Volume One, Chapter 62: Be Obedient, Calm Down

“So, from now on, please always stay by my side! I don’t want to be apart from you anymore.” Yixuan whispered softly into Shanshan’s ear.

“Tell her to dress neatly that day. We can’t let the Prime Minister’s Residence lose face,” Ye Xiuyuan reminded. If it weren’t for financial difficulties, he would have liked Ye Wanling to wear a new set of hair ornaments as well.

In truth, Ji Qingnian had little acquaintance with the steward here. It was just that the steward had once, quite mysteriously, asked her for medicine to treat male impotence. She hadn’t known who he was at the time; it was only later she found out he was Chief Steward Niu of the Prince’s Mansion.

And so, the days passed by slowly and steadily. Tomorrow was the day of the dojo challenge. Today, Xia Yu and Shirona returned early from the Pokémon Club to the Pokémon Center.

“At last, it’s mega-evolved! Tyranitar, use Stone Edge!” As soon as she finished speaking, Tyranitar launched its attack at the newly evolved Garchomp.

Granny’s younger brother trusted that his employer would pull strings to settle the matter, so he kept his lips sealed about who his employer was.

Bao’er had deliberately sent Zhao Lanlan to file the report just to test her. Judging from the outcome, Zhao Lanlan clearly wasn’t a bad person, so Bao’er now wanted to win her over to her own camp.

This time, Gao Xiuju had gained enough self-cultivation and understanding of others, so she wouldn’t quarrel with Liu Wancheng over trivialities. She understood well that a single step back could open up a whole new horizon. Of course, being Zhang Jing’s apprentice hadn’t been for nothing.

Though he couldn’t sense the power of fate, Lord Bai Ze understood that this was yet another force unknown to him.

She’d thought that invoking the government’s authority would intimidate these thugs, but to her surprise, they acted as if nothing had happened, utterly unimpressed.

“But I clearly saw you throw in onions, and some scallions too,” Luo Xi said, rolling her eyes.

Compared to these poems, he cared more for the melody of the zither drifting from behind the screen. Looking out at the lake through the window, the sun was bright, the breeze gentle, and the waters untroubled.

Qu Wan’an and Madam Huo were never close—just an indifferent acquaintance. So upon returning to the country, she hadn’t contacted Madam Huo, nor mentioned the divorce.

You had your subordinate buy pastries for you. He searched the entire street and chose the very best pastry shop, buying your favorite treats. I remember Third Master’s preferences by heart.

Just then, a stream of black aura shot straight toward Sun Yunhao and the others’ island.

Sun Yunhao’s spiritual awareness now stretched out for a hundred yards in every direction. Only then did he dare proceed toward Crystal Jade Peak.

The sect competition was drawing near. Ji Qianli exited the ring, ready to rest for a while.

To display the strength of a peak God King at such a young age—no one could believe Bai Ye didn’t have some special means.

“Miss Ji, are you scared?” the head of the Medicine God Hall asked with a chuckle when she remained silent.

Immortality, dominion over the world—these were too distant, more like fantasies than true ambition.

Clearly, the risk of this battle was immense, almost like snatching food from a tiger’s jaws. Yet in these chaotic times, Lin Feng had no choice. From his standpoint, he could never allow the Eight Banners entrenched in Northern Manchuria to recover their strength.

They saw Fatty Zhou sitting on the ground, with a pool of blood beside him. The person who’d filed the report had explained it briefly, but as the company boss, Mr. Zhang was not about to take any single employee’s word for it; he had to find out the situation for himself.

Cao Sen listened in silence. Kong Mian was clearly no ordinary man; steeped in both Buddhist and Daoist insight, he might already have seen through Jingzhe’s true nature as a spirit. Cao Sen respected the words of this wise monk.

Mingmou was astonished, and sighed inwardly. Now that the Great Peng was fully healed, the Nine Nether Lotus Platform had been found in vain.

At Hu Qiang’s loud shouting, the card players immediately came out of the gatehouse. Hu Qiang’s identity was now very special. They had to guarantee his safety. In this compound, aside from Boss Gao Yang, he was arguably the most important person.

“That’s why I contacted your teacher, Ye Guyun, and placed the Wheel of Reincarnation with him. I believe that when the true inheritor of the Southern Cross appears, we are destined to meet.”

They traveled for over a month, yet what they saw and heard was only a fraction of what lay beneath the surface.

When her father arrived, Liu Ying’er, who had been beaming moments before, immediately wilted, lowered her gaze obediently, curtsied, and stepped aside.

“It seems something’s happening!” Nie Shao was startled awake as well. Hadn’t they said this peerless sword wouldn’t appear until the full moon? What was going on—had the divine weapon manifested early?

The two men released Xu Xia. She didn’t resist or try to escape but calmly walked down the steps of the dock and boarded the yacht.

Just as Hu Jiu had said, news of the divine beast’s emergence had overshadowed many schemes in the Sumeru Realm. Yet the more tumultuous the times, the more one had to stay vigilant. Before leaving, Mo Ran made careful arrangements for Tianyi Sect before setting out.

“Who are you?! This is the Yun Imperial Palace! What are you doing here?” Yun Wei retreated again and again, raising his voice—whether to bolster his own courage or call for help, it was hard to say. Yet, no matter how loudly he shouted, it seemed no one heard him.

Hua Qingyan picked a selection of each kind of pastry, packed them into three boxes, and instructed Hua Biluo to send one box to the men at the training grounds, another to the school, and finally took the last box herself, heading to the back courtyard with Aunt Ping.

ATV work, his own company… so many matters awaited him. As his wife, she couldn’t afford to hold him back.

Young Master Yu had come to Kaifeng for revenge, so he carried all sorts of odd things—sleeping pills, knockout drugs—thinking that if his plans failed, he could always take direct action.

A trickle of black blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, falling on his bloodstained clothes, blooming like a black lotus.

Once a man shoulders responsibility, does anyone else really need to worry? At most, when he can’t bear the weight, you lend a hand to steady him, that’s all.

Xu Dawei had once been a soldier under Leng Zirui, serving three years in the Hawk Squad with outstanding performance. Later, he was transferred to the SWAT team and achieved much as a captain. So how could he have been captured this time?
