Volume 1, Chapter 29: A Foolish Negotiation

(1/3)

Perhaps it was out of kindness, because Annie looked so gentle and adorable? Of course, it was more likely due to distrust of strangers that the man, who seemed jumpy and on edge, nervously and somewhat bluffingly continued to shout loudly.

At that time, the void had just begun to manifest, and the Chaotic Azure Lotus had not yet shattered, so they could not survive outside the void. All chaotic gods and demons believed they had long perished beyond the void.

A powerful pressure emanated from the vortex, as if it could drain all vitality; just a glance could stop one’s heart from beating.

It was an indigenous boy of about eleven or twelve years old, wearing a straw raincoat. He ran while crying, vanishing into the twilight in the blink of an eye.

With that step, countless molten lava and flames scattered, covering a radius of a hundred meters all around.

Could it be that within the sea of my will, there is a trap or some hidden presence here, which frightened them away?

Ordinary treasures no longer stir Lin Feng’s heart. He cannot discern the preciousness of this box; aside from the spiritual energy fluctuations, it is so ordinary.

Not to mention Professor Dong lacks authority or responsibility, even making a fuss for a single student is truly unnecessary.

Despite so many insects dying, those creatures have not given up yet?

McCall also reminded everyone that this match was without liability—frankly, even if someone were killed, there would be no legal responsibility.

A string of fire shadows flickered into the sky; a black gleam howled past the treetops. If it weren’t for the keen insight of the Yin-Yang Eye, which caught the anomaly in time, his feet would have been severed.

Sometimes it must be said, although Sanar is simple-minded, when it comes to solving problems, he gets straight to the point without being fooled by appearances. If he disagrees and cannot persuade others, he simply sets aside the dispute.

With a carefree, pale face without a trace of blood, he looked at her. Each person spoke a sentence, somewhat urgently, but mostly with restrained suffering.

Third Elder stood as a backup, ready to support and protect the clan’s youth. Dongfang Xin wiped the sweat from his face and glanced back at Dongfang Yu, who was drenched in sweat.

“Aren’t you the one who said I don’t deserve Dongfang Bai and told me to get lost quickly?” Lin Xianyu looked helplessly at Zhao Xueman.

Specifically, the School of Authority divides into four cultivation methods: controlling the mind, controlling nature, controlling desire, and controlling greed. The sages often saved beings, looking down upon all life, revealing the path of authority for self-realization. Hence, the four authority paths were opened to subdue and transform. The first is to repress desire, which must be firmly controlled—this is controlling the mind.

But clearly, what Nie Fan did exceeded the expectations of the Crown Prince, and everyone else’s as well, because Nie Fan turned from weak to strong in an instant.

“Hahaha, young man, victory lies not in numbers but in skill!” A deep voice came from a nearby rock. A tall figure sat astride a horse, eyes blazing with firelight, staring intently at the army below the slope.

Dongfang Xin hurriedly circulated his source energy, gathering it between his palms. “Earth’s secret art—Falling Leaf Pulse Wave!” With a loud shout, he thrust his palms forward, and the pulse wave struck the pursuers at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After hearing this, Ajuan smiled happily, saying nothing, but gently rested her head on Dongfang Ming’s broad shoulder.

Sulu was crafty and fully aware of his importance. His strategy was to befriend all three sides without offending any, thus profiting from the situation. The Tang dynasty, Later Turkic Khaganate, and Tubo all sought to curry favor with him, each marrying a princess to Sulu. He made all three princesses his consorts.

I think this is truly the happiest thing this New Year. Joyfully, I told Yang Tian we must find a day to visit Shenzhen.

The meat of the alligator gar reached premium quality, tasting exceptionally delicious. Combined with saffron, the two ingredients stimulated each other, elevating the flavor of the alligator gar.

Aunt Su Zhen said I must have reunion dinner at home on New Year’s Eve, so she prepared it a day early—on the twenty-ninth.

“Tea, serve tea, fine tea!” Chen Wanrong chuckled softly as he recited this famous satirical couplet.

Upon hearing this, Ye Nan stopped his movements and sat down on a lounge chair by the pond. Inside the Immortal’s Tomb, there were only two things: one was the bottles of primordial pills, whose effects were well known—one pill could create an innate strong cultivator, making them exceedingly precious.

Wu Zetian originally intended to marry Princess Taiping to Wu Chengsi, but because Wu Chengsi fell ill, the plan failed. Ultimately, Princess Taiping married Wu Youji. From this marriage onward, she began keeping male favorites and committing adultery with court officials. To please Wu Zetian, she even presented Wu Zetian with her favored male lover, Zhang Changzong.

Lin’s family was resentful. Family scandals must not be exposed. Shuang’er was becoming more and more thoughtless; once home, she would be confined to her room for a month.

However, although there were many such methods, each had limitations. Especially as cultivators’ levels rose and opponents’ strength increased, these methods became less and less effective.

After chatting for a while, Qin Yi recounted the entire matter and vaguely revealed the FBI’s movements.

“An elder, an old acquaintance of our Xiao family who has returned from overseas. When the time comes, you can call him Uncle Tang,” Xiao Chen said, looking ahead.

Li Hongwu had now returned to his original appearance. Looking down at himself, naked without a stitch of clothing, which was simpler—if he wore clothes, those things below would be even harder to manage.

“Xiangshu Mountain? I haven’t come looking for you, yet you dare attack me! Do you think I, Shen Gongbao, am an easy target?” Kang Mang’s voice was hoarse to the extreme, aided by Aruba.
