Volume One, Chapter 116: When a Woman Pursues a Man, It’s Like a Veil Apart!

Qin Bao saw Cao Qingzhu asking for help, and noticed the lecherous men rushing toward her, yet he ignored her as she lay on the ground. Everyone loves a beautiful woman, but Qin Bao was suspicious of a woman who appeared from nowhere with a wanton gaze and a pitiful act. A man must protect himself when out in the world.

Shi Fengxian, having realized the true power of the Taoist nun, trembled as he reached for a sachet at his waist. Seeing this, A-Zhen reached out and snatched it away, asking, "Is it this?" He then handed it over to Lin Ling, eager and somewhat fawning.

She had just noticed that the blades held by the bandits were dull, which meant they had not killed anyone before; they merely used them to intimidate passersby to extort wealth. To this day, Xianyun still felt a lingering fear when she recalled that night, and she hoped that such a thing would never happen to her again in this lifetime.

Upon arriving at the pier, Liu Wei saw a magnificent warship anchored on the distant sea. Damn, this prince actually traveled by warship; talk about showing off. No sooner had he finished speaking than Wang Yang kicked him under the table, signaling that if he kept talking like that, he should prepare to be interrogated by the others.

Xuan Yuan Tianxin and Fanyin were of one mind, but they were immediately met with opposition from a certain gentleman. There was still some unfinished business in the Western Continent, and although he had returned to his true form, he could not simply abandon the Longhao Imperial Family, so he had to remain on the Western Continent for some time.

Qian Qingxi sat quietly in a seat below the main one, with Xianyun and Xianran standing respectfully behind her. The flower hall was peaceful and serene. Following behind Ye Anan, two men dressed in black suits and glasses, looking like bodyguards, were carrying a large crate.

However, he was currently unaware of the situation and had no idea what kind of predicament Xiaohan was in. One must know that things had not been peaceful for Boss Liao over the past few days, and Situ Qiule had been mourning every day. Yet, looking at him now, it was as if he had just won the grand prize.

The weapons of both sides struck each other violently, no different from the previous battle with another enemy. At seven o'clock in the morning, the system announcement echoed across the China region, reaching the ears of every player.

The disciples of the Qinghai Sect looked at each other in dismay. They had practiced swordsmanship here for generations, so how had this suddenly become the forbidden ground of the Zhaixing Sect? Indignant, they began to argue with the other side, which enraged the Red-Haired Ancestor, who punished them and drove them out of the forbidden area.

"Senior Brother, I'm sorry!" Seeing the expression on Yun Mu’s face, which was still slightly pale, Wu Feixu walked up to him feeling embarrassed, lowered her head, and spoke.

Jiang Jiuyue could see that the mother tiger was truly hungry, but the brown bear was simply too massive. Unable to move it, she thought for a moment, walked over to the carcass, pulled the dagger from its chest, and with a swift motion, chopped off the bear's paws.

The tragedy of the Houju family perishing in a sea of fire sparked much discussion, but it caused no real waves in the royal capital. The Huaxu Clan did not care much about the dead, and no matter how curious the other clans were about the cause of Houju's death, there was nothing they could do to interfere.

Jiang Jiuyue saw this and was too late to stop her. She had expected a miserable defeat, but to her surprise, the girl fought with increasing fluidity, her moves becoming methodical and organized.

"Alas! Blame yourselves for offending me. I am actually very kind," Li Qicheng said with a gentle smile, his tone entirely devoid of any negative emotion.

The rain washed down, yet it could not cleanse the sorrow in her heart. Tears streamed down her cheeks onto the ground until, finally, she buried her head in her hands and wept openly.
