118. Sorcery, Gu, and Voodoo Arts (1/2)

The black water lay like a mirror, reflecting all manner of scenes.

A dilapidated courtyard appeared within the "mirror," and a shadowy figure was moving about the yard, rummaging through every furnishing.

Zhou Chang saw that familiar courtyard, and his expression briefly went blank: "He's gone to my house?

What is he trying to do?"

Old Yang beside him said nothing, his gaze fixed tightly on the figure whose back was turned to them.

Judging from the back alone, that person made Yang—

The bow-wielding soldier had little patience to begin with, and seeing Shi Jin in such a state only made his anger flare. He whipped an arrow from the quiver on his back, intending to stab Shi Jin to death on the spot.

It wasn't that he was entirely opposed to Sun Yin remarrying—he simply wanted to give her a little buffer, to wait until her adrenaline settled before she seriously thought about marriage.

The stress-induced trembling meant that every movement tore at the uninjured flesh on his body, and that pitiful, helpless look of agony was enough to make anyone sigh.

Raven-black hair drifted in the air; in Tang Sui's ink-dark pupils, Yang Wudi's stubborn resistance and the ever-deepening shadow beneath his feet were reflected unblinkingly. The corners of her lips curved ever so slightly, and a crimson halo spun deep within her gaze, like the rolling of thick night-black, as though something were about to burst forth.

Of course, Second Concubine and Fifth Concubine could not be happy about this meal. After eating, they quickly paid respects to the old lady and returned to their own courtyard.

"Um… does this mean I should punch this hilt with my fist?" Hattori Heiji asked the Mist Tengu's meaning, and seeing it nod, he swallowed, clenched his right fist, and struck the hilt with moderate force.

"As a Guardian Elder of the Green Dragon Society, why are you helping me instead?" Lin Han asked at once.

Zhao Chun and Tiaotiao were especially close as brothers—perhaps because he was several years older, he had even developed a sense of responsibility.

"Auntie Wu may not know, but I was the top courtesan of the pleasure house back in the day," the proprietress confessed.

Zhu Yuanzhang is currently paving the path of imperial power for Crown Prince Zhu Biao. Once Crown Prince Zhu Biao ascends the throne, Ning Que will legitimately become the Crown Prince, and Yan Wuju naturally wishes to build good relations with this imperial grandson.

The driver looked up without releasing the beauty's body and asked, "What is it? Just say it—I'd even be willing to give you money!" Saying so, he lowered his head to kiss her again.

There are also extended forms, like Li Bai, courtesy name Taibai. Taibai refers to the planet Venus, an extension of the meaning of "Bai." There are also auxiliary forms, like Zheng Qiao, courtesy name Yuzhong. Qiao means woodcutter, Yu means fisherman—often companions to each other, mutually supporting.

Hearing Huang Youlong's words, Ali reluctantly agreed, then glanced at Guo Fei, the resentment in his eyes deepening.

Don't doubt it—it's really different. In the shop assistant's words, the water is different, the meat is different, even the noodles are different.

Hearing their names called, the clan leaders of the Sha and Yan clans in the hall were so terrified their faces drained of color, and dropped to their knees with a thud.

After hauling this grouper weighing seven or eight jin to the reef beneath him, Xu Haibao scooped it up with his landing net. Watching the grouper thrash and flop unwillingly in the net, he felt this rod's haul was quite decent.

"I tell you, Chestnut, the click count on your video has surpassed three million—it's now first place in the entire back-to-school season video contest." Fatty Qian grinned at Han Li.

The thunder dragon coiling around the Fang Tian halberd vanished, replaced by a dragon-shaped imprint that seemed several degrees sharper.

"I'll do as before—go out in the dead of night to check by the well. When I get there, everything is the same as usual, nothing strange. Just as I was about to approach the well, a sudden mist rose up. That mist was especially thick; the surrounding houses couldn't be seen at all."

At this moment, a golden flame was burning on his body, slowly searing his flesh, as though it meant to burn his very body into nothingness.
