Volume One, Chapter 94: Remember to Call Her Madam When You Meet

Chu Xiao nodded, then crouched down beside Santiago, gazing with him at the still water beneath the stone tablet.

When he arrived at the noodle stall, he greeted the owner with practiced familiarity. Before ordering, he deliberately sought Yuan Wanying’s opinion, and when she requested a large bowl, he didn’t show the slightest trace of surprise.

As time passed, the place gradually quieted. Yet, two powerful auras dominated the area—one fluctuating and growing steadily stronger, the other vast and imposing. Even an eighth-rank Mystic Lord would feel immense pressure from the latter.

“Orders from the battlefield—shut down the light mirror! Everyone, return to your duties and resume your posts!” After speaking, the soldier strode toward the console beneath the light mirror.

“No matter how strong your defenses are, your speed still can’t compare to mine. If I truly want to leave, you won’t be able to stop me.” At this moment, Bai Ziyu was convinced that his speed thoroughly outclassed Yi Xuan’s. Just as he declared, if he wished to leave, Yi Xuan could not hinder him.

The crucial thing was that you had to do this thankless job while encased in machinery, all the while watched from every direction by surveillance cameras.

Adaya, unexpectedly, tossed the pulp from the juiced fruit into her own mouth, chewing carefully before swallowing.

When he declared, “I have a dream,” those sitting nearer could see a fervent light blazing in Shen Lang’s eyes—a fire-like radiance, impossible to describe.

“Open the canister! Check inside!” Huang Mie also sensed something amiss and immediately strode forward to investigate.

Qin Chaolu looked up, her terrified eyes darting restlessly toward him, sweat streaming down her brow.

The bouquet soared through the air. Leaping up, I caught the white rose—symbol of the next happiness—in my hand.

To be honest, at this moment, both Su Maixia and Su Maiqiu deeply admired Mai Zi. After all that had happened, she could still remain so composed.

As for the tendons in her leg and left hand, she would nourish them with spiritual energy after purging the impurities from her body.

In both her past and present lives, Mai Zi had been through much. Now a thought occurred to her—she might be pregnant.

The mangy dog raised its eyelids to glance at him, thinking to itself, If you’d done this sooner, I wouldn’t have been lifted and dangled for several minutes, my paw aching from being grabbed.

Hualian watched all this, secretly yearning for the day she might carry herself with such presence.

Fortunately, every household received their share of meat and was celebrating joyously, so for the moment, no one noticed anything amiss.

Upon observing the change in Hualian, Yun Qi’s expression shifted dramatically. Surprise flashed in his eyes as he stepped forward, instantly appearing by Hualian’s side.

Ever since the eccentric Thirteenth Lady entered the picture, she had a knack for making herself the center of attention, often unconsciously launching into naïve yet relentless tirades, turning every situation into her own personal battlefield.

Feng Jue turned to her with a reassuring smile, “Don’t be nervous. I’ll be by your side all day.” That simple sentence calmed Gu Changqing considerably.

He would not give up on Feng Qingqing just because his elder brother liked her—never.

After leaving the pool, Feng Qingqing used the Sacred Nether Lotus Flame to dry both her own and Long Zhantian’s clothes.

“Gentlemen, why not come in and stay a while?” Cold Moon Phoenix grew more alluring, coquettishly unbuttoning her clothes through the crack in the door for the two outside.

Mo Yi watched as a skeleton emerged from the black mist. Startled, he quickly raised his thin sword defensively and asked a trembling question.

She fell silent, sitting dazed as if in meditation. Seeing her like this, Baili Xiang could only sigh.

She had hung upside down from the rooftop for nearly five hours, witnessing the performance inside with her own eyes, and then watched as Ha Shicheng drove Gongsun Hu away.

Listening to his analysis, Hua Xinjing resolved never to offend someone like that. Damn, that plan really left a strange discomfort in her heart.

Ouyang Xi delivered her to the rally venue, found a secluded spot for her to settle in, and then slipped out. Yue Fei was secretly relieved he hadn’t sat next to her, sparing her further scrutiny.

Watching Ren Yunteng’s back as he walked ahead, Yu Yue suddenly felt he seemed taller somehow. All the unreliable behaviors Ren had displayed recently were wiped away by this moment.

Long accustomed to Mo Fan’s aloofness, I said nothing, uncorked a jade-green bottle, shook out a luminous pill, and quickly placed it in Hao Xiangdong’s mouth. Seeing he didn’t swallow, I bent down and gave him a breath, finally relaxing when the pill went down.

That girl—when I first met her, she seemed so calm that I thought her fearless. Yet, after she became familiar with me, she grew even more shy and flustered.

“But I only practice the Power of the Mind! If I suppress my presence, there’s no way to gauge the strength of my psychic force,” Huan Ye blinked up at Hero Yan Wang.

Zhao Gao’s actions had already violated the rules of the martial contest. As a high-ranking member of the Zhao family, he had no right to interfere. Ling Hao might be an outsider, but he’d been invited by Tang Yayun, which was within the rules.

Ahead, the mountains shimmered with the brilliance of gems, as if washed in a rain of colored light. Withered forests suddenly burst into life, donning cloaks of emerald green.

Hearing this, Xiyue Jincheng first arched a brow at her, then snorted dismissively.
