Volume 1, Chapter 31: The Lucky Draw—Golden Talent Card!
Earlier, Ye Kong had already secured one crystal. While they were on their way, other locations were also capturing crystals. By the time Ye Kong claimed his second, the entire Bloody Camp had, in fact, taken their fifth.
Seeing his sister remain silent, Yi Le did not intend to change the subject. He sat down beside Kirino, quietly watching the faint, drifting rain outside the window.
"Hmph, who cares!" Annie spat with disdain, then transformed into a strange black bird and gracefully flew away.
"The reason he is in a deep slumber is that he wants to use my power to accomplish things he could not achieve himself. I suspect it has something to do with Lu Xue'er," Tong Long replied.
It was no fool. At this moment, it finally realized it had encountered a terrifying existence, so it hurriedly changed direction, attempting to flee.
However, after their pirate ship headed back the way they came, they were frustrated to discover that someone had beaten them to it. Not only had others landed there first, but they had even begun mining on their own. Seeing this, Robide was furious.
As the greatest master of magical formations from the ancient era, Li Yuyun could imagine what level her own mastery would eventually reach if she could obtain his legacy.
The effect was immediate. Those higher up on the scaling ladders were the lucky ones; those who fell died instantly. Those lower down were scalded by the molten gold, and once they fell, they could not get back up, only to be trampled to death by their own comrades.
The Great Diviner Du Gu took a lustrous jade disc from his sleeve and handed it to Zhurantuya. The jade was edged in red gold; on the front, a lifelike phoenix with wings spread as if to take flight was engraved, while the back featured water, mountain, wind, and fire patterns, outlining a profound and mysterious design.
Only by staying one in the open and one in the shadows could they guard against the Great Sand Planet’s further schemes and avoid falling into a trap.
At this moment, Liu Huo had already settled the beautiful maiden. He leaped onto a stone pillar and shouted aloud.
With the help of the pilgrims and the imperial army, the Pearl Dragon King managed to secure the Pearl River in one fell swoop. He continued to guard the river, dedicating himself to the welfare of the people on both banks, becoming an outstanding dragon king of water management and leaving behind many beautiful legends.
Of course, Liu Fan knew in his heart that the chance of a successful forced surrender was less than one percent. After all, how could tens of thousands of troops and a fortified city surrender just like that? Yan Xing took the tiger tally and fifty thousand troops, then departed from Bailao Gate.
"Then... what has the content of the trial been changed to?" Upon hearing that such a situation had never occurred before, Lei Yi instantly turned grave.
In the distance, the light and shadow painted by Elder Qian transformed into a faint blue gleam, which shot into Gu Luo's spiritual palace and burst apart, reforming into specks of milky white spiritual energy.
"You don't look well. Are you unhappy?" As he spoke, Zi Xiang approached Zi Yue, gently stroking her face with his right hand, full of concern.
Hearing Liu Fan's bold words, his subordinates below showed no surprise. This was because Liu Fan had long been open and honest with them, laying everything on the table. Moreover, everyone loathed the corrupt and tyrannical Luoyang court, so the subordinates took it in stride.
"Is that your attitude?" Guo Nianfei squatted on the ground, leaned forward, and rested her arms on the edge of the bed, their eyes locking.
Liu Fan knew that Cao Cao had been fond of wandering knights in his youth. After all, the social atmosphere of the Eastern Han Dynasty valued chivalry; even Yuan Shao had once run with Cao Cao.
Yet she still wanted to spread her wings before him, hoping to make him envy her beauty and the ethereal aura about her.
"If they are willing to transfer their shares to your name, I will lend them the money," he interrupted her, stating his decision.
The Third Mistress seemingly did not expect Bing Qing to speak up for her. She looked at Bing Qing with great surprise, and then tears began to flow. She prostrated herself and wept bitterly, her trembling body eliciting sympathy from all who saw it.
During this patrol, they really did see several inspectors questioning pedestrians on the street; they were not slacking off.
Su Mu did not have much time to waste; the exams were only a few days away. If this problem was not resolved, he feared he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
"What I just said was out of anger. Don't ignore me!" A person over forty, yet when she acted spoiled, it was entirely genuine, her voice soft and choked with sobs, making it impossible to remain angry.
She, Jun Qianxi, had never been a saint who would smile and say "it doesn't hurt" after someone stabbed her.
Although Sect Leader Xuan Ji did not object, he could not be said to favor Cen Lu. Seeing that the exotic fire had ultimately fallen into the hands of the Xianyu Sect, he took his leave first.
"We shall discuss matters when we return. It concerns the family; do not worry." If the Jade Buckle Order was issued by Situ Ruixian, then how was he any different from Situ Ruiming? Were they not both just harming their own kin?
Shen Yuecen could not help but glance at Zhu Jintang, only to see him slightly shake his head and sigh. Evidently, there was nothing he could do about the Li clan's actions.
Xia Dongqing laughed. One moment he was howling in pain, and the next, a smile immediately spread across his face.
After a hasty wash, Lin Feng stepped out of the bathroom wearing only a bath towel. The moment he emerged, he was startled once again.
Kisame said insidiously; his first exchange was merely to gauge the true strength of this fellow.
"What... what do you mean it was for... for our happiness..." Chu Yuan said haltingly, though he felt quite comfortable inside, as if the previous annoyance had been resolved. Yet, the next minute, he cried out in surprise.
It was just bad luck; Eric's sperm was more potent than Mo Yexian's, and in the end, the child she gave birth to was Eric's.
"Wait!" Just as the clumsy hunter was about to open the animal trap, a calm voice drifted over.
