Chapter 71: Borrowing Words and the Return of Sweetness
He let out a silent sigh, then slowly sat up. Immediately, a disciple lifted the door curtain and walked out. He knew that was to notify Yu Xuerui.
But one could only hide for a time, not forever. Since he had chosen this path, he had to walk it to the end.
Guo Yun remembered something and asked again, "San'er, what is your purpose in participating in this series of competitions? Do you really want to marry Zhao Fei?" His son had never gotten along with the princess; three years ago, he had even been framed and exiled to the Demon Realm. He must only feel hatred for her.
The supervisor adjusted his glasses, his eyes squinted even thinner than a thread. Xia Haitong didn't understand—could he still see anything with his eyes like that?
"Her Majesty the Empress has arrived! Consort Yuan has arrived! The honored one has just now come!" The eunuch's shrill announcement was especially loud, as if reminding her of something.
The weather was gloomy and overcast; the sun had only a faint halo left. The layer blocking it outside was either clouds or mist, but below, the weather was very dry. It was the turn between autumn and winter; the rain had long since gone, and the snow hadn't yet arrived.
By comparison, one could see how astonishing Li Yan's performance was. However, those familiar with him were all members of the Starlight Mercenary Corps, and they were all warriors. They didn't know much about mages' specific circumstances. Although they knew Li Yan had tremendous potential, they didn't find it too earth-shattering.
But no matter how much he asked, Hu Yang wouldn't say anything, only telling him not to ask anymore. Between him and Su Xi, from now on, they would just be friends.
Xi Zhengxuan took one look at the made-up Rong Yue, a trace of slight surprise flashing in his eyes. Then, without changing expression, he greeted Rong Jun and Li Peilan.
They could have dealt with Rong Yue last time, but it had dragged on until now. Who knew if there would be more complications later?
Occasionally, Yan Danren would only wear a single layer of clothing. When eating, he would inevitably feel a bit cold. When he was cold, he would glance meaningfully at Chi Pingguo. If Chi Pingguo noticed, she would go find his coat and help the Second Prince put it on. If Chi Pingguo didn't notice, Yan Danren would use his chopsticks to tap his bowl, waiting for Chi Pingguo to turn around, then glance meaningfully at her again.
The audience was already stunned. Those watching the program all knew that Song Yuqing danced in the show; if they paid a bit more attention, they also knew he could play musical instruments. But singing—this was truly the first time they'd seen it.
"We have to persevere. There's always a way out if we think of one," this service attendant was still willing to stay.
Lu Bei had agreed to go drinking with Jiang Nan tonight, but when he heard that Lin Shengtian's casino was opening, he seized the opportunity to swindle Lin Shengtian.
Gao Lan looked at her watch. "Time's up!" After saying that, she raised her head to look at the moonlight, when suddenly a strong beam of light shot over, passing through a gap in the branches and landing right beside her.
But unexpectedly, a dense mass of dark figures suddenly flew out from under the eaves of the Dragon Hall, as light and agile as bats. Each was clad in sharp armor, their moves strange and changeable, yet their hands rose and fell with blades, incredibly sharp.
Zhou Mulin was startled, thinking that if it really was like that, the river was so big—where would she even start looking?
Arriving at the capital, Mu stepped off the plane and was about to go get his luggage when he happened to encounter Xiao Junyan standing by the luggage carousel.
Yuqiu Ping and Naoe Tadahei were sighing when they suddenly noticed that Yuqiu Shang and Naoe Tohei hadn't said much. Yuqiu Shang was naturally taciturn, so it was normal for him to be quiet. But Naoe Tadahei was usually a chatterbox—why was he so silent now?
After eating lunch at Old Master He's house, Hong Tu took Guan Peipei to visit Old Master Cai in the afternoon. Hong Tu and Guan Peipei had a few cups of tea at Old Master Cai's place, handed over the gifts they had prepared for him, and then returned to the Three Realms Mountain.
"How am I talking nonsense? When your older brother was young, every time he wanted to sneak out to see your sister-in-law, he'd make me cover his shift. And every time, he'd personally pour me a drink, okay?" Ikeda Tsuneaki's face reddened as he shouted, making the surrounding customers look over, causing Yuqiu Ping great embarrassment.
"So what if I am, so what if I'm not?" Yuqiu Ping took a deep breath, then refocused his eyes on Miyoshi Yoshitaka's face.
Suddenly, Lin Feiyu's eyes moved. She raised her hand and looked at her wrist. On her wrist, the electronic device common to all Dragon Soul members flashed, and a striking message appeared.
His physique was really good—not overly muscular, not scrawny either. In short, it was full of masculine charm, very sexy.
Meiniang had found solace within the Red Lotus Society, successfully brainwashed. Whenever she had money, she immediately offered it to Jiao Sanqing. Every day she gathered with sisters like Big Sister Wang to discuss the teachings. On the first and fifteenth of each month, she would go to the temple to personally listen to Jiao Sanqing's teachings.
Yes, for the competition between the secular world and the ancient martial world, where the ancient martial world would obey the orders of the secular world, they had to take first place. Any other rank wouldn't matter.
"Huawei, who are you looking for?" Seeing Jiang Huawei looking around, Liu Qiang asked curiously.
"These are the three drops of immortal mermaid tears you wanted!" Jin Jue said somewhat painfully, taking out a seashell. He stroked it repeatedly for a long time before handing it to Ningxin.
With each click of the mouse, the dialogue—still without voice for now—advanced the plot step by step. Even though he already knew what would happen next, Tomoya still had an excited expression on his face.
When the four of them entered the main hall, they saw six fierce-looking ghost officers sitting inside. In front of them was a long table with a registry and a stack of tokens. The tokens were inscribed respectively with: Heavenly Path; Human Path; Asura Path; Animal Path; Hungry Ghost Path; Hell Path.
Because their bullets and cannon fire hit the soldiers of the Xiongbing Company, they couldn't even damage the black armor on their bodies, let alone hurt them.
At least, not asking about the past and only judging by what he had seen and heard since coming to this world—that was indeed the case.
"Boom!" A wind tunnel suddenly appeared in the space. Lilia exclaimed, "It's Agares!" As she spoke, she immediately blocked herself in front of Li Muyang.
People struggling between ideals and reality, those who give up and compromise in the face of harsh reality, have no right to be ridiculed by bystanders who are unaffected.
Now they knew that to pass through that area, they needed to use the Bloodfall Fruit, but they had no idea how to use it. They had tried many methods but couldn't suppress the Myriad Yin Insects.
With each hand seal that entered, Yu Heng couldn't help but grunt softly, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
