Volume One, Chapter 42: There Is a Rumor Among the People...

Not daring to disturb the estate physician, Han Shu stepped out from the inner chambers and waited in the outer room.

"Mother, how is Wan'er?"

Qin Ye and Qin Lang arrived, and the moment they stepped through the door, they inquired about Qin Wan's condition.

Upon seeing Qin Lang, the tears that Su Yan'er had managed to swallow back began to flow once more.

"Second Brother, the physician is currently treating Fourth Sister. Just now, Aunt and I went in for a look... Fourth... Fourth Sister is gravely ill and is still unconscious. Second Brother, tell me, Fourth Sister will be alright, won't she?"

Su Yan'er sobbed so heavily she could barely finish her words. Her genuine display of worry was enough to move anyone who saw it.

Han Shu wiped away her tears as well, filled with remorse. If only she had...

"Sigh, she probably just finds it troublesome. Besides, this isn't bad either—look, she can even scold the king of venomous insects, which only makes her look even more formidable! This is what you call ruling from behind the bamboo curtain!" Su Yajun said, shaking his head.

This answer left Long Ji even more bewildered, yet this overly familiar exchange also gave Misha a subtle sense of unease, especially seeing Daini's overly bold and unreserved intimacy. Feeling awkward about making a scene, she simply dispatched Long Ji to the kitchen to fetch utensils and prepare meals, using the task as an excuse to interrupt the two and send Long Ji away.

He had moved in to live at the martial arts school. Although he did not need to pay for tuition and lodging like those disciples who tried every means to squeeze their way in, apart from being free of charge, there was no real difference between him and the other students.

The two rays of golden light emitted from the two corners of Jin Yi attacked in succession, completely neutralizing the cold beam from the Taotie. A second ray of golden light was similarly shot toward the Taotie, which hurriedly gathered another beam of cold energy to fend it off. Raising its dragon claw, it struck down upon the three clusters of earthly flames, instantly extinguishing them.

Bai Manman's face paled slightly, her gaze flickering with a guilty conscience. Just as she was about to retort, a crisp, clear voice cut in ahead of her.

Ten thousand heavily armored troops relying on the favorable terrain of a city could easily handle an equal number of cavalry, not to mention that the Western Feng Royal City possessed fifty red-coat cannons. Consequently, the cavalry of the Gao Mu Royal City retreated that very day.

It seemed that Lin Yingbin's previous action had somewhat roused Misha; the moment she regained consciousness, she cast an unpleased look straight at Lin Yingbin.

The National Day holiday had begun, but with her mother keeping such strict watch, Su Li could not even take a single step out of her front door.

"Mother, it's Mother..." Before Duan Ke and Ningxiang could react to what was happening, Ilya's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly flew out from Ningxiang's travel bag.

Apologies for the lack of an update yesterday due to various unforeseen circumstances. The author will make up for it.

"Not bad!" Mo Rou said. The two had not seen each other for over twenty days. During that time, Chen Chaopiao had returned to CD City, yet he had not managed to see Mo Rou.

The forces below consisted almost entirely of the Orc race. Every single one of these creatures looked like wild beasts and were exceedingly ugly. Yet the spears in their hands were all forged from inferior iron, alongside a great deal of bronze material. It was evident how attractive the resource-rich Insect Valley was to such an aggressive race.

One had been tempered by the deceitful post-modern commercial society, while the other coldly observed the scheming and intrigue of the mortal world.

A muffled roar echoed as the Feathering Realm expert of the Purple Emblem Sect was pushed back by a single palm strike. His face flickered with a greenish-red hue, and his arms trembled slightly. In terms of pure physical strength, Xiao Xuan held a slight upper hand.

"Amitabha, this old monk is not flustered," Tie Xie shook his head as he took over the conversation, completely unaware that Dengtian's remark was not directed at him at all.

"Rourou, could it be that you want *that*? Let's go, Chaopiao, the two of us will go satisfy her!" Liu Mei immediately scrambled up and charged straight toward her.

"Give me your answer in three days! If you agree, just take a week off from school, and I'll find a martial arts master to give you special training!" Wu Tianhua said.

Without any exception, Chu Huainan's body plummeted straight downward. At this moment, even with all his extraordinary skills, he was utterly helpless unless he could sprout wings.

"Your Majesty the Underworld King?" Upon seeing this skeletal figure holding a scythe, the expressions of the Six Fiends instantly turned to astonishment.

It was rare for these two not to bicker. Kagura gave Utau a very good explanation: undead resurrection was not a simple magic that could be cast with a mere wave of the hand; its fuel could only be the magic power of the Grim Reaper, making it a rather impractical ability for Mystogan.

At this moment, in the sky behind Ye Fei, there appeared the ferocious-looking dark golden image of the Acala Vidyra-raja.

Youyou Old Ghost chuckled as he pointed to a middle-aged man standing beside him, who wore a purple-gold crown pointing to the heavens and was draped in an eight-treasure cloud-light Taiji Bagua robe.

"The South is long past what it used to be; it's no longer something you can just push around. Look at the surrounding factions—none of them have dared to take it on. Besides, if the South decides to cause trouble for us, it won't be easily resolved," Luo Qingxiu explained.

Boom! Following a deafening clap of thunder, the two Taiji doors in the center of the Bagua light seal slowly parted to both sides! Then, a multicolored cloud of auspiciousness drifted out from within.

But worrying about that no longer seemed relevant. He hurriedly pulled out his phone again to dial Xue Xiaotong, only to be greeted once more by the telecommunication operator's polite prompt.

Han Fei curled his lips and remained silent. What could possibly be more humiliating than a contemporary king of special operations forces acting as a robber stealing bread?

More importantly, the instant their eyes met, Kurumi burst into a breathtakingly gorgeous smile, as if she had been waiting all along for Yin to look in her direction.

Li Tian gritted his teeth in extreme frustration, but since the other party's words were true, he had no choice but to swallow his bitter pill in silence.

Putting that aside for now, I searched the workshop and finally collected the shattered magic crystal that Calande had used to record the images.

Excited to the point of nearly jumping up, Dukof restrained himself only upon catching Chen Xiaotang's warning glance. He had never expected that simply coming to Cannes to soak in the atmosphere would actually win him an award.

At that very moment, Alaya's voice descended from the heavens. Hovering high above, she looked down at me with eyes brimming with murderous intent.
