Chapter 032: The Legend of Zhen Huan, An Lingrong

“It’s not that easy.” Shen Meizhuang smiled silently. “I’m not you. The Emperor’s fondness for you is genuine.”

“Sister Mei, you’re teasing me too.”

Zhen Huan looked like a young woman in the throes of love, her face shy and radiant.

During this period, she had been completely dazzled by the Emperor’s favor.

Otherwise, she would not have taken so long to visit Shen Meizhuang.

Even though she had the scar-removing gel in hand, she had not given it to Shen Meizhuang at the first opportunity.

What—

“It isn’t counterfeit, but it isn’t an antique!” Tantai Mingyue smiled. She had never said that the bronze vessel was not actually bronze. It was unquestionably made of bronze; the only difference lay in how long ago it had been made.

Footsteps slowly drew near. The shadow gradually reached Lin Xifan’s bedside, then slowly bent down.

When she saw Li Haonan gazing at her with a smile that was not quite a smile, his expression seeming to darken slightly, she belatedly realized that her reply had sounded far too eager. Her face fell, and she hurriedly picked up a piece of cod and stuffed it into her mouth.

Although Wei Yan had also guessed all this, Qing Lingzi’s sudden attack left him deeply puzzled.

Faced with such a matter, Lin Baizi decisively chose to refuse. There was nothing more to say after that. Since persuasion had failed, they resorted to force, intending to take the children away by compulsion—and a conflict broke out.

“Don’t do anything rash. Let’s talk this over calmly.” Zhang Ziyang was utterly helpless. He knew exactly what kind of person his former middle-school classmate was, and he also knew that the man was bound to run into a brick wall sooner or later.

At the former site of Bachelor Village, at the foot of Tianlong Mountain, an enormous stretch of land had now been leveled. From the look of it, they intended to build a large playground there.

Old Zhuo watched Ma Xingyao and gestured for him to explain. Ma Xingyao gave a detailed account, and only then did Tantai Mingyue understand. It turned out that among certain ancient hereditary families, many had gradually faded into obscurity and then slowly fallen apart. The Ji family, however, was different. They had been passed down from generation to generation without interruption.

“Roar!” Charmander watched Larvitar stride out without hesitation and felt that he could not lose to the fellow.

“Putro—and all of you—we are now enemies to the death.” Lucifer turned his head and cast a cold glance at Putro and the others before speaking in the same icy tone. Never before had the fury in his heart burned so fiercely as it did today.

Within the room, pale smoke curled upward. A faint sandalwood fragrance dispersed through the wisps, filling the chamber with a tranquil sweetness. The four doors of the low couch stood half-open and half-shut. Rainwater left beneath the eaves ran across the window panels and dripped down without pause, producing a crisp sound that echoed around them: drip, drip.

“Come to think of it, shouldn’t I go over and say hello?” the shadowed figure murmured to himself.

Han Ning wandered around Beiming for half a month, roaming everywhere and spending each day eating, drinking, and amusing himself. He had an excellent time.

—At least, in the memories and impressions of many people, Lian Ye was still nothing more than an obscure nobody. And ordinarily, people like that met with miserable deaths. The dog-meat soup made from the creature known as the God-Slaying Demon Wolf wailed pitifully as it all went into Lei-Kesai’s stomach.

“Inferior? That can’t be right. Senior Brother Qin Yi’s aptitude is actually the worst possible—an inferior aptitude!” Ning Jing, Pang Hu, and Liao Sheng could hardly believe it.

Though they were two entirely different organizations locked in opposition, there was no doubt that neither side was absolutely right, nor was either side absolutely wrong. This operation to hunt down humanoid dangerous species and safeguard the southern outskirts of the imperial capital was a perfect illustration of the merits of both organizations.

Suddenly, blinding radiance filled the sky, and the earth trembled! Everyone in Skyfloating City lost their hearing for a moment and stared blankly upward.
