Volume One, Chapter 40: What Just Happened

Yu Jin’s eyes widened. She saw that his eyes were closed, his flawless skin clean and pristine; he looked as if he were merely asleep.
No, that was not the case.
The hand he had placed on her slender back moved with precision, sliding upward until it paused at a metal clasp.
Yu Jin was momentarily stunned, feeling the garment supporting her chest shift.
A chilling aura pressed in, a baleful energy sharp as a blade, as a thunderous roar erupted from the black sedan: "The ghost army is passing through; stand aside!" The tone was suffused with an intense, icy malevolence—inviolable and bone-chilling.
"Uh, could it be... husband?" Under the gentle prodding of a certain someone, Mi Duo finally succeeded in uttering the word. As soon as it left her lips, her face flushed a sudden, deep red.
While busy entangling with Leng Qianxue, they had not noticed when the Wedding March suddenly began to play. Then, the master of ceremonies’ magnetic voice rang out, followed by a burst of enthusiastic applause from the entire hall.
"This stick actually has a beautiful name?" Yan Fei examined the staff over and over with suspicion, unable to make sense of it. Heaven knows where the Divine Mage had casually snapped off a branch, stripped it clean, and scorched it over a fire to make it look like this.
A sudden inspiration struck, and she blurted out, "I know, life lies in stillness." Immediately after, she could be heard covering her face as she fled. Oh yeah, she had won again.
Yue Longtian remembered the promise he had made to Xiao Feifei’s mother, He Zhizhen. Since he had already accepted her money, he naturally had to fulfill his end of the bargain.
However, judging by that fellow’s performance just now, he likely only appeared well-behaved on the surface; there was no telling how many people he had secretly clashed with behind the scenes.
At his words, Mo Liang couldn't help but reach out and give the back of his head a resounding slap. Staying with this idiot, she really didn't know how many more times she would be left speechless or driven to the brink of rage by him. It was truly unbearable.
But to Helian Nuo’s immense surprise, this second stone fragment was not red like the first one; instead, it was blue—the blue of the ocean.
Yahiko watched the clones in the gravity chamber. These physical training clones could not transmit their cultivated strength to the original body at any time; it was not pure energy, but rather something that had to be integrated into the body, which could only happen once the clones were completely dissolved.
After wandering in circles for so many years, giving him up was impossible, so she had no choice but to abandon her career.
The moment she realized her weight was likely similar to Guan Ming’s, she felt incredibly dejected. Usually, the mere mention of a meal would have her wishing she had eight legs to sprint to the cafeteria, but this thought had ruined her appetite entirely.
A-Niu followed the sound, keeping low behind the trees and using the lush foliage as cover. The valley was overgrown with trees and fragrant grass, like a paradise on earth—if only it weren't for that pervasive, icy chill, what a beautiful place it would be.
"Then what is his relationship with the Church of Light?" Lu Kuan asked directly about the matter that concerned him most.
After Li Tian finished speaking, his fist struck A-Kun’s face once more. This time, fueled by rage, the blow knocked several of A-Kun’s teeth out.
Yet, the village’s traditions had persisted for so many years, having long since implemented various intentional and unintentional measures to prevent anyone from escaping. First and foremost was the road to the town; the village chief’s house stood right beside it, and he kept three terrifying hounds that would alert him to anyone passing by.
"The War God Palace’s trial for recruiting disciples is in three days. Will you be coming to participate?" Jun Wushuang gazed at Xiao Yueyi, who had appeared before him, his eyes filled with a complex emotion.
Although Er Gouzi was terrified of Li Mu, with You’er present and the encouraging looks from the uncles around him, he stepped directly onto Li Mu’s head and climbed up.
