Volume 1, Chapter 49: You Are a Family Man Now, Don't Mess Around Out There

Cheng Yan immediately broke into a smile. "Zhinan, it's fine. My older cousin is probably just too exhausted, which is why her mood isn't very good."

Li Zhinan asked in a deep voice, "Did the medicine from the Seed Research Institute really take effect?"

"Yes, and that medicine was even developed by my cousin herself. I always said that the children of a dragon and a phoenix could not possibly be ordinary. This time, my cousin has also successfully restored her parents' reputation." Cheng Yan's words were filled with good intentions, making them very pleasant to hear.

Li Zhinan furrowed his brows deeply and looked in the direction where Cheng Xi had disappeared.

At that moment, Chu Huaijing walked out of the conference room. Seeing the three of them standing in the corridor, he looked around in bewilderment, failing to catch a glimpse of Cheng Xi.

"Huaijing, may I have a word with you in private?..."

The fact that Ling Muxuan had bestowed upon Lian Qiao the title of secondary consort had not yet been reported to the imperial court, so everyone outside the Prince Mu's Estate continued to address her as Madam.

The immense pressure seemed to cause the entire area to freeze momentarily. Even the hundreds of armored figures felt the strain, which was evident from their rigid postures, including Xiseni.

Although it did not belong to a major reward category, the Advanced Xingyiquan, granted as a branch reward, came with yet another special bonus.

Amidst such a chaotic melee, the low- and mid-tier spirit masters at the bottom of the hierarchy had it truly miserable; simply being struck by a single attack could cause them to lose their combat capability, leaving their margin for error pitifully low.

When he once again casually chose a room and pushed the door open, he finally discovered a trace of something different.

Once his weakened state was lifted, Chopper turned his head to examine Nami and Sanji closely, trying to unearth any information about them in his mind.

Usopp channeled his magic power into the three keys, causing them to emit a faint golden glow and float into the air, swaying gently.

Although Jinbe was the foremost powerhouse of the Fish-Man race, his strength as their king was naturally formidable, and he also bore the title of the Knight of the Sea.

"Don't worry, I'll keep watch outside the door for you. Just call out to me when you're done." Xu Erge finished speaking and walked straight out the door.

Bai Mengxian nodded to Ling Hongxue, every movement of hers detached from the mortal world, as if she had leaped beyond the Three Realms and transcended the Five Elements, her unrestrained and free-spirited charm flowing like freely splashed ink.

Thousands of cultivators sighed at the might of the Beast King Mountain, and one after another, they began to doubt the wisdom of searching for its treasures. If the treasures were truly hidden deep within Beast King Mountain and they searched with reckless abandon, given their current strength, even if they actually found them, would they be able to carry them away?

"Sister, let me do it. I'm already used to it anyway." Chen Xing muttered, lowering his head as he swept, and said nothing more after that.

"I'll massage it for you." Disregarding whatever he was saying, Jun Muyi sat down, poured a bit of medicated wine into her palms, and began massaging the spot for him.

It was not the first time Xie Zhiyu had realized that this system of his was unlike any system he had previously understood.

The moment she woke up, Jun Muyi heard the sound of rain outside. Fatigue still lingering in her eyes, she felt the warmth in her palm and looked toward the side.

However, doing this had both advantages and disadvantages. If things went wrong, one would suffer the backlash of karmic fortune, which was why recent Human Emperors had not chosen this path.

Although the vacuum before him was nothing much, he had already explained it to her once before, so the element of surprise was bound to have decreased significantly.

Given the current situation, with their Crossing Alliance facing the closing pressure of the Luuxian Sect and the Daofa Sect, it remained unknown whether they still had the capacity to spare forces to attack this location.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Tang Xinrou suddenly smiled as she walked toward Xie Tang, puffing out her cheeks and acting coquettishly.

"Mother, can we go back, please? Ning Meng is scared, and so is big brother." Ning Meng tugged at Madam Shen's sleeve and acted spoiled, feeling both sweet and guilty in her heart. The original host had never experienced maternal love, but now she was finally enjoying it.

Because he had previously testified for the Yuqing Sect to clear their suspicions, everyone felt grateful to him and did not blame him for talking too much, yet none of them actually believed what he said.

"Well said. I didn't expect Brother Xing to be so clever at a critical moment. I just wonder why Qinglan's May Fan proved to be completely useless?" Liuyun blinked her eyes.

All the buildings and castles there were forged from black ash and red magma, presenting a terrifying sight. Countless nether soldiers wandered about, and almost no one could ever walk out of the city alive, even if one somehow managed to get in.

"Really?" Lin Yun asked Chen Xu, her face lighting up with pleasant surprise. Of course she knew how to drive; she just never had the money to buy a car.

Suddenly, on the other side of the world, where the radiance appeared, an angry roar rang out. The roar was even louder than that of the Nether North Wolf, though it lacked a great deal of the ancient vicissitudes.

Although the crowd could not figure out what Lin Yong was up to, seeing him do it, they simply followed suit.

During the days before leaving the village, both Lin Feng and Lin Wei returned to their respective places of cultivation. Being people who cherished old ties, they naturally held deep affection for the places where they had lived alone for several years.

The moment the tower door opened, the surrounding heaven and earth vital energy poured madly into the Ten Directions Pagoda. Before Su Huang and the others could even stand firmly, they were sucked along with the energy into the tower.

Putting away the jade slip that recorded the map, Lin Liang stared at the several sets of Northern Realm human attire sent by Liu Quan'er, falling into a silent contemplation.

Just a moment ago, however, a divine light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes, because he had finally figured out the operational cycle of the chaotic formation—it lasted precisely ten days.

"Hmph! A congenital master can live for two hundred years, and eliminating anyone below the congenital realm is as easy as stepping on ants. Why can't it be called a realm? You, mere ant who hasn't even stepped into the congenital realm, actually dare to talk presumptuously about the congenital state?" Hearing Lin Fan hold the congenital state in such contempt, he immediately flew into a rage.

Yet this was enough to panic her. The Cheng family's influence was not something she could resist, and the young man who could be friends with Young Master Cheng naturally possessed an extraordinary background. If he truly wanted something, she certainly would not be able to stop him.

Because of the broken array platform, many people begged Liu Ge for mercy, but Liu Ge did not spare a single one, slaughtering them as easily as killing chickens.

Their hearts began to waver. If it weren't for the absolute composure of Mo Lingxuan hovering in the sky, they would have fled long ago. Yet they felt utterly unconfident because they simply could not fathom this young man and had no idea what his true capabilities were.
