Volume 1, Chapter 141: Ultimate Humiliation

At this thought, a soft smile touched her lips, bringing a sudden warmth to her heart. Slinging her bundle over her shoulder, she pushed open the door and stepped directly outside.

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded behind Ah Sen. Ye Chengxuan walked straight toward him with an anxious expression on his face, which took Ah Sen completely by surprise.

Outside the window, the rain grew heavier and heavier. Lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and a fierce gale raged. Tree leaves drifted unsteadily in the air, and many branches were snapped by the violent wind.

Things had developed to this point beyond everyone's expectations. No one could have foreseen that Guo Lin could so easily defeat Wei Shaotian, cripple his Dragon Guards, and simultaneously draw out two elders, standing unflinchingly against them in a face-off.

"Father General, you're still awake this late? Is something the matter?" Situ Xiao took off his outer coat, and Ruan Jingyuan stepped forward to take it, hanging it on the golden coat rack. Situ Kun gave a subtle glance, and Zhou Zhou nodded, stepping outside, while Ruan Jingyuan quietly closed the door behind him and retreated as well.

"Tell me, why can't this child ever give me some peace of mind?" Mother Zhao said, wiping away her tears with one hand. "She's already so grown up, yet after being away for so long, she doesn't even know to call home! No matter how important things are, surely she wouldn't be unreachable for seven consecutive days?"

Even at the edge of the cliff, believing that his Ying'er was already gone, Prince Xin had fallen into a despairing, unbroken sleep, refusing to wake. Yet the moment Lord Yuan brought the news that she had been abducted by bandits, his eyes snapped open instantly.

"You read my mind. However, it seems we cannot provide her with any of those things," Zhao Gan said with a faint smile.

Arrogant Red-Eyedbrows approached with an enchanting laugh, the very air turning magical in his wake. He was carrying Chu Tao on his back, emerging from the dense fog. Petals of Manjushagarwa fluttered down behind him, forming a path of blood-red.

Among these matters, the method to unravel the Nine Palaces Spirit Gu Array in Xizhou was already known; it required the Central Plains' Nine Cauldrons Array to break it. Therefore, Xiao Yao had to travel all across the Central Plains to visit the Seven Sages of Confucianism.

Now seeing that Zhou Yunhu was not angered by this incident, Zhou Yunfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Blizzard Bear King gritted his teeth and glared viciously at the Messenger of Frigid Ice, saying, "Since it has come to this, we have no choice but to fight you to the death! Even if you possess millions of years of cultivation, we will protect the generations of our ancestors in this land of extreme cold." With that, he opened his gaping maw wide toward the Messenger of Frigid Ice.

In truth, this place could be considered a part of the entire mountain range, though it lay at the foot of the mountains, backed by hills and facing water—a truly exquisite location.

Originally, when he first encountered Cao Cao, he felt extremely awkward and remained silent, deep in contemplation, pondering everything about Cao Cao. It wasn't until he heard Li Yi's words that he was instantly jolted back to reality.

Entering the Myriadfold Mountains, Zhou Yunfeng's primary goal was to find the treasure of the Ice and Fire Sword King, with cultivation and trials serving as his secondary purpose. Hunting down Sima Qingyun and the others who pursued him also fell within the scope of these trials.

Xu Huaijin nodded. The instructor's analysis was quite accurate; the world-class superpowers were indeed limited to these six nations now, though Japan did not seem all that formidable at present—it was merely exhausting its resources in reckless militarism, struggling to sustain a facade of strength.

"That goes without saying! Whichever of our left, central, or right armies were missing, conquering the Congyun Empire would remain an exceptionally difficult task!" Qin Qiong laughed.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yunfeng had been inside the Six Gods Space for three months. Though he had not encountered any major fortuitous opportunities, his strength had undeniably increased quite a bit.

The blood centipede possessed by Tongtong bit a person, immediately coiled itself on the ground, and crawled back into the bottle only after the large beggar died. I placed the bottle in the front basket of my bicycle.

Wang Jinping grew anxious upon hearing this, but I was already mentally prepared. Lao Ding had run back on his own accord this trip; something was bound to go happen, it was only a matter of time.

As for the pleasure house that had beaten Young Master Xiao, it was sealed up immediately. The madam and the thugs within were all arrested, and once their crimes were verified by the Ministry of Rites, they would be dealt with according to the penal code.

Yuzi had also followed her for several years and had accompanied her on the trip to Dunhuang. She had personally participated in the events of the winter solstice, so Xie Shuning had no intention of keeping this matter from her, laying out all her plans and intentions in complete detail.

"This is truly bizarre. I was kindly helping you all, yet you turn around and curse me?" Xiyue's expression shifted as well.

"Yes, Grandfather Emperor. Once your grandson hands over his duties at the Ministry of Rites, I shall rest for two days to specifically attend to the moving. After the move, I will report for duty at the Ministry of War!" Shui Qingqian said with a gentle smile, bowing respectfully in agreement.

He could curse to his heart's content and then walk away scot-free. If that eunuch wanted to exact revenge in the future, the blame would only fall upon his own head.

Cradling against Mousa, she slept through the night. When she woke up, dawn had already broken. Yet the cockpit remained dim; four-fifths of the windows were blocked by piled-up sand and dust, with only a shallow gap left at the very top, letting in a meager sliver of light.

How, then, had he come to know her? And why did he gaze at her with such a gentle expression, remaining entirely silent?

Withdrawing from his inner vision, Shen Chong waved his hand, shattering the immortal-grade array that Elder Tian had set up around him.

A white python pattern referred to white markings on jadeite, commonly known as a white python. The python pattern on Shuze's piece of rough stone was precisely a white python, and it even had a grayish-white hue. White pythons of this color carried an exceptionally high probability of turning a profit when gambling on jade.

Li Que's modest remark only made him seem all the more unfathomable. After all, if he could produce this level of work by writing haphazardly, what would happen if he applied himself formally?

Onyxia, snapping back to her senses, hurriedly reined in her aura. This was Cairn Lake Keep, not Blackrock Mountain, let alone her own lair.

The strengths of the contestants in the first round were distinctly divided, and virtually all the matches concluded within a single round. The longest bout belonged to Tchetkov, who required a full two and a half rounds to knock out his opponent.

Wang Lei's baseline purse for this match remained twenty-five million dollars, while Abraham Ali received only fifteen million.

The ashtray he had been using earlier was now piled high with cigarette butts. Once again, he stubbed out a burning red cigarette stub fiercely into the ashtray, sending a puff of blue smoke curling into the air.

Naturally, supposing the clarity in comprehending the laws of wood, water, or fire was 100, the clarity in sensing the law of gold was roughly 10,000! The gap created by innate talent was something that could never be bridged.

At a time like this, Li Que remained quite calm. After posting an initial promotional message on his Weibo, he let the matter quiet down for a bit.

I will be transferring to work in Beijing soon, and there will likely be quite a few preparations to attend to, so my update schedule might be a bit unstable. I hope everyone can understand. However, I can still guarantee that daily updates will be maintained. The forum's reputation should still be reasonably trustworthy, right?
