105 Succubus (13)

Qi Han collapsed to the ground, his head bloodied. Before he could recover from the dizziness, one of Yin He’s men grabbed him by a handful of hair and dragged him forcibly before Yin He, compelling him to lift his blood-stained face.

On his pale cheek, aside from the bruises left by Yin Langge’s fingers earlier, a fresh, swollen welt had blossomed from a heavy blow.

Tao Wanbai looked at Jian Rui with a serious expression and said, "Jian Bao, don't forget the three-month agreement you made with Mother." With that, she brushed off her hand and strode away.

Liang Yunbei was clearly looking to vent her anger; she would just have to endure it. She did not want Ye Tangyin to get into a conflict with anyone.

"Is this the extent of your skill? It seems that the sacred-level technique 'Demon Prohibition' is nothing more than this," the Empress said with disdain.

Even the servants who followed the mages could not sincerely or honestly claim that they followed them for the sake of goodness and beauty. In fact, they might follow mages for all sorts of reasons, but true goodness and beauty were perhaps the least likely among them.

He Qimo was a good man; aside from the fact that he would not marry her, she felt he was as close to a perfect husband as one could get.

Yet, because of these words, his favorable impression of Yin Lian deepened. That Yin Lian could think for others with such empathy was proof of her kind heart. As for being a bit calculating, as long as her heart was good, she would not cause anyone any harm.

Xue Sha was a demon, and a Heavenly Demon at that; his blood carried the inherent violence of a demon, and his slaughter was equally terrifying. Thus, Lin Sheng’s attitude was essentially that of Xue Sha.

Xia was focused on flipping through the exquisite invitation card, unaware of Chen Fangping’s arrival, let alone the fact that he had changed his clothes.

The two arrived in front of the orphanage building, but they did not see any other children along the way, which struck Lin Yuan as very strange.

Jia Xu was also very satisfied with Li Yang’s grasp of the current situation. Li Yang had not been involved in the beginning of the incident and had only jumped in halfway, yet he already knew when to say what and how to act. This was indeed very rare.

Finally, she awoke, though she remained dazed for a long time. Xia lowered her eyes, thinking of the scene from her dream. To her, this dream had been a nightmare for several years, yet it had not appeared for a long time recently. Tonight, however, it had returned, leaving her with a complex mix of emotions.

Lin Yuan did not want to interrupt, but Hazel’s occasional glances made him feel puzzled. Hazel did not usually act like this; what was wrong with her today?

After the morning exercises, everyone returned to their cells, holding their enamel bowls in preparation for breakfast, when Old Wang came over again.

Although some were puzzled as to why the Princess had not returned for so long, Qiong Yu had been here the whole time, and since no bad news had come from the border, they lived their lives in peace without much worry.

After everyone had left, the father and son sat opposite each other, both silent, the atmosphere heavy.

Under the surprise attack at such close range, their figures were almost instantly swallowed by the pillar of yellow sand.

Su was not entirely foolish. Although Xia’s tone was harsh, he could still perceive the kindness beneath it. Feeling anxious, he followed Xia’s figure back home in a dejected manner.

As soon as the red light appeared, it shattered, turning into tiny red fragments that scattered and sprinkled into every corner of the blue space.

No one noticed Blake staring at the footprints on the ground with a furrowed brow, a deep sense of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Lin Peng was startled; he had not expected the other party to start crying while talking! He hurriedly tried to comfort her, flustered and confused.

Karl bluntly pointed out what Qiao Ji was hiding and revealed a bit of knowledge to show that he, too, was a professional.

Just as Ya Xiu finished speaking, a crystal ball appeared a meter in front of Dean. It floated in mid-air, crystal clear and emitting a soft, colorful light, looking quite beautiful.

As soon as they left the city of Bailao Gate, Xi’er saw from afar that the Xiliang army camp was a stark white under the night sky. It turned out the soldiers were dressed in mourning clothes, and white cloth had been hung throughout the camp.

"Xia Xia, where am I?" Xia Xia turned her head and found that Zuolun had sat up.

"Are we still fighting?" Zixun’s hand was already pressed against Muxue’s shoulder. "You’re despicable! You’re cheating!" Muxue’s face turned green with anger; this was clearly bullying her for being a beginner!

However, just as he was channeling his spiritual energy to send the Huayan Pill away, Zhuang Jian waved his hand, a playful smile appearing in his eyes.

Upon learning that the White Tiger Demon Lord was using a delaying tactic, the Loyal and Righteous Monkey devised a plan: have the official army move the granary to the plains in the southeast, stockpile a large amount of grain, and station old, weak, and disabled soldiers to guard it. This would attract the White Tiger Demon Lord’s attention and lure him into attacking in person, allowing them to annihilate his forces in one fell swoop.

She did not know what the temperament of the disaster victims was like, but to have escaped to the capital from such a catastrophe, their capabilities and methods could be imagined.

Her gaze was too intense, carrying the same emotions that Ai Su had once seen in Fu Yanxi’s eyes. Ai Su suddenly understood what Su Yuan wanted to say, yet she could not walk away.

This thing was so terrifying that even someone suffering from a cerebral thrombosis could break a hundred-meter dash record just by seeing it; its very appearance was enough to incite infinite fear.

Feng Kai still didn't say a word. This guy was like a hedgehog—untouchable, with a terrible temper and a highly defensive nature.

He had long been accustomed to such gazes, but every time he was watched, a sense of soreness and helplessness would still well up in his heart.

Since Fu Yanxi had promised the old man, he certainly had to go. Since she was in his body now, she naturally had to go in his stead.

Zhou Huaimo walked into the tea room, his gaze sweeping across the room and pausing when he passed Yu Yao.

If the ninjas of the ninja world knew of the power of this Ope-Ope Fruit, it would surely cause a frenzy.

Yang Simu had already unfurled the Night Practice Scroll, and both he and his opponent were trapped within a black-and-white scene.

The driver, Uncle Liu, was a bit confused. Although it was a bit cold outside, it was not yet time to turn on the air conditioning. He met Fu Chen’s eyes in the rearview mirror and hesitated.

Then, amidst the blade-like, cutting force of the gray mist and the entanglement of the white chains...

Just as the old emperor was about to confer this title upon Qiu Tian, the cry of "Victory" resounded throughout the Imperial Garden, gripping the hearts of all present.
