Chapter 44: Yuan Shen Returns to the Southwest from the Capital

Destiny Abode was the courtyard belonging to Jiang Wencheng and Jia Ruzhen. The name was chosen back when Jiang Wencheng finally succeeded in marrying Jia Ruzhen. In Old Madame Jiang's eyes, this was a joke, accompanied by a cold sneer on her lips, as she eagerly awaited the downfall of that wicked daughter-in-law.
The moment the woman returned, she received a reward from the Empress. Yet, after being in the family for several years, Old Madame Jiang had not even laid eyes on the Empress. This slap in the face was loud indeed.
As for herself, an old woman like her, what could she possibly manage?
She could manage nothing at all. Her son's soul had been bewitched by a siren, and she—
"How could that be, Brother Yusheng? I am very happy, because it seems I like you too," Luoluo tilted her head and said to Gu Yusheng with a seemingly troubled expression.
Li Na sat on the carpet in front of the fireplace. The fire in the hearth was burning brightly, and it felt warm and cozy without the slightest chill.
Blood seeped from my eyes, and consumed by burning fury, I rushed over to take a close look, only to see several classmates bullying Ruochu, who was sitting pitifully on the ground.
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's beaming expression of undisguised joy, Lu Bing felt a twinge of jealousy, yet he also understood that his standing in Emperor Jiajing's heart still could not compare to Xu Jin's.
They only knew that they belonged to a certain foreign affairs department, and throughout the entire meeting, the members of the Super Management Division Nine never even showed their faces.
Ye Che felt a stir in his heart as well. Glancing at the monster box that had only half its health remaining after his attacks, he immediately pushed the thought aside. After all, his teammates were about to initiate a team fight, and being short-handed in a level 1, five-versus-five skirmish would likely result in getting utterly crushed and humiliated.
Although everyone already knew the appearances of the two masked singers in advance, seeing them with their own eyes was entirely different from looking at photographs.
The Green Ox Erli snorted two streams of white Qi from its nose and stalked off to the side in a huff. Anyway, these people's intention was simply to escort him into the desolate mountain mystic realm to fulfill their mission, so whether he understood the situation of Ying Shan or not made very little difference.
"Fourth Elder, protect them and retreat first. I'll stay behind to cover our rear!" Not only did Gao Fei refuse to run, but his words utterly stunned Jilin Dong.
"Yes, Father." Lin Qing'er accepted joyfully, and from afar, she wrinkled her cute nose in response to the smiling gaze of Musu.
He was the second disciple beneath the Patriarch, and the deceased sect master Qianlin was his junior brother. At this moment within the great hall, apart from the Patriarch, his seniority was the highest, and his prestige throughout the entire Wuji Sect was immense. The moment he spoke, everyone immediately nodded in agreement.
In fact, today Ou Zhexi accompanied Leng Xi for dinner out of sheer helplessness. After quarreling with Lan Moying, he had returned to the company because an important project was waiting for his approval. Today was Leng Xi's birthday, and just like Ling Zihan, he had sent a gift over.
"Sister, during our outing this time, we found the bandits who murdered your entire family!" The eldest brother said, wearing a deeply aggrieved and sorrowful expression.
Seeing the opponent's speed slow down noticeably, Chu Yu a trace of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. With a flash of his figure, he charged straight toward Caron. If you won't come over, then I'll come over instead, won't that do?
"Especially what?" Ning Xiaofei's curiosity was piqued. His eyebrows twitched involuntarily as he stared doubtfully at Yiyi.
The rest of the Qin soldiers, upon seeing the two of them running out carrying the straw mat, angrily slapped their foreheads amidst a chorus of jeers.
"Guard it. Later on, I'll hand the position of chairperson over to you. Take good care of Moshang." Having said that, Zhunsun Momomo went offline.
"Look! What is that!" Song Tao, possessing sharp eyes, discovered a trace of red light emanating from the very center of the pool. A continuous stream of primordial fire Qi was radiating from it, being sucked directly into the giant silkworm cocoon hovering above.
After a long silence, seeing that none of the cultivators stepped forward to make a bid, the auctioneer Liu He felt somewhat awkward and called out once more, his voice filled with boundless magic and temptation.
Seeing so many people below the stage staring at her, Xinrou suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.
Watching the distance between Xuanyuan Yeyan and the Six Daoists rapidly close to less than three meters, the arrogant youth's expression changed drastically, scared out of his wits. Without even thinking, he rushed in front of Xuanyuan Yeyan, grabbed her hand, and pulled her aside.
