Living here as mountain lords, free from imperial control, they’ve lived quite happily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once I leave, they will surely return to reclaim it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he concealed this well, except for that fleeting emotional shift, Song Xueyi had noticed nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yiwang Divine Envoy, you dare intrude alone into Yunji Sect—do you not wish to live?” Qingqian True Person frowned, yet his voice remained calm and level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yibai had already left the aircraft while descending through the cloud sea, using a concealment technique to hide his form and surveying the world-famous international metropolis from high above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though this information struck Qin Yibai, after careful thought he accepted it, for among all earthly legends of the Immortal Realm, only this explanation made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Ruyun hated Qiu Muchan for harming his master and uncle, but due to his reclusive nature, he took no pride in having failed to capture Xiao Luohan himself, and upon hearing Lady Shuye say she would travel with Shen Meinu—his own uncle—he had even less reason to object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!” A tremendous roar came from somewhere unknown; when Mei Yang and the others looked closely, they saw monstrous creatures pouring in from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By nightfall the two had set out, but since Xiao Qingya’s night vigil was still insufficient, they waited outdoors until midnight before halting five to six li beyond the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage continued jolting along the road, drawing ever closer to Lanle Kingdom’s territory, as the snowstorm grew fiercer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About right—anything too dangerous, Qingyu should stay far away,” Yue Tai hurriedly warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the creature even arrived, Yan Niang caught a strange, intoxicating fragrance that startled her. Focusing her gaze, she saw the old monkey carried only a single lotus flower, its petals glowing like jade, dewdrops glistening at its heart, shimmering like starlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two brothers refused, demanding that every other nation cede them some territory, or else they would invade and expand by force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Ning heard this and felt a chill. “Kill her” were just three light words, but the scene must have been a brutal civil struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But… if so, how could imperial law be upheld? What would distinguish guilt from innocence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but his expression remained hidden beneath the beaded crown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Youmu Qing’s jaw dropped, yet gradually he realized Mo Lingfeng was right—these two were indeed well matched, both mentally unbalanced, and best off achieving true cultivation rather than tormenting others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when she paused, she understood: perhaps she had originally intended to invite her to a bar, but thought someone of her status shouldn’t go there, and changed it to a hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every historical story this young man told was not isolated but linked, each revealing the shadow of the next story’s protagonist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because of the arrival of this acting Dragon King, the onlookers had quietly dispersed without anyone noticing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if one lost or finished last in this Four Camp Trial, everything they currently held would be seized by others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Song Bo surged forward, the other camouflage-clad bodyguards in the room readied their weapons, all leveling their guns at Li Miaowang, aiming to intimidate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sedan bearers were four barefoot giants, and inside the sedan, of course, sat the bride being escorted—though we could not see her.\u003C\u002Fp>",618,"2026-06-20T00:29:15.554Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3122d81d45a2eb512c3a4cf704f92d1e4e2f5f5257f5284662cd59f3862baa31","if-you-will-not-reject-me-i-wish-to-bow-and-take-chapter-787","if-you-will-not-reject-me-i-wish-to-bow-and-take-chapter-785",840,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fif-you-will-not-reject-me-i-wish-to-bow-and-take-cover.jpg"]
