Chapter 143: Birthday Gift

After crying, Tian Meixue could only be thankful that the thief hadn’t taken the family’s grain and meat, and that the winter supplies she had prepared were still intact.

In truth, Chen Li had considered taking the grain as well, but he was powerless to do so. Since he had climbed over the wall to get in, if he were caught moving grain, he would have to return the money he had already gotten, and might even face forced labor. He knew how to weigh things; with the money he had, a little grain was nothing.

Besides, if he left Tian Meixue no way out, she might become desperate and risk everything, resulting in mutual destruction.

At this moment, Qin Luoyang carefully examined the middle-aged man lying on the bed, his brow involuntarily furrowing.

Among the Li family’s sisters, the eldest, Li Qinghua, was born of the late Concubine Wang; the third, Li Qinglian, and the sixth, Li Qingzhen, were born of Lady Li; while Li Qingwan and the fifth, Li Qingyun, shared the same mother, Lady Xiao, making them full sisters. Naturally, their bond was closer than the others.

Of course, he hadn’t come away empty-handed. After recovering from his injury, he had unknowingly reached the sixth level of the Ultimate Realm in cultivation, doubling his strength and making his aura more steady.

Seizing the moment, the Black Feather Demon Eagle dashed swiftly, evading the spiritual power orb and soaring through the air.

A punch bursting with limitless explosive power—the secret realm of the physical body opened, and a unique personal dharma form activated, multiplying his strength several times, piercing right through his entire palm.

Xiao Ziqiu took off the white wedding dress she wore and looked at Huo Zhenting lying shirtless on the bed.

Lin Chuan was greatly impressed by Xuanli’s ability to shape his spiritual consciousness. Today was truly an eye-opener for him. His own cultivation level had been low all along, and his master never pushed him beyond his limits, so he had never been taught the wonders of spiritual consciousness. Seeing Xuanli’s manifestation of spirit ignited a passionate interest in him.

“No, it’s impossible. General Zong values my talent and wants to recruit me. Don’t speak nonsense,” the second-in-command stubbornly protested.

Not to mention, he was drunk… or perhaps drugged, his cheeks flushed red, eyes half-closed, those deep, watery black pupils shimmering with a captivating haze. His clean, jet-black short hair lazily fell over his forehead.

Mu Xiao recounted the long-forgotten tales of history as if he had personally experienced them, a trace of melancholy on his face.

The Dragon Shuo Spirit Cultivation Academy’s tournament was not merely an event for the academy but a grand occasion for Dragon City and a feast for the vast continent.

However, Da Mi was not by her side now, and she had no idea where Da Mi usually kept his scales.

“Die, Demon King!” Leng Yan coldly stared at the Demon King who was losing control of the dark power he sought to command.

“I…” Luo Tianqing struggled to open her eyes. She felt a sharp pain in her head, some force pressing to break free, leaving her dazed and helpless as the power in her mind ran rampant.

“Let’s go, see what she’s up to again.” She grabbed Dongfang Yu’s hand and headed toward the courtyard gate.

Before sleeping, Wei Changying had checked on her son. Now, seeing he was not in the room, she anxiously asked around.

The entire void trembled as if unable to withstand the collision of the two’s auras, crackling with continuous sounds like the relentless tide.

Not to mention, after taking the medicine given by Zhan Kuang, Xuan Junyao felt his spirit restored, no longer weak and sickly.

After such a long time without a good rest, Luo Tianqing felt refreshed all over. Xue Qiao, lying on her chest, had already opened her eyes, showing a hint of conflict. But knowing she couldn’t speak yet, she reluctantly decided not to reveal her presence to her master for now.

“Yu Yuan, Qing Wan, you two go downstairs first.” The young man in yellow robes took a deep breath and then turned to the two beauties beside him.
