Chapter 35: Complete Domination

“Hurry up and tell me, what exactly is your relationship with Chu Qingcheng now?”
“From the look of you, you don’t seem like someone who’s in love with Chu Qingcheng at all!”
“…”
The convoy sped down the highway, and inside the central vehicle…
…
Ye Anqi wrapped her arms around Lu Zhetian’s neck from behind the sofa and planted a gentle kiss on his cheek.
Xia Mingxiu glanced up at the old lady, then raised his hand, gesturing backward toward the helicopter.
“I told you to stop following me.” Moonshadow was drenched in sweat, barely able to run any further, yet that grotesque lump relentlessly chased after her.
Protect her? Not a chance. At most, it would brawl with the old man, but this task—it would rather die than accept.
At first, Yuan Yao could barely fend him off, but as time passed, Xia Mingxiu’s kisses grew more passionate, leaving her dizzy and weak. Eventually, she was pressed into the haystack, his kisses growing heavier and more urgent.
“Damn it.” To think this would make things easier for Pei Yibai and his group. The people behind, their vision disrupted, lashed out at the car ahead in a fit of rage.
In Jinlin City, aside from the palace guards and those maintaining order in the capital, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers. In peacetime, they could tend to farmland; in war, they could don armor and march into battle at a moment’s notice.
Shao Jiansheng was delighted to hear the Liu family was coming. He hung up and hurriedly notified Shao Mingzhe and Liu Yueru, telling them to go straight to Shengyuan after work; after all, in-laws visiting was an occasion to welcome them into the Shao family’s home.
One end of the two ropes was tied to a large tree, the other ends fastened around the waists of Lu Mingxuan and Jin Huaxin.
Wen Jiaren was worried; after all, both presidents of the Metaphysics Guild hailed from the two largest sects in the field, and the guild itself contained many disciples from the Grand Void Sect and the Sect of Fading Sky.
Ye Shanshan’s cheering filled me with courage. Zuo Chao was like a sandbag as I swung my stick at him. At that moment, Haozi lunged at Du Junkai; the two swung their sticks simultaneously, their blows crossing, but Haozi’s strength was clearly superior, and he managed to push Du Junkai down.
The Song family arrived as well. As soon as Song Li saw Lu Yanshan, she rushed forward, wanting to speak, but was stopped by the bailiffs.
Why couldn’t you say anything? That one, being carried out like a pig, is your partner, your compatriot.
“Demon Emperor, I know you’re awake—come out quickly!” I called out inwardly. The last time, in the great tomb, the Demon Emperor had already awakened but had remained silent.
After much consideration, Mrs. Yuan decided that when Xia Zihan was giving birth, with Chu Jingqi anxious and unsettled, she would have Yuan Liqin draw near to comfort and support him. Perhaps, in his vulnerable state, he would notice Yuan Liqin’s gentle charm and grow fond of her.
Elder Wei waited and waited; each time he thought Mu Qian was cornered, the boy escaped by a hair’s breadth. Growing ever more impatient, Elder Wei finally saw his chance, narrowed his eyes, and hurled the dagger in his hand mercilessly at Mu Qian.
He pouted and frowned, scrutinizing Damian’s face, wondering why it didn’t look like he was spoiling for a fight.
“Working to earn money—what’s the problem with that?” Fang Yuan was worldly and experienced, thoroughly understanding such matters.
“It’s the Magic Emperor!” Kacha Qi and Kacha Qu were gravely wounded, supporting each other as they looked up at Ronald high above the void, their voices trembling with excitement as they called out.
Qi Hao finally let out a long breath after recalling Nightshade. That shadow had at last vanished—any longer, and he would have lost his nerve and exposed himself.
The Xingluo Empire was in a similar situation. Though the two great empires appeared strong, in truth, both were in decline. No one could say when the fate of the entire continent would suddenly change.
