Volume 1, Chapter 99: If She Were Your Wife in a Past Life, What Would You Do?

"What is there to envy about you?" Ji Junxiao said as if he had just heard a joke. "Are you prettier than her? Is your man more capable than mine? Or are you smarter than her? If anyone should be envious, it should be you envying her. Everyone in the village knows my wife is the most capable one."

Xia Zhiyuan was left speechless, trembling with rage. In the end, she could no longer bear to stay, and covering her face with her hands, she pushed through the crowd and ran off.

Seeing this, the few people who had been accusing Lin Ranran moments earlier came forward one after another to apologize. "Comrade, we're truly sorry. Just now we were being unreasonable and wrongly blamed you."

Lin Ranran waved her hand magnanimously. "Those who do not know cannot be blamed. I don't hold it against you."

Only then did the crowd disperse, and as they left, they were still...

And when it came to how the Xie family had once used slanderous schemes to bring down the Yan family, who had always helped them, the old man fell silent. He could not discuss his former master behind his back, and naturally found himself at a loss for words.

As a result, the forty-plus alien war gods who had intended to surround Ji Tianxing completely abandoned the idea.

But now they were in Yangzhou, a city ruled by the demonic path, and to speak of one of the Nine Demon Palace's demon lords in such a manner—in the eyes of many, this Lu Xuantian was slapping the entire demonic path in the face.

The man before them, though little known, was absolutely the finest whetstone for tempering one's martial arts.

They could possibly be the extraterrestrial demons spoken of by immortal sect cultivators, the ones trapped within the Immortal Palace with no means of escape. But if that were the case, the lifespan of such extraterrestrial demons was far too terrifying.

With a casual wave of his hand, a stream of pure spiritual energy was already infused into Wang Qiang's body. In the blink of an eye, flesh and blood regrew where his severed leg had been, and his entire body surged with strength.

Selif watched the fleeing enemies, his heart burning with fury, yet he still retained a shred of reason, knowing that this was not the time to give chase.

Old Madam Hong could no longer control her anger. Spreading both arms, she lunged toward Dong Yun'er on the ground.

Even their clothing and adornments consisted mostly of long skirts, leather boots, and veils, full of exotic flair.

Inside Zhuge Qing'er's room, Tushan Shu was circling the room's owner with a curious expression, occasionally reaching out to pinch the other's body.

"Ah~ this feeling is truly comfortable, being able to walk upon such an ancient forbidden land," the tree sighed, as if savoring the moment.

The ferocious beast tossed the blood-soaked corpse aside and let out a roar at the crowd, as if it did not regard them in the slightest, its eyes filled with provocation and mockery.

Ouyang Changlin was startled awake by Ouyang Lina's angry huffs. His face flushed red, but he quickly remembered the important matter at hand and flashed out of the room.

Oboi took the memorial from Liang Jiugong's hands with a thoughtful expression, then glanced at Sonin with puzzlement. They had clearly agreed to suppress the Han ministers, and this was a crucial moment—why would Sonin pull such a stunt now? He opened the memorial, and its contents filled him with great fury.

The storage room doors of the shops along the street were generally designed to be light and convenient, but this one appeared extremely heavy. Through the double-layered glass on the door, one could tell its thickness. Even if fur were an extremely expensive commodity, there was no need to go to such lengths to build a storage room to protect it.

Luo Wanyin and her companions saw that matters had developed to this point and clearly there was no more excitement to be had. Just as they were about to look away, the other party's carriage drew up beside them and the coachman reined the horses to a stop.

"You little brat, you dare pull one over on me!" The young man was so angry his face turned red, and he raised his hand to slap the railing with loud cracking sounds.

So fragrant, so sweet, and the key thing was that after drinking this water, he could feel completely full, and moreover, his mental energy was extremely充沛—no, his mental energy was extremely abundant.

"Absolutely not! Stay put and behave yourself!" A rare look of severity appeared on Fat Chu's face.

"What's done is done. Regretting it now is already too late. What we need to do is stop it," Lan Shengxue said in a cold, detached tone.

"What's wrong, Yaotian?" Su Mo looked at Li Yaotian, who had entered the room with his back to her and hadn't spoken a word since, and asked with some confusion.

What the two of them never expected was that at that moment, the Wei army's deputy general conceived a scheme, forcing An Ruiqi to have no choice but to deliver a killing blow.

The moment the Dark Scepter was held in his hand, he could feel a tremendous repulsive force surging from it, as if it were about to fly out of his palm at any moment.

"Sir, for a high-level ability user like yourself, credit points no longer hold much use. I happen to have some connections with Master Ye Quan in the city and could introduce you to him. Would you perhaps be willing to show some consideration in the price?" A potion shop owner stepped forward and said with a smile.

The night wind cooled the desire in his heart slightly. But then he suddenly realized he didn't know where he should go.

Hearing that troops were about to be deployed, Yuchi Baolin, Li Dejian, and Li Chongyi all brightened up, as if they had found purpose in life, their eyes wide as they stared at Zhang Nan.

"But if you go, I'll only worry even more." Li Yaotian dared not place Su Mo in an uncertain position. That would be far too dangerous for him.

In outer space, massive starships exploded one after another, disintegrating in the void into countless shattered components. Cannon barrels several meters thick fired clusters of glowing blue plasma, destroying everything along their path.

A colossal flying vessel, thousands of kilometers long, had been slowly advancing through the cosmos. Upon seeing the golden light, it immediately came to a gradual halt, and only after the golden light and the carriage upon it had completely vanished did it dare to set sail once more.

"Yaotian, it seems there's nothing wrong with this dog..." Su Mo examined it over and over without finding anything unusual, and Li Yaotian had also turned the box inside out, confirming that it was just a toy dog.

After hugging Tang Jin tightly one by one, Tang Tianba and the others reluctantly boarded the carriage drawn by four heavenly horses and stepped into its luxurious cabin.

As the headscarf fell and her hair cascaded down, the round bun atop her head was revealed, a golden hairpin still stuck in it.

Tang Jin had anticipated this reaction from the Heavenly Court true immortal, which was precisely why he had shooed away the surrounding onlookers before revealing his identity. Tang Jin had no desire to become famous throughout the immortal realm in an instant.

Yin Feng uttered softly, and black lotus petals appeared one after another in midair. With ceaseless sizzling sounds, all the beast souls were refined into nothingness.

"Not bad." She nodded. "May I ask, that pond in the garden... those crustaceans—how long have you been raising them?" When she had passed by, she had clearly seen a pond full of lobsters. She just didn't know what they were called here.

Stopping in his tracks, he no longer made for the green belt. The three of them walked toward a garden rest area as if in conversation. Li Pengyu followed behind.
