Volume One, Chapter 49: A Belly Full of Fury

Fu Heng’s dark, brooding gaze fixed on her. After a long silence, he raised his hand to snatch it away.

Bai Xuanxuan tapped his hand, frowning as she looked at him sharply. “If you ruin someone else’s clothes, shouldn’t you compensate them?”

Yun Mo knew that if she forced her way through, she stood no chance at all, so she slowly placed the firecracker she held onto the ground. Then, stepping back cautiously, she lit the fuse and immediately darted in front of the guest room, her eyes locked tightly on the two men in black guarding the doorway.

Of course, Su Muyue remained unaware of Sikong Yan’s plan, for she had already fallen soundly into a deep sleep.

Yao Qing’s sharp gaze swept around. Seeing the four young guards pale and bleeding from their mouths, his imposing face instantly grew stern.

“So, are we just going to accept defeat like this?” Though no words were spoken in protest, it did not mean Feng Rong would concede. The Right General spoke with resolve.

Their lips met closely; Shangguan Jinglan pried open her mouth, his tongue penetrating deeply, while his other hand slid around her slender back.

She had never before encountered so many nightmares, to the point where she once wondered if she might die again at the hands of one.

At that moment, an overwhelming fatigue surged through her, her head buzzing with dizziness, her complexion turning deathly pale.

Luo Xi wiped sweat from his brow, thinking inwardly, how could he possibly have fallen for such a fool? So dumb—who would casually flirt with him out on the big field? He glanced at himself, utterly mortified.

The distant sound of opera drifted softly to her ears. Lu Qingqing’s face darkened as she grabbed a handful of nuts and shoved them into her mouth, venting her frustration.

Moreover, since Pei Moyan and Tang Wanqing were not together, should she still give up on Pei Moyan? The thought struck her sharply, and she suddenly felt utterly degraded in this relationship.

Bai never ran out of reasons to say she liked Mumu, the most important being that being with Mumu brought no worries.

Lin Tian had never touched formations before. He had just flipped open the first page without even reading it and didn’t know if grasping the second level would be difficult. But judging by how hard the first item was, it was clear even without thinking that formations were definitely tough to cultivate.

“All these figures carry an aura…” The Holy Emperor was also startled, not expecting Lin Tian’s move to be so extraordinary.

The so-called preparation was actually just eating. Peng Hu seemed to love food, which seemed incongruent with his cultivation level, but this pleased Xia Tian, and their relationship gradually improved.

He looked inward and discovered that his Golden Core had begun to transform. The change was immense, with a radiant glow flickering on the surface, as if something inside was trembling.

“What? You said Purple Lightning? Again with the Purple Lightning? It must be that demon dragon. I heard that when Qing Di subdued the demon dragon, it once used Purple Lightning to harm him. So it must have been responsible for Father’s death,” Chi Yao’s face flushed with righteous anger as he firmly declared after hearing Jiang Baicao’s words.

“I’ll offer ten thousand gold coins! The God of War died unjustly; those of us still living must ensure he departs with honor!” a portly merchant shouted even louder.

Yu Guantong spoke each word deliberately, like venom seeping into the marrow, a deep discomfort stirring within her heart. She wondered if she wasn’t ruthless enough, as she still vaguely felt the nauseating sting of humiliation.

“Shut up! You have no right to blame me—I will kill you!” Ye Yu was instantly enraged, coldly spitting out a word of death. Without hesitation, he pointed his sword to the sky. In front of Mu Zixuan, layers of fabric shredded, and an instant surge of blood sprayed forth.

Mo Qi gritted his teeth in anger but finally sheathed his sword. Watching Mo Leng poised to make a merit, he had already cursed Mo Leng a thousand times over in his heart.
