Volume 1, Chapter 29: No, I Want This Position

“You—you said what?”

Jiang Dong froze, staring at Ye Qingcheng in disbelief.

Had he just imagined it?

Only when Ye Qingcheng repeated herself did he come back to his senses. “I want to publish a notice in the newspapers breaking off the engagement!”

Jiang Dong drew a deep breath, calming his excitement.

He could hardly wait for Ye Qingcheng to end her engagement with Chen Fan. Once that happened, nothing would stand between him and Ye Qingcheng.

That was what he thought, but he said instead, “Qingcheng, I’ve heard that Old Madam is very fond of Chen Fan. If you want to break off the engagement, I’m afraid she won’t agree.”

“That’s precisely why I need your help!” Ye Qingcheng said solemnly. “I want you to contact every newspaper in the city, and…”

Every grain of iron sand around her was vibrating at an extremely high frequency. Unless every possible precaution was taken beforehand, even the slightest graze would leave someone as strong as me seriously injured. As for ordinary people, they might be torn to pieces on the spot.

Qing Li urged her magical power onward and increased her speed, diving rapidly toward Shangguan Hao. She reached out and seized his hand.

Just as with Lin Tian, cuts like these appeared around the Tailor in an instant. As the music grew more urgent, the cuts multiplied and deepened.

“All right.” Yan Yu’er hooked her arm around my neck with an utterly natural air, making me carry her as though it were weight training. I gritted my teeth and held on. Carrying her up to the ninth floor should not be a problem.

He simply refused to believe that there were other transmigrators in this world. If there truly were, things were about to become very interesting.

A deafening boom rang out like thunder. The people’s ears actually began to ache faintly, but fortunately, everyone present possessed considerable cultivation. Though they were affected to some extent, none of them suffered any serious harm.

It was an old soldier’s habit: it was best to load one’s own magazines personally, and to check that the magazine springs still had sufficient strength.

“Haha, you have to stay within the range I can control. Otherwise, there are far too many unstable factors about you. Besides, there are too many people around, and information travels quickly. The current you isn’t very suited to this place; it would be easy for you to say the wrong thing. There are quite a few ruthless characters in this company.” Xu Qingying laughed.

A powerhouse at the Great Emperor level had an entire world supporting him. Completely killing such a person was truly no easy matter.

“Then let’s take advantage of the fact that no one knows and go snatch her back,” Zhen Jiang suggested with a smile.

The man appeared to be no more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight, certainly under thirty, yet his face bore the unmistakable weariness of the years.

With a whoosh, I kicked the man away. That single kick left the spectators utterly astonished.

Faint panting could be heard around him, for the disciples of the other Spiritflow sects had also raised their heads in shock upon the enormous sword.

In her opinion, if the Old Princess hated her so much, she should have long since excused her from paying her respects, sparing them both the misery of seeing one another. Yet the Old Princess seemed impossible to understand. Despite hating her to the death, she still made her come regardless of wind or rain.

From this, it could be seen that the protagonist’s white blood cells had already developed a relatively independent consciousness. They had actually begun reflecting on whether their work was correct and whether the body’s physiological responses were functioning properly. Those thoughts vanished almost immediately, but it was a beginning.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Lin Ye had just touched the place on Li Lanlan that he should not have touched. The people nearby had all seen it, and when Li Lanlan cried out like that—

“It seems you know nothing about power.” Ye Xingchen looked at Gao Hesen and returned his own words to him verbatim.

“Ugh… He really is hopelessly dense. Even chasing after him is this difficult. Thank goodness I gave up back then.” Zhao Lu shook her head and sent Leng Bingru a message.

However one might address her, the Flower Demon could truly restore the Flower Demon Hall only by cultivating a Secret Venerable of her own. No one could replace her in that task.

“That’s how it is. These two brothers of mine are about to release a new album, and there’s one song on it that’s quite good. Su Yin and I plan to shoot a music video for it. As for the content, we’d like to work with you, Brother Yang…” You Zishi hurriedly explained it all to Yang Guang.

She thought about what Mistress Mi Yayun had said today, as well as her unusual behavior and that strictly businesslike attitude.

“Your language is very beautiful, but somewhat complicated. It took me several minutes to learn it, but I like it very much.” A rough voice rang out.

Suzaku narrowed her eyes to a slit and instinctively turned sideways. In the space between breaths, the sharp sword skimmed past her neck, carrying away a lock of hair behind her ear.

Suzaku had no intention of concealing Elder Zuo’s death. She told Hua Xiangrong the truth. After hearing it, Hua Xiangrong sighed repeatedly and could not help shedding tears. It took her a long while to regain her composure before informing Suzaku of the reason.

The powerhouses of the Twin Worlds finally relaxed. It was a stroke of luck; a catastrophe that might have destroyed everything had been averted.

Although Ling Zhoutian had lost his patience, he had not lost his judgment. The necessary measures still had to be taken.

When everyone saw this, they hurriedly rose to take their leave. Once outside the hall, they all let out heavy sighs of relief. They tugged at their court robes, soaked through with sweat and clinging to their bodies. Recalling the terrifying moments that had just passed, they still felt shaken to the core. How could they dare linger? They hurried out of the palace one after another.

At the time, Li Shang had only thought that Mozhu was a mortal and surely could not escape through the Water Gate, so he had not left anyone aboard the ship to keep watch. Bingzhu, however, conducted the search with great seriousness, afraid of overlooking even a single corner.

The coachman nodded in agreement. Though he was from Wucheng Kingdom, he had thoroughly prepared before setting out and was not at all unfamiliar with Dayong’s roads. Before long, he arrived at the Clearwind Tea House by the most familiar route.

Peng Hao pondered for a moment, then nodded. His sister was right. He could not sacrifice the General’s Estate for the sake of a Marquis of Loyalty and Valor who was neither loyal nor righteous.

After all, even the second patriarch of the Ten Thousand Roc Sect could travel through the air. If the patriarch of the Sword God Sect could not do the same, he would have had no right to contend with the Ten Thousand Roc Sect for so many years.

“Poletti, the Racing Emperor? Why? You’ve lived in his shadow all this time. You don’t hate him, yet you want to give him your own car?” Valenta asked in confusion.

After Iron Egg finished speaking, Chen Ning thought for a moment before recounting to Wang Qiang and the other two the Dragon King’s brutal crimes against the fishermen. He also told them what he intended to do.

The piece of rough stone was about the size of a fist. Through his Eye Technique, Yun Feng was also able to roughly determine the cutting path through the raw jade.

“Heh heh, Senior Brother Abbot, why not go and see for yourself?” said a slightly tall and thin monk beside him. This man was none other than Elder Liaoyuan.
