Volume 1, Chapter 31: A Pleasing Price

As soon as darkness fell, the poisoned individuals emerged and began making their way toward Bo Yanhe’s location.

Liuyun Tian said nothing. Instead, he silently unbuckled his sword and drove it into the wall, uttering a shocking statement.

Suddenly, those dense, ghostly white skeletons erupted into motion simultaneously, swarming toward Lin Fei and Master Tianling in an unending assault.

It was a shattering blow, not a piercing one, nor merely a strike to incapacitate; a single shot was enough to smash them into smithereens.

"Enough, let us speak no more of this. Prepare immediately to welcome our colleagues from Lelang." With that, he turned, hands clasped behind his back, and walked toward the main hall.

The words she spoke were entirely intended to test Lan He’s intentions. If Lan He showed any immediate change in expression, it would prove she was in danger; if the opposite occurred, it meant that following him would provide her with an extra layer of protection.

Ou Hua, having already decided which card to play, feigned a look of indecision to mislead his master into playing the wrong card.

However, one giant beast suddenly turned, roared at the heavens, and struck out with its claw, sending two nearby beasts flying.

He had only glanced at the scene upon arrival, but his gaze quickly shifted to Nan He. Seeing her sitting there sipping tea with a smile on her lips, his mood improved even further.

Because Lu Su had stated that those who were unwilling to leave would be granted the farmlands surrounding Luzhuang.

The egg thrown at Lagos shattered, yet it never even touched him! How could the same trick possibly injure this dragon, who had lived for several centuries, a second time?

The Crown Prince was assassinated, and Li Shutang was killed—two events that had not occurred in the previous life were now happening one after another.

The Demon-Subduing Seal, a divine ability evolved from the Great Demon-Subduing Fist, was the first palm-and-fist technique Qin Yun mastered.

She was the second person after Qin Yun who left her unable to fathom, making her think once again of that detestable individual.

"Until we meet again!" Mu Yi understood why the system had not redirected the quest guidance along that route, which was essentially a long detour; it turned out that for ordinary players, this path was impassable.

As for Zhao Feng, he would naturally lead his troops to seize all of Qing Province and then march out to contend with Cao Cao for Xu Province.

"Don't blame me for this; I'm truly an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire," Xia Meng said, half-vexed and half-amused.

"Not at all!" Mu Yi was busy plotting his next route on the map, paying no heed to the pursuers behind him. At their speed, he estimated that in a little while, they wouldn't even be able to see him.

A group of monks sat cross-legged before the Buddha hall. In front of them, an old monk with a white beard was speaking in a soft voice. Upon seeing the two arrive, he gave a slight signal, and the great monk Mahayana led Ye Xing to sit cross-legged among the congregation.

Chun Cao recalled Lu Ziqi’s various antics from the night before and blushed. Lu Ziqi claimed to have used acupuncture for contraception, but she didn't know if it was true or reliable, leaving her heart filled with both anticipation and fear.

"If you want to fight, then fight; stop all this idle chatter. There is no antidote, and the new poison I've developed hasn't had an antidote concocted for it yet. Besides, how should I know where your second brother is? Go home and ask your mother!" Li Xiaoshang’s spirit remained undaunted.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, a girl in her early twenties walked over, clutching a bouquet of flowers, pausing with every step and looking around. Judging by the suspicion and uncertainty on her face, it was likely her first time here.

This soft approach proved effective, and she did not refuse; after a moment of consideration, she nodded in agreement.

Fortunately, this signified that Han Jie had long since ceased to care for this dilapidated temple, so he chuckled, grabbed the statues of the Earth God and his wife, and climbed over the wall into the academy.

Of course, alongside those who liked me, there were inevitably those who were jealous. During the annual Master’s Competition at the Magic and Martial Arts Academy, someone challenged me—a mere onlooker and temporary instructor.

Hei Lingge dragged the unconscious Bai Lingge along with the team to escape through this breach of life. Da Feimeng immediately pinched Bai Lingge’s philtrum to help her regain consciousness.

Shan Shan and his companion finished their meal and left, but Tang Tian remained seated. Shan Shan, however, knew she would catch up later.

Yuan Wei did not know that Gu Sui’er had developed special feelings for him while in the Brown Salt Cave. By the time he became a cave slave and she entrusted Yu Yuan not to make things difficult for him and to bring him out, those feelings had become like a bursting dam, impossible to hold back. Now that Yuan Wei had suddenly appeared before her, there was no way Gu Sui’er would let him leave.

The other aristocratic youths, who had initially only been watching the spectacle, finally realized something was wrong and hurried to intervene with advice.

"Heh heh, perhaps Prefect Fang is curious as to why I sought you out?" the Tibetan envoy asked, smiling at Prefect Fang.

The moment the gunshot rang out, she knew that no matter how intense her regret was, it could never compensate for the grave mistake she had committed.

Wang Huaizhi was left speechless. He had assumed that Sir Xu calling so late was to inquire about developing an informant.

Bergman did not care how Zhen Shaolong played, and most of his teammates, opponents, and fans certainly didn't care either.

Back then, the old Prince Li acted willfully, and the Emperor vehemently opposed him, nearly coming to sword-point several times. If Imperial Concubine Xie had not mediated, it was hard to say what kind of disaster might have ensued. But perhaps it is true that beauty is often short-lived; even after the Emperor stopped holding it against them and she was finally able to be by the Prince's side, she did not live long.

With Zhuge Lei backing him, Hao Jiyou was no longer afraid and followed close on Zhuge Lei’s heels.

He finally understood that his husband's talent and charisma were truly enough to make others admire him deeply.

But Tang Jing knew this guy was not a clone, and he couldn't be dealt with in a short time. Moreover, his left hand had already begun to spasm.

Interpol had been investigating the Six-Pointed Star organization for years, but despite sending in numerous undercover officers, they had yet to grasp any significant leads on the organization.

The three finally understood what Yu Fei meant; he wanted them to continuously release magic energy to achieve a certain goal.

As she reached the peak of her triumph, Mu Ye giggled, her eyes glinting with a malicious, sinister, and cruel light. She approached step by step, as terrifying as a vengeful spirit. Xue Hai could not stop shivering in the cold wind. She had thought everything was in the past, but in truth, the nightmare was far from over.
