Chapter 35
Fu Yunxi twitched the corners of her mouth, desperately suppressing a fit of wild laughter. She never imagined that Leopard would actually go to take the military examinations, and worse, be appointed as a Fourth-Rank Imperial Cat! Wasn't that exactly like Zhan Zhao from the television dramas? One could only imagine how hideous his expression must be.
"Perhaps Princess Xiyan came to see Concubine Yue again, and Ruoli just happened to find his way here," Liuli said in a flat tone.
Shen Yuhui stood there like a wooden stake. After a long while, he opened his palm to reveal a crumpled ball of paper.
"This 'string' of yours has snapped. You may not yet cherish it, nor feel any pity for it, but that young man... I fear when he looks back on it, his heart will ache to the point of breaking..." Fang Leixiao said this to himself, yet it struck a chord deep within Jingrong’s heart.
"Why is that?" Chou Yuntian was left bewildered by Feng Liuzi. What was wrong with Sixth Master? Had he been struck by divine lightning and lost his mind?
"Though I have opened my heart, I do not know when the time will come... I know it. If I were to tell him this, who could say how he would react..." Madam Mei glanced back at him, her eyes carrying a faint, subtle smile.
Xiu Yao laughed, "Oh, right, I also brought something for Big Brother, but I was so flustered that I forgot." The parcel for her brother was still in her hands.
"Then... what was the first time like?" Han Zhuqing was surprised at her own boldness in asking, but she truly needed to verify what had happened last night.
Red, pink, white... among the various shades of rouge and powder, that peculiar spice had been mixed into every single one.
"Abandoning the dusty world to roam the clouds and heavens. Such days must be the life of an immortal," Xiao Yao replied.
Ever since a few bony protrusions appeared beside Meier’s tail, Xue’er enjoyed fondling her even more, finding the texture exceptionally pleasant.
The Myriad Spirit Divine Talisman Ruler, capable of both offense and defense, blocked the encroachment of the yellow mist. From its golden-wreathed surface, a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm suddenly shot out, surging straight toward Li Yunfei.
The Blood Dragon’s fist, swirling with blood-colored radiance, blasted Hei Zi away. The next moment, he changed abruptly; whereas he had been surrounded by blood-colored divine power, he suddenly retracted it all.
Of course, this was not surprising. We all know Lu Xi’s temperament—he is a brat whose imagination is heaven-defyingly wild, yet he also suffers from intermittent brain short-circuits.
The defensive shield shattered in response, and the protective aura trembled violently, but in the end, it held firm and did not break.
...a hint of a flush appeared, and she leaned her body gently toward him. In such an ambiguous scene, how could Gao Yuan, that lecher, withstand it? He tightened his embrace around his teacher.
Li Yang’s ambitions were vast, and they grew even larger as the world changed. Beyond just the dream of leaving Earth to achieve space travel, he also aimed for immortality and the power to mold gods and craft Buddhas.
This army needed only three or five major battles to become a lion-hearted force of a hundred victories; even fewer than five hundred men could easily defeat the one or two thousand under his own command.
"Hehe, brother-in-law, I never knew you had such a nice car! But I don’t know how to drive yet." Bai Jie was so excited that he even changed his form of address. Bai Xue was so angry she gave him a secret kick, thinking to herself that he would sell out his own sister just for a car—he truly had no principles.
Then, after a few seconds passed, Zabuza’s figure appeared in the stream nearby as well.
He truly could not comprehend it. Could the person who captured him be an accomplice of Chi Ang? Were they trying to avenge Chi Ang?
"Please, speak." Cheng Mosu watched her quietly. She smiled slightly and looked back at him. Only when she calmed her heart did she realize that Cheng Mosu was breathtakingly beautiful, and only then could she see that his clear eyes reflected an equally clear soul.
Liu Yuanshen still did not make a move, merely revealing a sweet smile. Yet, it was this very harmless-looking expression that caused the barbarian to suddenly act as if he were possessed, his whole body convulsing, his limbs twitching, and his mouth spewing gibberish that no one could understand.
Liu Yingying felt a bit despondent. She looked at Lu Xuefei, then "hmphed" at Lin Muyu, saying, "Lin Muyu, if you dare to let Xuefei down, I will definitely kill you." She spoke with such ferocity that even Lin Muyu was startled by her outburst.
"Qiuhan, Fellow Daoist Lu is a guest of my Li family and saved my family. He is not an enemy." Li Yuan’s body trembled, and the Three-Harmony Poison began to flare up again, leaving him increasingly wretched. Li Qiujiang and Li Qiushui were both by his side. Lu Zhengxiong bowed lightly to the three of them.
The Empress Dowager broke into a cold sweat. She had clearly seen the Empress Dowager Mother’s decree being issued, yet she had knelt to beg for Huihui’s sake. What was the meaning of this question? It truly puzzled her, so she dared not answer for a long time.
"Back away!" At this moment, Sha Qin also saw the situation clearly. The seven of them working together were not only unable to suppress Su Fan, but were actually giving him opportunities to counterattack. He was completely using the Blade Emperor brothers' own strength against them; if this continued, there would inevitably be casualties.
Beautiful times are always short-lived. Although Su Fan had confirmed the wound was not serious and tried his best to slow his movements, the bandaging was still finished. Nevertheless, he was unwilling to let go of the beautiful scenery before him.
