Volume 1, Chapter 32: Why Must You Make Things Difficult for a Young Girl?

Cheng Xi was stunned.

Liu Suyi was consumed by jealousy. Why did Hua Nongying always have the best of everything? She shot a fierce glare at Hua Nongying, but then her gaze fell upon Mu Zhen. Remembering that he was nothing more than a simple-minded fool who might be deposed at any moment, she felt slightly better.

Although the mage had been gripped by extreme terror moments ago, the relief of surviving left him both shocked and overjoyed. He did not believe that Fang Yun could possibly have any skills left.

However, although the evolvers from the Ark Space had managed to activate several defensive skills in the short time available thanks to their quick reflexes, these could only protect them momentarily. As for the others, even those with defensive skills were inevitably torn to pieces, maimed, or sent flying by the sheer force of the violent explosion.

"Heh, even if the odds of victory are slim, he is reeking of deathly aura. I am already in an invincible position; a battle is not necessarily unwinnable!" Jiang Yi chuckled to himself.

You snatched away everything that should have been mine, just as your mother snatched away everything that should have belonged to my mother. And now, you still put on this hypocritical display of brotherly affection and maternal love? Hmph! The day I conquer the city of Luoyang, I will make sure you and your mother taste what it is like to have everything stripped away from you.

When he spoke the words "sword scar," we could not help but detect a hint of admiration in the Blade God’s tone.

I turned to look at Officer Yang and noticed his expression growing increasingly grave. It was clear that he was thinking the same thing as I was.

He recalled the first time he was sold; that man had sold him to the household of Ji Pingzi for forty taels of silver.

After kicking the door open, he discovered the room was completely empty, causing the Shadow King’s single eye to narrow instantly.

Li Jinger was unsure of what Cao Ge was thinking at that moment... Usually, when she acted coquettish and charming, he would always watch her with a smile.

"Joking?" I had no idea what she was talking about; she had exhausted every ounce of reason left in my mind.

"Reporting to the Commandant, General Yan has issued an order for you to take command of the battle," a messenger said respectfully. Facing an army of a hundred thousand outside the city, he showed no fear at all. Instead, a look of anticipation appeared on his face; clearly, he felt immense pride in following a warrior as brave as Ge Xi, even if it meant dying in battle.

If Tao Yingxuan hadn't been flaunting herself in front of her that day, saying such unpleasant things, would she have taken her to the silver shop just to provoke her?

As he pushed open that cold, heavy wooden door once more, a wicked curve formed at the corner of his mouth.

Yun Piaoying spoke up this time: "The raft was destroyed, and everyone was scattered. The floating island happened to drift by at that moment, so I brought you aboard. Since you are unharmed, take care of yourself." With that, she walked away.

After speaking, I gathered my resolve and downed the red wine in my glass in one go. A slight frown flickered across my brow before I returned to my seat.

They walked toward the wooden pier, where the sea breeze blew against their faces, feeling exceptionally cool and refreshing.

"That old wretch wouldn't dare. You must reveal the news of your pregnancy to him; that is your only bargaining chip," the man coached patiently, explaining the next steps.

"You should stay here. Do not worry; if it truly is A-Zhan, then it is the Supreme Emperor who should be worried," the Queen Mother said with a smile.

"Qin Qi, Brother Han, you two?" Gu Xinyue did not show the same joy she usually would at the mention of money. Instead, she sighed softly, looked at Qin Qi, and then gazed at the back of Qin Mohan’s head in front of her.
