Volume 1, Chapter 40: Abandoning Her

Empress Shen let out a cold snort, her gaze turning even more filled with disgust as she looked at Qin Wan.

"She has committed no fault. Copying scriptures here is merely to pray for blessings for the Elder Madam Qin. If one must point out a wrong, it is that she harbors improper and delusional thoughts toward someone she should never yearn for!"

Xiao Jingyu froze. He understood now; all the suffering Qin Wan had endured was because of him.

Remorse, regret, and apology erupted within him at that moment, but he had realized it far too late—she had already been punished for three days.

As he looked at the huddled figure of Qin Wan on the ground, how he longed to hold her and whisper an apology.

Yet he dared not; such an impulse could only be suppressed deep within his heart.

"Mother, Fourth Miss Qin is the legitimate daughter of the Pacifying Marquis's Estate. You, this..."

"Elder You, you have returned. Who is this?" Outside the mountain gates of the Heavenly Dao Sect, a disciple looked at Wang Tao and Shi Yan, asking respectfully.

"What is this?" Xiulin was clearly somewhat dizzy. Why, after experiencing so much, did it seem as though nothing had changed in the end?

"General Surente insisted on fighting despite his illness and collapsed in the command room just now. He has already been carried to the revitalization pod's medical room for emergency treatment," Tulanduo hurried to say.

A wave of soul power fluctuated and spread outward from within his body, the aftershock striking the Eight-Dragon Tripod and producing a pleasant, ringing vibration.

At this moment, Wu Xing was not the only one in shock; Liu Xiaoling beside him was also staring dumbfounded. Although this was not the first time she had watched Wang Xuanlong fight using the Primordial Dragon True Qi, every battle seemed to make him stronger, and his attacks grew fiercer each time.

Listening, Qi Xin agreed and stepped out of the military tent. Zhang Quan kempt-kowed in gratitude, his heart easing slightly. He had expected to waste some breath, never imagining that Prince Chen would be so easy to talk to.

"Just say that we are doing our utmost to raise funds, preparing to hand over the remaining 17 million taels of silver in taxes to the imperial court," Chen Ning replied.

Enveloped deep within the evil Qi cloud, Yun Feng used his spacetime power as protection, letting the evil Qi ribbons continuously explode around him, shattering wave after wave of surrounding evil Qi, while he remained steadfast and unshaken!

Xiao Menglou gently pressed the end-call button and hung up the phone. His hand trembled slightly; then, with a fierce sweep of his arm, he violently hurled the phone against the opposite wall, shattering it into a pile of broken fragments.

Ling'er said in astonishment, and just as Yun Feng had pointed out, these contribution points were not of much use to her. What she had set her sights on, precisely as Yun Feng stated, was the rank of this Demon-Slaying Token and her own accumulated total point ranking!

"He changed his name to be under Qingqing's registry, but I am Ziedie." Ziedie felt completely indifferent toward the name Qingqing.

"Damn it, you ungrateful wretch! The money I gave you, you sent it home again! Did you buy your phone?!" I was utterly speechless at this fellow! It was simply too infuriating.

Thus, Lin Jingrong and Tongtong accompanied them on foot. The two children had already joined hands to play together at some point, the older brother holding his younger sister's hand as they walked—innocent and romantic.

However, representing the authorities now under the gaze of so many people, he naturally could not disgrace the dignity of a high official, could he?

What he brought was the anemia medication sent by Zeyu's American classmate, which had been mentioned previously. Xiaofei gripped the large bottle of medicine, falling once again into a trance. *Hong Zeyu, why did you have to come into my life?* she wondered.

After coming out, she learned of a new world—a bustling world. Her boss was exceptionally wealthy and treated her very well; her grades at school were among the top. She worked hard, doing everything within her full capacity.

"This sovereign believes Princess Jing has misunderstood. If Princess Jing wishes to know why this sovereign keeps her by his side, she may ask City Lord Yu Qing." Seeing how overbearing the princess was, Qing Zhan grew impatient in his heart, yet found it difficult to vent his anger.

