Chapter 59: Overjoyed to Win a Fair Lady

Hearing the emperor defend her, Lady Cai gratefully glanced at Tang Yu and lowered her head.

Luo Lie thought it made sense; no matter what, Su Li wouldn’t send a daughter-in-law who couldn’t fight to eavesdrop. Moreover, from Tang Yu’s few words, Luo Lie sensed something unusual. He stole a glance at Ye Yue, standing beside the emperor—a beauty of unrivaled grace. It seemed that, despite possessing the majesty of a sovereign...

With Hong Kui’s help, the two returned to the cave where the source of the companion amethyst crystal lay. Without further hesitation, Xiao Se gripped the Violet Spirit Crystal, its sharp end pointing downward, and stabbed it straight into the violet orb atop the crystal pedestal.

From only a handful of companions in the first month, within a single year, a gathering would see thousands mobilized at once, leaving chaos wherever they went.

The retired bishop gazed at the scene before him with complex emotions, sighed, and then walked out of the orphanage.

Qin Lin laughed, saying that it was simply a matter of perspective; once understood, such actions amounted to an insult to one’s intelligence.

Truth be told, if he hadn’t learned many secrets of the primordial era in advance—knowing some of the filth hidden within the Western Buddhist sect—he might have been tempted already.

He knew his men had saved her, but after so long, he still hadn’t seen Ying Yinman.

Now, relying on others, they dared not speak or move rashly, quietly awaiting Chen You’s instructions and words.

As a regular on the Hidden Dragon Rankings, Xie Yingying naturally knew Lü Tianxin’s strength. To defeat Lü Tianxin was not something that could be brushed off as mere coincidence.

Knowing that above the mundane world lay the martial realm, and that their men were among the elite of martial artists, it was only natural to align with them.

At the end of the road was a massive sinkhole, filled with Chuanxin mushrooms glowing fiery red and deep blue.

Yan Qingqing, though gifted and promising as a medic, was after all just a student at the Blue Spirit Star’s First Military Academy, her military discipline nearly nonexistent.

At this moment, Tian Hu had not yet openly declared himself King of Jin or defied the court, but the envoys he sent already acted as imperial emissaries, causing Song Jiang, Chen Xizhen, and others to rejoice in vain—expecting a true imperial envoy, only to find a counterfeit had arrived.

When someone is overly focused on a particular individual, the defensive line often becomes riddled with gaps; at such times, a dark horse can easily break through and shatter the defenses in moments.

After the sequence of actions, they arrived at the most traditional activity in China: “cupping therapy.”

There was nothing special about the seating in the teahouse; they simply found an ordinary spot on the third floor, while the guards scattered themselves in positions where they could see their masters.

Anyone whom Master Mo would greet personally was surely remarkable; Rong Qian didn’t join the commotion.

Precisely because of this understanding, when Luan Fei interrogated them, Song Ying, Lei Heng, and others instinctively kept their distance.

Meanwhile, through this incident, Tong Guan grasped the importance of firearms, silently resolving to equip his personal troops with such advanced weaponry, so that he could shine even brighter.

He stared at the city walls within arm’s reach, emitting a terrifying roar, raising both hands to hurl the massive siege engine toward the ramparts.

Clearly, after enduring the fierce backlash of “Nine Abyss Netherfire” and “Heaven-Slaying,” then suffering continuous blows from perfected immortal-level masters, Zhou Jiuhui’s meridians were now ruptured. Yet compared to his dantian and soul teetering on the brink of destruction, this was almost insignificant.

First he ventured into the mountains to gather herbs, entered a wild beast’s den, collected nine Heavenly Fragrant Leaves, then encountered a giant black bear. He thought he was doomed, but inexplicably, the bear died.
