Chapter 62 We Are Not Enemies
Shen Qingqing was almost driven to tears of frustration by Jiang Zhixun's shameless behavior. She reached out to grab her luggage. Jiang Zhixun was quick-witted and stepped back two paces, refusing to return it to her.
"Give it to me."
"Come back to the compound with me."
Jiang Zhixun's attitude was firm, leaving no room for compromise whatsoever.
Shen Qingqing had thought that once the divorce application was approved, everything would go smoothly upon returning to Beijing. She never expected Jiang Zhixun to tease and torment her like this.
A moist droplet...
"Many thanks, Brother Smokes!" Hearing this, Lin Fan's expression changed slightly. Then, he offered a grateful smile to the one with a faint smell of smoke and directly led the crowd charging fiercely toward the Sunset Valley.
"Respected Lord, my conditions require nothing more than a nod from you, yet in return, you will gain a batch of brave warriors and skilled sailors!" Charlotte tried his best to make his tone sound sincere, as he was also afraid of angering the lord before him.
"Stop right there!" White Peony ran over like a moth to a flame. Her attack posed no threat whatsoever; Jiang Yao merely flexed his left hand to subdue her, draining her of all strength until she collapsed limply onto the ground in a heap.
Huang Lulu had no idea what kind of medicine Su Yang was selling in his gourd. On the general manager's first day on the job, he actually wasn't holding a meeting—something that had never happened before.
"Linger doesn't mean that, Linger is just afraid—" Linger anxiously grabbed her sleeve to defend herself, only to have Momo stuff an egg tart into her mouth.
"Probably just passing merchants." Jiang Yao replied dismissively, not caring at all. Right at that moment, he heard Liu Xuan shouting not far away: "I'm going! The rest of you don't follow and get in my way!" Abandoning Liu Qian and his guards, he rode alone on horseback directly toward the group of people on the sand dune.
Leaving the Underworld, Yueying took Nightmare with her. Amidst strong protests from the Golden Immortal, she also kept this senior apprentice brother of hers—who had not seen the sun for ages—by her side. Of course, he had to retract the pair of horns on his head and the protective flames around his body.
Crossing the lake, the scenery ahead remained a forest. Yueying harbored some doubts as to whether this place was merely some remote corner of the continent; the Amadis Continent was certainly not lacking in forest vegetation, and some areas were even known as dead zones of despair.
Around ten o'clock in the morning, two streaks of golden sword light flashed briefly among the clouds, bursting through the overcast sky like majestic golden dragons as they headed toward Mount Lao. Within the sword light were two elderly Daoists with white hair and beards—none other than True Person Taijian and True Person Qingpan of the Kunlun Sect.
Covered by five heavy optical tanks, those vampire soldiers appeared utterly fearless. Shouting loudly, they fired aimlessly toward the defense line, nearly hitting Old Bob's head on a couple of occasions.
By putting it this way, Ye Chen caused Wu Tian's heart to skip a beat. Ye Chen was making his stance clear: if Wu Tian sought retaliation, it would undoubtedly be a desperate struggle with his back to the wall, and the one ultimately hurt in the end would still be himself.
"Is there anything fun in the Valley of the Miraculous Physician? I really like medicinal herbs too." Yue Zhangyue began making conversation out of nothing. Of course, she could not let slip any opportunity to be with Duzhong.
"I'm going to take care of some business. You understand what kind of place the Golden Triangle is. But don't worry, I'll be fine," Ye Chen said.
Hearing this, Tang You'er inadvertently glanced outward following Hongxiu's hand. To her surprise, their carriage had already arrived at the Prince's Mansion gates, and was about to reach Tang Ruowan's carriage.
Of course she would not understand that just now, her words had mentioned a person she should not have named. To be precise, she should not have ridiculed Zhang Xinsheng in front of Principal Luo for all the world. In the past, it might not have mattered much, but now it felt like touching Principal Luo's reverse scale, naturally leaving her with no pleasant expression.
