Chapter 28

Upon hearing this last remark, the old man’s heart skipped a beat. He wondered to himself, "I spoke entirely according to the facts, so how could the other party have such an impression?"

Startled by this sound, Ji Han realized he had been staring, lost in thought. He offered an awkward smile, then lowered his head, remaining silent.

This object resembled a pill, but once it was launched onto someone, it would immediately transform into an invisible mist that clung to them. Even if the person changed their clothes, Wang Lang could track them by the scent for up to three days.

The ox-soldier looked incredibly smug as he strutted away in front of the two guard-oxen. The two guards looked at each other, both clearly sensing the awkwardness of the moment.

"Is Princess Xiangxiang of the Dali Kingdom inside?" Qin Tian asked in a calm, flat voice, showing not a hint of fear.

The powder in the medicine bottle was called "Insect-Devouring Dust," a poison recorded in the *Secret Records of the Hidden Chamber*, specifically designed to deal with insects, venomous snakes, and similar pests.

Xu Yan’s hand did not pause for a moment. Controlling the sword Fuyao, he brought it to his hand and deftly, with agile grace, traced a brilliant floral pattern in the air.

"How was it? How was it? Did you pull it off?" Liu Yue’s best friend ran over the moment Xiao Qiang left, eager to ask.

"Cough, cough! Hahahaha! Good, he died well, he died well." Song Xin seemed to be so overwhelmed with joy that it took a toll on his body, causing him to cough up a bit of blood.

The house was very simple, consisting of only two rooms—one was the bedroom for Zhao Shufen and Zhang Weimin, and the other was used for storage. Zhao Shufen led her parents into the kitchen.

Amidst such pleasant scenery, he held her hand, feeling the natural texture of the pebbles with every step, as if there was zero distance between them and the earth.

He had never seen such a tall tree before; it seemed to carry its own halo, faintly emitting a seductive, crimson light.

The Demon Lord’s clan was not a nation participating in the war, so they were naturally content to remain idle. As always, the Demon Lord spent his mornings handling official business and his afternoons eating, drinking, and making merry in complete comfort.

If he could evolve this flame into the Arhat Fire, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous boost to Wu Lei’s strength.

Immediately after, the three of them set off, splitting their group and heading toward three separate mountain paths.

She did not want to bow her head just like that, but Wen Jianhai dared not delay any longer, fearing she might do something reckless if they waited a moment longer.

As she was thinking this, the person opposite her walked over. Compared to Ke Xinya’s wonderfully pained expression, An Datong seemed far more composed.

It was not that she was unwilling to speak of the past, but rather that she did not know where to begin, given that so many years had passed... However, since Ke Xiangbao had asked, she took the opportunity to explain that past event to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings in the future.

I don’t know why, but when he sneered like that, my heart skipped a beat. It felt as though something terrible had happened, and a chill suddenly crept into my soul.

"What does that mean?" I looked at the giant in astonishment. I felt it was something sinister, but it most likely had a connection to the corpse-ghosts; at any rate, that was what I believed.

Xue Dingshan said, "I understand. It is of no consequence." Having said this, he held a shield in one hand and a halberd in the other, blocking the arrows fired from the shore. The chaotic rain of arrows clattered against his defenses, all of which were deflected by Xue Dingshan.

Ten million mid-grade spirit stones—upon hearing this figure, the guests in the ordinary seats felt dizzy. They felt this was the most unrealistic thing they had heard in years, yet it was the truth, and they had no choice but to believe it.

"Taishici is here." Taishici was stunned for a moment, as he was not an officer under Xue Rengui’s direct command. He was quite surprised to hear Xue Rengui call his name from the command platform. However, out of respect for Xue Rengui—and because he had a request of him—he stepped out and cupped his hands in response.

Wuenqi gauged the situation for a while and prepared to step forward to engage the enemy, but Farug volunteered to lead the charge. He flew off on his magic carpet, but a moment later, he crawled back, beating his chest and wailing, before collapsing in tears before Liya.

"Good! Seeing that their mechs are so powerful, my hands have been itching for a long time. Very well, let’s see which side is stronger," Mo Qiankun said, his face full of excitement.

Among these people, Murong Yi possessed the greatest talent. He was now a ninth-grade formation master, serving as an elder in the Formation Hall and acting as the backbone for everyone else.

I have no idea how such wonderful wine is made. It is truly astonishing; the flavor is simply magnificent. Just smelling it now is enough to make one unable to pull oneself away.

Later, Yi Le found a familiar shopping bag on the floor next to the wardrobe and took out a package of black silk stockings that was still in its wrapper. After taking the school uniform off the wall, Yi Le walked straight to his room.

"My good eunuch, please do not misunderstand. That is not what I meant at all." Xue Rengui laughed inwardly. The man was handsome, yet he spoke in constant idioms; could this be the earliest form of a "beauty-obsessed" society? Hopefully, he didn't have any peculiar predilections. Xue Rengui immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

The fourth chapter of the Shao Long Chronicles: the six kingdoms have been unified. He is very happy, which means it is time for me to enter the underground palace to sleep. I hope to wake up in 2010.

After all, the three of them had been together for over six years, and with one suddenly gone, Liu Yi felt a profound sense of loss.

Bing Hua lifted the carriage curtain, looked around, then let it fall back into place. She turned and gently shook Mi Shu awake, whispering, "My lady, we have arrived at the inn. Let me help you down." Mi Shu braced herself, allowing Bing Hua to wrap her in one layer of winter clothing after another.

Moreover, she had dressed with great care today, looking so beautiful and elegant that any man would steal a few extra glances, especially Lin Zheng, who had arranged all of this; he was extremely satisfied.

Tada was stunned. In truth, he had already lost, but he clung to the belief that as long as Mei Feiran did not come, she would ultimately be his—he believed this even now, after she had said those words.
