Chapter 48: Second Master Prepares to Divide the Family

A dazzling radiance shot from the Phoenixblood Divine Furnace and slashed downward, colliding with the black iron chains binding the dragon corpse. The impact rang out like metal striking metal. Yet the result was astonishing: even a blow from the Phoenixblood Divine Furnace could not destroy the chains. The black links merely dragged the dragon corpse into a slight sway, remaining utterly unmoved.

Whenever Qin Chuyan thought of that scene, he would let out a strange laugh. His once-handsome face was now completely ruined.

The uninformed members of the ancient clans shouted from behind, but to no avail. More than a third of the young people in the great hall had already left. The rest remained inside, waiting for news.

When Kuang Longhu and Sun San shi heard that Li Changsheng had found a solution, their hearts settled considerably.

Everyone’s body trembled as one. Then they raised their heads and stared at Gao Tianxiong in shock and horror. At last, they understood why Mayor Gao had suddenly revealed such a terrified expression.

That was Li Lei—the underworld heavyweight. Had their boss really dealt with him just like that?

Su Yuemeng had thought her plan would be foolproof, but she had never expected that idiot to fail again. After learning that Grandma Shen was unharmed, she angrily berated the man.

Just then, the sky rumbled violently. When everyone looked up, they saw a column of armored soldiers appear. They wore black armor that gleamed with a chilling light. One of the generals looked barely more than twenty years old. Mounted on a dragon steed, he possessed an imposing and dignified bearing.

At that very moment, the lights suddenly went out. The concert was about to begin, and the host stepped onto the stage to deliver the opening address.

After all, the equipment he wore was so powerful that it could directly transform a player into an NPC.

Gu Chen raised his head and gazed intently at his surroundings, while the corner of his eye continued searching for traces of the Gale Wolf.

The Fifth and Seventh Princes, however, seemed to grow closer to the Sixth Prince. Yet beneath that closeness appeared to lurk the faintest trace of jealousy, which left Fu Xuechen utterly puzzled.

Ever since A Rui had come out last time, replenished the sweet-potato seller’s payment, and received a flood of gratitude and praise in return, the two seemed to have become familiar with each other when they met again.

Chen Ren opened the other two treasure chests to inspect them. One contained some gold and silver, while the other held an exquisite shell covered in ten tiny holes.

When Li Chunfeng opened his eyes again, he discovered that his hair had grown much longer. He had no idea how much time had passed, so he merely straightened up and moved his body to loosen it.

She turned around and happened to meet Xie Guan’s gaze. He held a folding fan in his hand and wore luxurious cloud brocade, looking every inch the elegant young gentleman.

The first ray of morning sunlight pierced through the dense forest and spilled across Shangguan Yanran’s face like liquid gold. A beauty capable of toppling cities and kingdoms was precisely what she was.

Relying solely on the ninja could indeed allow them to sense the destination, but for distances beyond a certain range, a carriage was still preferable. At the very least, it would minimize the ninja’s chakra consumption.

Perhaps it was because she was so beautiful that even her wickedness automatically gained several layers of flattering illusion.

Yet perhaps Heaven was fair after all. Although it had not granted her a happy, carefree family, it had at least given her a father’s love as deep and steady as a mountain. And now it had allowed her to meet Bo Yuzheng.

At that moment, a squad of soldiers guarded the great gate of Prus. When the two of them, Jiang Hai and his companion, approached, the soldiers swiftly raised their spears and surrounded them.

“I never would have guessed that you were so good at raising cacti, Zhou Zhu!” Chinna chatted with Fuji Shusuke as she selected flowers.

There was a garden beneath the hospital, along with a large artificial lake, making the surroundings exceptionally pleasant. Naturally, the air quality was also far better than in the city center.

Woqiang said this aloud, but his hands were not slow in the slightest. Without revealing anything, he slipped it into his robe.

She had not yet asked Gu Yucheng for his phone number or added him on WeChat. If she let him leave just like this, she probably would never have another chance to see him. Meeting him this year had likely consumed all the good fortune she would ever have in her lifetime.

Moreover, before she lost consciousness, the scene of someone holding her aloft and hurling her to the ground had remained vividly lodged in her mind. Whenever she thought of it, a sour ache rose in her heart, and she wanted to cry.

“Go easy on me.” Zhao Sisi smiled at Huang Xiang, then charged straight toward his left side, moving with astonishing slowness.

Sitting in the car returning to the Bo residence, with no outsiders present and no need to keep forcing herself to stay composed, she rested her head against the back of the seat and slowly closed her eyes.

Gu Chenjun raised an eyebrow, apparently surprised that An Xiaoxiao would ask such a question. Even so, he calmly leaned back against the sofa, bracing both elbows on its edge. Then, wearing a faint smile, he parted his thin lips and uttered three soft words.

Beside them, Yao Cancan gave a snort. Unable to bear watching any longer, she could not help interjecting, “You still have the nerve to show off? Weren’t you just as hopeless at holding a baby back then?”

“You actually intend to drain my vital energy!” Mo Yang closed her eyes, her chest heaving violently. Like an ant on a hot griddle, she paced about in frantic agitation.

Situ Moran merely swept the old man with a cold glance. With a lift of his hand, a streak of golden energy shot forth. To evade that force, the old man pointing at Situ Moran had no choice but to withdraw his finger.

Those words reached Feng Ji’s ears, and his brows drew together as well. For a moment, he said nothing, silently waiting for Mo Yang to continue.

It seemed that the days would not allow Xu Ruojin to rest peacefully until she had given birth. Two days later, Ye Weiyan arrived at the Princess’s Residence. This time, he had brought very few people—only Eunuch Tian and several imperial guards from the royal clan.

“Your Majesty!” When the soldiers and generals of Hailan Kingdom saw their king with his eyes tightly shut, their expressions changed drastically, and they rushed together toward the several princes.

“There are plenty of people chasing after me. Go get in line first.” Xu Chaomu replied indifferently, effectively refusing him.

How could she disobey her mother’s wishes? Like a puppet carved from phantom flowers, she allowed Chun’er to dress her in the outfit. The smoky pink made her look fresh and youthful, almost like a child. Would the emperor mistake her for an eight- or nine-year-old girl?

What on earth could Qin Zhou have described as so miraculous? Mo Yang could no longer suppress her curiosity. She immediately followed Qin Zhou to his courtyard.

She clenched her teeth and smiled as she praised her son, revealing not the slightest trace of anything amiss. Lord Luo, meanwhile, had spent many years honing himself in officialdom and had long since become an old fox. He was accustomed to keeping his emotions hidden. For a time, the atmosphere remained harmonious.
