Chapter 39: Immortal Lord Xuanshuang

Yu Wanqiao ultimately decided to take Jingtang away.

The two arrived in front of a tea shop. Jingtang flopped down onto a seat, propped her chin in her hands, and let out a sigh. "How could my bone essence possibly be there?"

Yu Wanqiao shrugged. "Perhaps this is fate." Even she could not accept the fact that no matter what she did, she was destined to encounter those five people. At the mere thought of Momo Wuzhu, Jingtang felt a surge of rage.

In the imperial court, there were many who were at odds, yet few would openly tear down the facade. No matter how deep the hatred, they kept it buried, greeting one another with smiles as if they were old friends.

"The security handled by the Shen family?" The Shen family’s security firm was legendary in the United States. Many politicians and wealthy merchants collaborated with them precisely because they specialized in protecting things that could not see the light of day.

Wang Caiying nodded. The dream had been so vivid; when they woke up that morning and compared notes, they were truly startled. Yet, because of this dream, the sorrow in their hearts had lessened significantly.

As she walked slowly forward, the eyes of the crowd grew fervent. Unlike the fervor directed at Yu Xunzhen, this was filled with lewdness, as if they longed to rush forward and ravage this sexy, bewitching creature.

Xu Yunlong let out a muffled groan, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, yet he remained lying there, his gaze locked onto Luo Hengji, the cold chill in his eyes undiminished.

The calm state of affairs left Uchiha Obito deep in thought. Aside from ordering surveillance on every move within the Hidden Mist Village, there was nothing left to do but wait.

"How could you tell?" Lord Shen asked in surprise. "Dad and Mom also say I look like me." But he really could not see the resemblance.

Now, an Ice King Palace had also appeared on the frozen northern plains of the Creation God Continent, far removed from the Six Realms.

After evolving, Sylph leaped directly to the peak of the Gold rank. While her other skills remained unchanged, her growth potential had become Legendary. If Sylph were at the Legendary rank, her kin would ascend to Gold—which, for a race best suited as scouts, was more than enough.

Whoosh! Crack! The steel staff was easily snapped in two by the black rod formed from the Future Truth-Seeking Ball. Determined to avenge his teammate, Akimichi Choza did not retreat; he immediately discarded the broken staff and swung his fist toward Future.

That was truly, particularly punchable! The child was already over ten years old! A father at twenty? That was quite a thought.

Passing through the front hall of "Zhihe Studio," just as he stepped into the middle courtyard, Manager Fang hurried to greet them, his forehead glistening with sweat.

"The price of reinforcement scrolls has risen so much!" Just as they arrived at the blacksmith shop, they heard Xinyan complaining to Su Xue about the exorbitant cost of the scrolls.

He wore a serious expression, as if the person who had just been acting like a hooligan toward her was someone else entirely. An Nuan blushed to the very roots of her neck.

Opposite this peerless Emperor sat a ten-thousand-foot-tall Great Buddha. I carefully sensed the aura of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s physical body and felt it was much weaker than it had been three years ago.

"Master Xu, you flatter us." This time, Li Qitang and I spoke in unison. Li Qitang met my gaze and offered a faint smile.

I truly wonder why this Dragon God, for the sake of a single meal, would sacrifice his own kin. It is clearly cold and heartless, yet he remains so smug.

After all, both were highly capable actors. Even with camera trickery, they made it look incredibly realistic. However, at the end, when Lu Jingzhong was half-naked, pressing down to kiss Lan Xuan in her bathrobe, I simply turned around and walked upstairs.

Lu Chengxi asked coldly, but Han Yize clearly heard the shift in his tone and sheepishly withdrew his hand.

"Eh? Are they releasing mounts?" As we walked along the road, Su Xue suddenly asked in surprise.

I checked the time; it was already quite late. It didn't matter anymore that I was late, and whether I worked or not held little significance. I was merely doing it so I wouldn't feel so lonely.

Of course, for a student like Tang Zhichao, unless the school arranged for two days of classes and five days of rest, it was impossible to feel at peace or find any beauty in life.
