Chapter 55: Mulberry and Elm

Fang Xiaofeng had a lingering sense of familiarity about the girl's voice, so he took off running in that direction.

Su Qiao exchanged a glance with her father and quickly followed, while Fang Xiaoying supported her grandmother as they chased after them from behind.

By the time Su Qiao drew close, she saw several people tugging at a young woman. The girl's braided hair had come undone, and her clothes were torn into a disarray.

Her face was deathly pale and she was terrified out of her wits, yet she still tightly clutched the little boy in her arms.

To Ling Ling, such affectionate words sounded like complaints between lovers, making her even more certain of the relationship between Kong Qingyi and Kong Yanxi.

In the moonlight, that face favored by the gods was tinged with an indescribable allure, with a sensual charm overflowing from her very bones.

Deep within the imperial palace, His Majesty the Emperor had already received word, learning the general situation as well as the fact that the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was already making a grand and imposing way toward him at this very moment.

The background of this nanny was somewhat suspicious. If they were to simply hand the child over to her, what would happen if she turned out to be a bad person?

Those strong men who had received rewards followed suit, each setting aside half of their tea and presenting it to their brothers sitting further back. For a time, the grand Kirin Hall became extraordinarily lively.

Barring any unexpected turns, leaving the ancient battlefield would still offer no tranquility; if anything, the killings were likely to multiply. It was impossible to know what kind of situation things would eventually evolve into.

Who would have thought that Zhang Ruyun was truly tight-lipped? Right then and there, he declared, "There is no need to ever bring up such matters again. In short, I will never commit such a beastly act; I made up my mind about that long ago and clear as day!" As he spoke, a bright light flashed in his eyes, instantly shaking off the slump that had previously weighed him down.

As soon as these words left his mouth, Qi Jia opposite him turned deathly pale, and in his shock, he violently took a step back.

As for any methods concerning the soul, Lu Qiao simply stood there in a daze without moving a muscle, her eyes filled with boundless bewilderment.

Indeed, Wang Qiao only recognized Chanel as a major luxury brand, and had never once considered whether it actually suited her.

The moment I saw the expression on Ye Xin's face, I knew she couldn't hear the countdown for the China Heart. What should I do?

However, the True Fire Wine provided by the Azure Star was of the absolute finest quality. Many other taverns that attempted to imitate True Fire Wine only dared to label it as mere "fire wine" or "distilled liquor," falling far short of the Azure Star's signature treasury wine in flavor.

Cooperating with the Wolf Head was no different than plotting with a tiger for its skin. Once the Wolf Head harbored treacherous intentions, the consequences would be too dreadful to contemplate.

In a corner of the lobby stood several human-height green plants, enclosing a space that vaguely revealed a black leather sofa.

The cross-legged Wudi's eyelids twitched slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes with a smile pulling at the corner of his mouth: "Let's hope it's good news!" He stood up and walked out of the room.

Although our relationship with Mashu is a sham, the fact that we are classmates is beyond doubt, and we are also partners in the same club.

The earth was wrapped in utter silence. With the fierce battle suddenly reaching its outcome, everyone felt dumbfounded, unable to accept it for a moment.

"Clap, clap." A tremendous sound of wind arose from the edge of the horizon—it was a phoenix so dazzlingly bright that one could hardly bear to look at it directly. This phoenix was immense in size, its wings stretching out thousands of feet wide when unfurled. Such a creature could never grow this large in the postnatal world; it was clearly a primordial being from before the creation of the heavens and earth.

The golden cass袈裟 was a supreme defensive treasure of the Buddhist sect. When Fahai and Ao Lie exchanged a single blow, Fahai actually gained the upper hand.

In this way, even if Satan were to inquire about it afterward, there would be no reason to make things difficult for the demon kings who had taken action.

Yet facing the rain of arrows—and within that rain, the armor-piercing arrows—Doom Escapade, sprawled out spread-eagled on the bluestone pavement, truly found himself completely helpless for the moment.

Under the Great Tang Empire, the regulations regarding travel permits and similar documents for practitioners were actually extremely lax, especially for disciples of the seven sacred grounds, who moved about entirely unhindered.

The two flying swords he had previously used to execute Zhang Yitian were still forcibly pinned in place by his opponent up to this moment.
