Chapter 56: A Marriage in Name Only

When Luo Yan woke up, Huali was busy selling goods. Luo Yan obediently sat up by herself, put on her shoes, picked up her water bottle, and took a drink.

Due to her height, Luo Yan could only see the legs of adults. She then noticed that next to Xiao Yanru, Qu Yingqiu's black pants and white shoes had been replaced by a floral dress and leather sandals.

Had someone else taken over?

Luo Yan wriggled past Huali, stepped out from behind the counter, walked up to the bottled wine display, and looked up at the woman behind the counter...

The woman was in her thirties, with permed hair.

Those strange birds were ignorant of their own mortality at first; although they felt some wariness toward the black sword, they still tentatively launched an attack against it.

Seeing the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince standing beside her, Manhua stood up somewhat sheepishly and bowed to pay her respects to the two imperial princes.

Taking a closer look, everyone saw that Ye Chen's physical body emitted a pure golden hue with divine radiance surging all over it, leaving them struck with shock.

However, the moment they saw the scene before them, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Luke was not a Huaguo native, but he spoke fluent Huaguo language. His gruff voice carried a trace of cruelty, and his sinister gaze, resembling that of a venomous snake, made people's scalps tingle. Moreover, he was a man of little patience and could pull the trigger at any moment.

Here it comes again, here it comes again! Chenguang closed his mouth in frustration. A younger brother lecturing an older brother, and you've actually grown addicted to it! Who knows what was going on in his mind when he used to lecture Chen Xiaoxiao in the past?

In the evening, Li Shouyi took Chu Xuan around to familiarize himself with the environment of the South Sword Sect. Before they knew it, the two of them walked to the dining hall of the South Sword Sect.

Ever since Long Yu and Chen Xiaoxiao arrived here, he had remained completely motionless, not even lifting his head once.

The Crown Prince remained just as he usually did, laughing, joking, and exchanging sarcasm with the First Prince. The First Prince could sense a certain coldness in the Crown Prince's expression—a bone-chilling coldness.

Yet the words that slipped past her lips turned into, "I am indeed a little tired." Immediately afterward, she took the initiative to lean against his chest, feeling the steady and powerful beat of his heart.

Kakashi's eyes narrowed sharply, and the thousand thunders in his hand blazed brilliantly, as if thousands of lightning bolts were entwined around it, accompanied by a faint dragon's roar.

Kakashi suddenly realized that since coming to this world, he seemed to have changed many things.

His gaze swept over the battle-scarred Sword Burial Peak, revealing a trace of relief in his expression. Fortunately, the most terrifying thing had not happened, and such an outcome was quite good for the Sword Sect.

Persisting for only seven or eight seconds, Falling Leaf was once again knocked flying, and the BOSS strode toward Zhang Yifan once more.

"Things have reached this point, it is high time to teach the people of the Sky Network a lesson." Daisy said with absolute confidence.

Although everyone was outside the house, the door was wide open at the moment and the torches blazed brightly. Through the crack in the door, Tang Xiyao could clearly see the situation outside. She recognized that the leader was none other than the bandit "Brother Yu" from the dilapidated temple at Tiger Sword Ridge. For a moment, she could not understand why he would appear here.

Furthermore, Kakashi's unique charm had already earned him the title of the school's universally acknowledged most popular male teacher.

Had Qian Weiguo and Shen Tingting been here, they would have been astonished to find that their captain had also made a move. This was because the Crimson Dragon rarely took action, but once it did, it targeted major objectives, and this time was no exception.

The air was permeated with a sickening stench. Upon the city walls, along the streets and alleys, and over the eaves and roof tiles, dried and blackened bloodstains were visible everywhere. Walking through Jubei City, Li Qifeng felt a chill rising from the depths of his heart; this once-majestic city had actually been reduced to a ghost town.

Xuanyuan's battle-qi surged to its peak in that instant; this was not controlled by his conscious mind, but was entirely a purely instinctive reaction.

Dahang City had already become the largest shipbuilding base, with ten one-thousand-shi docks and three two-thousand-shi docks lined up in a row. Five thousand craftsmen were building warships day and night, and the first batch of ten one-thousand-shi merchant ships had already been completed. After fifteen days of trial navigation, they were preparing to return to Dalian City in the company of Li Ye.
