Volume 1, Chapter 63: Role Reversal

In fact, Gu Qingqing was deliberately putting on an act. She wanted her brother to discover that she had fallen for He Zhe and wished to marry him.

When she heard that someone did not mind her being a Mystic Apprentice and was even willing to pay for her mystic stones, she could hardly believe it. However, when she saw the young man help her retrieve the mystic stone and witnessed his gentle smile from beginning to end, she finally believed it was real.

After Bai Yuling left, the League President and other high-ranking officials all looked toward Randy, and the pinnacle powerhouses outside the League Center also gathered around.

Fueled by the power of Senior Minggui, the strength of the heroic spirit aggregate recovered somewhat. They dispersed to every corner of the Netherfall Royal City, and sharing a single will, simultaneously teleported the entire city.

As Mu Yixue observed closely, he noticed a few characters carved beneath the tree, which read: Immortal Demon Fruit.

Liang Shicheng boasted of never losing a hundred battles, often using his own name as the butt of his own jokes. This only added to his boundless self-confidence, earning him another moniker in the army: Liang is the City, meaning that as long as he stood guard, no city could ever be conquered.

Bai Yuhong suddenly hugged Bai Yuling tightly, her voice trembling and concealing an immense terror.

Bizarrely, centered around the stone, the blood-red mist retreated a great distance as if encountering its natural nemesis.

At that moment, five elders stood up, each holding a golden piece of parchment, and began chanting incantations incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Many professionals, upon dying in battle, were sent to Lawson Church for burial. It was said that they consumed the soul crystals left behind by the bishops to prevent the warriors' souls from being tainted by evil and to grant them eternal rest.

After resting for a few days in Pingyang to recover from their injuries, the group finally set off for home once Su Lingxiao was able to move. Su Lingxiao could not show her face, and Yang Xu feared being targeted by He Chonghuan, so they purchased a few carriages and quietly returned to Xiangning.

Following a heaven-shaking explosion, the entire world was shrouded in thick dust. The residents of Tanchu Town witnessed the scene and thought the end of the world had arrived.

Shen Yunchao originally did not want to invite his seventh younger brother, but upon second thought, the fellow was still his brother after all, and the superficial pleasantries had to be observed. Thus, he extended the invitation nonetheless.

In the opening battle, Shen Yunchao led ten thousand troops in a feint to the east while attacking the west. Using this strategy of diversion, he sent men to raid the enemy's grain supply camp while launching a sham assault on the western corner. Xidi fell for the ruse, and overnight, the Xiyu Pass occupied by Xidi was recaptured.

Consort Qing was an object of envy simply because she had borne the emperor's only imperial son. Yet Consort Chu had envied Yao Chuxi even before the birth of the imperial scion; the jealousy in her heart had been instantly ignited upon their very first meeting.

Hearing Fei Junshuai's words, Ivan immediately activated his source power, only to discover that no laser shot forth from his palm.

The Eastern Palace and the rear gardens were truly different. The red-lacquered palace walls lining the pathways seemed to cage in the sky itself. Upon closer inspection, the paint showed not the slightest trace of touch-ups or repairs; if not for exceptionally fine lacquer, such a seamless finish would surely have been impossible.

Just awakened, Taeyeon looked a bit dazed, squinting at Ning Yi for a long time before she finally processed what he had said. Looking past Ning Yi, she caught sight of the snow-capped mountain ranges and Lake Tekapo encircled by the pristine white peaks. Taeyeon's spirits instantly surged with excitement.

Wang Jintong clamped his hands tightly around Huo Jun's neck, convinced that a hidden weapon had pierced it, and therefore certain that Huo Jun's life was hanging by a thread.

Yet one thing was certain: since the Emperor had intervened in this matter, Princess Yunying would undoubtedly begin to get better.

"That's what Yu'er said when she came back. Besides, all the meridians in your body are blocked; there's no way you could beat Yu'er! His current cultivation is already at the early stage of Source Master, whereas you remain stubbornly stuck at innate source energy level five!" Dongfang Ying said with disdain.

The Seventh Imperial Prince's mansion was left as a hollow shell. Everyone who needed to be sent away had quietly slipped through another side gate after she left the city. Whether she returned depended entirely on herself; even if she came back to live and die with him, he would not refuse.

Mei'er looked at everything unfolding before her and could not help exclaiming, "I never expected you to be so powerful!" Dongfang Xin smiled faintly and once again led Mei'er deeper into the cave.

Watching the five-meter-long giant serpent open its bucket-like maw to lunge and bite, the red snake knew that once caught, it would undoubtedly perish.

"Doesn't this look a lot like the scene in the living room earlier, right after we came out of the room? The arrangement of the badges on the coffee table must be the sequence we need." Zhang Tiannian stared fixedly at the circular platform for a long time, firmly grasping the flash of insight that had crossed her mind.

"Just like this thing on my hand." Helpless, Liyang could only display the smart bracelet he had worn continuously on his wrist.

Hearing the young man's words, Ye Xuan and the others were all startled. The place where a Martial God fell? A mighty Martial God had perished?

At this moment, Tong Qiufeng appeared in Sky Eagle City, and anyone with half a brain could deduce that he was inevitably one of An Ran's financial backers.

Right now, the only person still standing beside Yu Nuannian was Mu Nanrui, while Matthew had been forcibly dragged away by Bertie.

Previously, since the rightful person was absent and Lin Manyun could not bear to watch, she had stepped forward to intervene. But now that the principal parties had arrived, the two of them no longer needed to meddle casually.
