Volume One, Chapter 105: Lu Yaoyao Is Jealous!!
The party had already begun to gather in earnest. If they had all come, then surely her effort would not have been in vain.
"Come on, let’s give it a try."
Su Le smiled and gestured politely for her to enter.
Yet Song Hongyan had begun to worry.
This invitation had not come easily. Not everyone was qualified to attend.
What if Su Le truly could not play the piano? Wouldn’t tonight be a wasted trip?
Never mind.
She would just treat it as a night at a concert.
With that thought, the two of them walked in together.
At that moment, Lu Yaoyao, dressed in a white evening gown and accompanied by Xu Zhou, was greeting well-known figures from their circle.
Then, a man in a black suit, his face set in shadowed composure, stepped forward.
After walking a little farther, Su Yi could already faintly sense human presence ahead. In the air there was a vague trace of the scent of wine and meat, and from the distant woods, wisps of smoke from a campfire were rising.
"If the senior insists on this, then I have no choice but to report the matter to the Celestial Star Sect, or seek help from friends in the Azure Cloud Sect!" Ye Feng could only intensify the pressure now; otherwise he would never be able to draw out anything useful.
From him, he had learned quite a few unofficial fighting techniques. These were skills Patrick had picked up over long years in the Hall of Honor. Some of them looked ungainly, but they were highly practical. However, these techniques were more suited to subduing an opponent than to taking a life.
She activated every talisman on her person. Under the intertwined glow of the charms, a layer of emerald silk-like strands appeared around Mingxin. Wrapped in those strands, an egg-shaped translucent shield firmly protected him.
By the final moments, blood had begun to seep from Lin Invincible’s eyes, nose, and mouth. Fresh blood kept flowing from all seven apertures of his face.
"You were given a team and a mission, and yet you couldn’t even protect Lin Yu and Feng Ziling. How exactly are you serving as an elder?" Northern River snapped.
These were the bad news. The good news was that Zejin had located the source of the demon essence, and now there was also Lucky Star, that extraordinary helper. The flying shuttle plan still held hope.
"Zhou Xiong, was it he who drove you out?" the young man with the sword asked before Kang Yong could speak.
While Su Yi searched aimlessly, his gaze suddenly fixed on a very old ancient tree.
It was said, in vague rumors, that this place had once shared a remarkably close connection with the Great Luo Sect, the very force that ruled over the Daoist world.
Faced with the soul pressure radiating from within Shen Yi’s body, everyone, including Xin Die, slowly hunched their backs and leaned slightly forward, as though resisting that overwhelming force upon the soul.
To deal with an expert like Shi Qian, having too many people would only get in the way. Moreover, Wu Zhi had his own plans, so he had not brought many men. In fact, he had dismissed the guards who had been stationed here every night before, leaving only a trusted detachment to keep watch outside the workshop.
"I’m only here for acupuncture. Elder Miao, this is..." Lin Tian looked at the people behind him and asked in surprise.
After that, they directly established a tier-three stronghold, their strength surging several times over. In the war against demons, they shone especially brilliantly.
Before long, one could see squads of ferocious undead armored soldiers bursting forth from the barriers around the main hall.
"Please, sir, after I leave, take the post of dean at Qingzhou Academy!" Wu Zhi said with clasped fists. He knew Zhou Shou valued reputation above all, and might not necessarily accept.
"Brother Lin, there’s no need to make things hard for yourself..." Yao Yun covered Lin Tian’s lips with her hand and said softly. Then, under Lin Tian’s astonished gaze, she suddenly drew her hand back, rose on tiptoe, and pressed her lips to his.
"Hu—" Wu Zhi exhaled a mouthful of fire. Fortunately, Li Bo had arrived in time, or he would have spat blood just now. "What sort of status does that guest have, to dare speak such arrogant words?" Wu Zhi restrained his stance and asked in surprise.
At this point, Xue Bing finally suddenly remembered that in his early years, Zhao Yun had served for several years as a general under the great cavalry commander Gongsun Zan, and thus naturally possessed considerable understanding of cavalry.
"That can’t be right, can it?" Long Sifeng said in disbelief. She snatched the jade cauldron from Lao Jiu’s hands and examined it over and over, yet could not see what use it had, nor anything particularly special about it.
"Why are you looking at me? Want a beating? It wasn’t my idea. Go find the third one!" the eldest shot back.
As soon as Amy saw Doris’s expression, she immediately changed her tone with firm resolve. Then, without another thought, she dragged the weak-legged Doris excitedly inside, silently praying that they might run into a four-armed demon there.
Lao Jiu’s decision was, one had to say, bold to the point of recklessness. He had practically abandoned Canyon Pass. All the withdrawn personnel also joined the grain transport teams. In this way, the efficiency of the harvest was greatly improved.
"Whatever difficulties you run into in the future, give me a call. I’ll help if I can!" Zhao Tianming said.
The nose, mouth, and ears all had fine openings left in them. As for the hood, Lao Jiu had temporarily stored it in his spatial ring. In his storage space, he also had a set of divine armor. If he wore everything, his defense would become almost monstrously high.
The people from the Three Gates were not afraid, but they did fear Wang Yunpeng. His desire for revenge was extremely strong, and no one knew what method he might use to slip into the inspection team and seize another chance to kill Gao Wu.
The circular boss in the top grid was also hit by three of his shots, and the color of the circle began to turn slightly red.
He stamped his right foot backward and came to an abrupt stop. His dragon arm shifted to his left hand, and the sudden surge of power caught the master off guard, forcing him back three steps.
The bandits from Double Peak Mountain had also come, but they did not join the Abyss Guard. Instead, they went to the northern side of Phoenix Arrival City.
"Mom, was what Zi Yu just said true?" She wasn’t a child of the Feng family. How could that be possible?
As for Toad Pill, despite always looking half-dead and occasionally pretending to be dazed while acting as though it could divine everything, no one knew when its end would come.
"No, don’t. I’ll get up right away." Nonsense—if he were to settle accounts with her at this moment, then she would truly be walking to her death.
"It seems I’ll have to hurry and recover from my injuries. With this level of physical condition, I’m truly weak to the bone!" Xu Feng sighed inwardly and had no choice but to put healing first on the agenda.
He followed her out of the bar. As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Song Lin, who had left ahead of them, waiting by the street for a car. At first Murong had wanted to invite Song Lin to go home together, but before she could even take a step, she met Song Lin’s familiar look of disgust.
The moment Chen Yan logged into the game, a huge heart suddenly popped up. On it were the words: Special May 20 Event. Fantasy World Conquest proudly presents the most beautiful wedding dress. For details, please see the official website announcement.
She even asked Luo Yiyu to release Han Songshan and return part of the Han family’s assets to him, so that Han Xiaowei and Wu Chen would not be left in too miserable a state.
A few minutes later, Ji Milan held a lunch box in one hand and her coat and umbrella in the other, dashing downstairs with thumping footsteps.
His heart seemed to twist in pain. He pressed that photograph flat on the table, then reached for his wallet. Inside was a baby ultrasound picture, but beneath that ultrasound image, unknown to others, there was another photograph.
Besides, once everyone had learned it, no one would probably go after his planting base anymore, and Chen Junjie would also be much safer, would he not?
Fang Duoduo did not believe a single word of Liu Xing’s explanation. On the contrary, she pressed on, determined to get to the bottom of it.