The schedule of two daily updates is fixed, and the drafted chapters are already enough to reach the 25th. I am now starting to write the chapters for the explosive update week. Everyone, come and overwhelm me then! At least 20 chapters can erupt! At least. I'm just saying at least.

The café was the same one Ouyang Yu and I had visited last time, called The First Lady. This café was quite famous throughout Jiangfeng City.

He first went to ride the bicycle needed by his family back home, and coming back to find someone later would not be too late.

He possessed the Divine Tomb Map. Aside from the Dao Extreme Sect coming to rob it twice, the Gu family seemed to have made no further moves. The only members of the Gu family close to him, apart from Gu Yi and Gu Yuyu, were only this Gu Chenchen.

Liu Xiameng and Qing Xuelian looked closely and indeed spotted a soul of unimaginable strength.

Jiu Shen Peak held merely third or fourth-tier strength within the entire Desolate Realm. Once Qing Xuelian broke through the Tribulation Crossing Stage, it would become a first or second-tier faction, yet still fall short of the absolute peak forces. Thus, Qing Xuelian could only see within the Desolate Realm, unable to look beyond it.

After steadying himself, the man filled with murderous intent saw that the attacker was Fang Yang, and the corners of his mouth immediately curled upward, full of excitement and killing intent. Last time at the noodle shop, the man had refused to accept Fang Yang and harbored a grudge over the incident. Having finally found an opportunity for revenge, he would spare no effort.

"Really? We're in the sky right now? Then how did we get up here?" Upon hearing this, Wan Xin was terrified, hugging Zhang Yang tightly and urging him not to move anymore. Seeing that the space on both sides was so narrow she couldn't even stretch her arms out, she trembled with fright.

Damnable thing, every time she saw the breathtakingly handsome face of Ye Youyou at such close range, Su Jingxi could not help but lose her focus.

"What? I called him a wild man, and it breaks your heart?" A faint smile played on Long Linfei's face as he gently lifted Gu Ling'er's pointed chin, staring straight into her eyes and asking.

With both sides maintaining restraint, the tense atmosphere just a moment ago naturally dissolved into nothingness.

To break in and attack directly before the Chinese New Year celebrations were even over was, by any measure, an extremely discourteous act. And Zhou Hengxiang had chosen precisely this timing to deeply disgust Zhou Chunshu—who told Zhou Chunshu to dare disgust him like that?

As a bystander, Mashu naturally could not simply remain an onlooker; without even time to adjust, she wanted to rush forward and help Li Taichu.

Originally, they had all assumed that the ultimate winner of the Lostbelt would be Kirschtaria, but no one had anticipated the changes brought about three days ago by the astral warship belonging to Team Leader Jin Xing · Gardo.

The position where that person threw it was quite precise, striking her right on the head. The egg shattered, and the egg liquid spilled all over her body. Along with the shattered egg was Su Kexin's heart.

"What 'hey, hey'? It's not like you've never been held." Fei Heng remained unconcerned, wrapping an arm around her as he walked down.

Though she understood these people did not trust her, right now, the only people she could trust were none other than them.

"Brother-in-law, you are clearly not such a person. Besides, I am Sister's younger sister, and we are all family. Please don't treat me like this, okay? Mom and Dad made the mistakes; why must everyone hate me?" Just listening to her voice conveyed a tearful, grievance-stricken tone.

That guardsman's family currently lived in the eastern central city, considered a crowded and bustling area. The noise and bustle actually made it convenient for Di Bai to investigate.

Then, he used his own body as a delivery conduit, channeling all the fire seeds within his body through his right arm, continuously sending them into the head of the ultra-giant mechanical humanoid.

She did not want to lose this chance. Regardless of whether the person stepping forward to negotiate was Xiao Yuohan or herself, she hoped this family would agree to donate the kidney.
