Volume One, Chapter 21: The Sole Legacy

At that moment, he drew out twelve shadowless needles, releasing them all in one swift, seamless motion, targeting the assassins’ vital points without hesitation or delay.

He was angered by my words, his eyes blazing with fury, yet he still held back from making a move. Honestly, I wasn’t sure if I could withstand it if he truly tried to kiss me then. This was indeed a tormenting trial.

For the first time, Chu Liangrao felt her own face was provoking a desire to be slapped—her private matters laid bare before others, while she remained ignorant of theirs. Yet, she couldn’t very well thrash someone on their own turf, could she?

Xia Hongmang followed closely behind. That wretched Xia Shuangbai had given a sharp warning: she had to keep a close eye on Murong Xuan, not allowing him any moment alone with Xia Shuangbai. So despite her wounds still aching, she came along nonetheless.

The noble lady’s once rosy complexion shifted markedly; she intended to provoke a few words but ended up only embarrassing herself.

Hua Weilu was already conflicted, and now urged by Zhishan, she instantly unleashed her internal energy. In her palm appeared five colors—gold, green, blue, red, and brown—intertwining and shimmering until they merged into a radiant, multicolored talisman.

So, it was just a notification? The Empress realized but bore no resentment. After all, he was merely an illegitimate child; if he wanted it, so be it—especially given his considerable power now.

As the words were spoken, everyone loudly echoed, “Sisterhood, never changing!” Then, each finished their drink, laughing heartily together.

Qin Yihuai was startled, fearing something had gone wrong, and rushed over. He didn’t even dare call out, only reaching to sense Qin Yaozong’s breath, which was slow and steady.

However, they knew they couldn’t afford any delay—if they did, Cangcang’s life would be in grave danger.

The assembly erupted into a chorus of curses. Some young, strong nobles even attempted to storm the podium to directly attack Chen Zaixing, but a squad of royal guards rushed in from outside and drove them back. Chen Zaixing glanced at the chaotic chamber with a disdainful smirk.

Lei nodded slightly. He didn’t understand why Gaster would dispatch his finest troops, but that wasn’t his concern. What mattered was that since this army was composed of slaves and paupers, if Alexander sided with him, this force would become his loyal subordinates.

Wu Yong hadn’t really fallen asleep; he simply lay on the folding bed until noon, occasionally opening his eyes to secretly watch Xue Yaha doing chores.

“What good does shouting do? I just tested—she only fainted. Her breathing is steady; she should be fine,” Wu Yong said. At that moment, Jiang Gan also arrived, leaving only Butterfly’s friend still arguing with the car owner.

Even in this "real" world, Chen Yin’s sixth-sense-like ability to foresee danger didn’t fail despite leaving the spatial realm. At the moment he sensed the threat, Chen Yin drew the Blood Killing Sword and suddenly spurred his horse forward.

“Eh? Am I the one at fault?!” Lumina pointed at her face in surprise, staring dumbfounded at Erlico.

The attire system activated, drawing particles and antiparticles from the quantum vacuum. The particles formed normal matter, enveloping Chen Chen’s body, while the antiparticles became antimatter, stored in the antimatter container on his chest.

“Be mindful of the priests’ strength—don’t bring along weaklings. This time there might be casualties, so those who only seek favors and credit need not come,” a comrade chuckled, then awkwardly clicked his tongue, realizing he was quite adept at currying favor and riding coattails.

Chen Chen slowly approached the night owl, silently watching the two bodies covered with white cloths.

When the Bright Army retreated three hundred zhang from the northern Yun family troops, the Yun army ceased fire, allowing them to leave. The Yun troops were not afraid of night battles, but the darkness was prone to sudden changes. Now, they only needed to hold their ground steadily, an order from Yun Yi.

Thinking of the new advertising endorsement he just accepted, Bao Eleven wondered if he had dug a huge pit for life insurance.

This sight made Zhao Shuai break out in a cold sweat. After directing the security, he hurried to arrange a parking spot for Zhong Yue’e, as if seeing Yu Yan walking in the drizzle wearing a white sweater.

On the night of May 27th, the upper echelons of the Yun clan received news: the fleet had discovered a "New World."

Accompanied by growing sounds, dazzling white lights gradually approached the crowd.

Though somewhat confusing, Bao Eleven couldn’t help but feel he and Shen Ming were very alike. If Shen Ming could survive, could it mean Bao Eleven, after a close encounter with death, might also escape the grasp of the Reaper and live on?

The general leading the troops out of the city was startled awake by the hail of arrows; in the next moment, his body was pierced by countless arrows.

Ye Xuan’s tone was stern and slightly raised, carrying a faint aura of authority.

Du Shiyan resolved silently to find a way to cultivate. This was too fascinating. When she returned home, she would ask her grandfather and father why she couldn’t practice cultivation like the rest of her family—what was wrong with her body?

After they left, the Ban family ordered Coral to personally guard the second gate and wait for You Zhen to return before summoning him.
