Chapter 49: Chaotic Desires
The Taoist with a rough, pockmarked face was urgently stripping off his robe. Hearing Xu Xuan’s shout, he was instantly startled and disoriented, hastily putting on his clothes, gripping his long sword, and rushing out.
“This part at the back is still manageable, with only three breaks. The largest is at Omsk. According to Zhan Tianyou, these three breaks aren’t major issues. With the right tools, materials, and skilled workers, repairs could be completed in about half a month.”
Winston swung his sword in a single stroke, the explosion of fiery sparks instantly burning the writhing vines to charcoal. Cervantes’s body was scorched, and Winston’s long sword was deeply embedded in his forehead, nearly cleaving his head in two. Cervantes froze abruptly before collapsing weakly.
There’s no need to mention the previous assistance to Zhou Tian. Now, unaware of his new crisis, the Lady of the Blood Moon hastily sent him a warning message.
Each of them possessed at least the power of a Martial Ancestor, if not greater. Moreover, in the vast ocean, which was their domain, they were even more formidable. The five—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—each with the strength of generals, had managed to kill a deep-sea flood dragon shark, proving their exceptional prowess.
The door to the office creaked open. The noise in the corridor instantly ceased, and everyone turned to look inside.
At eleven o’clock, the plane landed. Wu Di asked Doraemon and Sparrow to take the items back to the courtyard first, then called Meng Yao to arrange lunch, before hailing a taxi straight to the East Third Ring Road.
Wu Di nodded. Before eating, he noticed that Old Yang, who had seemed quite spirited earlier, was now a bit drowsy. Yet his master appeared even more alert. What could be the cause?
Under the gaze of these men, Dong Zhuo’s soldiers felt a chill run through their bodies and their scalps tingle, but constrained by strict military orders, they gritted their teeth and moved forward to encircle the training ground.
Chief Gale shook his head. The inhabitants of Wild Willow City were all elves; spies could not infiltrate there at all.
With the doctor present, this was a private matter, and Lin Jiajia naturally could not dispute those words.
After speaking, I took the mighty sword from Li Yang’s hand and reached toward the back of the coffin.

But even with inner strength resisting, every breath felt like swallowing flames, and it took great effort to suppress the burning sensation.
I instructed several pallbearers to place the coffin into the grave, then took a chalk line to adjust its orientation. Feng shui hinges on proper alignment; the coffin’s central axis must be precise, or even a perfect burial spot would be useless.
Tang Xiao locked eyes with me for several seconds before suddenly lowering his head and pressing a kiss to my forehead.
The day when that stretch of the time river would vanish drew ever closer. Chu He himself grew increasingly silent, his mind plagued by strange sensations that intensified with time.
I wondered if there would be any zongzi left in Rong City now. We should return. I discussed with my senior brother, and Liao Fan had no objections—he just wanted to be with me.
Standing aside, Xiao Chen finally lost patience. Using the power of the Yellow Springs, amidst the roaring waves, the Eight Directions Seal shattered simultaneously.
I quickly climbed into the car, where the heater was on high. The frozen soles of my feet finally felt some warmth.
She had informed Wan Qi Longxi that they would handle it, but her own matters kept delaying the process.
It wasn’t as if she were directly called a mistress—what kind of mistress was Ji Wanrong anyway? Wei Chenfeng was certainly not a servant of the Prince’s estate.
“Brother Nan, should we just take him out?” Liu Yidao’s face was stern as his right hand touched the willow-leaf blade at his waist, but he didn’t wait for Ju Nan’s reply.
Though incomplete, the formation was quite ingenious and worth recording for future reference.
Everyone present knew that Yu Silan had seized the Qi family’s power through despicable means, but no one spoke of it openly, out of courtesy.

Since death was inevitable, he believed that if he were to die, it should be in a spectacular fashion, contributing something to the realm.
He had long thought that Bai Jinxi’s constant mention of Sister Yan was about his beloved, but now it seemed not what he imagined. Yet if so, surely there was something about that couple that drew Jinxi’s affection.
The youth refused to relent. In a flash, he caught up with the fleeing Flame Red Wolf, grabbed its tail, and swung it around wildly like a sandbag, smashing it ferociously against the ground.
Uncle Ming came to pick up An Yixia. Upon his arrival, General Xie trembled so much he could barely speak.
Yet he secretly enjoyed seeing his subordinates act like fools; it made his own intelligence appear superior.
An Yixia gently cupped An Xinran’s face, staring into her eyes and giving careful, measured instructions and comfort, finally calming her within a short time.
Ye Ge bit her lip lightly, her expression transforming, her eyes trembling as the elegant and noble demeanor slipped away.
The interior decoration was exquisitely luxurious. Tang Youyou knew this car was definitely not cheap.
It meant her very presence could instill a sense of crisis in Lin Yixun, prompting him to seek her out for reassurance.
Early in the morning, Ji Yuezhe had already put Bai Yiyan through a rigorous ordeal, further confirming his determination to get engaged. So, without regard for timing, he called his elder brother first thing.