"Have some food brought over, and later just say I've already eaten." Leng Qianqian could only resort to this. The only reason they wanted to invite her over was for lunch anyway.
Restraining her temper, Tang You'er waited a little longer until Murong Xiao nodded at her, before suddenly raising the beads in her hand high. To her dismay, she nearly collided with his heroic and extraordinary face.
Upon hearing this, Huatian immediately lunged toward the *Zhi*, and I too rushed forward holding a talismanic paper. This time I learned my lesson and didn't throw all the talismans away blindly; instead, I pulled out a few from the pack and hurled them at the *Zhi*.
"Sword Saint of the Underworld, when the fight starts later, please help look after Mengxi. Thank you," Yehan transmitted his voice secretly.
A few days ago, he had hoped that if someone sent by the Valley of the Miraculous Physician could cure the Crown Prince, he could finally set his mind at rest. To his dismay, Duzhong from the valley was even more arrogant than the previous old valley master, completely ignoring that matter.
Someone lost their mental composure, let out a miserable scream, and plunged directly into the Yunshui Torrent, plummeting straight down along with the hundred-foot waterfall.
"What is it?" Huo Tingsheng lingered in his heart for a moment, sensing that a bad omen seemed about to befall him.
She coldly countered and satirized the man before her, showing no restraint due to their respective identities. She looked genuinely angry and truly desired to stay as far away from him as possible.
Zhuoluo looked around at the crowd to seek their opinions, but everyone was quite willing to have a newcomer join and nodded at her.
Senior Brother Yang sneered. Now that he had finally managed to catch a weak spot of hers, if the matter was handled properly and Senior Brother Ye became happy, who was to say he might not also get to practice that cultivation technique?
"No need, I can use a towel to stem the bleeding, nothing will happen." Jiang Huiyun pointed to the towel in her hand, struggled out of Huo Tingsheng's restraint, and left.
Cao Fu's gaze shifted, landing on the ancient Daoist before him and the Imperial Preceptor's disciple, then he shook his head, deciding not to voice the doubts in his heart.
Yuan Xu rented the house at a price much lower than the market rate, and immediately led his mother, Fengxi, and the children to move in. (Note: "Fengxi" retained as a name)
Jinli snuggled into the spacious chair beside Imperial Concubine Hui, helping herself to the fresh fruits on the tea table to her right.
With that, she took out a set of snow-white robes on her own accord and reached out to help Shangguan Ling change into them.
Shenfeng kept staring at the God Lord's face. Seeing that hair-raising smile, a chill ran through his entire body, instantly bringing him to his senses. When he saw that Shenye was already less than ten meters away from the God Lord, he was so frightened his heart nearly leaped out of his chest.
Having subdued Frostmourne, I felt immensely refreshed. By this time, Binglan was already making arrangements for everything heading toward Silvermoon City, and all the Dragon Knights were fully geared up and ready to go.
"No! Your scent smells so good, I like it very much!" Instead of getting up, Jin Lin'er wrapped her arms around Shenfeng's neck and acted coquettishly.
Rampant Dragon carried a huge saber on his shoulder and glared at Cui Nande. Although Cui Nande had changed his ways of thinking, because of past conflicts, Rampant Dragon had always disliked him. Even though Cui Nande held a high official rank, Rampant Dragon's vital position within the Sakura Kingdom and his relationship with Zhao Yan meant that no one dared to offend him lightly.
"Do you really think someone like me who became famous through military strategy wouldn't participate?" Looking at Qiao Junyao's playful expression, Su Yan felt a stir in his heart, reached out to pinch her tender cheeks, feeling the warm and smooth texture akin to fine mutton-fat jade.
The atmosphere across the entire venue instantly froze, as if everyone had stopped breathing. The scene that had just unfolded sounded complicated, but it actually transpired in just two or three seconds.
In a trance, amidst the torrential rain of many years ago, that man who summoned raging gales with a mere wave of his hand suddenly emerged from the depths of his mind.
