Volume One, Chapter 45: Remnants of Evil

Lin Wanti put down the scissors in her hand and turned toward him, her face bright with a radiant smile. "My lord, just look at how splendid these peonies are in bloom."

Murong Yunyi reached out and pulled her to sit beside him, gently drawing her into his arms. "Indeed, they’re beautiful. Thank you, my lady, for tending to them so lovingly."

When he looked at Lin Wanti, his gaze burned with intensity, his words layered with double meaning.

"True Qi? I actually have True Qi inside me?" Luo Youmeng was stunned for a moment, then hastily checked her own body in secret.

"Dad, eat some more vegetables. Mom, you too. Aunt Wu, Uncle Zhang, please don’t be so reserved. I’ve always considered you family, so help yourselves and don’t just eat what’s right in front of you." Murong Xue picked up a few pieces of vegetables for her parents and made sure to include Aunt Wu and Uncle Zhang.

Peng San kept whimpering, his words unintelligible, curled up there looking utterly exhausted.

Of course I’m clever by nature—and only someone as foolish as Haozi would get sold off and still help count the money!

He wouldn’t let me laugh, wouldn’t let me look at him, so I stopped both, simply closing my eyes. He crouched down, wrapped his arms around me, carried me back to bed, and even tucked me in. Before sleep, he leaned down and kissed my forehead.

But when the mind is unsettled, flaws inevitably appear. Zhuang Yi seized upon those flaws and won a few more rounds from Ben Berkin.

Even so, as he spoke, the fellow couldn’t help but steal a couple of hard glances at Chen Yan’s chest. The boss said no touching, but never said no looking.

Even if you went inside, the temple would be packed to overflowing, not even a place to stand. Better to remain outside.

If I want to restore my cultivation, perhaps I could channel in the yin energy from outside, strengthen the power of the Gu worms, and help them grow rapidly. That might be a boon for both Chen Yiye and me.

Qin Yu had been brooding for twenty minutes, yet not made a bit of progress. The violet glow from the Ziwei Star Ring gradually faded, and Qin Yu’s aura slowly weakened.

Cang Luocheng spoke with utmost humility, though as a fourth-rank general with distinguished battle honors, she had no need to treat an unranked civilian like Su Qing with such courtesy.

Cang Jiuyao shook her head and chose not to dwell on the matter, instead propping her chin on her hand and closing her eyes, weary.

"All villains say they aren’t villains. Do you have any proof?" The parrot hopped down from the wooden plaque, looking at Wu Yang with suspicion.

On that point, Yun Tu had never intended to consult with Qian Duoduo; when the time came, she would have to come whether she wished to or not—it wouldn’t be up to her.

Rip! With a tearing sound, Holly Rossi’s evening gown was violently shredded by White Shark, revealing the alluring black lingerie beneath. White Shark’s eyes nearly popped out of his head—when had he ever seen such a stunning sight?

Meanwhile, Dom and Hobbs had a fierce fight, ending in a draw, but in the end, Dom ceased resisting.

"That’s enough!" Seeing the person before him about to continue, the man abruptly cut Tao Ran off.

With that, Qin Yu paid no heed to whether Liu Tian could accept it or not; he decisively pulled out his phone and dialed Phil’s number. The call was answered in an instant, Phil’s respectful voice coming through at once.

"Wow, really? That’s amazing! The teacher wants us to catch ghosts together!" Tingting and her friend cheered in surprise, expecting a scolding but instead receiving an outcome both thrilling and unexpected.

In the mere two or three minutes it took for the China team to enter, social media platforms like Weibo and WeChat Moments were flooded by netizens.

After a few minutes had passed, Consort Leng realized that her attacks were completely ineffective against Su Nan.

"Damn! Burn, will you? I’ll take you down myself!" Lin Fei gripped his peachwood sword and struck down upon a pile of dry bones.
