Volume One, Chapter 50: She Actually Took Another Man to the Cemetery to Visit Her Parents?

The path to the cemetery seemed longer and heavier than usual.

Nanshan Cemetery.

Fu Yuting stood at the entrance. In the persistent drizzle, Bo Xingzhou gently held an umbrella over him, and the two walked side by side toward the graveyard.

“Grandpa Sun, could you please open the gate?” Fu Yuting’s voice carried through the security office—gentle, clear, tinged with a faint sorrow.

Gu Xiling’s furs, purchased from Qinglan County, fetched a good price, and the banknotes were delivered to the capital by the stewards.

Suddenly, a scream rang out. A powerful white figure leapt from nowhere, slammed into “Jiang Yincheng,” broke through the main gate, and rolled outside.

Yet the massive hand, torn in half, suddenly shuddered and quickly withdrew into the deep well—apart from the larger portion left behind, the other half slipped away and vanished.

This form of punishment was simpler than dismemberment, but the victim would not die immediately; instead, they would remain conscious, forced to endure the excruciating torment.

Not far away stood a fat, bald-headed man holding a cigar, his expression grave.

The smile on Gu Xirong’s face froze, realizing her younger sister truly had no intention of sparing her dignity.

Any carriage driver had to stop and wait for the road to be cleared before passing through.

With a single remark from Mo Xuanyu, the Seaquake Demon was left bewildered, while in the depths of the abyss, Calamity Grace nearly lost control, almost shaking the entire temple to its foundation in rage.

The unused wild beast jerky could be fed to Huang Shiren, making for an efficient use of resources—both of them had bright futures.

A phone vibrated on the table. Gu Zechen picked it up and saw a message from Xu An.

But was it truly as Her Highness said: the one who best understands how to share the emperor’s burdens is the true jewel in his heart?

Pidgeot’s evasive skills were superb—a swift turn allowed it to dodge the fire dragon’s blazing attack.

As everyone watched in curiosity, Absol’s expression contorted in pain and it slowly collapsed to the ground.

“This ring increases healing effects. I’m quite satisfied with it,” Ziling said, absentmindedly turning the blood-red ring in her fingers as she introduced it to the group.

“All right, shut that filthy mouth of yours and focus on tanking. Damn, I’m getting ready to bolt,” Ouyang Jue said, then suddenly broke into a run.

“Forget it, don’t overthink things. Worrying only adds to your troubles. Better to focus on breaking through with your mental strength. Envying others’ power is pointless; only by becoming stronger yourself can you prevail,” Mu Yi mused for a moment, then shook his head.

“Stop being shameless—it was clearly my graceful form that brought him down,” another flower spirit interjected.

The curved corridor, usually immaculate and solemn, now lay strewn with at least four or five guards, their bodies littering the blood-soaked marble.

“What could possibly escape the notice of an old man like me, who should have returned to dust long ago?” The Grand Elder glanced at Lan Rongyue, as if to say she was still too inexperienced.

“With respect!” After receiving their orders, Lingjiu and Nightingale led over three hundred birdfolk toward the ruins of Jie Xiong Kingdom to recover the bodies of their kin crushed by boulders.

“Good. The casualty rate has halved since last time. Notify Sun Weiguo of the following orders: First, the 93rd Battalion is to station at Gaomi Zhangling. Second, the 94th at Jinan East Gate. Third, the Independent Battalion at Yantai Coastal Defense Camp. Fourth, the militia remains stationed at Rizhao. Fifth, new recruits are to be sent to Chentuan Camp for training by the instructional team,” Chen Ning ordered.

His mastery of the Netherworld Spirit Power grew ever more refined. Cui Feng had carved a spacious, smooth stone chamber; curling up inside, he piled rotting branches at the entrance, then eagerly sat cross-legged and began circulating the Ten Halls Yama Technique.
