Chapter 39: The Mysterious Note

"Did you see Wu Ping's daughter?"

Officer Guo, who had just started the car, slammed on the brakes, producing a sharp screech of tires. The occupants of the car were caught completely off guard, their bodies pitching forward uncontrollably. Fu Yuan was the most unprepared of all, her head slamming directly into the back of Guo Yu’s seat.

Rubbing her nose, which still stung a little, she replied, "I'm not entirely sure. She was wearing a white doll dress and had her hair in braids. She was very easy to recognize."

Officer Guo opened the car door and asked:

The burly man let out a shout and swung his arms toward me. The twenty-four iron rings flew straight at me. I blocked them with my gun, and the rings rebounded, the impact forcing me back several steps.

The speaker had no ulterior motive, but the listener took it to heart. Liu Yanran’s face turned beet red, and she abruptly shoved a handful of potato chips into Xiao Dong'er’s mouth.

She turned to get off the bed and leave, but a powerful force yanked her back, pinning her against his chest with her back to him.

"What do we do now?" He looked visibly panicked. Since those four Golden Core Realm cultivators had failed, the enemies they faced this time would surely be even stronger, not weaker.

Life at home was not as difficult as before; the original cloth curtains had been replaced with sheer gauze, which was actually quite breathable.

She had clearly scoured the mountainside with Ye Zimei and Nian He; any debris that needed clearing had long since been removed. It wasn't the season for summer thunderstorms, so how could a fire have broken out so suddenly?

Perhaps sensing a gaze upon her, Mother Yu sat up straight with a start, crossed her arms over her chest, and began to mutter something to herself.

Locusts live on grain. Although all the shops had closed, it was clearly a result of the locust plague. To know just how severe the infestation had become, one would need to go to the countryside to see the state of the crops.

Damn, this is just too mythological. Could there really be immortals in this world? This monster has taken many lives in its time; as for becoming an immortal, let's forget that. Being a demon god, however, might suit it.

The snow gradually melted, and the geese returned in neat formation. The wind was still blowing, but it had lost its bite. The ice between Ice Goose and me had also melted, and our hearts were now tightly bound together.

If Bao Xin had arrived in Heluo a few months earlier, Lu Zhi could have held the defensive line, firmly guarding Tongguan—the gateway into Guanzhong—thereby threatening Dong Zhuo’s faction and denying them a moment of peace.

Xia Zhong, having witnessed Zhang Yi’s power, dared not ask any more questions. When he heard Zhang Yi ask for water, he tossed a water skin toward him. Seeing it fly through the air, Zhang Yi unleashed several sword auras, shattering the skin instantly and sending the water splashing in every direction.

Following that, the group continued to advance, slaughtering every zombie they encountered, which ultimately became nourishment for the Black Dragon.

"Nephew, you haven't been to a place like that, have you? Are you not satisfied with these few? Should your aunt pick out some more for you from the Vulture Peak Palace?" Wu Xingyun sat in her palanquin, laughing and teasing Zhang Yi as she listened to the passersby.

"Yes, I apologize. I mistook you for someone else," Murong Shijing said before leaving the Imperial Garden.

"Enough with the nonsense! I’m going to enforce family law!" Men Hao, having nothing else to say to change the subject, lunged forward viciously.

Su Jinyin was not the least bit surprised. She had long ago witnessed the depth of Li Yunyun’s scheming. Challenging her to a competition and seizing the opportunity to bring others along to watch her make a fool of herself—this was exactly the kind of thing she would do.

Could it be that the Princess finds Su Jinyin’s archery skills so lacking that she intends to call off the match? Everyone looked over with expressions of doubt.

However, looking back now, Anya finally understood that it had been an act put on by Luo Feng. He didn't actually mean it, did he?

Yao Yuetian looked at Su Yang with a glimmer of interest, though tinged with gravity. Su Yang’s power was too terrifying. By inhabiting Ye Fan’s body, he actually intended to fight a powerhouse at the Saint Master level?
