Chapter 90: Unable to Break Free

The woman was the child in her womb, and she often came around to cause trouble.

It was likely that these corpse worms had also been drawn here by mother and child.

As for how to deal with it, that would depend on Old Uncle Li’s attitude.

The trouble in Li Family Village was only a temporary fix, not a cure.

The secret of that dry well was far more complicated than anyone had imagined.

If Uncle Li was not questioned until everything was clear...

Behind Su Ren stood a host of mounted senior officers and martial experts. All of them recognized Li Ling, this young Heaven-tier powerhouse, though Li Ling knew none of them.

At this, Meng Ze fell silent. Indeed, ever since her bond with Xiuzhu had been utterly severed, she had lived like the walking dead, surviving only for revenge.

“Old sir, what do you say?” Lan Fei ignored the old man’s son entirely and looked only at the elder as he asked.

Yansinian’s blue eyes were more dazzling than that pink diamond, brimming with an unwavering devotion and tender feeling that could stir the heart.

After all, since Mo Ning had no feelings for Huo Ran, why had she gone to such lengths to make it seem as though she truly loved him?

“Then what right do you have to destroy all this?” Su Yile screamed in frustration. Where did he get that temper?

Old Meng and his son had gone through untold hardship to win over the woman they loved. Naturally, An Hongtao chose his son’s happiness and therefore pretended not to know.

A smile spread little by little across Ye Qi’s face. “I am willing to offer my life as a sacrifice and awaken the Wheel of Reincarnation!” she said. She likely still did not know that activating the Wheel of Reincarnation required the voluntary offering of life, not merely killing him in passivity.

Li Ling’s mind was still turning over the thought that Xia Qi was actually so rough, so utterly lacking in gentleness, when Xia Qi suddenly stopped.

Yunfei grew all the more frightened and uneasy, her heart racing faster and faster. Just then, she suddenly heard a voice from outside announce, “Her Majesty the Noble Consort has arrived!”

Zhang Weifeng and Liang Zhiguo also looked at Ning Xiao with suspicion. After all, Ning Xiao had always been the worst in the past, in every respect.

On the training ground’s command platform, Chu Suanzi and the deathly pale, sickly-looking Sima Dan bestowed upon the Western General of the Central Army and Governor of Yuzhou, Xie Wan, the tiger tally, the imperial banner, supervisory authority over the military affairs of Yuzhou, Ji, Bing, and the four provinces, and the post of Administrator of Huainan.

Yao Tiantian deliberately softened and lowered her voice so that the people around her could not hear what she said, yet Madam Niu could hear her clearly.

The body that had only just steadied itself swayed again and again. Shock flooded her eyes as she stared at Ye Ling, and the already unsettled lake of her heart was whipped into towering waves.

Guan Qiong, however, would not let it go. “Today the sun is bright and the lotuses in the lake are in full bloom. It is the perfect day for painting. Miss Lian, why not paint us a picture of lotuses?” Guan Qiong also knew that Yueyao had no backing, so she was unwilling to let her off. As for the Ma family estate, she did not take it seriously at all.

“Miss Xuan, didn’t you say you were going to teach him a lesson? How did it become that you’ve long admired his great name?” Wu Feixia could not help asking.

Ren Jianfei felt a sudden stirring in his heart and pulled her fully into his arms, letting her lean against his chest and sending her the warmth of mutual dependence.

The two of them rushed forward, one after the other, to stand before Tang Ruyan. When they saw the soft tube on her arm, both were astonished; even Hu Er, standing to the side, gaped in the same surprise, unable to understand her purpose.

“I am sorry, but I cannot comply. I was ordered by my master to come and protect my lord,” Yuan Tai said with righteous conviction.

Huniu heard Dazhuang muttering and had been preparing to make a move, but when she saw him cleverly begin speaking with Yao Tiantian about proper business, the little bit of anger she had been holding on to immediately faded. She glared at Dazhuang, made a lip shape that clearly said she would settle accounts with him later, and then turned back to the room to pack her things.

With the help of the electronic voice, Chen Jintang made his way out of the army with ease. Then, under its guidance, he hurried toward the snow mountain.

Meanwhile, Quanheng was nourished by the power within the Star-Splitting Realm crystal. The external injuries on his body had mostly healed, and the armored martial power within him had once again become abundant.
