Chapter 55 You Cannot Bear the Consequences

The man's expression was grim as he stared fixedly at the three figures lying on the bed. It wasn't until his phone vibrated that he finally withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes to look at the screen.

It was a call from his subordinate, clearly indicating that the items he had previously ordered had been retrieved.

Pei Yunian curled the corners of his lips slightly, answered the call, and spoke with concise directness: "Bring the things up."

...

Scaling the city wall, Yu Moqing kept close behind Yongye, the two of them walking one after the other toward a secluded dwelling within the city.

Amidst the struggle, one of them threw his full weight upon her, a heavy, bulky body pinning her down. A sour, disgusting stench of sweat assaulted her nostrils, causing her entire body to tremble. Her internal organs felt like knotted hemp ropes, twisting the pain from the crown of her head all the way to the soles of her feet.

Listening to Grandpa Su's words, Su Min couldn't help but recall that scene, and instantly both of their moods soured somewhat.

The surrounding classmates had already snapped back to reality, their excited expressions written all over with adoration while their phones clicked away incessantly.

Zhu Wei clearly sensed something was amiss, for a dark shadow had unexpectedly appeared on his palm. Naturally, this wasn't due to excessive exertion causing blood congestion, but rather because the door harbored a formidable dark energy.

Qingge pressed her crimson lips together, the golden light fading from the depths of her eyes as her dark pupils turned as cold as snow. The wings behind her abruptly retracted.

"Don't stand on ceremony, goodbye Director." Ye Zi smiled, waved goodbye to the director, and stepped out of the orphanage.

"Shaohua is actually going to become an alchemist!" Liu Yuan shook his sister's arm in extreme excitement.

Yue Qingqian no longer hesitated or acted coy. Accurately gauging the position of Qin Moquan's lips, she closed her eyes the moment she stood on tiptoe. Then, she planted a dragonfly-like kiss upon his lips, touching them momentarily before parting.

Of course, Mother Ye also knew that at Ye Shaohua's age, she could no longer keep up with the learning pace of her peers.

This bundle had been improvised from a piece of cloth torn from a skirt. Inside it was wrapped a glistening phoenix crown inlaid with large pearls, along with several pieces of jewelry—all of which Yun Muxue had worn on her wedding day.

Ever since his invitation for Su Yin to go out for a late-night snack had been rebuffed the previous night, Fu Hao and his two companions had been harboring a belly full of frustration. Coupled with the fact that they had all been eliminated today, they were burning with even greater anger.

Ruixue served the chili peppers, poured in the oil, and fished out the pork belly that had just been boiled together with the large bones. She sliced off a large piece, cut it into thin slices, and tossed it into the wok to stir-fry.

The anticipation and banter among everyone instantly subsided, and their eagerness for the delicacy plummeted in an instant.

"Guarded by such a majestic lion, even if the Void-Treading Alliance Army were to attack this place, we would surely make them return empty-handed." Standing upon the final towering, precipitous grand command platform, Situ Di stared at the elite guards before him with wide, tiger-like eyes, a fighting spirit emanating from the very marrow of his bones.

Inheriting his previous style, the Ghost King continued to wave his hands. In an instant, dark clouds rolled and vengeful spirits wailed. A gigantic blood-red palm condensed once again in mid-air, hurtling toward Chen Feng with renewed ferocity.

"Conditions?" Ling Zhouetian's expression turned slightly peculiar, a look of profound surprise gleaming in his eyes.

The title of this song and the lyrics contained within it did not mention the mandated word "ideal" even once. Instead, it was replaced by two seemingly ordinary words, "setting out." Yet, delivered through the slightly husky yet crystal-clear voice of the wandering poet, it moved every listener to their core.

None of them knew that the aloof and arrogant National Preceptor had already been mentally cast as Yun Muxue's imaginary love rival.

The kitchen instantly fell silent, everyone gazing eagerly at Ruixue. Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Another signature dish of the Leremin Tower, highly favored by aristocratic and official households. They had always believed this dish to be Wang Jiuzhi's exclusive secret recipe, never imagining it had originated from Ruixue.

However, Jiang Jinchen didn't care in the slightest. Leaning heavily on his sword, he actually began to test his footing, stepping forward to confront the immortals of the immortal realm.
