Volume One, Chapter 116: Truly My Wife, As Expected
Bo Xingzhou adjusted himself into a more comfortable position on the sofa, leaning slightly forward with his gaze fixed intently on Fu Yuting’s face, ready to listen attentively.
He could tell she was about to say something important.
In truth, Li Youcai’s inquiry about how Calicte conducted his trades was merely a ruse, intended to confuse him and make him believe that he too would try every means to negotiate, since he was unaware of his true identity.
“The dragonfish is a legendary creature, said to be the offspring of a divine dragon and a golden carp. It loves water and tranquility. More than that, it is rumored that obtaining the dragonfish can enable a high-ranking warrior to break through to the Immortal Sovereign level in one fell swoop. And there’s an even more marvelous effect—it can bring a cultivator back from the brink of death.”
“Tut tut,” Mu Lingfeng shook his head. He wasn’t after some grand magical artifact; after all that effort, couldn’t he at least get a green-grade item?
“What? Didn’t say anything? Which ear of yours heard us say anything?” One of the laborers puffed out his chest, brimming with confidence.
The old woman’s hand hurt, and as she loosened her grip, the egg fell to the ground, the white and yolk spilling out from the cracked shell.
“Alright! Bring it out, but you have to answer one question—no lying!” Mu Lingfeng smiled.
Li Youcai never quite grasped the exact mechanism; nor did he intend to. All he cared about was breaking through the core stage.
Night Elves and Blood Elves spoke different languages. The Night Elves’ Darnassian tongue was the root of all elven speech, while the Blood Elves’ Thalassian was more like a dialect. With the system’s aid, Qianmeng easily mastered Darnassian, then put away the mechanical roadblock and headed toward Auberdine.
Tephi stopped, drenched in sweat, swallowing hard as he gazed at the skeletal forest before him—like a realm from another world. Fearful, he dared not advance further, but seeing Luo Yue run farther and farther away, he gritted his teeth, swallowed his fear, and resigned himself to running into the skeletal forest.
The Icefang Frost Tiger had to exert greater effort to channel its energy against the biting cold, and such intense use of energy was only possible at the cost of burning its life force.
At that thought, Liang Xiao suddenly recalled he had been injured the previous night. He abruptly threw back the covers and, upon looking, realized all his wounds had already been treated.
When our wooden cabin was finally completed, I excitedly led her around inside, letting her familiarize herself with our new home.
Liu Tuo stepped forward boldly, standing before the jagged rock of Purple Moon Peak that resembled a sea patrol demon. With a thunderous punch, his fist seemed to cleave the mountain itself; ten-meter-high boulders exploded violently, stirring up a hundred-meter-high dragon cloud.
Chang Xin was anxious and without ordering a drink, sat down and began recounting that eerie tale.
Liang Xiao took the list and began to scan it carefully. As he read, Master Lu Qi beside him acted as a commentator, explaining each item as Liang Xiao’s gaze landed on it.
Gradually, I grew restless with the Spirit Realm alone. I shattered the barrier of the void and descended into the mortal world to partake in war, laying waste to millions, rivers running red with blood. The indiscriminate slaughter, devoid of right or wrong, brought me a deeper satisfaction. Unconsciously, I had carved out a formidable reputation across the Three Realms.
Not hearing the answer he expected, Qin Junxi was momentarily at a loss.
Liu Yan spread both palms, silently uttering the word “Rise.” Two vast currents of dragon energy burst forth from his hands, passing beneath Xiao Qian, lifting her into the air as though held by two immense hands out of thin air.
