Volume One, Chapter Eighty-Two: Third Brother

His presence was formidable; just sitting there, he exuded a sense of oppression. Although his deep eyes were not the same violet as Nangong Yan’s, their gaze was equally profound.

Harley changed his mind and traded all the legendary soul crystals in Osla’s hands for legendary remains.

Beneath the makeshift podium, the resounding cheers of the allied soldiers loudly conveyed their answer to Zhang Wei.

Seeing a familiar face, Wang Lan lowered her guard. Having taught herself the magic barrier, she now dispelled it and spoke to Yuan.

If she had originally only felt a moderate fondness for the hairpin, now, after seeing Lady An give it to An Ran, it seemed to her that the hairpin had become her heart’s dearest treasure, perfect in every way.

Xue’er, never having witnessed such a phenomenon, frowned deeply, completely at a loss as to what to do.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but close his eyes, choosing not to look at her anymore, but to listen and sense with his heart instead. After a while, he opened his eyes, a glimmer of light flashing within them, and then he began to smile—a truly happy smile.

Yan’er stepped out the door into a world of dazzling white; the heavy snowfall from the previous night was evident everywhere. All was shrouded in misty whiteness, as if nothing had happened at all. Yet Yan’er faintly heard the sound of voices, as if they were coming from the direction of the woods.

Only now did Father Xiao and Mother Xiao’s tense expressions relax somewhat. Supporting Xiao Mingsheng, they walked over; he had been given a heavy dose of sleeping pills and was still unconscious.

After some thought, he decided to find a shaded corner behind a rocky outcrop, put on his gaming helmet, and log into Demon Path.

Lei Fang said she would come to have dinner with me, but never arrived. Her maid, Zaozi, came to tell me she had suffered from heatstroke and couldn’t get out of bed.

Together, everyone lifted Mo Shijie onto a gurney and hurried toward the operating room.

The man howled in agony. The bystanders, who had been on the verge of gathering to watch, were terrified and fled in all directions, their screams turning the once peaceful street into a scene of hellish chaos.

Because she had prior experience, Wuyue closed her eyes in time. The third generation, warned by Wuyue, managed to do the same. Those who were not so quick were as if suddenly blinded by a flashbang—after a moment of blinding light came endless darkness.

Hua Shang couldn’t describe what she was feeling. She watched helplessly as Lord You disappeared into the distance. Only then did she come to her senses, took a bottle of red potion from her pouch, and drank it to restore some health.

It truly was inconvenient without a chair. Song Qing silently cursed the wicked and backward years before the common era. When the opportunity arose, he swore he’d improve his life; kneeling every day would surely ruin his legs in time.

Since she had greeted us so politely, we could not simply turn and leave; we returned the courtesy and introduced ourselves.

As he spoke, he turned his head, reached out, gently lifted Chen Jinghao’s chin, and kissed her softly on the lips.

There were some who, under the banner of Taoism, promoted all manner of dubious practices, but such cults or swindlers were quickly found by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and disappeared without a trace.

“Your subordinate Qian Mi pays respects to my lord!” Once inside, there was no need to hide anything. He knelt respectfully before Gu Yi.

“Dad, don’t speak of second uncle like that. Who would willingly fall off a cliff? Accidents happen all the time,” Tian Feng replied in defense of his uncle.

“You’re here!” Lin Chaoying smiled at Lian Nishang. Her identity and status meant she didn’t need to show the same deference as Wuhua and He Zudao.

Outside, according to the principal’s previous arrangement, a week had passed, and tonight would be the final match against the Fire Wolf Team.

“What’s wrong? Weren’t you always angry with me for being obsessed with Yang Guo and for being too timid?” Guo Fu looked calmly at her younger sister Guo Xiang.

Yet, try as she might, she simply couldn’t imagine what “a lump” could possibly look like.

Having finished their tea, regardless of what each was thinking, both signaled that the matter on the main street was settled. No one pressed the issue further, and He Yingtang no longer retaliated with sarcasm. The atmosphere was so calm it was as if nothing had happened at all.

No matter what the Ye family had done, Ye Yong was still the Deputy Commander of the Campaign Office, and even if the emperor wished to punish him, it would not be at this time.

Anna shot Ke’er a look and couldn’t help but glance at Ling Feng again. This man was just too strange.

Seeing Yang Que utterly ignore their ridicule, the two men assumed he was simply weak and cowardly, only growing more contemptuous and unrestrained in their mockery.

The hostile stares of the three old men seemed about to ignite the entire room. Seated on the sofa, Richard was facing the most perilous moment of his life.

With this blow, Cao Zinuo had unleashed his strongest power—spatial force. Though just a sliver, it was more than enough to break the priest’s formation with ease.

Trains from all directions converged, entering the beehive-like hollows outside the exchange venue. As they slowly came to a stop, large numbers of students poured out, quickly filling the once-empty corridors.

Having rested a little in Sulphur Valley, Lance found that with the addition of the “cave” dwarves and woodland fae, their efficiency had sharply increased.

If Wang Bai found out his chips had decreased, he would be at a disadvantage. As a businessman, he needed to stay vigilant and couldn’t pin his hopes on Wang Bai’s fondness for Huang Wen.

“Trying to test me?” Stark reacted quickly as well. Katerina released her control over White. If White escaped in front of everyone, his reputation would be ruined, and the entire nation of Thousand Sails’ wizards would lose trust in him.
