Chapter 453: Guidance

"I'm half-dead from sleepiness, what are you waking me up so early for?"

Ruan Hongzhuang was dragged to the balcony by Shen Siyuan, her eyes still heavy with sleep. She hadn't washed her face, hadn't combed her hair, hadn't even changed out of her pajamas. Utterly exhausted, she was now brimming with resentment.

"Of course, to exercise." Shen Siyuan said.

"You want me dead, don't you? Doing it on purpose, right? Last night wasn't enough tormenting for you, and now first thing in the morning you still want to torment me?"

"How did he torment you last night?"

If he really is following the date itinerary from Christmas Day, then next they should head to the steak restaurant where they had once dined together.

Zhuang Yi nodded, then went to handle the passport paperwork for his family, and casually sent the five million to Chen Yan as well.

Although I knew this journey of mine was like walking on thin ice, with danger likely lurking on all sides, I was still infected by the quiet and beautiful atmosphere all around.

But my heart was tensed to the extreme. If the evil thing were to strike at me now, I truly wouldn't be its match. I also didn't know whether the Emperor Demon could come out this time. After the last battle between the Emperor Demon and Soul Concubine, it had once again fallen into a deep slumber, with no movement at all.

Once three pots of meat were braised, the remaining meat was only enough for one more pot. The two empty pots were then filled entirely with pumpkin, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

A streak of fiery red light flashed up from the ground, followed by a fierce gust of hurricane sweeping past. A faint white mist instantly filled the entire space.

Every time she saw the way Yan Yi treated Liu Nian—gentle, doting, protective—she truly wanted to pounce on him and tear Liu Nian's mouth apart.

Saying this, I got up and rushed over to grab her shoulders. It seemed she really had no strength left. This time she didn't fight back, didn't resist, but simply collapsed onto me. Her soft body instantly made me lose the urge to hit her.

However, since it was a marriage decreed by the Empress Dowager, even if Academician Qin was unwilling, he had no choice but to accept the imperial edict and obediently prepare for the wedding.

Elsewhere, in the CEO's office, Shangguan Mo sat slumped on the only intact sofa, surrounded by utter wreckage.

Jiang Chang'an's six Prison Spirit Flames in his palm gathered and wove themselves into a cauldron. Without a word, he directly placed the Azure Trace Dragon Sovereign Sinew inside.

Immediately after, a honking horn came from behind Jiang Chengce's car—it turned out his car was blocking the path of the other vehicles.

In our Hong Kong Island film industry, just tell us the general plot and we can design the action for you right away.

"Go ahead and kill, but before that, wait until I come back first." Jiang Chang'an smiled lightly, his figure leaping up. A golden rainbow flashed and vanished at the horizon in an instant.

"Up ahead is the main force of the Vertical and Horizontal Army, and behind us is a Dragon Division eyeing us hungrily, who knows when they'll spot our disguise. Our situation isn't exactly great!" Han Qidi said in a low voice beside Feng Luoyu.

Jiang Chang'an instinctively wanted to retreat backward, but his body wouldn't obey him—his legs were as if filled with a thousand pounds of lead, unable to move a single step. Mo Cang's laughter cut off abruptly. A wisp of black qi in his eyes once again swept toward Jiang Chang'an's body, drilling into his spiritual essence.

The sound of the qin and se was truly coordinated too perfectly, performed too exquisitely. For a moment, the hearts of the audience couldn't help but think of the meeting between Boya and Ziqi. Thinking of that lofty, kindred spirit deep in the mountains and forests, whether it was Xie Wan or Wang Kuai, their weariness vanished in an instant, and feelings of admiration and longing quietly arose.

In the originally dim room, it suddenly lit up. A dazzling radiance shone out from the cracks in the bone fragment.

Jiang Chang'an seemed to suddenly attain a profound realization: my Dao follows Heaven, just like the principle of alchemy—using the spirit as the sun, using the essence as the sea. Refining essence with spirit-fire can transform essence into qi and purify the spiritual essence.

On top of that, several passing big brothers shouted him down, forcing Dou the Immortal to have no choice but to drag himself forward.

That day, the Xie family plummeted from heaven straight into hell! From millionaires to debtors! From a wealthy household to a house of mourning! The people of A City, even people across the entire nation, were all watching this upheaval.
