Volume One, Chapter 75: She Has Already Died Once for You

Yan Qiuning found the food at this restaurant quite delicious. It was rare for her to have such a good appetite.

She glanced at Yang Qian, who was visibly anxious. “The agreement’s already been signed. However urgent it is, all we can do is wait.”

“You must trust that your sister will not remain foolish forever.”

Zhao Yun’s expression was grave, but he was equally unwilling to admit defeat. The Dragon Gall Silver Spear in his hand spun rapidly, instantly conjuring countless shadows of the weapon.

Yet, just as he was about to speak, he swallowed his words, holding his sister’s shoulders, unable to bear pushing her away.

“Still, we can’t be careless. What if that demon beast is incredibly powerful? With your meager cultivation, you might have been better off never starting this path,” the man’s wife remarked.

Everyone was watching the bride’s every move. Naturally, Xiao Lingfu couldn’t keep her eyes fixed on Wei Ziwu, so she only glanced her way twice before looking away.

“Do you know each other? Is there some past grudge between you?” Ji Muqing’s two questions left me speechless.

Seeing Jin Ke about to act, Wen Shu hurriedly rushed out to stop him, regretting bringing him along every step of the way.

At that moment, the Beast Emperor’s tail was severed by Fang Ping’s blade, shattering the Sixth Heaven. The emperor was now desperately struggling to suppress the chaos, with no time to pay any attention to him.

If anyone else had said such things, they would never have believed it. But since it was Xiao Anran who spoke, the reaction was entirely different.

In the afternoon, Wei Ziwu, Lady Ling, and Mu Ding with her son changed into mourning attire and went to the memorial hall at the Duke’s residence.

“Of course. Truthfully, even without this matter, I might have come anyway. The director of the capital’s First Hospital knows me. He might invite me to treat Elder Song,” Ye Mang said slowly.

“Is something the matter?” Ling Lie was delighted by her initiative to call. He glanced at Guo Mengyao, who had just fallen asleep. He wanted to get up, but her hand still gripped his. He dared not raise his voice, afraid of waking her.

He found a police officer at the station with whom he had some acquaintance and learned the situation. Someone had reported that Third Brother was privately trying to interfere with a witness’s testimony, suspected of colluding, destroying, or fabricating evidence. As a result, his bail was revoked and he was remanded directly to the detention center.

Everyone’s attention focused on him. He swept his gaze around the room, then deliberately looked at Yao Yi, as if trying to discern something from her expression.

The war of words between the two didn’t last long, nor was it particularly “brilliant.” Sima Hui seemed intent on testing Xie Xin’s true abilities, so he didn’t use any skills or enhancements, relying solely on offense and defense. When things got rough, he simply fled, making the entire debate legendarily dull.

Regulations required a change of driver at this location. Long Xiaotian, who had been waiting for some time, shifted from the passenger seat to the driver’s spot. Once Yi Yang climbed back in, he floored the accelerator, and the vehicle shot out like an arrow.

Sigh... The scholar let out a long breath and turned to walk back. He dared not look over his shoulder, lest those sorrowful, doll-like eyes under the blue veil met his own.

The Yamata-no-Orochi was indeed massive, but when Qin Tian unleashed the Dragon Soul with all his might, the instantaneously formed golden mist dragon seemed nearly ten meters longer.

What was strange, though, was why she didn’t reveal her own identity. Wouldn’t venting her anger that way be the best revenge?

Given the circumstances, Qin Qiang naturally couldn’t be stingy. With such an outstanding son, the Qin family was no longer what it once had been.

This fellow really thought Wu Xuanming would kindly help him, so he hurriedly pulled out a battered phone to search for a number. But just as he looked up in delight, ready to call it out, he suddenly realized he’d been tricked.

Lin Tiannan and Liu Mang no longer dared to remain seated at ease; they all rose to greet Bu Feifan.

“If you want to change Kexin’s surname, let’s get it done together,” Xin Kenong said gravely.

“He’s a remorseless killer. With so many talented young men in Fenglin City, why would you choose him? Isn’t that courting death?” Whenever Ye Qingchen was mentioned, Wei Han was filled with dread and couldn’t understand what Wei Ru saw in him.

Qiu Lin watched the three walk away, feeling no particular emotion—only thinking how unfair it was for Li Huan to have been burdened with such a family.

Naruto’s joy was evident. The shadows at the corners of his eyes faded, and his pupils returned to normal.

Xiao Jing turned her head away. She thought she might have stood a chance one-on-one, but against three opponents, she wisely chose to stay put.

He had always longed for the throne, but now that it was within reach, he felt a sudden timidity. Was he truly prepared to be emperor? Was he fit for the role? He’d never considered these questions; all he’d ever thought about was how to seize power.

And now Acheng actually still harbored hatred. Well, so be it—since you can still hate, hate all you want. There will come a day when you won’t even have the strength for that.

Many wondered how Feng Chen managed to find her, but only scant details emerged. It was said to involve some wondrous formation that trapped Nangong Jin in the depths of the forest. Fortunately, Feng Chen had enlisted Master Guiguzi to break the array and rescue her.

The elite class of ninja were being trained with the goal of becoming the backbone of Konoha in ten years’ time.
