Volume 1 Chapter 62: His Love Was So Cheap and Worthless

Once those memories buried deep in her heart welled up, Su Wanqing felt a heavier tightness grip her chest.

She pulled back her distant gaze and gently tugged at Zheng Lu's sleeve. "Alright, let's go get something to eat."

Zheng Lu was still airing her grievances, chattering on and on without stopping:

"I honestly don't get it. What is so great about that scumbag? Apart from having a bit of filthy money, a handsome face, an impressive educational background, and strong capabilities, what else does he have?!"

"Even if he were deeply affectionate toward that Su Wanning, it would be one thing, but he's not like that at all!"

"Harboring true love for Su Wanning on one hand while messing around ambiguously with you on the other, to the extent that you even have a child—what kind of love is this..."

...well, not only inheriting the art of war, but adopting my rogue tactics would also be quite fitting... Therefore, I must strike at her all the harder, getting her used to being treated like a rogue so that in the future she can naturally treat others the same way...

...perhaps this is why, once countless races reach the realm where they can take human form, their very first choice of form tends to be the human race?

The bell and drum sounds, ringing in unison like dragons and phoenixes, originated from the Dragon Bell and the Phoenix Drum—two supreme immortal treasures housed within the Heaven-Suppressing Pagoda at the highest point of the Heavenly Court. These two artifacts were linked via a specific array to the immortal realm's grand protective barrier. Should any external enemy approach, the Dragon Bell would sound the alarm, and if both bell and drum rang together, it meant an enemy had already breached the immortal realm.

Sun Yu weighed the Imperial Jade Seal in his waist pouch and felt that sneaking straight into Cao Cao's lair carrying the seal was somewhat inappropriate. Moreover, the Three Peach Garden Sisters were not suitable to be brought into Chenliu; if the "God of War" and the "God of Combat" were to be lured away by Cao Cao, that would be extremely disastrous.

Immediately afterward, he abruptly opened the window before him, leaped over the sill, and dropped down into the renovated dojo at the back of the villa. Slipping off his shoes, he stood dead center in the dojo.

Although he had confirmed no one was in the room prior to entering, after a rolling maneuver, he still kept one hand holding a blade tucked against his ribs while pointing his gun forward with the other, sweeping the surrounding space to check every corner.

A fierce strong-interaction force field erupted abruptly. An incomparable, violent power pressed down upon Obama's head like Mount Tai, pushing his skull down toward the ground inch by inch, to the point where even the protective blue light shielding his body was deformed bit by bit under this sheer force.

Listening to the words spoken by Zu Zhixing, Zhu Bang felt as though the wailing of countless dead souls was ringing beside his ears. A fierce murderous intent surged toward him, so intense that he could practically smell the thick scent of blood.

...it's just that, due to its innate nature, people tend to classify it as a wicked doctrine within the mortal world.

Wielding a silver-white metallic polearm styled somewhat like the trident of the Sea God, he stared with stern, piercing eyes at Mikoto Misaka and Kuroko Shirai.

"Keane, what is this used for? Is it some kind of treasure?" Olivia picked up the starlight crystal, brought it close to examine it carefully, yet found nothing unusual about it.

"Don't be like that, Master Nie. We're all in the same profession; don't be so heartless!" Liaopin chimed in shamelessly from the side.

Everyone woke up one after another and discovered that all members were present. True to expectation, no further incidents had occurred during the night, causing everyone to let out a collective sigh of relief.

"Commander, whatever you say we should do, we'll do it!" Zhang Long slammed his wine cup heavily onto the table.

Seeing Su Lanruo's hesitant expression, Bai Yufan pulled her straight into his embrace. In an instant, Su Lanruo's pretty face turned scarlet.

At the end of August, the sweet osmanthus trees were laden with golden blossoms from branch to branch. Between the General's Shrine and the Consort's Shrine stood two lifelike stone statues—they were the appearance of the crossbow hero's parents as remembered in his mind: his father majestic and tall, his mother's eyes overflowing with doting and maternal warmth.

"Older brother, I also want these sorrow-free flowers to disappear, but for some reason, no matter how hard I try, they are completely beyond my control. Moreover, whenever anyone enters this place, they release spiritual energy to attack their souls, almost as if they are protecting me!" Mu Qingyu said with a wronged expression.

That two-nosed giant elephant from earlier could actually be defeated with proper tactics and the sacrifice of a few dog kobolds. However, after pondering it for a moment, Jia Zhengjin decided to temporarily abandon this gamble-like shortcut.

He had only met Master Qiu once, yet through all the trivial details observed around him, he felt that this Master Qiu was truly remarkable. Despite being an exalted master of the spirit beast clan, he could still carve out time to personally treat various sick beasts within the clan—something truly rare.

Elder Feng Yi's heart trembled at these words, for he knew all too well that this master of the Divine Blood Palace acted with extreme tyranny and possessed an erratic, unpredictable temperament.

The Emperor felt a sense of doubt in his heart. Normally, there had been no word of any association among these three, so why would they suddenly choose to request an audience together today? Could it be that some major event had occurred?

Uncontrollably, his mind replayed Ji Wuqing's words. His tone had remained gentle, yet carried a hint of faint sorrow and resolute determination. After this parting, should they meet again, how would he treat her, his runaway queen?

The ox-eyed lad was filled with a bellyful of grievances with nowhere to vent, overshadowed by an even greater sense of guilt. The lord had given him a task which he had failed to execute properly, even managing to anger the man. Now that the lord had appeared right here, it was the equivalent of delivering a fierce slap straight across his face.

Old Madam He said: My wretched child, your mother had no idea you were suffering such immense torment. You and your husband passed away long ago, and your father refused to tell me even when he knew—that godforsaken old man.

Because this restaurant was located near the school, featured an exquisite and fashionable decor, and offered affordable prices, it attracted a great number of patrons.

"Senior, I will heed your instructions." Yun He bowed respectfully toward Jiang Xie's direction, his eyes burning red with tears, feeling a pain in his heart far worse than being pierced by needles.

It was a rare stroke of luck to land such a leisurely post. Standoffs with the Western Xia forces in Yinzhou had completely exhausted him, yet Commander Zhong, showing consideration for his subordinates, had sent him to Siwu City merely to see some wet-behind-the-ears brat. How laughable—what kind of capability could a mere brat possibly possess that would require Commander Zhong to lower his dignity and try to win him over?

The car started moving again, and that dress gradually receded into the distance. Qin Muyang twisted his neck, his gaze unable to tear itself away until the sight was completely lost to view.

Those individuals who had dared to disturb Master Yang's slumber had naturally entered the ghost gates by now, and their corpses were probably already picked clean by the vultures circling in the sky.
