Volume 1, Chapter 51: Are You Overly Aggressive?

Huo Shixu waited until close to midnight, yet Song Nanyi still had not returned home.

Initially, he assumed she had gone back to her parental home. He called Song Xinyan, who had just started her vacation, and casually asked about it.

The person on the other end replied that she had not gone back.

He then sent her numerous messages, asking where she was.

Still, there was no reply.

After calling her several times, her phone was powered off.

Could it be...

Was she with Lu Weiqian?

The very thought that this possibility was exceedingly high made Huo Shixu unable to suppress his rising anger. He grabbed his jacket, got into his car, and drove straight to Lu Weiqian's residence.

"Get your ass out here right now," he growled furiously into his phone.

Lu Weiqian was just getting ready for bed when he received Huo Shixu's call. Completely baffled, he threw on a bathrobe and walked out from—

"To think something like this could happen?" Tie Zheng muttered in astonishment. He had previously encountered followers of Song Qian and knew how utterly respectful they were toward him. Just a moment ago, he had already devised a plan to approach the opponent and launch a surprise attack, never expecting a flaw to emerge over such a trivial detail.

Returning to the top streamer's room, the viewer count had already surpassed two million, securing her undisputed first place.

Time flew by. Several months later, the Rule Nest in the starry sky had completely vanished, and countless cultivators with various expressions began returning to the star realms one after another.

"The child is calling me," Zulan said happily, hurrying to fly down and land beneath the gourd vine trellis.

Double Monthly Tickets event~ Everyone, please cast a monthly ticket to support the Heavenly Queen's concert. Then you will be surprised to find out—wait, how did it suddenly turn into two tickets?

Just as the climax of the melody approached, it was abruptly cut short. The singing did not stop entirely, however; the musical style shifted dramatically, and she began singing the lyrics of an entirely different song.

According to summarized figures, the number of merchants and trading caravans arriving in Longcheng from outside the empire this time exceeded three hundred thousand. Combined with the indigenous merchants of the Divine Dragon Empire, the total was well over half a million. Such a colossal caravan had been delivering goods in an endless stream since a month ago.

Regarding Flack's response, Luo Chen offered a cold smile and did not dwell any further on the matter.

Therefore, dealing with an artificial intelligence that had suffered such severe damage and was even on the verge of self-destruction just to snatch a sliver of survival was as easy as taking candy from a baby.

Yet another otherworldly entity, similar to that of Moluomi, appeared. At this moment, its grayish-white saber swept like the wind, engaging Ling Chong in fierce combat. Over a dozen surrounding cultivators and otherworldly entities were innocently dragged into the fray, instantly letting out miserable shrieks and dying violently on the spot.

The second floor was completely different from the first, branching out into thousands of intersecting corridors. Ye Yu and Gong Yuling chose one of the corridors and walked down it.

"Big sister, what kind of cat food does your cat usually eat?" Unexpectedly, instead of asking to pet Erhua, she asked this question.

Just a moment ago, they had clearly held the upper hand. If Luo Kaiping had added just a few more words, Ma Hao would likely have completely lost his composure. After all, facing a completely unforeseen turn of events—no matter how much Ma Hao had experienced—such a sudden blow would thoroughly scramble his wits, leaving him momentarily clueless about how to react.

Tiger did not mind much. He had merely been imitating Alice casually, and some of his awkward gestures were well within his expectations. Seeing Alice laughing happily, Tiger rubbed the back of his head and chuckled along with her.

Li Longchang was already walking quite steadily. He tugged at the corner of Consort Liu's robe, revealing half of his face, yet his dark-mercury-like eyes stared unflinchingly at Tao Zhaohua, before suddenly blooming with an innocent and carefree smile.

"How about it, care to have a drink? To toast your unparalleled lip fragrance!" Lin Feng said with a smile as he poured her a glass. He took a sip himself first before handing it to her.

Despite saying that, judging from the situation unfolding before them, there seemed to be hidden depths to the matter. Yet, being weak and isolated, I had no other choice but to figure out a way to chase them away first.

Early the next morning, Tiger woke up. After briefly calling out to Sinu through the door, he left the inn alone. He planned to inquire about the origins and prices of the auxiliary materials for the earth-type auxiliary potion and the Fire God Pill.

"Hey, you aren't allowed to leave! Hand over the method to solve the eighth trial!" Seeing Lu Yu and the two others turn around and attempt to run, Lei Qing'er, who had been quietly keeping an eye on them, spoke up in a very spoiled and willful tone. Hearing her words, Lu Yu stuck out her tongue and stopped in her tracks with an expression of intense annoyance.

After a long moment, the noisy scene fell instantly silent. Aside from heavy breathing, you could hear a pin drop.

I actually wanted to refuse; I had no desire to get tangled up in such matters. But seeing Kuta's gloomy expression, I instinctively did not say no.

"Greetings, Lord Lian." Seeing the master of the sect introduce the newcomer with such solemnity, the numerous elders bowed respectfully. The three Zhao Zhen siblings followed suit, bowing deeply before Lian Qishan.

He began to kiss her. This kiss carried a special significance, serving as truly the first real kiss between them. Her lips, clearly a place of utmost softness, acted like a trap, pulling him deeper and deeper into an abyss.

"Could it be that many cultivators above the Saint King level have been taken away?" Muchen asked with a dark and grim expression.

With a deep frown, Ren Yingying looked at everything unfolding before her, a surge of burning anger welling up in her chest. Su Wanqing had been kidnapped, yet Tang Fei still had the mood to flirt here?

Seeming to sense someone shaking her, Ling Lan's consciousness appeared to return to normal in an instant. She stared wide-eyed at Yang Xudong, whose expression at that moment was also one of extreme tension.

It was not just men like Fan Tong; almost ninety-nine percent of the men present had their gazes locked onto Catherine. Although Catherine lacked the dazzling beauty of Liu Yuxi, falling slightly short, her multitude of identities only made the possessive desire of men all the more terrifying.

Of course, Xu Jiayao would not step forward personally. With so many companies under her command, a single phone call from her was enough to resolve the issue. Upon receiving Yang Xudong's call, Xu Jiayao made arrangements immediately, terrified of delaying any major matters for him.

"I said, everything is in my hands. I will not let anything happen to your mother," Muchen said with absolute confidence.

The dragon aura released this time was more than a dozen times stronger than the previous one. Even if a mountain were struck by this single droplet, it would shatter into dust.

Seeing that Tang Xiaoru trusted me so deeply, if I were to just walk away like that, it would truly be a betrayal of her goodwill. After a moment of thought, I opened the front door and climbed in. The driver had already stepped out, leaving only Tang Xiaoru, Zhang Wen, and myself inside the car. Zhang Wen's expression was exceedingly grim, while Tang Xiaoru wore a faint smile.

San Chi said, "My master merely asked casually with no other intentions. You may wait patiently at the estate; my master may still have use for you in the near future." With that, he mounted his horse and galloped back.
