Volume 1, Chapter 24: Have You All Gone Mad?

This filled him with a mixture of excitement, challenge, and even a touch of thrill. That such a bold plan should come from the hands of Qin Keqing, a woman of such exquisite charm and beauty, not only made him feel her deep affection but also gave him a profound appreciation for her courage.

Just then, a pungent, fishy odor wafted from behind him. Immediately after, he felt a chill on his neck, as if a large droplet had suddenly landed on his skin. Puzzled, he reached up to touch it, only to find something sticky and nauseatingly foul.

Greed flickered in Kun Shan's eyes. Although he knew the Hongmen were filled with experts and that Situ Zhengyan must have had sufficient confidence to speak so boldly, he placed his faith in the strength of Sawang.

"You are throwing your life away! If you have no brains, you should learn from me: listen and follow others!" the Dwarf King shouted at the Barbarian King.

With her dowry fully recovered, Shen Wei had little interest in anything else and curled up in Fenghua Courtyard to review the ledgers. She had no intention of looking at the records from the previous few years; it was already over four hundred thousand taels of silver anyway.

The Lingnan Region is located south of the Central City, and within it lies Nanhai City, a coastal city home to the Southern District, where the chaos is most severe.

Xu Lian came before Li Shimin, took the map, and presented it to him. Li Shimin stared at the map for a long time, unable to make heads or tails of it.

Wu Wei did not delay any longer and stepped directly into the light gate. With a blur before his eyes, he returned to the outskirts of the city where he had first entered. Checking his status, Wu Wei found that his 30% health regeneration had indeed returned, and the bread he had consumed to boost his recovery was beginning to take effect.

Aunt Xue’s worry that gossip might spread if Jia Min and Baochai were seen together was, in fact, quite reasonable.

"Are you trying to usurp the throne? Kill me and have him replace me?" Wu Wei asked, puzzled.

Once she had delivered the person to the He family, Cang Sheng’s task was complete. Before leaving, she left three thousand taels of silver for the He family. This was at her father’s instruction; though it was not entirely their fault, it was their tile that had caused the fatal accident, and they had to offer a token of sympathy to be at peace.

Just as he was thinking this, the two figures vanished from before his eyes. Above the mists of Lake Yunmeng, two masses of cloud vapor swirled and merged together.

Originally, she had not intended to interfere in the grudge between the Yu sisters and the old Daoist, but the moment the old Daoist drew his dagger, she changed her mind.

If she didn't open the door for him or answer his calls, would he just keep making a scene?

Her hollow eyes lacked their former luster; she moved like a walking corpse. She only wanted to leave this place. Before her child could be brought into this world, she had to take him away from this cruel palace.

Song Sanniang was startled by her and exclaimed, "Oh! You’re like a ghost, you scared me to death!" She patted her chest with exaggerated, dramatic gestures.

"Jin! Is it you? Have you truly returned to find me, keeping the promise made a thousand years ago?" Mei'er’s vision began to blur.

Dressed in a magnificent phoenix robe and an exquisite phoenix crown, with her eye makeup slightly upturned, Mei'er looked toward Shang Liyou, her bewitching gaze as deep as water.

At that moment, a large man rushed over from a distance. He took out a key, unlocked the copper padlock on the door, and pushed his way inside.

Ripples appeared on the thin film covering the ring, and strange, bulging shapes emerged, like monsters trying to break through the membrane to get out.

Shangguan Zili used a secret technique to summon those she had sent into the Demon Realm as scouts. Before long, the cultivators hiding in the Demon Realm arrived.

"This is something someone entrusted to the Iron Blood Mercenary Group for you. I happened to be leading the team, and when I saw it was for you, I took note of it. The person said this item is extremely precious and must be handed to you personally," Jin Lian said.

Upon arriving at the Daoist temple, Chen Guhong first ordered the white fox and green snake to transform into black smoke and enter his painting. Then, familiar with the layout, he went to the door of Daoist Kaiyang’s bedroom and knocked lightly.

After learning the news, Chen Guhong could not help but sigh, "Finally, they know the pain of slaughter." He immediately decided to wait and see how things developed; if the Water family was at a disadvantage, he would step in to help.

She likely felt that Yan Han was more suitable for her than Yan Shaoqing—or perhaps she simply liked Yan Han more than Yan Shaoqing—so she followed her heart and pushed Yan Han toward her.

The technique of Beast Soul Fusion was not difficult to master; many less-dominant beast-cultivator experts in the Central Plains cultivation world often used this mode in combat. However, the technique had one specific trait: the stronger the demonic beast, the higher the difficulty of completing the fusion.

"You have lost the best husband in the world—devoted to you, dashing, handsome, durable, and pleasing to the eye. Most importantly, he does whatever you tell him to, and he hands over all his wealth to you," Mu Liufeng said with an exceptionally solemn and serious expression.

Emperor Guyang was a universally acknowledged eternal emperor, recognized as one of the top ten in history, with many even considering him among the top three.

Squinting, Guo Xihao watched the three people who had already risen, then climbed out of bed himself.

For Qin Xiao, who had just walked through the gates of hell, death no longer seemed so terrifying.

As long as she blew the red leaf, the spell upon it would activate, and he could be at her side in an instant.

Suppressing her curiosity, Yun Li closed the crystal box and tucked the gift into her Qiankun bag.

A-Ying jumped off the carriage, strode over, ripped the portrait off the wall, and glared angrily at the three mischievous children.

However, when he opened the pale green jade bottle, his inner doubts were instantly replaced by joy.

They had lived deep in the mountains for years and knew very little of the outside world. Now, seeing these two dressed in strange attire and capable of performing miraculous spells they had never seen before, how could they not be curious?
