Chapter 162: A Proper Kiss

In this Hell Sea, unless one has enough spirit stones or pills, it is virtually impossible to recover one’s cultivation.

Zuo Liangyu now found himself caught between a rock and a hard place. To the north lay Weng Zhiqi’s forces, and redirecting an army of several hundred thousand was no simple matter. Transporting provisions, deploying troops, establishing camps—each was a vast undertaking that would take a month or even several months.

“You… you tricked me!!!” Su Liuxiang recalled that the second bandit had indeed only sworn an oath just now, without saying anything afterward. Only then did he realize that, after spending years hunting swallows, he had ultimately been pecked blind by one himself. The whole thing had merely been an elaborate scheme to deceive him for amusement.

“How is this possible? How could he be this powerful?” Zhang Pingfang stared at Wang Bing at the center of the battle, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The moment Wang Xiyue heard those words, tears streamed down her face. Wang Bing hurriedly pulled her into his arms.

It would have been somewhat improper to declare the mineral deposits, mountains, and forests of the realm to be the emperor’s personal assets and put them up for auction. But now that they were being classified as “state-owned assets,” with the Ministry of Revenue handling the matter, far more could naturally be done.

“Your Majesty, this humble servant does not know. However, I believe that no matter what, they must obey Your Majesty. Otherwise, the people of the realm will not agree, and neither will my Imperial Guard.”

After Xia Wanchun said this, Zhu Youjian merely smiled. He straightened his robes and crown, then descended the stairs and made his way out through the winding corridors.

“Telephone?” the policeman asked in confusion, staring blankly at An’an’s perfectly still hand, which showed no sign of ringing or vibrating.

As it happened, Li Banghua, Zhou Yuji, Li Mingrui, Liu Fangliang, He Xin, Lu Zhenfei, Liu Kongzhao, and other officials from the Grand Marshal’s Office who had been summoned to the capital to discuss military affairs arrived in this city one after another over the next few days.

The sole exception was the official hunting tournament, during which government personnel would disguise themselves as non-player characters, host the competition, and distribute the prizes.

“Why… why?” Yuhen murmured weakly. It was as though all the strength had been drained from her body in an instant, and she collapsed helplessly onto the ground.

Turning sideways, he saw that the arm which had just touched the venomous viper had changed from purple to black. It was clearly a sign of poisoning; he had touched the viper’s body moments earlier. He had never imagined that the black scales covering its entire body were actually deadly to the touch. They had grown from within its flesh rather than being painted on, making them utterly terrifying.

On New Year’s Eve that year, Pei Yaozhi did not even have time to dwell on the anniversary of her death. Her entire mind was consumed by the schemes and intrigues unfolding throughout the lands, both within and beyond the Four Seas. Only when fireworks and firecrackers erupted in waves across the night sky over Dust City did part of her attention return, allowing her hands and eyes a brief rest.

For instance, when trapped within a talisman formation, a powerful divine sense could perceive its structure clearly. It also made comprehending cultivation techniques easier, and in battle, one could even release divine sense to interfere with an opponent’s movements, among other uses.

One of the cultivators who had come with Liu Xuan cursed and kicked Benny, sending him flying before he crashed heavily to the ground.

The headless and tailless mirage sensed someone approaching. It opened and closed its jaws, and the entire ten-mile lake immediately lost its calm. Huge waves surged, splashing several meters into the air and throwing Mei Tian off balance in the water, making it impossible for him to swim any closer.

Just as the warning signs in Zhang Fan’s mind seemed to be taking shape, the boundless energy pouring from the Heaven-and-Earth Shield fueled the unprecedented power of the Illusory Thunder Technique, which was unleashed at that very moment. He sought to make the three experts misjudge his position as they attacked.

Huayuan stared blankly at Ye Chen and said nothing more. As he gazed at Ye Chen, it seemed to him that, in that instant, he had glimpsed the trajectory of the Great Dao.

Ye Jingchen had learned that the golden embryos of the others were all different, almost like the weapons in their hands.

As for the strength possessed by that unprecedented great realm, Daoyuan, Huo Ran, and even the Dragon God could not ascertain it with complete accuracy through their unique divination arts. Yet, by combining what they had sensed and understood previously, they could still make a rough estimate.

This instead left Jiang Si momentarily stunned. Deep in his pupils appeared a profound distrust and confusion.

The bodies of interstellar humans were far stronger than those of the people in her world. Judging by the recovery rate of interstellar humanity, he might well be healed in half a month.

After fighting their way out of the hall, the officials saw that the prison superintendent and deputy superintendent were lying dead on the ground, and they cried out in alarm.

Because he possessed the Third Rebirth and Five Animal Play techniques, Hua Sheng could fully heal his wounds in a very short time so long as he had not suffered too many fatal injuries at once. His opponents, however, had not been so fortunate. That was why Hua Sheng said that most of the blood on him did not belong to him.

The moment these words were spoken, Mu Tao fell silent. Clyde, who had also been about to order something, swallowed the words that had reached his lips. Mona Nai-na smiled ingratiatingly at Sang Ning and continued smearing her with yellow mud.

“How is your search for the person I asked you to find going?” Empress Dowager Wei did not want to mention Ye Changfeng and the others again, so she asked about something that interested her now.

The two men led their troops back to Lotus Cave, only to run straight into the Pilgrim rescuing the captives. Without another word, they immediately began fighting.

That was why, after bringing it back yesterday, they left it soaking in the water. Of course, that brilliant idea had come from Chang Long.

Although, judging from the personality he had displayed in the past and his conduct during the last two or three clan assemblies, there was no need to worry about this, Jiang Si was, after all, still young—only fourteen years old. Even in this exceptionally precocious world, he was still merely a boy.

Before ten exchanges had passed, the Taoist’s great hammer was shattered by the Bear King’s spear, and his head was crushed to a bloody pulp along with it.

She quickly steadied her emotions, held her breath, and sent him a message: “Do you mean that you like me?”

Yuan Xi nodded in agreement, bowed as he saw Yuan Shao and the man off, then took several pieces of dry firewood from beside the tent and began lighting a fire inside.

Liu Chong hurriedly rolled up from the ground, only to see that Liangqiu Ci’s second slash was already descending toward him. He hastily raised his blade to block it again. With a sharp clang, his weapon was severed. Liu Chong narrowly avoided a fatal wound, but a blade still cut across his chest, and blood poured freely.

It seemed that everyone knew. It seemed to be terribly important—important enough that no one could miss the family gathering. Everyone knew except him.
