Volume 1 Chapter 27: Pet Incubation

Huangquan and Biluo had known that Jiang Yan was returning today, so they had been waiting at the entrance. Seeing Jiang Yan speak in such a manner, they immediately fell in behind Yin Baishuang, one on each side, appearing as though they were determined to accompany her regardless of her wishes.

The collision of the two forces did not produce a massive shockwave; the barrier acted like a boulder in a river, splitting the oncoming sound waves in two.

However, the stakes were critical this time. The insurgents had dared to infiltrate the palace and attempt an assassination; no one knew what they would do next or just how reckless they might become.

As Ren Yi traveled, he noticed an increasing number of followers wearing yellow turbans, leading him to suspect that his Fifth Grandmaster was on the verge of making a move.

Luo Yunxi spoke with some hesitation. These were merely her conjectures, yet the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was amiss.

The Fifth Elder had always demanded fairness and righteousness of himself. Yet now, these sordid thoughts surfacing in his mind were not being suppressed, but were instead growing more intense. He looked at Yu Shuangshuang’s profile, at that perfect curve, and thought: if she must be destroyed, then let it be by my own hand.

Hejian frowned, feeling that this lady was somewhat different from the rumors, and could not help but speak up.

In everyone’s impression, Jiang Yan and Yin Yudang were merely bickering or having a lovers' quarrel; they assumed that in the end, Jiang Yan would still return to Chang’an with Yin Yudang.

Upon hearing this youth insult their leader, everyone from Huang Zhong down to the local militiamen glared with wide, furious eyes.

Meanwhile, many others, including the cohorts of the Zhongshan Sect watching from the sidelines and various lackeys and henchmen, could not help but feel a surge of "righteous indignation."

"You may not know us, but we have been watching you for a long time. We know of your deeds. We are very curious about you, especially how you cured Huang Zhiqiang of his ALS; it gave us a glimmer of hope," Qidiao Xiuying said.

The two guardians clasped their hands together, closed their eyes, and channeled their energy. Layers of light emanated from their heads, forming a curtain to block the biting killing intent of the gilded staff descending upon them.

"How would I know? Isn't it simple? Because I am also a Digimon Tamer." Turning to face Matsuda Takato, Ling Xiao beckoned to the wooden sign beside him, and Agumon cleverly ran out. In such a situation, even the dimmest person would have understood.

In the days that followed, Qing’e intensified her training under her mother’s guidance. Whether it was due to the power of the bracelet or her own diligent practice, Qing’e felt that her energy had increased significantly. She often showcased her growing progress before her mother, hoping to ease the gloom on her face.

Watching the happiness overflowing in her eyes, I felt a weight lift from my heart. I kissed the back of her hand and placed the ring on her finger.

Before Mei’er could react, she was dragged by the Underworld Emperor into the clouds. Furious, she shook her arm vigorously, trying to break free from his grasp, but the Emperor’s grip was too strong. She had no choice but to stumble along behind him. With a flash of movement, the Emperor was already out of the Underworld Palace.

When did Tianya find such a boyfriend? She had no idea! Should she be happy or angry? But why did this man look so... dissipated?

Watching this pair of master performers acting before my eyes—Cheng Lina could act, and Chu Yi could act as well; they were truly a perfect match.

But when he pushed open the gates of the Qinse Palace early in the morning, hungover and intending to send her out of the Celestial Palace to put an end to it all once and for all, he saw Mei’er lying unconscious on the floor, her face stained with blood.

I can swear on my life to the heavens that the so-called engagement was merely a step in a plan. Both families met, and I secured the shares. However, I never agreed to hold an official engagement ceremony, simply because I did not want to break her heart.

"Sir, let me introduce you. This is my old friend, Murong Di!" Nangong Tian said, pointing to the old man.

Before Zhou Qingshuang could reply, a gale suddenly rose, swirling with a sky full of snow. Snow tumbled down in drifts from the outer walls of the courtyard. The two quickly ran to the center of the alley to avoid the snow crashing down from the eaves.

"You’re new to Chang’an, so you wouldn't know, but Lady Ming is a regular at the Xinglu Court, haha," the man said with a suggestive wink.

"Me? How could that be?" Mo Linghuan looked at Oh Se-hun in surprise, but then, thinking that he was just trying to comfort her, her mood plummeted, and she began to cry even harder.

After Fan Yanyan finished speaking, the courtroom fell into a long period of discussion. The judge did not rush to strike his gavel to maintain order, but instead fell into deep thought. Fan Yanyan looked at Xueqi’s father; the look in his eyes held no blame, but rather affirmation, which put him at ease.

The bartender tossed aside the drinks, happily took the bracelet, wiped it a few times, and satisfied, returned to the kitchen.

Fan Yanyan fell silent. Although he loathed Fiddlesticks and Xiahou, he had never intended for them to die... Yet now, due to his own lack of knowledge about the hallucinogen, he had caused their impending deaths. His heart felt heavy and unsettled.

"I just arrived from the south and happened upon this heavy snow. I'm quite lucky," Zhou Qingshuang said with a smile, not knowing where to begin.

"Princess of the Western Regions, you are now a consort of my Southern Capital. Surely you have heard the saying, 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'?" Shen Mingle interjected.

After the second half of the story concluded, the ending for Old Man Wuyu was not to die as a dark hero, but to provide as much of a happy ending as possible.

"That was in the past. Now the Hongnong Immortal Realm has changed hands and become the Ancient Dao Alliance. The Hongnong Palace has been completely wiped out," the young man said, showing no fear.

Qin Hao hit upon a good idea. He retracted the Heaven-Burning Furnace and pinched an obscure incantation in his hand. The furnace instantly expanded in the wind, and raging flames poured out, attacking the Frost Giant fiercely.

"Don't try these fox-demon tricks on me. Since you two are obsessed and won't repent, don't blame me for being heartless," Yuanzhang said coldly. With that, he drew his sword and slashed at the fox demon.

At that time, An Yutong could not find work while carrying the child, and Mu Yichen was making things difficult for her everywhere.

Just as the onlookers began to disperse, the two most vociferous hecklers tried to sneak away, only to be stopped by Le Tian.

"No, I refuse to share in your happiness. You must achieve your own happiness yourself," Mo Jiaoqing said, looking at Lou Qianjin and shaking her head earnestly.

Hongdou was poked on the head by An Yutong and swayed, eventually resting her head on An Yutong’s shoulder.
