Volume One, Chapter 39: No Harm Without Comparison

Jin Yao's anger, which had finally subsided, suddenly flared up again. "Why are you touching and grabbing people?"

Shen Chaowu pondered for a moment and said,

"Threatened me."

"Picked on me."

"Touched me."

Jin Yao: "What?!"

He couldn't tolerate it anymore when he heard the last part.

Shen Chaowu thought Jin Yao seemed to be the so-called 'white phosphorus' personality that people had been discussing online recently—

A chill surged along the strings of the zither toward Luo Shuiyue, and then a transparent spirit body flew straight out from Luo Shuiyue, racing after the black longsword.

Those people left, attracting the attention of many, but none could organize themselves; among those who remained, everyone had already given up the idea of advancing their magical beasts. What remained was only the hope for rare treasures. At the thought of such artifacts, greed flashed in the eyes of all present; divine weapons—everyone desired them.

Just as the middle-aged man in blue finished speaking, the subordinate who had returned to report at the door suddenly collapsed onto the ground, motionless. His back was studded with silver needles, and without a sound, the lookout had already lost his life.

On the door were originally two knockers, each fashioned in the shape of a sheep. In the middle, their mouths held copper rings, and a massive copper lock hung securely from them.

The naval soldiers of Zhunan were already formidable; otherwise, they could not have transported their armies across the Baoke Strait and so easily conquered the Lion Kingdom.

The effect of Qianjue Grounds in stimulating cultivation was no longer a rumor, nor a sensational story fabricated by the Song family, but a proven truth experienced by experts from every house. Anyone who practiced would long to enter Qianjue Grounds to cultivate.

To focus the tree demon's attention entirely on himself, Chen Li let out a roar and drank a bottle of basic agility potion.

It was only natural that His Majesty the Emperor should be so concerned, for Prince Mu and many other royal heirs were participating in summer training at the navy camp in Yinyin City. It had been over a month since the Dragon Boat Festival, and a few days ago they had received the permission of the palace's lieutenant to board the ships for exercises.

Next, Wu Xin suddenly closed his eyes and began to mutter the secret incantations of the Qin family's blade technique. He drew his blood blade and swung it ceaselessly through the air. In the mist-shrouded woods, a surge of red light erupted, and the blood blade felled trees in its wake, leaving chaos behind.

Dinner?! Upon hearing this, Yu Feifei swiftly sat up in bed, her pupils dilated in a mix of shock and delight.

The apparent combat capability and the potential for wartime mobilization are two different matters. Zhou Jinru wanted to understand just how much room there was for maneuver within these limits.

Zhou Jinru, as if foreseeing events, leaped to his feet. He knew well that the leader of the Destiny Balance was merely stalling for time.

Texas snapped Baiqi apart, hurriedly reached out to grab Angel, and from inside the helmet came a sigh.

"These bandits are truly despicable. You were right to kill them, husband; you have rid the people of their scourge," Shuang'er said.

Zhou Jinru lowered the edge of his blade. Four launchers were set behind him, their barrels billowing white smoke. The operators took turns firing to save on preparation time.

Last night, she tinkered with black powder and woke the whole family with an explosion—except for the emperor, whose thunderous snores filled the courtyard, his so-called 'dragon breath,' more commonly known as snoring.

"Am I that kind of person? I only..." He wanted to say he was simply showing filial piety to his mother, but the words stuck in his throat. Even if Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't believe it, he himself couldn't convince himself.

Liu Yanran clenched her fists. From afar, she saw several good students from her class rushing over with teachers, but among the teachers were some faces she had never seen before.

The underperformer who had taken leave before the holidays this time did not miss the exam and managed to squeeze into third from the bottom, while Xiao Liulang, as he had hoped, slipped back into second from last.
