approached. At this moment, the white light began to wane while the red light grew increasingly intense. The red light surged forward to suppress the white light; with a single flash of white light, it vanished without a trace. The red light chose not to pursue, and pure primordial energy descended from the skies.
Upon closer inspection, one could sense that those petals were imbued with a formidable spiritual energy. Lü Hao summoned his Painted Halabar, holding it in one hand as he slowly stepped forward. An oppressive, domineering aura emanated from his body, while the great halberd in his hand radiated a scorching, fire-like brilliance. When the two stood a mere hundred meters apart, they both halted and locked into a standoff.
"Since the boss likes it, I'll go with this wine." Liu Huanhuan felt a surge of delight. Thinking of the commission she would make on tonight's liquor sales, her salary for the month would easily exceed thirty thousand, bringing her dream designer handbag one step closer within reach.
Wang Bugui paused briefly at the final stone pillar. The gravity beyond the central region increased severalfold, requiring an even greater burst of vital energy and blood to pass through. The golden radiance covering his body was now faintly intermingled with a reddish glow.
"As one grows stronger and advances in rank, the time required naturally increases compared to lower levels," Senior Sister Mu Yueyun explained as she strolled over.
After all, having grown accustomed to the fluctuations of the Phoenix, she was completely clueless when encountering the aura of other divine beasts. How truly foolish.
Xia Mo was caught entirely off guard by Qin Aaofeng's sudden kiss. For a moment, failing to collect her wits, she forgot what she was supposed to do next.
Zhao Chun rolled his eyes in exasperation. Damn it, Gu Yang was truly courting death. Not only was he trying to pick up women right in front of Ye Xiao, but his target was even a level-eight martial artist!
Although she harbored a profound hatred for Liu Jiaojiao—who had inflicted immense suffering upon her and dragged her innocent family into the turmoil—
"What do you mean I want to save him? I'm only doing this for the sake of my grand-disciple." Palace Master Wuhun's dissatisfied voice drifted out from the inner room.
Chu Shiyu did not walk far, but after such an incident, neither Lu Cuihong nor she had any lingering desire to go shopping. Lu Cuihong had already bought a few clothes anyway, so they took the elevator directly to the parking lot and drove away.
An Yining remained silent, but meeting the Master Huo's half-smiling gaze made her feel that he was acting rather unusual today.
Immediately afterward, their bodies were pulverized into nothingness by the purple thunder, leaving them utterly and irredeemably dead.
Stepping out of the café, An Yining received a call from Supervisor Wang about working overtime. She bought a few stuffed buns by the roadside and hurried back to the company.
Otherwise, if she were to take Cui Yue out onto the main streets and Cui Yue suddenly started addressing her in archaic terms like "my lord" and "this humble concubine," it would undoubtedly attract unwanted attention.
He unleashed all of his fiery power, the primordial fire energy, and the fundamental strength of the Fire Spirit physique to their absolute limits.
"But this time is different. The commotion you made was simply too big; someone from above has noticed!" The Primordial Deity pointed toward the sky, not even daring to speak its name.
This would disrupt Bai Guan's subsequent plans. Mu Nianjun would use this as an excuse to demote Bai Guan.
