Volume One, Chapter 42: As Long as Senior Brother Wishes, Junior Sister Will Comply
“Senior brother, save me…”
Hearing Shen Ruyi’s desperate cry, Chen Fan’s face changed drastically. He was about to ask what was happening when his phone suddenly went silent—the call was cut off. Before it disconnected, he heard a thud. When he tried calling back, the phone was already turned off.
In that moment, Chen Fan lost his mind. He never imagined that in this small city of Jin, someone would dare to harm Shen Ruyi. Although the Shen family was powerful, they also had rivals in business. Could it be an enemy who, upon learning that Shen Ruyi had arrived in Jin City, came here to strike?
Fifteen minutes later, Chen Fan arrived at a standalone villa. This was where Shen Ruyi had decided to move in today, finding staying in hotels inconvenient.
Meanwhile, on the surface, everything seemed calm, but Piaohua’s tone was sharp and dissatisfied, her posture still commanding.
The contest began. The senior disciple swiftly lunged at Si Chun, his long sword flashing coldly as it aimed straight for Si Chun’s throat.
Aside from his achievements, Jiang Ping’an was respected by leaders and teachers at school. He loved the collective, obeyed discipline, was honest and simple, helpful, united with classmates, diligent in study, and humble—earning widespread praise.
Song Siyuan’s words resolved the crowd’s greatest doubts. Their initially relaxed mood tightened once more as shouting came from outside the door.
During this time, the skills Qiqi had taught in retorting insults were just a tiny fraction—enough to handle her brother, but little else.
“Good. Let’s play.” Nangong Ye followed Gu Qiqi’s lead, also making a move in the game.

“Misunderstanding?” Zhang Ming, the police station chief, sat coldly behind the interrogation table, eyeing a sheepish Mr. Qian.
Looking at the motives of these foreigners coming to China, traveling thousands of miles, it was all for fame or wealth—either for money or reputation. If they came for business, it might be considered legitimate, but some refused honest business and instead fixated on antiques.
Years had passed, and not only had she changed drastically, but Jiang Ping’an had also grown dignified, handsome, and spirited.
“Do you have a way to persuade the Flame Empress to help us? I mean help us leave here? We just shut it down, and now we’re asking it for help!” Yun Chen looked at Kaplan and Alice, puzzled.
When Zhang Chaoyi saw Mu Shanglong volunteer to fight personally to help him annihilate the Arab legion, he ordered all the masters and disciples to assist General Mu Shanglong in battle. Thus, Mu Shanglong accepted the command, leading the Phantom Legion soldiers to the enemy front.
“Got it!” Dian Wei and others were thrilled. It was well-known that Hetian produced the best jade in the world, whose quality even outshone the renowned Lantian jade. Yumen Pass was named after Hetian jade.
Suddenly, a dazzling white light flashed. The sudden brightness forced Lei Yi and the others, who had just adapted to the darkness, to close their eyes involuntarily.
The Holy Mother of the West Sea, seeing Pei Long’s kind heart and his rare martial talent, took him as a disciple and taught him martial arts. In a short time, Pei Long mastered his skills and led the people of Tubo in a hunting counterattack, curbing the beast demons’ actions.
The Yunlong Beast and Tianlong Beast guarding Qinglong Pass knew the official army would soon arrive, so they heightened vigilance and forbade anyone from passing. Qinglong Pass was built atop Qinglong Mountain, heavily guarded and difficult to attack.
After hearing the Grand Marshal’s words, Master Huaizhi found it strange. To find these beast demons, he had his disciples disguise themselves as Western Region villagers to keep watch, hoping to uncover the truth. Following their master’s orders, all the top disciples transformed into villagers and lay in ambush.
Gaia was itching to strike Dean but restrained himself, not wanting to cause trouble for Lei Yi and the others.
“Ahem.” Lei Yi cleared his throat, about to speak, but suddenly his expression changed. He sharply looked toward the southeast distance.
Faust turned and made a standard prayer gesture toward Dugu Shuqin, then gradually disappeared through the closed spatial gate.
Of course, it wasn’t absolute. If talking about centralized autocracy, Lingyun Cave was completely controlled by Ling Chutian. But now, the situation was hostile between the Wanling Clan and Lingyun Cave, and Zhuang Jiangen could never entrust them with the path of fusion.
“Of course, I’ll also drop by the hospital later to bring something to big brother,” Su Chanyi said, gently stroking her hair.
The domain formed by the “Lin” technique seemed to exert little control over it. After absorbing the last trace of demonic energy, it turned around.

Gu Yuwei looked coldly at someone who was staging a scene. When you don’t understand others’ relationships, it’s best not to make baseless remarks. If her relationship with Su Chanyi were bad, this provocation would certainly sour things. But now, it was uncertain—after all, both knew everything.
Two horse-drawn carriages had overturned on the ground, surrounded by many corpses. The earth beneath was stained deep red with blood. The scene resembled hell on earth—only humans could commit such cruelty.
When young, the Eighth Wise King saved the emperor and raised him as his own son. Later, when the late emperor had no heir, he chose a relative to adopt. The Eighth Wise King never sent his own son to the palace but gave the late emperor’s own son instead, showing his loyalty to the legitimate lineage.
If he persisted no longer, the day his soul dissipated might see Meng Fanglan embark once more on the journey to find the reincarnation of “Shen Lang,” truly plunging the world into chaos.
Given such an outcome, Zhou Hongyi naturally had no objections. Zhou Zekai sneered but thought the greater matters must take precedence.
Yang Qian stopped, waiting calmly as her heartbeat gradually steadI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
