Chapter 84

The failed cultivation technique couldn’t be synthesized a second time. Fortunately, this was just a test, or else the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms would have been ruined.

The old lady’s face darkened as she looked at her, her coquettish demeanor making her nearly blurt out “vixen.” But then again, this kind of appearance could indeed make men dote on her a while longer. When she grows old, she’ll see that she’s no different from anyone else.

At night, she no longer liked sleeping with her mother and even looked forward to coming home from school a little later, wishing she could always be with her father the emperor and the princess-turned-teacher.

At this very moment, the central plaza of East Sea City in the Federation was packed with people, all crowding around a rectangular platform.

It was also because of the abundance of heavenly treasures that her cultivation rank had become fixed. Without a fortunate encounter, she would likely be unable to advance even half a step for the rest of her life.

“We’re not being devious, not at all. We’re openly plotting against you,” Mu Chen said, and before he finished, he struck the Bull Demon King with a powerful palm, sending him flying.

How could a man so cowardly and spineless, so afraid of death, change so much in just three years?

Soon, a warrior emerged from the woods, blood-red spear in hand, skewering the corpse of a snake demon cut into three segments, blood trailing behind him, the stench overwhelming.

“Your Majesty, aren’t we being too hasty in bringing the princess back? Perhaps if she tires of wandering, she’ll return on her own?” Censor Zhu said.

After speaking, his slender fingers picked up a white stone and, under Han Li’s focused gaze, gently placed it on a critical point amidst the tangle of black and white stones.

“What brings you here?” she asked, steadying her nerves and trying to take the initiative, hoping to throw Wei Lili off balance. She fervently hoped she hadn’t seen anything, or things would become awkward.

“What do you know?” Tinghua immediately asked. What had happened tonight felt like a dream, more bizarre than everything she’d ever experienced put together.

Yang Liuer showed no shyness at all, staring unabashedly, making Jing Yan feel embarrassed.

“You’d best stop attending classes and stay home to care for your pregnancy,” Han Jinfeng abruptly left Mo Qianqian, sat down on the sofa, stretched out an arm and lounged lazily, gazing at the visibly anxious Mo Qianqian.

The mad old man struck with astonishing swiftness and precision—one blow and a whole row was felled. In mere moments, no one dared to charge forward recklessly.

This fish was bought by Qiu Qianjian early in the morning at the market. He’d made the dish especially for Yang Liuer, having seen her enjoy it last time, but her reaction left him feeling utterly defeated.

“Liuer, what happened to your hand?” Lu Xiaoge deliberately called her name in front of Yin Zhongjie, just to see how he would react. Fortunately, his gaze never left her and showed no other signs, so she decided to reveal the secret to them.

Everyone stared blankly at the figure on the screen, none daring to guarantee who the victor would be.

“Princess, the Great Emperor learned that you broke the seal and specifically sent me to fetch you. He has missed you every single day over these years!” Just then, a voice sounded in Bai Meng’s ear.

“What are you all talking about? I don’t understand a word,” Huang Juan asked, bewildered.

Unconsciously, Gu Yuhan pulled Qiao Yuyue closer, their noses nearly touching her alluring butterfly bones.

If not for the strange white threads wrapped around the thing, beyond his comprehension, running would have been his only option.

Madam Jin, seeing the beautiful Jian Nanfeng, couldn’t hide her delight and immediately hurried over to greet her.

After finishing matters at the company, it was already seven in the evening. Just as Zhou Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief, Dong Sixuan called again.

Since others were too busy to mend all the clothes at once, they soaked the thread in their own blood to embroider with silver needles, even if it delayed things another day.

At that time, everyone had just woken up and were least on guard. The household guards went to catch the male servants, while Qingqing led a few robust maids to round up the new maidservants.

Although the ghost attached to Gu Mingyuan was more subdued, it wouldn’t be long before it became as troublesome as the one with Gu Mingyang.

“They didn’t come. This is someone else’s banquet,” Li Jinjun all but dragged her away.

After becoming accustomed to it for a while, he realized this system didn’t recognize a master; it was more akin to “the capable claim it.”

She could hardly believe it. The Gu family and the Liang family weren’t exactly close, but they had business dealings. If Liang didn’t want to cooperate, surely they didn’t need to suppress them so harshly.

“Brother Ye, I’m sorry to trouble you again,” Zhuang Yi said as he approached Ye Jun.

After retrieving the clothes he’d hidden in the crevice of the rocks and changing, he wrapped his curved blade in a tattered wetsuit and found a hotel called Harbor Home, which had a pleasant ring to it.

If memory serves, there were also eyewitnesses who claimed that the other victims had all been under the plum tree late at night before their deaths.

Afterward, the other party immediately tossed the ancestral artifact fragments to Ye Chen, clearly wanting him and his companions to clash with the two hundred or so experts in pursuit.

“Ahem…” I coughed awkwardly. Would I ever admit it was because I was afraid to move forward?

“Don’t worry, I won’t say a word.” The Mo family’s secrecy was truly airtight; not a single hint had leaked out.

Ye Shanshan was the same—the look in her eyes was no less fierce than Zhang Jiaming’s. I knew her too well; she would never yield under any circumstances. Clearly, it was she who had bitten Zhang Jiaming’s lip.

Finally, both were knocked back. Ye Chen retreated several steps, but Wan Shan staggered back a dozen steps before regaining his footing.

As we spoke, several medical staff came in to prepare for Baylor’s suture procedure. Compared to the time we admitted him to the hospital, this was nothing, so Baylor seemed quite composed.

This grand final has captured the attention of hundreds of millions of viewers across the United States. Both the Michigan and Chicago university administrations are taking it extremely seriously. Nearly all their students have been eagerly discussing the upcoming match these past few days.
