Chapter 31

Zhan Changhe, whose aura was not deliberately concealed, was actually a Golden Core cultivator, yet he was mistaken for Zhan Tianfan's friend. "Look, Mr. Hua, Sister Cai is pitiful; she's going through a divorce with her husband now. Since you've bought the house, she still needs to stay for a while. Is that okay?" Huang Li pressed, her curiosity piqued. "The hell I will! I want a divorce, but she refuses and even ran out! I can't get a divorce now!" Gen Sao blurted out angrily. "Don't you think our emperor should reward us with these bandits?" Tokugawa Ieyasu shamelessly suggested. Gu Feng had once ascended after enduring ten celestial tribulations, each more ferocious than the last, making him acutely sensitive to heavenly calamities. Eje had expected Lin Danhan to send him, but halfway through, Lin Danhan changed his mind, leaving Eje's feet awkwardly suspended in mid-air, while Abunai was equally stunned, having assumed it was Eje's task. Lin Feng's expression turned increasingly perplexed, sensing a colossal secret hidden within these events. Inside the cockpit, flight attendants teased Li Feifei, their laughter ringing out. "Let me join you guys to check it out," Zhou Li said, sensing that Hua Xin's intention to buy her clothes had nothing to do with Hua Ming's previous suicide attempt. In the distance, the thirty-foot-tall walls of Bishu City erupted like fleas, soaring high before crashing down in ruins. The crocodile tribe was stunned—their plan was about to succeed, so why had their chieftain been captured? "Alright, let the Empress choose for herself!" Li Guifei said with a smile, though she seethed inwardly. Her son was no less capable than the crown prince, yet the Ming Sheng Emperor only had eyes for the crown prince. Now of marriageable age, only the crown prince had a consort chosen for him. In her eyes, her husband was the most outstanding man in the world—successful, young, and influential in Hongzhou. Even monks and Taoist priests would change their demeanor upon hearing his name, bestowing great face to Wen Jun. If Fang Tong was like a slender gibbon, then Sun He alone could match three of him. Though round-faced with a double chin, Sun He was surprisingly agile in combat. He rolled to his feet and snatched Pei Xueqi's weapon back. Seeing He Xiao's tragic death, Pei Xueqi was filled with hatred but dared not face this enemy. When the Prince of Kui rose to pursue, he had no choice but to turn his horse around to evade. He struggled in vain, forced to use his other hand to pull his own trapped limb. This secret technique, like a faint glimmer in the dark, invisibly connected its users. Ji Mingshan initially nodded in agreement but then recoiled as if struck by hysteria. Many influencers, critics, and writers had cast their soothsaying spells, speculating that a large number of people must have been promoted or advanced, causing the ranking list to update so slowly. As Qi Tianyi's figure flickered, Dai Tianen swiftly sent his left palm toward him, cutting off Qi Tianyi's retreat and striking him on the left shoulder. The widow had been alone for years, busy with life and accompanied by Xia Feng, not feeling the void. Now, with her life more comfortable and Xia Feng gone, she felt an overwhelming emptiness and loneliness. Qi Guanwan reluctantly opened the door, glancing back at her sleeping pets with a heartache that came in waves. Song Shiqiu felt at peace today; having given it his all in the final exam, he had nothing left to regret, even losing some of the awkwardness he once felt toward Cheng Ran. To his surprise, Mo's attendant had survived unscathed, having already（followed）his orders to wait with the carriage outside the city gates. The official report was initiated by Elder Liao, who had wanted to organize a procession to present a "Rainbow Umbrella" to the people. Xia Feng had dissuaded him, fearing it would incite the masses. "Wait, take this with you," Yang Hao said, tossing the Giant of Gugu's bloodline over, which Dafeng caught and ran off with without a second glance. Qi Guanwan paused, then led Xu Jing to the table, intending to show him the items directly rather than awkwardly explaining them herself. But just as Yang Hao pondered the mechanism's location, a（rumbling）noise came from the tunnel. Dozens of beams of light suddenly appeared before Ah Li, who, despite anticipating the sight, still paled. The leader glanced at his seven subordinates, who nodded in unison. They had agreed that any killing would wait until the Sky Devouring Fox's faction was settled, as nothing was ever gained without a price. With no further doubts, the leader feared Qing Xiao succeeding and hurried off toward Qing Xiao's location, ostensibly to assist but with ulterior motives.
