Chapter 246: One Woman Extends Three Generations—Though She Departs, Her Soul Remains

White thin mist lightly drifted above Hidden Dragon Stronghold, like a soft gauze curtain, isolating the stronghold from the outside world.

Under the big tree outside Hidden Dragon Stronghold, Su Qing and his three companions said goodbye to Kongque.

"Alright, Kongque, seeing off a friend for a thousand miles still ends in parting—hurry back!" Wang Pangzi's words were full of regret; although he had known Kongque only briefly, the other's innocence and liveliness made his heart soften, and he regarded her completely as his own sister.

Finally, the two of them stood in front of a beautifully decorated villa that covered a huge area.

Just then, that ghost‑like Dao aura shot in through the window again, heading straight for the Dao talisman on the white porcelain jar.

"Speak up—what do you want? Are you after Hao Guang's person, or after his wages?" La Mei's cousin got straight to the point.

After originally coming from India, Luo Zhuoying and Du Yuming were both driven out by the Americans; Dai Anlan returned home to recuperate, while Sun Li‑jen was far away in Dhaka, where he had built a splendid opportunity to establish an independent kingdom—why send someone now? It would surely hinder my next phase of command.

Lao Zhou thought that leaving immediately was the best plan; anyway, he had already shaken off Sun Li‑jen, so what did it matter how the British acted? He harbored this idea because he still didn't know Master's full ambition.

You can't even play the piano, yet you're gambling with others—isn't that just sticking your face out for them to slap?

When he saw the skull and Dao robe at the cave entrance, he involuntarily shuddered, tears welling up as he walked forward, silently gazing at the broken magical implements.

With a sudden shout, as the four Dao talismans around him burned, the mighty heaven‑and‑earth qi surged forth, instantly gathering around the flowerbed and wrapping it layer by layer.

The matter was so thorny that it couldn't be delayed at all; otherwise he really would have wanted to accompany Su Tong upstairs.

He never imagined that the seemingly ordinary boy before him was actually the world‑renowned Sword Emperor.

Immediately, he tore off the ripped cuffs, threw them on the ground, and discarded them without a second glance.

"What I'm thinking about isn't limited to this necklace either." Qiao Ziheng first supported her, then Qiao Meijin sat down in the chair.

Yan Naonao held a slip of paper, looking at the handwriting; her brows furrowed slightly, as if she were thinking about something.

Chengtian had just wanted to mock her with a couple of remarks when he caught a glimpse of Bai Fei seemingly giving him a look; the words on his lips turned aside and changed.

Lin Xiao knew the middle‑aged man was the chairman of Film and Television City, his status and position high; yet his attitude toward that young man made her feel he was anything but ordinary.

"You've heard Yuan Wan'e's harsh words too. It must have been done by her people." Zhen Caiyu took over, and the maid holding the jar picked a plum to eat.

Nobody gets familiar overnight; even childhood sweethearts have a first meeting.

In her fright, Ning Lan'er exerted extraordinary strength, shoving the fatty so hard he fell flat on his butt.

Just like when she first arrived, so shy she dared not speak to him but kept glancing his way, he truly didn't know why he had agreed to the former Main God's request to adopt her.

This was something he never expected. Just before he passed out, he had been thinking that if he had known earlier, perhaps he wouldn't have come today, needlessly worrying his fellow martial siblings.

Upon returning to the Jinshi Sect, Ah Huang suddenly sensed that a major figure of the Aperture‑Opening Stage had appeared; he knew something bad was bound to happen. As soon as he entered the sect gates, he summoned all those responsible for guarding, urging them to fulfill their duties, protect the sect, maintain order, stay out of forbidden places, and threatening that violators would be killed without mercy.

Although the dragon soul is powerful, after all it is merely a soul; deprived of bodily protection, its strength is clearly insufficient to guard itself.
