Chapter 262: Knowing the Tiger Dwells in the Mountain, Yet Heading Straight for the Tiger's Lair

The gap.

It was simply too vast.

In his expectation, he would be supremely clever, outwit and outfight the enemy, ultimately gain the upper hand, successfully retrieve the Taiji Sword Case, then join forces with Zhao Zhao Siyuan to successfully kill this black-robed man.

To avoid alerting the other party, Dou Dou Changsheng proceeded with extreme caution; covering a mere thousand-plus meters took him a great deal of time.

But now, his caution was in vain; he was essentially outwitting and outfighting thin air.

This black-robed man slumped in his chair.

Ye Xiao had already done that with her; shouldn't he give her a proper status? Shouldn't he take responsibility for her?

On their bodies, who knew how many wounds there were; blood sprayed continuously from the wounds, leaving pools of bright red liquid on the ground. They still resisted tirelessly, yet under this overwhelmingly powerful electric current, their bodies seemed unable to hold on, as if they were about to be torn into fragments.

The wounds all over his body had scabbed over, but his internal injuries had not yet healed; it would still take three or four days to fully recover.

An aircraft carrier takes them decades to build... and even then, they only produce an empty shell... This allows one to imagine how corrupt this country has become.

Returning to the Eastern Palace was too far and also a bit conspicuous; taking advantage of a one-hour rest period at noon, the three swiftly made their way to a nearby Su Yuqing Lou.

She had factored in the dangers that might arise in the future; she didn't know if her reasoning was correct, but she had already decided to build the wooden house a bit higher.

After all, those were all strangers; Ye Xiao had ruined her reputation there, so if she moved to another district, no one would know her.

However, at this moment, Sun Sun Wukong, with Sun Zhao Wudao's assistance, had decided to first delay matters by drinking, hoping to deduce the origins and intentions of the Bull Demon King.

"Are you blaming me?" The Emperor walked up to Yan Hui, just as in days past; he was half a head taller than her, and if she looked up, she could just reach his shoulder.

The Plague God was spreading the plague with glee in Lin Zi; venomous insects and snakes ran rampant, the entire county town was shrouded in filthy evil qi, mountain miasma and poisonous fog filled the sky, and the plague was rampant.

However, I still dared not, because I discovered that, unknown to me, a batch of evil ghosts had been following behind Liang Chenghai; their faces were grotesque, they looked like fierce demons, and they were screaming as they rushed at me. I was almost so terrified that I screamed out, then immediately covered my mouth.

Zhou Chang'an had also made his stance clear: he would not send troops to besiege Baifeng Fortress for the time being. However, if any further evil acts by Baifeng Fortress were discovered, all crimes would be combined and punished severely without mercy.

Under the full moon and twinkling stars, Zhou Zhenwei finally returned to his room. Lifting the curtain, he saw the candlelight casting an orange glow; Bi Xiu sat at the table doing needlework, while Yu Luo Qiao, with her eyes half-closed, lay lazily on her side on a low couch, wearing a tea-white gauze shirt and a green pleated skirt with silver thread trim slightly bunched up; her jade-like, glowing bare feet were curled up, making one want to put them in one's mouth and bite.

That morning, the Huo and Qi ladies-in-law got up early to wash and groom. Bathing in the morning light, they made an appointment to go to the courtyard of Third Young Master An to have breakfast together. Because in these past few days, Third Young Master An had been exhausted by Elder Master An, sleeping only two or three hours each day, he had become quite thin.

"Brother Feng, is that bastard in the spatial layer too? You didn't kill him, did you?" After cursing, Yuan Li turned to ask.

"I cannot escape; Su Chen, it's up to you." At this moment, Leng Yun's voice also came through the earpiece.

After Su Chen and the others killed the vampires, they led the minion wave, swarming into the high-ground tower to support their own top laner and jungler.

"Brother Feng, can you tell us now? What on earth possessed you last night?" Finally, Yuan Li could no longer hold back and asked.

He kissed Teng Teng Niangzi's deeply flushed cheeks once, then threw back the covers and stepped out. Turning back, he wrapped her up tightly before heading straight to the wardrobe; in an instant, his official robe was neatly and crisply donned.

Their hearts were filled with anxiety and worry; they wanted to break down the door or smash the windows to force their way in. But Third Young Master An had, early on, cunningly placed heavy antique racks, solid wood screens, large tables, and other furniture to block and seal the doors and windows tightly; people outside could not easily ram the doors or windows open to get in.
