Volume One, Chapter 101: I Don’t Know You Well Enough for That

No, there is no need to trouble him.

Seeing Chu Ming say that, a grave look rose on Little Dragon's face.

Xu Xuanzan was by nature honest and simple, and now, after being thrown even further into confusion by the whole scene, he only looked blankly at a loss. Without thinking, he reached out and handed over the folding fan.

Do not misunderstand, everyone. That last sentence was not spoken by her. She had not even had time to begin persuading Kang Le when a deep, powerful voice cut in first, and all the words she had just gathered were forced back down her throat.

By then, Hua Rou's stomach had already eased somewhat, but she still did not step into the room. That feeling of wanting to vomit but not being able to was too dreadful, and she did not wish to endure it any longer.

"It is enough that you understand. I think the reason your father asked you to come to Dongyang with me was, first, to keep you away from danger, and second, to help you understand certain truths about life. You asked me out today, so what is it you want to say?"

Xiao Chen spoke softly, his eyes resting on Emma.

When the burly man heard Ye Bingyin speak like that, he was immediately delighted. Who did not like flattery?

The second palace.

Just as Qingyun, Old Kun, and Xiao Hongchen drew near, they heard earthshaking sounds of battle coming from within.

"Tomorrow we set out, of course I'm packing," Xiao Moyu said, never pausing in his movements.

According to Jing Shi, this Heavenly Demon emerged from its chrysalis nine thousand years ago. Its original name was Demon Face Language, and it loved devouring human brains, which made its power grow ever stronger. Yet its strength was simply too overwhelming, and no one had the ability to subdue it.

"Big Brother Pig, is the exit from the ancient battlefield about to open?" Qingyun asked at once as soon as he came out.

Then she smiled and said, "Why would Your Highness think that?"

After dealing with clever and slippery people for so long, she would naturally no longer be so easily led into revealing her thoughts.

"Hey, don't worry. Dazhuang is so simple and honest; he won't go bad!"

Ye Long grinned as he said it.

The Old Longevity Star of the South Pole wore a smile all over his face, yet his gaze was cold as ice. As he spoke, the Dragon Coiled Staff's might only grew stronger, showing not the slightest intention of stopping.

With his nerves finally settling, he pouted aggrievedly and raised his fist in a feeble gesture toward Yin Xiukong, but in the end he still did not dare to act further. Restless by nature, he could only pace silently around the cramped little storeroom.

"Brother, you..."

Ma Yunlu opened her mouth, her delicate brows knitting in a very pretty frown, as though she still did not fully understand.

Xia Ruoyan issued the order to leave. The Lord of Guangmu knew the power standing behind the Jade Palace and did not dare overstep, so he departed with Mu Xingran, whose eyes burned with hatred.

At that time, dark smoke billowed outside Sky Sea City. The black astral body in the heavens had not yet fully covered the sun, yet it had already stirred the malice buried deep within the earth.

He was still the same as ever: the greater the matter, the calmer and more composed he became, proceeding in an orderly and methodical fashion.

In his youth, he studied for the prosperity of his family; when he grew older, for the Sui Dynasty; afterward, for the struggle to seize the world; and now, even more, for all the common people beneath heaven. Looking back carefully, it seemed he still had many dreams he had not yet fulfilled.

The young man lifted his head, his brows tightly furrowed, bearing an authority far beyond his years.

Ye Long certainly could not let Bella leave; otherwise, where would he find out the things he wanted to know?

Whether in appearance or in bearing, she was so captivating that he nearly lost himself in her. She stared at the beauty in a daze, but this displeased Lord Ding greatly. He did not believe what he had just heard. "What do you mean by what you just said?" But Zhu Xuan's thoughts had already flown from him to the lovely woman, so naturally she did not hear him at all.
