Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Secret He Conceals (Part Two)

Scholar Kang, trembling with fear, continued, “She was once the woman I admired. How could I bear to see her suffer so? So I took the initiative and told her that whatever was troubling her, she could confide in me.”
Only then did Lady Fan, haltingly, begin to tell me a few things. The two of us alone together—I couldn’t help but lose my composure, especially when faced with such a beauty, her lonely tears glistening on her delicate face, as if a pear blossom in spring rain. As she spoke, I… I couldn’t help wanting to draw her into my arms and hold her close.

Unable to bear it, Marina established a sanctuary for those with powerful brainwave activity, to protect such individuals.

“No,” Totoli refused without hesitation, never wanting to deal with those flamboyant men again.

Norton returned to the seat of authority, facing the assembled generals. His expression regained its gravity, and as he spoke, his determination was unmistakably evident.

The guests were a motley crowd. There were people who looked like students’ parents, students currently without a job, clearly flirtatious university students, and junior high students hoping to use this opportunity to decide which high school they would attend.

Approaching the stove, Changning took out five stones. She turned up the fire, raising the room’s temperature. One by one, she placed the stones into the fire to melt and remove their impurities, then fused them in order, shaping a circular collar. Upon it, she engraved formations for both offense and defense from the five elements.

Xiao Ming shrugged, and the two slowly entered the building. After registering, they took the elevator straight to the twelfth floor.

With Inoue Masao’s roar, the surrounding policemen instantly drew their guns, training them on Old Zhong and his companions. The atmosphere grew tense in an instant.

“Lingyin, help me check where and when the Seven Sins first appeared…” Chen Mingtong said directly.

The Lin family drank tea as well, and had done so for years. But they didn’t savor it; they used the cheapest leaves, brewed strong in a large mug, drinking it all day long. The tea was so dark that its original color was lost, and there was no aroma to speak of.

“Uh…” Kotori Itsuka’s eyes widened like chestnuts. “So… so that’s how it is… Onii-chan, I’m sorry. If I’d discussed it with you first, or at least not acted on my own, I could have had Tohka send the invitation the day after tomorrow…” She hung her head like a child who had done something wrong.

He had only one son, and now someone had drugged him—nearly ruined him. Chen Bin was his only descendant. How could he not hate?

Zhou Qing snapped back from the hellish vision. Seeing the demonic hand of the underworld descending, and sensing its terrifying power, he couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Gu Yunzhi frowned, for she happened to know the person. After a brief inner struggle, she still drove over and stopped in front of Xue Dingrui.

Flames and shadows clashed: from the mouth of the sand lion, incarnation of the priest, fire spewed forth, striking the blood-feast scarecrow.

Hearing Tang Zhenting’s subordinate mention that those captured would soon confess, Su Yu grew anxious, the news utterly shattering her last nerve.

At the East Sea Dragon King’s Temple, Xue Ying dismissed the carriage, walked to the temple gate, and activated the dungeon.

A silver-scaled pangolin at the early stage of the Qi Deficiency Realm, beset by two late-stage cultivators of the same realm, not only remained unharmed but even gained the upper hand. Such a strange beast naturally left them astounded.

There were many supreme lords throughout the Eternal Immortal Domain, but spread across its vast provinces, even many seemed few. It was rare to see a supreme lord in person; most were secluded, striving for higher realms.

With tears in his eyes, Qi Mu meekly presented his behind. He knew his mother’s temperament—if he tried to argue at this moment, the punishment would only worsen. It was better to accept it obediently.

She did not know that, ever since these two men had met Xue Ji that morning, their hearts had belonged entirely to her. They only wished to protect her, never to harm her.
