Chapter 30: Seduced by Beauty

Three feet of twilight carpeted the ground, and Pei Shijing slowly smiled.

Xie Yun was truly an unexpected woman.

He had thought her a noble daughter of an aristocratic family, somewhat constrained and stiff from strict upbringing. Yet ever since the time he had rescued her two years ago, every encounter with her had brought him a new surprise.

Cast from the heights of nobility into the mud, she showed not the slightest embarrassment, as though she would calmly accept whatever fate placed before her. And yet, when it came to him...

For Heaven on Earth to open and operate in such a “golden location,” and to have the audacity to harbor every kind of filth, it relied not only on the formidable backing behind it, but also on its mature business practices.

Batt had many things to do. As for the fortifications, they could only make use of whatever they had for the time being.

Young Master Ye could not be bothered to waste more words on Wu Shun. He switched on his phone’s flashlight and swept it around the bathroom, thinking that for Daiguli to have escaped from there in such a short time, the bathroom must contain a secret passage. And that passage should not be far from the toilet where Daiguli had been squatting.

Yet Lei Zhan did not move at all this time. The bullet flew straight past him.

When Naze saw that she looked unwell, he realized that he had lost his composure and was about to explain. But Momo glanced over, carried the child to White Lady’s side, and White Lady suddenly burst out laughing.

Having said this much, Ran Zhongyan had indeed laid out every reason in full. Jiang Zaiyuan thought it over. Though he still felt somewhat resistant, agreeing for the moment would not be a bad thing. There was, however, one point he had to ask about.

Young Master Ye pointed at Lin Feihong’s sole and said, “From the perspective of meridian theory, every function of the human internal organs corresponds to an acupoint on the feet. The feet are not only the starting points of the three yin meridians of the foot, but also the terminal points of the three yang meridians of the foot. The roots of these six meridians are each located in six acupoints on the feet.

Facing that vast and chilling ghostly aura, he circulated his vital energy and invoked his divine power, forcibly carving out a place of refuge within Ksitigarbha’s realm of yin spirits.

Jiang Yao tugged at the corner of his mouth and bitterly thought, It is not that I never had wicked thoughts; I simply lacked the power to act on them. Thanks to the Peacock Great Wisdom King, I fear that until this young hero breaks through to the Human Immortal realm, he will have no choice but to be a righteous gentleman.

When they appeared again, they had returned to Gu Fengyun’s great hall. After entering, Gu Fengyun sat down casually, then summoned a fierce gust of wind, from which two chairs materialized.

With the Empress shielding her like an immovable mountain, and Li Yulin’s wife protecting her with a heart so partial it bordered on absurdity, Yang Chun could not truly do anything to Yang Yuxi.

“This... isn’t it too soon? The coach said we were to use it in this year’s Crown League. If we use it now, won’t that expose us?” Ma Jun said.

She extended her jade-like hand, which had recovered considerably, and gently brushed it across his resolute brows and eyes. With a soft laugh, she thought that having him there was wonderful. Opening her eyes to see his face was what made her feel safest of all.

Three days later, within a magnificent jade tower, lanterns intertwined, glazed light shimmered, goblets clinked, laughter and conversation rang out, and countless figures moved to and fro.

The question was why, among the children currently living at Nanshan Orphanage, some students had developed strange abilities.

After Major General Sun and Deputy Major General Cha finished introducing everything to him, the three of them discussed the welcoming ceremony scheduled for the following day. In the end, they decided that Major General Sun, Chief of Staff Wang, and Adviser Li would attend together, escorted by the Third Guard Battalion.

When he heard the words “biological modification,” the nation’s Number One frowned slightly, but he did not tell Wu Min to stop.

Of course, this sword was not a true physical object. Jian Chen had used the power of his soul to suppress the spirits of the four flying swords here. Over the past several centuries, the Demon Emperor had ceaselessly battered them, finally weakening their power considerably. But recently, His Majesty the Demon Emperor had business elsewhere, so he had sent us here to break the final seal.

How could Aotian not want to rescue his beloved? But the other party was also a cultivator and had already brought out a magical treasure. Aotian had no idea whether that treasure possessed any offensive power. If his rash impulse caused the bodyguards to attack without warning, he would have no one to blame but himself.
