Chapter 24: I’ll Send Someone to Protect You

"Where did you hear all of this?"

The plan to take action against the Zong clan was something he had discussed with Emperor Yongxi only this morning before leaving the palace. Aside from Cao Yuanchun, no one had yet linked this matter to the Fu family.

Yet Xie Yun, a young lady confined to her chambers, knew of it.

Pei Shijin’s first reaction was that Xie Huaishu must have told her previously.

If so...

Bai Xing and the Third Prince kept their eyes lowered, feigning indifference, their expressions as still as stone. They knew that any guest invited to dine with them must be held in high regard by their Imperial Father, but his opening words left them astonished.

When the ice python touched Xinglian’s shoulder, it seemed to recognize its master immediately; it reared its head and slithered swiftly to coil around her arm.

As I was traveling, someone called out from behind. I turned to see it was that level 39 knight, and by his demeanor, it was clear he was calling for me.

Much of the simple information on the network can be obtained with a mere flick of the wrist. Having calculated the room number, he walked nonchalantly across the reinforced glass panels, ultimately vaulting with perfect precision into the guest room of the Japanese man named Kentaro Shimada.

Yun Zhongzi remained on high alert, countering the various attacks of the benevolent incarnation. To his surprise, however, there were no strikes—only the roars of the dragon, phoenix, and qilin, followed by the sudden emergence of the three divine beasts.

With that, Zhang Huixin took out some pork belly and carried it to the kitchen to slice it into long strips. The meat was remarkably thick, with a layer of fat the width of a palm, indicating that this was no ordinary farm-raised pig fed on commercial feed, but a true home-raised hog. It was clear that Song Bin had put genuine thought into this gift.

Zhu Da could not be bothered by the speculations of outsiders; he felt it was not yet time to concern himself with such things. At this moment, he was only puzzled as to why no one in charge was to be found.

The commoners, seeing the spectacle, realized they had encountered someone of great importance and immediately knelt on the ground.

I can no longer recall exactly how many people I killed along the way, but my name had already turned from red to pitch black.

However, the vixen spirit was inherently cunning, wicked, and venomous. Even if she were to submit temporarily due to the circumstances, she would inevitably turn against them later, likely becoming a grave threat.

"Xiang'er’s 'destiny' has arrived, but where does mine and Sister Zhaoxia’s lie?" Lu Hong knew full well that once Lu Xiang'er was betrothed, Mother Lu would surely shift her focus onto him and Zhaoxia.

Only now did Hu Mei'er feel that even if she were to lose her life for Gu Yu, having this moment made everything she had done worthwhile.

The intense killing intent felt almost tangible. Lady Hu’s pupils shimmered with a brilliant light as she half-turned, executing a dance of light mist.

Nachi sat on the sofa to the side, boredly flipping through the television channels. Hearing Xie Wu’s words, he glanced back at him and chuckled.

Description: Originally practitioners of the Temple of Light, they were victims of the war between gods and demons during the era of upheaval. As their souls entered the cycle of reincarnation, they were guided by the Demon God’s Wheel of Fate, becoming infused with demonic essence.

Where was the loyalty? Did any affection remain? He no longer believed in any brotherhood; it was all a lie, a deception. When it came to a critical juncture, everything could be cast aside.

"By the way, Chai Ling, come a little closer. I have something to tell you." Su Xing suddenly offered a mysterious smile and pulled Chai Ling toward him, whispering into her ear. Their bodies drew close, and the scent of masculine vitality drifting into her ear caused Chai Ling to lose her composure, a flush rising to her cheeks.

"Everyone, there is no need to worry. I have escape techniques to protect myself; it will be very difficult for them to track me down." Sensing their anxiety, Zhao Yan couldn't help but smile calmly, waving his hand in dismissal.

Shadows flickered within the firelight, accompanied by intermittent, eerie laughter or whimpering that chilled the soul.
