Chapter 47: Shocking to the Eye

For some reason, hearing his incomparably bantering tone, coupled with Mu Yeli's ambiguous and casual remark, inexplicably stirred a surge of anger deep within her heart.

The man in black instantly vanished from the grand hall, leaving Murong Zhe alone in a daze, sitting quietly upon the dragon throne.

"Thanks to the young master's blessing, Lord Wolf and Lady Fox brought this old man a few Kings of Herbs a few days ago. Although their vitality has long since departed, using them to replenish this old man's primordial essence is more than enough," the Herb King said, bowing deeply.

"Squeak, squeak—" Seeing the person walk in again, the monkey was initially startled, then began to chatter even more frantically. Yet, reluctant to let go of the object beneath its bottom, it bared its teeth and brandished its claws.

Furthermore, he had intentionally masked his face, clearly having committed a malicious deed yet wishing to avoid recognition by her. Thus, she was left with no choice but to swallow her pride and accept this piece of bad luck, a truly insidious and underhanded tactic.

"Why must you... act like this?" All along, her emotional expressions had been entirely transparent; whatever needed to be refused or said had already been spoken! Since he refused to listen, she truly had no alternative and felt utterly helpless.

Unfortunately, language barriers meant that no matter how much was said, it was no different than talking to a duck or playing the lute to a cow. Besides, who would ever truly take his words seriously?

Hearing this, my heart skipped a beat. However, with Wei Junyao just outside, I could only shake my head in helpless resignation.

Amidst Cheng Ziluo's gasps of shock, a wicked and alluring smile curved across Xue Chenshao's lips. Lowering his head instantly, he captured her seductive red lips, directly swallowing her exclamation into the depths of her mouth.

Golden Flower remained equally stubborn. "I said no, so don't waste your breath." Why shouldn't she mind? She was already so old; even if she were to pass away now, she would have no regrets.

Indeed, Bo Gu's current sensation could best be described by the word "subtle."

"I..." Lin Lin desperately wanted to explain, but the force around her waist had already vanished. Yi Yichen had released her and walked right past her side. While Lin Lin stood staring blankly at the path ahead, unsure of what to do, she finally snapped back to her senses only to find that Yi Yichen had already walked quite a distance away.

Supporting herself against the bed, Golden Flower slowly climbed up and leaned against the wall. Breathing heavily and looking at everything in her home, a deep sorrow welled up from within, and tears fell once again. Glancing out the window, a sudden impulse to jump surged within her; yet she knew she could not do so just yet—her mission had not yet been fulfilled.

Today, Li Xia suddenly received a phone call from a mahjong companion inviting her to a gathering, adding that she should bring her husband along. Consequently, Li Xia brought Zhou Guohua with her.

The surface of the lake shimmered with a silvery light, resembling a flawless mirror. Yet, from the bottomless depths of the water, an intensely rich and heavy aura rushed forth—an aura that felt strangely familiar to Ye Siming, as if he had encountered it somewhere before.

However, Shen Du's warning made him deeply hesitant, trapping the command to "put out the fire" in his throat so that it could never be uttered.

If she attacked him with conventional weapons, perhaps banknotes might still offer some defense, but if it came to physical blows, to be honest, he had no idea what would happen, having never experienced it before.

"Cough, cough." Shen Du closed his eyes and coughed twice. Ah Lu instantly shrank into a leaf the size of a palm, no longer daring to wrap herself around Nuannuan.

Leng Youhan felt a silent urge to laugh. It turned out that all those years of covert contention and mutual rivalry were not in vain; indeed, sometimes the person who understood you best was none other than your greatest rival.

He was actually well aware that, between himself and Empress Qian, Empress Dowager Liping favored and appreciated Empress Qian far more.

Should the Hollow world shatter, the Hollows would lose their resting place, eventually flooding entirely into the realm of the living or Soul Society. The resulting chaos would be far from easy to contain.

Although Wang Shulin had not explained it clearly, how could Liang Huaijiu and the other two not understand? Their expressions turned bleak as they realized Yin Xinshui's heart had been deeply wounded, appearing entirely unwilling to ever bring up the matter again.

Within a short span of time, it had spread and permeated nearly dozens of countries, becoming known to the majority of the population across the continent.

Zhi Qiu and Ming'er supported me back to Chongguang Palace. Fortunately, Baoyuan had not yet returned. The two of them helped me change out of my blood-stained garments and retrieved healing medicine from the imperial hospital to apply to my back, allowing the pain to gradually subside.

Such a person—how could they possibly endure the mockery of others? How could they ever leave others with definitive evidence of a flaw in their personal morality?

Only then did Miri understand, everything falling into place. Ritsuko had acted in defiance of her orders, slipping her abortion pills behind her back.

"Hmph! Dog meat hotpot? Don't even dream about it, or I won't let you off easy!" the fox grumbled from behind the bearded man.

Meanwhile, the unscrupulous hit-and-run driver had fled. Fortunately, a passing fellow villager rescued him. However, his legs suffered comminuted fractures, alongside multiple injuries across his entire body.

Although ordinary citizens did not directly participate in the war, the armies waging it were sustained by them, and logistical support was facilitated by them. Generally speaking, there were no truly innocent civilians.

Karaca glanced over as his judgment had just been disrupted by the battle cries at the South Gate. Unexpectedly, upon turning back, he saw that the Muradye Mosque had already been engulfed in a sea of flames.

Although Wang Sheng had witnessed Ye Hai's formidable strength, Wang Zhe was a level nineteen soul master, entirely incomparable to Cai Kun and Rong Yao. He worried that if Wang Zhe came looking for trouble, Ye Hai would be no match for him.

Ever since Qi Yun told him he was ill, he had spent the entire day and night first visiting the Yunhai City First People's Hospital for examinations. After finding nothing amiss there...

Yinzhen walked forward step by step, each step seeming as heavy as a thousand pounds. Though his pace was unhurried, it gave an illusion that every single step took as long as a century to complete.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yun finally had no other choice and decided to give up. He allowed the Crystal Exquisite Pagoda to continue suppressing her, while recalling all the other treasures—the Yin-Yang Gold and Wood, and the Life-and-Death Jade Ruyi.

Every single time, it was he who bullied the giant tree. Despite being beaten black and blue on numerous occasions, he took pride in the fact that he had teased the immobile giant tree countless times.

Though she forced herself to swallow the shark fin with great reluctance, for Bai Yi, it was nothing short of an ultimate delicacy.

Once the castle was completed, Rizin immediately set about building artillery batteries and other fortifications on the island, turning it entirely into a maritime fortress.

"Uncle Sha, this..." Xianyuan Chengxian looked toward Wolf Sha, asking somewhat uneasily. Although these wolf cubs had no deep ties with him, they belonged to the Wolf Valley nonetheless. Seeing them in such agony, he still felt a trace of unbearable sympathy.

What kind of luck was this, in the eyes of the heavens? Having spent years hiding in the "wolf's den" without ever being discovered by the "wolves," he ended up being exposed by an "hound" on the outside today!

"Get lost! You're reeking of sweat, go take a bath!" Having said that, Ding Yuhan could no longer conceal her joy at seeing Wang Feng, and burst into a smile.
