Chapter Seventy-Six: Yunshuang's Decision (Part One)

Jiang Xiao had always been on good terms with Chief Steward Li of the Luo family, so while others were in the dark, he was well aware that Yun Shuang had indeed received that reward money. Jiang Xiao’s heart stirred slightly as he gazed at the woman before him and said, “I won’t.” After a pause, perhaps feeling his words were too cold, he added, “I won’t be troubled by it.” “That’s good,” Yun Shuang replied with a nod. “Thank you, General Jiang, for coming so late to check on these two children. Once—”

Those seas of flowers, carrying a fierce and imposing aura, struck terror into the heart of the Lord of Firelight. As if fleeing a flood, he hurriedly retreated, but the corpses beneath his feet were eventually overwhelmed by the riotous bloom. From that day on, I wandered with him throughout the Misty Forest, sitting atop sheer cliffs to watch the sunrise and sunset, counting the myriad stars in the gray-black night. Our footsteps nearly traversed every corner of the Misty Forest.

In an instant, everyone present except for sisters Lin Shang and Lin Yi widened their eyes in shock, including their own people from the Sect of Evil Spirits, such as Chen Jun and Wang You. He was used to rising early, so even though he had barely slept the night before, he still awoke punctually, albeit with a muddled head.

Dan Xuan spoke in words Mo Zitong could not understand, but she didn’t mind; after all, Dan Xuan always had a way of saying things that sounded reasonable yet remained cryptic to her. Hearing this, the arrogant youth in brocade robes was instantly deflated; even as the son of a duke, he was subdued before a mere earl.

Returning to the grand hall, a cultured gentleman was already waiting, bowing respectfully. This was his second visit in recent days, and the gifts he brought this time seemed even more valuable. Upon seeing Nangong Yanluo, the gentleman bowed even deeper.

Having embraced Yi Feng, Yi Yu heard Chen Beibei’s words and exchanged a startled glance with Ding Lan. The two elders were both shocked—so their son had been flirting outside, and in front of Murong Yanran no less! Seeing Yanran’s calm, they truly could not fathom the minds of the young generation, and for a moment, found themselves at a loss for words.

Leading the group was Grand Elder Feng Xiao of the Feng family, a man of mid-stage Earth Origin cultivation. Neither Li Yundong nor Ziyuan knew that Su Chan and Ao Wushuang’s ambitions went far beyond mere mischief.

At that moment, Qing He’s sleeve fluttered and a surge of sword energy shot forth, aimed straight at the Star Lord of Taiwei. To stem the flow, one must address the source; striking at the Star Lord was the only way to eliminate the danger at its root.

Madam Tong smiled as she conversed with her son; after listening for a while, Shuning joined in as well.

“We’ve already captured Wolf Demon’s companions. Even if we want to back down now, I’m afraid it’s too late!” Luo Ziqiang clutched his hair in frustration as he spoke.

At last, the blood-red light swirling around Pete ceased its rotation and, in a flurry, re-entered his body through the pores, finally merging into the blood-red crystal in his mind.

“What’s most important now is: where did you put your chest X-ray? Did you bring it with you?” I asked. Even if Yang Mei hadn’t, it didn’t matter—as long as she told me where it was, I could fetch it in an instant.

Terrifying roars erupted one after another. The Rhinoceros King, Elephant King, and Deer King’s eyes instantly turned crimson, black-purple veins spreading through their pupils, their blood vessels bulging, and their grotesque bodies flushed with a demonic red.

Wolf Demon fought desperately, slashing through the threads with his metallic claws—his metal powers a perfect foil to the golden silk.

Seeing Bai Suzhen’s rare shyness, Chu Xiong found it amusing but maintained a serious expression as he strolled over to the stone.

Wiping her tears and forcing herself to be calm, Christine introduced Kurt: “Sister, these are two of my good friends from China; this is Su Chan, and this is Ziyuan…” Then she introduced Kurt and her husband to Su Chan and Ziyuan.
