Chapter 62: The Kept Mistress

Fortunately, a flick of the instep followed, executing a sword flourish in mid-air to open the performance.

The thin veil on Wen Changying's face could conceal nothing.

She tried her best to avoid that burning gaze, steadying her mind.

Why was Song Guanshi here?!

Had he not just taken office in the Ministry of Personnel, and just as the Song family was rising in favor, was he not banished far from the capital by Xie Genghe?

That scorching, clinging gaze—Wen Changying could swear the man had definitely recognized her.

This fellow had been on very good terms with Xie Genghe last time.

The four-man iron pillar traced an arc through the air, instantly hurtling toward Sun Wufan, Jiang Chen, Sun Wutian, and Bidaier.

The man who called himself one of the Four Underworld Men and went by the moniker of Artisan pointed his thumb at his nose and shouted loudly—truly a grating gesture.

Mitarashi Anko reached out and pulled Uzumaki Naruko and Uchiha Sasako behind her for protection.

As the Third Gate opened, the ground beneath Leiyu's feet began to fracture, and Leiyu's chakra began to manifest outwardly in a tangible form.

The fissure expanded. Pandora leaned on a black trident utterly disproportionate to her figure, stepped forward, and entered the pitch-black rift first.

Kankuro helplessly covered his forehead. This was not the first time Gaara had zoned out; in fact, ever since returning from Konoha—or rather, ever since she last saw her big brother Uchiha Chenyan—she frequently fell into such trances, leaving one completely clueless about what was going on inside her head.

Though she said this aloud, in her heart she subjected Fang Tian to a hundred and eight different forms of abuse, torturing him in a thousand ways while hypnotizing herself with Ah Q-style spiritual defense: 'I am sacrificing myself for the sake of science!'

Before they could react, Gong Feiyu directly swung his finger-sword, sweeping horizontally across. Everything before his eyes was cleaved in twain, flesh and blood flying. With another thrust, he pierced the bottom of the Celestial Dragon's ship, and seawater began to pour in endlessly.

The Land of Ancient Gods harbored trials specifically designed to test inheritors, but what this ancient god did not know was that while he chose to pass down his legacy to posterity, demonic thoughts had formed—or perhaps, this evil intent was himself all along, merely stripped of his past memories.

"Boss, what happy thoughts are you having? Look at that beaming smile on your face," a voice suddenly reached the boss's ears.

Some stones resembled oxen, others resembled monkeys, and one even looked like a coiling dragon, appearing startlingly lifelike as if it were a living creature.

Fortunately, when sealing yesterday, Lan Buwang had already discovered the profound mystery of the Qi-Sensing Seal: when attempting to sense the vital breath of heaven and earth and temper the soul, the physical body would cease all activity, entering a state of embryonic respiration.

By then, the vast universe and the lives of millions of common folk would truly count for nothing compared to the lives of the child and Ling Ke.

Therefore, Xu Mu was growing increasingly weary of the entertainment industry, yearning more and more to return to the life of an ordinary person.

"System, do you have any good suggestions?" Qin Ming ultimately failed to decide what to buy, so he directly consulted the system.

People from Wen Dao Academy were people from Wen Dao Academy; they might go to higher institutions for further studies, but there was never any talk of defecting to other factions.

"Wife, don't you think we might have seen this man just now somewhere before?" Wang Dabao suddenly asked in a low voice.

When Ye Hua scooped Donghuang Li into his arms, he realized that their bloodlines were connected. Could she be his child? Had she popped out of a rock cleft, or grown from a vine?

Today's drama was naturally arranged by them, specifically designed to let He Hongying hear Su Changxing confess without torture, completely resolving the matter.

After all, the idea proposed by Liu Wanfu could not simply be called bold military deployment; it was practically courting death.

Meanwhile, Qin Yibai, rushing to meet the two of them, was repelled by their ferocious force, flying backward like a kite with a snapped string.
