26 Succubus Entangled in Thorns (Bonus Chapter)

Having said this, Lin Feng feigned a look of listless indifference. The way he seemed to have let go of everything left Bai Muxue feeling anxious.

Yan Niang, however, only glanced back at the Laughing Arhat and then at Zhang Ruyun. She did not move away, appearing reluctant to leave Zhang Ruyun, whose pure-yang essence she coveted. Seeing this, the young man flew into a rage, unleashed another bolt of dark lightning to drive Yan Niang back, and then leaped toward the Laughing Arhat.

As an Imperial Princess, head of the Fish-Dragon Guard, younger sister of the late Emperor, and one of the primary decision-makers behind the scenes of the imperial court, no one could ignore the influence of Princess Qingcheng in the Divine Capital.

This was because, on the very day the Great Qian Bank was established, the imperial court issued a decree explicitly stating that after three months, the circulation of gold and silver as currency would be prohibited.

After the battle of Fangshan, Qi Changtian, having exhausted all his trump cards, never imagined that this supposedly foolproof operation would end in such a crushing defeat, leaving him not even a shred of hope for survival. Upon learning the news from Fangshan, he knew that because he had acted so ruthlessly, there was no possibility of a comeback.

There was another, even more important factor: Li Yan wanted to take a gamble. Although he suspected that Qin Yibai might not be a member of the Yuan family, it was only a suspicion. Even if Qin Yibai truly were not a Yuan descendant, the extraordinary aura he displayed and the effortless manner in which he had pushed aside the Dragon Steed proved he was no ordinary person.

Ming Xi stepped out of the car, retrieved her suitcase, and walked inside. She left without once looking back.

Filled with rage, Qin Yibai vanished and reappeared dozens of miles ahead of a missile. With a surge of his vast divine sense, he enveloped the incoming projectile.

"With so many wounds, you still say you are fine?" His brow furrowed even deeper. She claimed she was fine despite such deep lacerations.

He was wrapped only at the waist, exposing his sturdy chest and long, powerful legs. Though she had seen him before, Leng Huanyu still felt embarrassed and turned her head away, not daring to look at him.

"I’m going to the kitchen to make dinner. Are you coming?" Shen Xin tilted her head to look at her brother. He was usually the one who loved to help the most.

Having been turned down, Li Wei appeared very disappointed. He had originally hoped to use the opening of Fangshui Pass as an opportunity to emulate Qingqiu City and promote new technological industries in Jiwei City.

The servants whispered among themselves, but the butler nearby glared, and the area fell silent at once. Not everyone could act recklessly; there were certain rules that had to be followed.

"Catch them... don't let them escape!" the tribal chief shouted while fighting. They could not let the tiger return to the mountains. This time, they had become enemies; what if the villagers were unlucky next time? They could not gamble, nor could they afford to.

It was likely the essence blood of some powerful spirit beast, or perhaps diluted essence blood of a Martial Emperor.

On the lower part of a cliff in the valley, an electronic screen appeared. It displayed a "Welcome" sign, followed by a menu offering options for dishes, seasonings, and more.

Everyone was desperately exerting their strength, attempting to break free from this terrifying consumption.

Yu Boyan was different from Crown Prince Lu; his emotions were written entirely on his face. When he was happy, he would talk to you nicely; when he wasn't, he would show you his displeasure, and swearing was quite normal for him.

Because Li Dalong emitted not a shred of aura and seemed entirely like a waste, he paid him no mind at all.

"Mother?" The ladies, seeing Madam Wang weeping bitterly, felt their already panicked hearts sink into total disarray.

Cultivators with average spiritual root aptitude were generally absorbed by peripheral organizations established by the Council in the secular world. Those with better spiritual roots received various forms of priority support from the Council’s secular organizations.

After dispersing, the two immediately set off to make the necessary preparations. By the next day, as agreed, they had completed all their work and met within the sealed space.

Before he could finish his sentence, another volley of arrows rained down, extinguishing his life completely. Due to the long-standing prestige of the old chief, almost all the men had gathered at the village entrance, awaiting the so-called Imperial Army. Two consecutive volleys of arrows wiped out all possibility of resistance in the mountain village.

"Within these million years, you should know what has happened in our history, right? Then, you must also know when the Moon Elves will break their seals," the Grand Commander asked the monk immediately.

"Go," Chu Yi suddenly cleared the path. "Go as far as you can! Go! Go! Go!" Chu Yi waved his arms forcefully, as if trying to cast off the root of all this suffering so that everyone could be set free.

Several noble families sent anonymous assassins to attack him. Although Cao Fu, with his incredible luck, managed to dodge them, he was still terrified. Cao Hong, having only this one precious son, did not want him to die for no reason, so he quickly sent him away to take refuge under Cao Shuo.

In the imperial palace, the plants were lush, their oily green leaves gleaming in the sunlight. Counting the days, he realized he had been in this world for three months; summer had arrived quietly, without him noticing.

As for Xiahou, he held a grand banquet to receive Yu Jin and Li Dian. As the three were drinking and making merry, a scout suddenly brought news: Liu Bei, fearing the reputation of the Cao army, was setting fire to his own camp in preparation for retreat.

When Mu Yuanjin arrived at the battlefield with high hopes of earning glory, he was met with a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Especially when he saw the forces of Zhang He, who had been fighting valiantly, being pushed back by the Cao army from the front, the trembling in his heart was beyond words.

"Then let's continue," the leader Canghai looked around at his companions. Finding that everyone's curiosity was enough to kill a cat, he nodded, deciding to continue the search for the truth.

Carrying the terrifying majesty of one who had defeated a God-Monarch of the Saint Body clan, Ye Han’s body surged with boundless, explosive, and horrific energy, leaving all present with grim expressions. Yet, not a single person dared to strike.
