Volume One, Chapter 29: A Love That Ends in Tragedy

Song Nanyi turned and bolted, running for her life. The man pursued her, his mouth filled with vile obscenities.

"Don't run! If you tire your brother out, I won't have the strength to satisfy you tonight."

"Let me tell you, no matter how far you run, you won't escape my territory. All these men are my brothers; let's see where you think you can hide."

The early winter wind whistled past her ears. Song Nanyi was paralyzed with fear. She ran with every ounce of strength she possessed. After all, given Prince Yi’s capabilities, he would never resort to such base tactics to show off before her. When he had first encountered the old man five days ago, he had willingly kept him company for those five days. Viewed in that light, he seemed much like the "fish" that had taken the bait the old man spoke of.

After a moment of silence, a black helmet appeared in Solo’s hand; it looked quite remarkable. He had deliberated for a long time before deciding to present this particular item, knowing that Arthas urgently needed to enhance his own strength.

Ning Jian and the others were indeed wary. Regardless of whether Chen Qingdi could truly subdue the Fearless Lion, such a statement was far too audacious and could easily ignite a war between the living and humanity.

Nansheng, her large eyes hidden beneath the shadow of her fist, cast a secret glance at Chen Qingdi. Then, feigning ignorance, she climbed onto the bed and naturally lay down in the middle.

"Since it’s come to this, I’ll send you on your way." A sharp glint flashed in Byakuya Kuchiki’s eyes. Since you are so ungrateful, I shall make you realize the vast gap between us.

Within the livestream, which had fallen silent after the appearance of Shen Qiang’s blade aura, countless messages flooded the chat in an instant.

They had shattered Monkey’s arm; if not for Lin Feng, his arm would have been left completely crippled.

The two high-ranking gods did not know the exact extent of Solo’s power, but they knew clearly that in his presence, they were nothing more than ants, easily crushed by his hand.

"Let me tell you something: the wealthy woman who is keeping Wu Nianzhong is Zhu Xunjiang’s cousin-in-law..." said Fang Meiling.

Without a word, Xiao Yu followed Liu Yan to the region where the Ancient Sword Divine Tree resided. This was the core of the Sword Academy, guarded by a great number of experts.

Just before Qin Ye reached the Imperial Palace, he felt an odd atmosphere, which left him suspicious and uneasy.

"Too bad you’re a step too late," Yan Niang said, splashing water onto the floor with a look of disgust.

Daimao’s intentions in saying this were clear: there was no issue with introducing people to her, provided they were properly vetted; if something went wrong, they would not be able to shirk the responsibility. This was a case of "courtesy before force," a way of sifting through the personnel being sent to her—she did not accept just anyone.

Upon entering the shelter, Zhang Sheng discovered it was not large, perhaps only a hundred square meters, yet it was already crammed with nearly forty or fifty people. It could only be described as stifling.

Jiang Muyuan had originally intended to check on the Shuntian Prefecture office, but given his current condition, that was clearly impossible, so he simply turned back toward the Duke of Ning’s residence.

However, since the incident had already occurred and her second sister had been harmed, Yang Yuwei could only do her best to mitigate the consequences.

"Very well." Li Donghua had not expected Daimao to know he was injured without him saying a word, but he obediently went to wash up.

Although Xiao Yi’s talent did not quite match that of Liu Xi, who had entered Xichen Mountain at the same time, it was still impressive enough to earn the recognition of many elders in the outer sect.

In an instant, all the students of the Qiwu Academy distanced themselves from Nian Yuge, each acting as if they did not know him at all.

Shen Qingyu gloated silently in her heart. Chu Ning had chosen her last night, and he had chosen her again today... Lin Shihan was not far from losing this capable subordinate, Chu Ning.
