Chapter 663: The Tree Craves Calm but the Wind Will Not Subside

In the pitch-black night, heavy snow drifted — the first snow of the new year, foretelling a good harvest for the year ahead.

That is, if the farmers had the time to tend their fields, it probably would be so.

Inside the Bianzhou palace, lanterns and colored streamers were hung; many craftsmen brought in from outside the palace were making preparations for the Lantern Festival.

Viewing flower lanterns during the Lantern Festival was a cherished tradition of the Great Tang. Now that the Bianzhou court was thriving, though the Son of Heaven Li Lin had no money, the court itself was still very wealthy. In order to

"Second Uncle is the most even-tempered — he'd never get angry, right, Second Uncle?" Helan Ping rolled her eyes and said to me in a sweet, cloying voice.

Long Yang saw this scene, his face extremely ugly to behold. He dashed forward with the Nine Heavens Wandering Dragon Steps, but there was still some distance between them.

"I would actually be quite happy to witness the methods you rarely show, Immortal Lord Houyang," Jing Yan said in a flat voice.

"Just something I wrote idly when I was bored, hehe." What did the Cheng family girl mean today? Just now she was like that, and now why was she constantly praising me?

"Your Majesty! It's His Majesty, good heavens!" Yang Wanchun couldn't help but cry out in alarm. The moment he let out this exclamation, a deputy envoy beside him who had been about to speak immediately turned ashen. Since even the deputy envoy was shouting this, even if he tried to argue it was fake, it was already too late.

"Rest assured. Since I dared to come back, I fear nothing. I will destroy the Seven Xuanwu Mansions and the Bloodthirsty Holy Cult with my own hands," Long Yang said viciously.

And so, Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi joining forces to attack Zhao Kuo became a mandatory daily practice item. Zhao Yanzi was unwilling to accept that her Third Uncle treated her so badly, and was single-mindedly determined to defeat him, while Hao Ren wanted to test the changes in his own strength. In truth, the daily sparring also greatly improved his mastery of the Light-Splitting Sword Shadow Art.

At this moment, Long Yang swept his sword across, and the three Lin brothers fell to the ground in response, each with a gash slit open on their necks — a terrifying sight, blood flowing freely.

The moment they saw these two men, Li Feng and Qiao Dayuan paused in unison, both pairs of eyes simultaneously revealing a trace of solemnity.

The most crucial thing for an auction house was its reputation. Once people found out they were auctioning fakes and deceiving customers, the auction house would be spurned by all its patrons, and shutting its doors would not be far off.

At this thought, what should have been a dodging move — she instead turned her face toward him. His fist stopped abruptly the instant it touched the tip of Ye Qiu'er's nose. Yet the moment he paused, he knew he had fallen for Ye Qiu'er's trick again.

After all, in this world, for people to genuinely get along, it had to be under circumstances without any threat whatsoever. If a problem arose with one party, then this fragile friendship would shatter outright.

"As long as he's alive, it's easy to talk. Saves us from having no way to explain ourselves." Mu Shan was far more taciturn than Qing Ge; for him to utter such a long sentence, it was clear he still brooded over the incident that day when Helan Tao had taken a knock to the head from him and feigned unconsciousness.

"A cozy nest stunts growth. Staying in the Pill Sect is just spinning a cocoon around myself. I have to leave. Moreover, in the Endless Sea Region, there's a Sea Dragon Battle Armor waiting for me to retrieve!" Yang Lang said.

"She's pregnant — Ye Feng's child." At these words, her tone sank a few degrees, her eyes filled with helplessness, and the curve of her lips carried a trace of bitterness.

A flash of nervousness crossed her eyes. Caring about nothing else, she strode toward the door and rushed out.

Ye Feng's answer confirmed to everyone that they were not seeing things, and immediately, it made every one of them all the more astonished.

Fang Mu looked at Niu Cheng's nervous state and said no more words of thanks. Instead, he gave Niu Cheng a heavy clap on the shoulder, taking this debt of gratitude to heart.

Meanwhile, after hearing Fang Mu's arrangement, Li Laotu's eyes darted about a few times — clearly, a different notion had taken shape in Li Laotu's mind.

Hua Bichen blinked, staring at that face mere inches away, her chest contracting sharply.

In other words: with Meng Liuli's martial arts footwork — light, nimble, and agile — she could strike the two of them countless times, even knock them down, yet these two gentlemen were like roly-poly dolls: knocked down once, they got back up; knocked down again, they got back up again, demonstrating the indomitable will of humanity to the fullest.

Before long, a ghost demon suddenly seemed to go mad, searching for something, howling and wailing. Tie Yi and the other two had no idea what it was saying.

Altinis flushed red, unable to utter a single word. Her sightless eyes were somewhat panicked. Something called desire was flowing through her body, extremely slowly, and her heart pounded wildly as her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Qin Nan glanced at him and smiled, then stopped to recover his vitality. The others also found spots to rest, while secretly surrounding Yu Cheng.

"Stop deceiving me, Morey. We've been together this long — what is there you can't tell me?" Hanna stared fixedly into Morey's eyes, denying him any chance of escape.

Even so, the group still suffered near-fatal injuries, especially Li Ruifan, Ji Kui, and Xu Weizhi. The three of them had the weakest cultivation and the lowest strength. Though they were not the ones who bore the brunt of the heavy blows, even the aftershock alone nearly killed them. Now they had all fallen into a coma.

"Doctor, is my wife okay?" After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he still felt uneasy and cast a glance into the operating room.

Things having escalated to this point, even if she wanted to stay and continue competing, she could no longer remain.

Luo Nan's gaze seemed to pierce through the internet, seeing a sexy, alluring older sister wearing black stockings, her clothes revealing yet not revealing, smiling languidly.

"Old Shen said we don't need to worry about the housing situation. They've already prepared a villa, afraid that we'd want to buy a place — he gave me a heads-up in advance," Lin Hang said in all seriousness.

Therefore, from the product's market positioning, to the advertising plan, to the final placement, every single link required careful attention.

Those who had not been named all began whitewashing themselves — deleting posts, playing the coward.

Perhaps he was simply reserve rations kept by that tiger demon lord, waiting to be fattened up before being thrown into the pot and stewed.

With just that one expression, not only did he directly acknowledge the fan's remark, he also implied it was a secret that could not be spoken of openly.

Fang Xing gave suggestions based on each of their respective issues: "Guo Keda, listen to your vocal part another hundred times. Don't sing along — cut out your section and just listen to those few lines, repeated a hundred times.

Lu Lin led the way, arriving at the foot of the mountain peak. Finding a patch of dense shrubbery, he formed hand seals, summoned the Mountain-Piercing Beast, and directed it to get to work.

After the photographing and soil sampling were all finished, Tian Mi reckoned the timing was about right and planned to head to the taxi company to wait for He Xiushan, who drove long-distance routes, to return.

Huizhu well understood what Yin Zhen was thinking, and so had formed the intention to keep her distance from Lady Nian. At this moment, toward the glance Lady Nian cast her way, she simply pretended not to notice, and chatted with Lady Geng beside her about the brothers Hongli and Hongzhou.

Clearly, Zhou Yang's last sentence had moved Dongfang Xian. His body jolted, and he abruptly came to a realization.

"If I said I was just an ordinary disciple of the Fire Qilin Sect, would you believe me?" Qin Yi looked at Shen 'Lang' and said with a smile.
