129. The Demon Empress’s Schemes (Two-in-One)

During the brief interval while the enchantresses of the Yaoguang Sect were chatting, Pei Xiunian had already leaped into the fray. With Su Zhixiu as his backup, he was naturally fearless, and since she was his "wife" in the eyes of the public, he felt perfectly justified in relying on her support. He raised his hand and cast a move; a phantom of a chess piece appeared in the sky, and as it fell to the earth, it unfolded into a formation vast as the sea. Pei Xiunian’s figure gradually emerged amidst the swirling wind and snow.

Qin Yue nodded slightly. He understood the principle his senior sister was explaining perfectly well, as it was the same philosophy he applied to his own medical practice. It was truly commendable that someone like his senior sister and her wealthy husband, Wang Jianlin, maintained such high moral awareness despite running such massive business operations.

"Speak your mind," Bai Moqing said, her voice elegant yet carrying an air of undeniable authority.

In truth, Ling Yue was indeed a dragon-slaying hero, and so was Taotie, but unfortunately, there were no cheering masses here to honor them. Just then, a figure darted through the valley, rushing past the mountain corner without even glancing in their direction, and vanished into the depths of the valley in a flash.

An Zhixian’s previous behavior had been quite bizarre. She hadn't come looking for trouble when they met at the police station; logically, if one encountered the person who killed their father, they would surely fight to the death. Furthermore, the fact that An Zhixian hadn't attended An Ruhai’s funeral struck her as deeply suspicious.

He was nothing like those internet celebrity types—even the ones who served as bodyguards but still acted effeminate. Although Qin Yue might lack the wealth of a successful businessman and did not possess that condescending aura, Ji Linglong did not care in the slightest.

"I can see you are a clever one. Go with Eunuch Gui, and remember—do not speak out of turn. Do you understand?" Eunuch Xi left, delighted with the silver he had received.

"Ha! You have the guts to trespass on the Lu family’s territory, yet you lack the courage to lift that mysterious veil and show your true face?" Lu Xiongfeng sneered, looking with utter disdain at Liu Mang, who was so heavily disguised that his features were completely obscured.

However, until Shen Yueru was safely out of the palace, the matter could not be considered finished, so she could not yet breathe a sigh of relief. She only hoped that everything that followed would proceed just as smoothly.

Just as Qin Yue’s thoughts were becoming tangled and chaotic, his ears twitched, catching a faint, trembling sound.

One wondered if these words were the honest truth spoken under the influence of alcohol, or if he was simply using the liquor as an excuse to speak his mind.

The Moriya Shrine also featured a long staircase. While it didn't quite match the length of the Hakurei Shrine, its torii gate was adorned with a shimenawa rope even larger than that of the Hakurei Shrine, and the stairs themselves were significantly wider.

It was absolutely not enough; as long as Dio continued to unleash his techniques, a flaw would eventually be found.

Li Shuci did not offer further explanation. People were neither purely good nor purely evil; first impressions were simply paramount.

"That is already the fifth move!" Lingling Yuguan, the King of Six Paths Fist, was concerned only with the techniques of the Dark Evil Body, Jack. That was what made his opponent so astonished! It was too strange!

Could the two of them even survive on this continent? This was no different than murder without a blade; it was utterly preposterous.

He couldn't be reached all night, so why send her a hotel address early in the morning? Did he sleep at the hotel last night and only see her missed calls upon waking up?

For Elder Qifeng, he would rather commit suicide than kneel to anyone other than his parents or his master, let alone kneel to the detestable Ma Dan.

Su Qianqian opted for the usual tomato and egg noodles, while I decided on the old-pickled cabbage flavor today. The Fatty mentioned the pickled cabbage was quite good, and I had never tried it before.

Without losing a single soldier, Huo Yunting had completely dismantled the Xiangyuan Group, defeated Xiang Jinxi, and acquired—almost for free—a project that everyone else coveted.
