Chapter 41: A Young Girl's Thoughts

Tang Yi did not forget Lin Shaocong; he dragged the fat man, who was still deep in a dream battling a voluptuous woman, straight out of bed.

"If I wanted to write it, I wrote it. Am I not allowed to tell the truth?" Nan Xun wanted to bite off his own tongue the moment he finished speaking. How could he have said such a thing? It was practically a provocation.

The sky was too dark. The Tang army failed to notice two hundred Yanzhou soldiers quietly leaving their formation to flank them, assuming that the force suddenly appearing to assault the mountain was merely reinforcements that had just arrived.

The Kaiyang Secret Realm was far larger than he had imagined and filled with many unknowns. If not for the constraint of time, Lu Tianming would have certainly liked to explore it thoroughly.

Some even suggested that the Changsha army's forced occupation of Jingzhou was an unrighteous act, and that the Shu army could launch an offensive to seize Jingzhou in the name of upholding justice.

The value of the spirit veins went without saying. With these veins, the existing pet beast space completely regained its vitality; the various spirit herbs within flourished, and the space continued to expand daily, even without any pet beasts advancing in rank.

What satisfied Lu Tianming immensely was that although he was still at the late stage of the acquired realm, he could exert the power of an acquired perfection every time he used the Black Iron Bow. That level of power, even if not quite on par with the second form of the Four Symbols Collapse, was not far behind.

Watching two rows of soldiers suddenly swarm into the main hall, the subordinate officials felt an inexplicable sense of unease rise in their hearts.

Wang Zijun placed the newspaper on the conference table and gave Zhang Shengli a meaningful look. Zhang Shengli felt that gaze to be as sharp as a blade—hot and stinging, yet chillingly cold. He could only nod awkwardly, his throat tightening; he wanted to say something, but felt that any words would only reveal his own inadequacy.

At this moment, Duan Yu, not far away, looked at Ye Lang with envy. He, too, wanted to become a supreme master just like Ye Lang! If he did, wouldn't he be able to show off as well?

"What is the topic for discussion today? Chief Chen went there in person!" Officer Xu asked curiously.

Yi Feng watched Wang Zijun eating in such a free and easy manner, and a warmth filled her heart. Yet, within that warmth was a faint hint of bitterness. This big bad guy—is he really oblivious, or just pretending to be dense? Can he not guess what is on my mind?

The difference between himself and others was simply too vast. Why was it that others could improve just by swallowing demon pills?

Just then, he suddenly saw a burly man with a thick beard walking on foot through the desert in the distance.

"None!" The various emperors, including the First Emperor of Qin, Li Shimin of the Immortal Tang, Liu Bang of the Celestial Han, Zhao Kuangyin of the Great Song, Zhu Yuanzhang of the Great Ming, and Zhao Jiuyang of the Nine Suns, all nodded in acknowledgment.

"Forget it!" After a moment of thought, Liu Hai shook his head and turned to Zhang Tian, saying cruelly, "I will carve your flesh off piece by piece, and then feed it to you." As he spoke, he channeled his spiritual energy and thrust a dagger toward Zhang Tian.

This was equivalent to gathering thousands of poisonous creatures together, letting them slaughter and devour one another; the one left at the end would be the King of Poisons.

The mermaid's love song continued. Many young elves, caught under the influence of both songs simultaneously, actually began to roll on the ground in each other's arms, creating a scene too unsightly to behold.

With such a massive landmass, if it were to crash into the ground, no one would be spared, and the Dwarf Kingdom would be left unrecognizable.

Beyond this gaping wound, there were many other bloodstains on the deceased; judging by the marks, they looked somewhat like claw marks left by some kind of wild beast.

Shan Yandu suddenly burst into laughter. He had been tied to the reputation of a "refined scholar" his entire life, always priding himself on being magnanimous and dashing, thinking that he could stand proudly in the world by living unrestrained. In the end, he had failed to guard his own inner peace, still defeated by worldly possessions.

However, the opponent did not charge to the highest point in the sky; instead, upon reaching the upper heights, it spat out a crystal-clear dragon pearl downward.

"Hmm..." The Archdruid pondered for a moment. This was not something that should be spoken of lightly, but it was better to let his disciple prepare himself mentally.

"But this nightmare is very strange," Shentu Yue persisted, unable to help but grip his hand tighter.

It was rare for a beggar to be moved by past experiences. One wondered what kind of sacred being it was who, without notice, had saved so many people. Such a fine man had to be seen with one's own eyes.

Once bitten, twice shy. Tang Fei had learned his lesson this time; he informed Mu Rongwan'er in advance before going to see her, so that even if Su Wanqing felt uncomfortable, she wouldn't cause a scene.

"I understand, I just couldn't wrap my head around it for a moment." Li Si nodded, then took a deep breath and suddenly shouted toward the sky.

"Are you talking about Sister Yanran who answered my phone today?" Chen Xu did not know why Zhang Na would ask such a question, nor did he feel there was anything improper about not mentioning Li Yanran to Zhang Na earlier.

"With you here, the tokens in the Deer-Hunting Valley are all accounted for, aren't they?" Zhou Zheng said arrogantly, watching Zong Changsheng and the others arrive.

"Even if Emperor Yao had the intention of casting the tripod back then, the fact that he failed doesn't mean that someone like you can succeed, does it?" Lu Qingxuan said dismissively.

With a pair of bright eyes clearer than the sun and moon, she gently reached out, and as the precious bamboo in her hand rose, two fish were pulled from the water.

Just as Dongzi had expected, those who had reached the level of Wang Dana no longer cared about the amount of money. For them, living was nothing more than seeking comfort and ease.
