Chapter 39: Failed Temptation

A flicker of surprise crossed Ye Chengjun’s eyes.

The seduction had failed.

Interesting!

She had truly grown up; she was no longer as easily deceived as she had been twelve years ago.

"In that case, I shall not disturb your rest any further."

As Ye Chengjun turned to leave, Wen Miaohan called out to him.

"Wait."

The words left her lips before she could even think. With everyone in the room staring at her, Wen Miaohan felt...

Furthermore, in his view, the number of experts the Demon Sect had sent this time was only a third of the Murong family’s strength. Since that was the case, why not wipe them all out and claim a significant merit?

As the host of this Five Sects Martial Arts Competition, the Chuixue Valley was naturally responsible for the perimeter security of the entire encampment, while the other four major sects only needed to guard their own respective areas.

Mulan said softly that even if she did not kill him, Princess Yaozhi would not let him go. Moreover, Mulan herself could not answer to the entire Elven race.

Many aggressive merchants approached the Yueyue Beauty Shop, but the staff gave them disappointing news: dental checks and treatments were mandatory before wearing retainers, so the shop would be collaborating with hospitals for that purpose.

The hard, jagged rock deformed instantly, becoming as soft as silk. It sank along with the setting moon until it reached the bottom, forming an incredibly comfortable space.

He remembered now. It was at this exact moment in his previous life that Huang Jianfeng invited Ye Teng to meet up, leading Ye Teng to encounter the most important friends and enemies he would ever meet in the game.

"My Lord! My Lord! You have finally returned!" Chiyan rushed forward, his face full of fat and smiles, almost calling out "mother and father" in his excitement.

It was just like this time, where he suspected the Shaolin Temple was the mastermind. He had figured someone must be pulling the strings behind the scenes; he had guessed it was the Shaolin, but he had thought it was the Imperial Court... He had assumed only the Court possessed such capability. Who would have thought it was those supposedly honest monks?

Lian Chengzhi needed to circulate his energy to digest the power he absorbed from others. How could that compare to Su Jing’s current technique, "Moving Flowers and Grafting Jade," which allowed him to forcibly draw another’s power into his own body and immediately combine it with his own strikes?

He truly only wanted to save people... and after saving them, he didn’t ask for a single reward, turning away and leaving just like that?

However, the moment the energy blast touched the giant hand, the center of the palm automatically hollowed out, dodging the attack.

Such events were not limited to the Cloud Hidden Village; the Kazekage and the Tsuchikage had also found various excuses to temporarily refuse.

Afterward, he activated his divine sense and scanned the entire mountain range, yet he found no villages or entrances.

Yu Xinsheng, knowing the reason, was suddenly in a bind. Like his father before him, he had been placed on a watchlist and was trapped within the drug lord’s sphere of influence, unable to escape.

Chen Zihan greeted Jiang Changsheng generously, while Zhang Meng and Jin Sha, seeing Jiang Changsheng for the first time, were a bit reserved.

However, this did not stump Jiang Changsheng. Having seen the film, he had no trouble writing it based on the movie’s setting and plot.

Just as he reached the treetops and was about to catch up, the squirrel leaped to another tree, hissing at the kobold as if mocking everything.

Because he had been promoted by the Empress herself, he was gradually replacing the position once held by the "Human Cat" Han Diaosi. Everyone in the Imperial Palace knew the relationship between Han Diaosi and the Sixth Prince, Zhao Kai.

Only then did Liu Kai choose to take out his communicator, preparing to contact the support personnel sent by the company.

However, another person’s physical body and one’s own soul could never be a perfect fit. Attempting a forced possession was as uncomfortable as wearing shoes that were too tight. The old man was surely an expert above the Dharma Manifestation realm; even after his physical body died, his spirit could survive for a long time.
