34. Thinking of a Name

This frightened Princess Fire Phoenix so badly that, upon reaching her thousandth-year coming-of-age ceremony, she hurriedly married her fiancé, Jitian, in order to escape the Demon Venerable’s relentless pursuit.

Ye Qinglan added her Penguin account as a friend and received a reply almost at once.

The voice was not loud, but it sounded urgent. “You do not understand Chinese characters, do you? To give something up is to gain something else. If you cannot let go, how can you ever receive?”

After all, as for that matter, the only ones truly hurt were her and Xu Weimiao. Mo Zixi merely needed to find a way to save face.

From afar, Lu Xun watched Gao Ping charge left and right through the formation as though it were no man’s land, displaying even greater prowess than Guan Xing. His heart filled with delight. He had never imagined that, after Gan Xingba, such a fierce warrior would appear among the troops of Eastern Wu.

Xi Lingqian had always liked Feng Yanxiao, but all of Feng Yanxiao’s thoughts were devoted to figuring out how to seize power from the Regent. How could he possibly spare any attention for her?

Yet on second thought, how could anyone take the pleasures of flowers and moonlight seriously since ancient times? “I would still say yes. Once I have the company running smoothly, I will hire you over there. The salary will be one thousand.”

“You can also learn by watching television and reading newspapers. I am no cleverer than you; I learned the same way.” Master Zhou was growing impatient. In a tone almost like an interrogation, he demanded, “Team Leader Kong, tell me when the shares can be issued. Do not give us any more empty formalities.”

He knew that Ye Qinglan did not like him—she had not liked him before, did not like him now, and never would in the future.

After leaving the Jiang family, Liu Quansi walked straight along the streets of Dongyu City. At an intersection, he turned and entered a teahouse. He went upstairs to a window seat, ordered a pot of fine tea, and sat down.

It was a mountain valley surrounded by lush vegetation. Looking up, one saw green peaks and emerald valleys. Though autumn had already arrived, the valley remained as warm as spring, with flowers blooming everywhere and fragrance filling the air.

“Ling Yu, it has already been a year. But... every time I think about it, my heart aches!” Zuo Xiongfei said.

Just as Li Yan was preparing to practice without pause until he could control eight columns of water at once, making them coil and move freely around moving targets, Fatty Haji and Melinda arrived with their families to seek refuge with the Starshine Mercenary Corps.

The latter naturally wished with all his heart for Song Duanwu to blow his own head off with a single shot. Yet of the six rounds in the magazine, three bullets still remained, which meant there was, after all, a fifty percent chance.

“Mengzhu, why have you come back? Weren’t you following Young Master Li to the northern lands? Now... now why have you returned?” Alan stammered.

Ji Qing slowly set Mengzhu down. The two raised their heads, but the intense light made it impossible to open their eyes. Ji Qing lifted a hand to shield himself from the glare and looked across. In an instant, his face turned deathly pale. Behind the blinding light was a pair of predatory black eyes, and behind them stood a line of guards holding long spears, every muzzle aimed at the two of them. Ji Qing’s body swayed, and he nearly collapsed.

At a moment like this, the slightest disturbance could provoke Du Zilong into acting rashly, and Zhao Gan could not be bothered with that pathetic man anymore.

Only Xie Jun and one other remained seated. In the hall, where the remnants of tables and chairs lay strewn in disarray, he continued to sip his tea with perfect composure, utterly ignoring everyone around him. A tube of bamboo chopsticks rested within easy reach.

At that moment, the Black Dragon Patriarch stood more than a dozen yards tall, his entire body wreathed in surging, burning magma. Dense demonic energy billowed around him; even the Black Demon God from before had never possessed such a terrifying concentration of it.

It seemed Ao Yi had feelings for Jun Qi, while Jun Qi was not interested in him at all. No one knew what kind of day it was, but this group had gathered here tonight to lay the matter bare. Jun Qi, however, had pulled him over to act as her temporary boyfriend, deliberately putting on a show for Ao Yi.

East of the fortified city on the route toward Jingxiang stood four steep ridges, high and precipitous. The mountain path was so narrow that two riders could not pass side by side, forming a natural shield for Wuguan.

Confronted with Caoqiao Pass, which relied on its rugged terrain for defense, and with Wuqiu Jian serving as commander, there was basically little room to employ any extraordinary stratagem.

“But if we do that, all the gentry and common people in Wuchang City will keep their eyes on us. How are we supposed to train soldiers outside the city?” Li Sixian asked anxiously.

Since they had already agreed to dine together, sooner was better than later. That very evening, the two of them were already seated at the dinner table.

As he spoke, Axiong hurriedly picked up Han Chunlei’s packed luggage and headed downstairs, as though afraid Han Chunlei might change his mind.

Tang Keke could only gaze deeply at Xiao Bohan. This man had given her a chance at a new life, and she was determined to seize it and cherish it.

In his desperation, Lin Chuxiong swung the plum-blossom spear in his hands and held it before himself as a shield. Then, with a loud bang, Ge Yu’s immensely powerful Phoenix Demon Saber sent Lin Chuxiong flying.

“I understand that principle.” Zhang Tianyi chewed a peanut and took a sip of wine. “Understanding a principle and putting it into practice are two different things. Uniting knowledge and action—doing is harder than talking.”

This was Europe, the place where she had been born. After suffering grievous injuries, Qianweiji chose to return here to recuperate and rebuild her strength.

Zhang Yifeng could scarcely believe his ears. The other two important ingredients for Life Number One were actually konjac and noni?

“What happens after a hundred days? Once my illness is cured, will I be able to kill people again?” Iron Man asked.

“That is connected to the history of Luo Xing Island. The people of Luo Xing Island and the Giant Beast Clan should be hereditary enemies,” said the Supreme Sovereign of Baiyin.

That shout just now came from his displeasure that Pudu Cihang had struck first. He had immediately used telepathy, waking Fu Tianchou and the others from the Soul-Seizing Sanskrit Chant. Strictly speaking, they had gained an unfair advantage.
