Volume 1, Chapter 27: A New Boyfriend?

Once the Prince had spoken, half of the courtiers shrewdly shifted their stance, offering their blessings and expressing their full support.

"Indeed, they are merely pathetic fools, blinded by desire and lost, ultimately destined to rot here," Asahi sighed. "Once the mystery of the Land of Shenghua is unraveled, the treasure will naturally be found." As he said this, Asahi cast a quiet glance at the old woman beside him.

Stewart took less than a second to cast the two Verdicts of the Arbiter. Just as the second was released, a long black blade appeared ghost-like behind him, stabbing viciously toward his heart.

Just as Lang Qi was thinking this, Chocolate had already answered for him, and followed up with words that surprised him even more.

From this moment on, he would gradually execute his grand counterattack. It would begin at Fengmen Village, first covering the entire Weilan Star, and then, using that as his base, he would rapidly expand across the Three Realms and the Heavens.

He had expected him to head toward the Elf Forest, but unexpectedly, the guy took a massive detour and appeared in a completely different direction, where he wreaked havoc on the branch temples of the God of War in nearby cities.

Suddenly, Lang Qi heard Gana’s voice, and then he saw the attack flying toward him blocked by a massive magic circle. The violent explosion was inches away, yet he felt not a hint of the shockwave.

The reason was simple: he lacked military power and was unfamiliar with the generals. Once he began vying for the throne against the other princes, Yan Dan’s position would become incredibly precarious. As the Crown Prince, he was a tall tree that caught the wind; the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the gale. Although the other princes were young, their elders would certainly unite to eliminate him early on.

That silver-bell laughter, soft and supple yet brimming with allure, made one’s bones feel weak and one’s ears flush with heat.

This made him want to give up right then and there. As people often said, he had already proven his strength and had no need to continue struggling against this Heavenly Tier.

Fields like agricultural biology and genetics were closely related to the study of crop varieties, thus requiring a diverse range of research personnel.

Having been colleagues for decades, although they were superior and subordinate in the library, they had long been friends in their private lives.

Their hides were thick and hard to pierce, often making it impossible to break through their defense for a long time. Their claws were sharp, too; a single swipe would take ages to heal. Damn it, why hasn't this species of merman gone extinct yet?

"To be a beast of burden? That won't be necessary." As Xiao Ha spoke, he had already stepped out from the flames.

Sun Yi’s words were simple. Yet, it was precisely that simplicity that revealed his resolute desire to leave the Nice team.

"A fine skill, but words alone are not proof. How about we make a wager? If you win, I shall grant you the position of the Jade Emperor. If I win, stop making a scene here and return to Huaguo Mountain!" Duo Bao Tathagata said with a chuckle.

"Is that so?" Chen Dun retorted. Just as Cao Zheng expected him to press further, he suddenly turned to Shen Changxing.

"Is he insinuating Yan Song?" The Jiajing Emperor’s tone betrayed no emotion, but Huang Jin heard the precursor of his rage in his breathing, and his eyelids could not help but twitch.

Seeing this, the man’s brows flickered slightly. He tapped his toes on the spine of his sword, performed a mid-air somersault, spun to draw his blade, and slashed down from the sky.

Houmochen Sheng was stunned, tilting his head as he questioned Cui Luo if he truly did not care about Cui Chan’s life. Cui Luo glanced at Cui Chan and shook his head gently.

The Dragon God of the Three Seas knew exactly what was happening; taking advantage of the high spirits and flowing wine of the Four Seas soldiers, he quietly left his seat and followed the Fifth Prince.

"Yes, this is news from one of Skynet’s subordinates," Zhang Yu replied. "The most important thing now is that we don't know why they have become so frenzied, so we feel there is nowhere to start." Zhang Yu voiced his concern.

Zhang Yu’s family was doing fine, but for others—the other families in the village—life was slowly becoming difficult.

"Living experimental subjects for mutants?" If that were true, it would indeed be a fine gift, one that could win some rewards for his department; then, the non-combatant personnel might be able to eat better than they currently did, Long Zheng pondered to himself.

Who would have thought a "Cheng Yaojin" would pop out of nowhere, and one who even managed to anger their great backer, Qin Guangling, into leaving?

Ning Xia curled her lip at him, thinking to herself that he was quite the actor; she wondered how stunned he would be when he saw the hotel room later.

As this yin energy entered his body, the sealed yin energy within him began to stir. Fortunately, Ye Feng suppressed it himself, causing the internal energy to become docile once more.

The Heavenly Secret Elder was similar in some ways, though even more unfathomable. He gave off an air of mystery, wielding six copper coins—three for divination, and three for attack.

At that moment, shadows flickered in the apricot grove, startling Silver Snow so much she nearly cried out. Upon closer inspection, the shadow was none other than Jing Dan.

"Is Brother resting?" Mother had said that if Brother was resting, one must never disturb him.

The people present looked at one another, none daring to step forward. Although Qi Ji had a formidable background they all wished to curry favor with, Zong Zheng was a disciple of the Carefree Blessed Land—even if only an outer disciple, he was not someone they could afford to provoke. Naturally, no one wanted to get involved in this mess.

In fact, this was not strange at all; the Desert of Sand was the old lair of the Demon Sect, so it was perfectly reasonable for their disciples to appear there.

The three geniuses of the Jiu Sha clan were no match for Ji Fan. Now, with only one left, facing the fierce onslaught of Ji Fan and his nine puppets, he had almost no power to resist.

Mu Chen placed the fragment into his Void Rope. Although he had not yet collected all the pieces, having the fourth one in hand brought him a sense of peace.

The three ghost-fire skulls exploded in succession, turning into a cloud of dust. The triangular space in the center rippled violently as the spatial passage rapidly closed. Yet, countless evil spirits and fierce ghosts still charged toward the outside, unwilling to surrender.
