Chapter Nineteen: Moving Forward

Li Yi nodded to everyone and then let Wu Wei begin distributing the medicine—ten Golden Wound Pills and ten Spirit Recovery Pills per person. A total of 320 pills were used. The remaining 80 pills were split evenly between Li Yi and Wu Wei, each receiving twenty Golden Wound Pills and twenty Spirit Recovery Pills.

“All right, no need for further discussion. Han Sheng, Zi Yi, how are your injuries?” Wang Tianjie asked with genuine concern.

In this way, the Azure Dragon Society would surely believe he was out seeking the Nine Cauldrons. At this moment, it was the perfect opportunity to confront the Azure Dragon Society and execute his plans in Xinghua Village.

Hearing the conversation between Xiang Weimin and Yin Jianglin, Liang Xin immediately understood the situation. It was all a performance designed to lure him out of the palace to meet them.

However, with Wang Tianjie’s brilliant achievements over the years and his formidable influence, not to mention Wang Tianjie’s personal visit demonstrating great sincerity toward the Lu family, it ultimately secured the allegiance of the entire Lu Jia.

“Annoying~” Wen Yifei pouted unhappily, though she was only teasing.

The reception hall in the back courtyard of the government office had been tidied up a bit by the members of the Righteous Alliance. Since noon, Liang Xin had been waiting for the arrival of representatives from the Four Great Families.

The checkpoint on the valley’s sole passage was tight, yet the “Yin-Yang Gu Flower Mirror” remained undetected. Hong Jian skillfully manipulated the treasure and easily entered the Yin-Yang Sect.

Fang Chen made a preliminary assessment: over a thousand geniuses had registered, all elite talents selected from various regions.

When he saw Mo Jiuli, the child immediately called out “Mother,” startling Mo Jiuli, who was utterly exhausted from childbirth, back to full alertness. Normally, a newborn should cry loudly after birth, yet this child had spoken first.

“Thank you, Madam!” Tang Yuan said, then sat down with Yuan Hui’s support. He glanced provocatively at Rui Da, knowing he was no match in an argument and could only pretend not to see.

Qin An tugged at the corner of his mouth and turned his gaze back to chat with Tom, seemingly intending to treat Liang Jian as invisible. Tom glanced at him but said nothing, not even allowing him to sit, just as he had treated Qin An when Xu Jinghua was present.

She was knocked to the ground, her back scraping harshly against the rough earth, the pain so intense she could scarcely utter a sound.

In the blink of an eye, only the Swordless Divine Emperor remained atop the mountain peak. At that moment, the Death Divine Emperor and the Black Emperor also arrived.

Xi Jinzhi immediately ran toward Yu Youran as Liang Xin failed to restrain her again.

Asked three times, twice he said he was going to Jishan, and once he claimed to be inspecting a wedding venue at a hotel.

A wave of shame washed over her heart, but at least she could take this moment to prepare a sumptuous lunch to send to Gu Lengze.

The distinctive cool voice came from behind, shattering the small hope Shen Qingge had nurtured in her heart.

“Alright, alright, you all teamed up to tease me,” Li Kui suddenly realized and jumped up, shouting loudly.

Screams and wails echoed throughout the mountains. Countless bandits were pierced through by iron-tipped spears wielded by the cavalry guards, their cries echoing pitifully; many strong men were hurled by the cavalry’s force, ribs broken, coughing up blood, writhing in agony.

Looking at the Silver Moon Fairy whose expression remained icy and cold, a faint smile flickered in her eyes.

“That’s natural.” Luo Shuihan leaned lazily by the shore, squinting at the many people in the water.

In the following days, whenever Taozi saw Shen Muchen, she panicked like a mouse spotting a cat, breathless and trembling. Often, before Shen Muchen could even speak, she had already slipped away.

To let the man rest longer, she even suggested that the children’s nanny come in to help, for caring for children was truly exhausting.

“There are accomplices!” a guard said coldly, raising his hand and flicking out a white mark with his finger.

Ye Qingcheng was stunned, blinking before finally coming to his senses. What was he asking? Looking down, he found his entire body covered in blue and purple hickeys.

“Why didn’t you wear more clothes when you came out?” Xuanyuan Tianyue smiled faintly and stepped forward, draping his cloak over Rong Qian’s shoulders.

Nan Wuyou had also told him that four years ago, after returning from the Dongliang Kingdom, she slept nearly a year. In the second year, her sleep lessened only because she had forcibly kept herself awake with acupuncture. It was only by the third year that she somewhat recovered, but on the night of the full moon in the tenth month, she would become bloodthirsty and wild.

What should I do? Now that Yao Lifeng has met Zhao Fei, how can I protect my sister? Yao Lifeng’s background is too formidable. If he harbors ill intentions, can I protect Zhao Fei on my own?

Cottonwood fluff drifted thickly like mist on the street. At that moment, a tall figure cloaked in black appeared across from Zongyang, casting a sinister aura over the surroundings.

“No, I cannot help you,” Princess Luo Qi shook her head, stepping back as Feng Yin approached.

Nan Wuyou saw this but did not intervene. They had been careless—knowing she might be in danger yet relaxing at such a critical moment. Mu Jingyan must have a hidden trick to deal with her, though what it was remained unknown. Still, Nan Wuyou had a feeling it was deadly.

“Come, celebrate! We’ve matched another successful couple,” Xu Ling said happily, holding champagne and a glass. Chen Xia thought this was the moment she looked most beautiful.

“Can you first tell me why I’m here, where my companions are, and how the competition ended?” Susan responded with questions of her own.

He was not much of a drinker; previous occasions had been occasional at best. Since Sheng’er came to the Dark Netherworld, he hadI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
