Chapter 218: Entering the Palace, Making Inferences

Seeing Xiao Ye return home, Xia Jinxī immediately stood up, her thin nightgown accentuating her figure well.

It seems he suffered severe internal injuries; if not for the fragments of the Imperial Edict sustaining him, he would have been dead long ago.

Ye Yan flew into a rage, leaping up instantly, desperate to crush the three-tailed venomous golden scorpion on the spot.

“Fourth Soul Technique: Bear Dominates the World!” With no place to dodge, the man with the Gu surname could only release his Soul Technique to directly meet the attack of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

Donghai University is also very large; its campus area is no smaller than that of the Medical University, and its reputation far surpasses it. In fact, Murong Xue’s score of 660 points was more than enough to enter Tsinghua or Peking University, but because of Chen Tianxiu, she willingly gave up those prestigious schools and came to the same city as him. This deeply moved Chen Tianxiu.

“According to past regulations, all nine of you will be directly admitted into the First-Year Core Class One! Work hard, young ones!” Finally, the dean spoke to conclude.

As night fell, Dai Mubai slowly stepped out of his hotel room, looking back with obvious reluctance.

The moment the old beggar saw Xiao Ye’s face, his body trembled instantly, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Before the voice faded, a powerful will surged along the suction into the illusory world within the demon eye, giving rise to endless world-destroying thunderbolts that instantly obliterated the entire realm.

While his physical strength increased, his spirit also became purer and more resilient from enduring the agony of earth-fire forging, until his mental energy crystallized in his mind into a silver, semi-crystalline mass.

Jia Hetu had already left Yanjing; what could the other four do? Moreover, the outside world widely spread the rumor that the Five Extremes of Yanjing had fractured because of Ye Shuo.

Cheng Fei wiped the blood from his lips; facing so many at once was indeed taxing, but no big problem—two or three more rounds, and all these people would be dead.

As for the victim with uneven leg lengths, no progress has been made yet; from the bone structure or body parts, the victim showed no signs of illness or clubfoot. Since the full body has not been recovered, it is difficult to expand the investigation in this direction.

Especially the purple trim paired with black is perfect—it has already been demonstrated on Qiu Shaoze.

Xiao Buli flew out, unable to control the churning blood in his chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

At the third watch of the night, a shadow crept stealthily into the inn; after rummaging through the kitchen, the shadow scaled the wall and leapt over it.

“If you give me leave, will I escape this peach-blossom curse?” Qiu Shaoze rolled his eyes at Zhao Chang.

Seeing the two sentries on duty, Chen Ji adjusted his pack and his appearance, then walked straight forward.

Excruciating pain erupted from the depths of their souls—a torment no ordinary person could withstand, for at this moment, their bones, blood, muscles, even the sweat on their skin and their very souls were being scorched by the golden flame.

The massive body gave a heavy impression, but Lin Yun was surprised that the ten Heavenly-Earth Elephants had beautiful amber eyes; no matter how he looked, they were perfectly normal elephants—where was the deformity the woodpecker mentioned?

About a month passed, and Han Ling still had not received a letter from Su Hao in the Zhenwu Palace; she grew deeply worried and secretly slipped out. Han Ling knew Su Hao’s Yunxiao City was dangerous, but she could no longer suppress her feelings, so she went straight to Yunxiao City.

Jiang Jinyan’s thoughts were too erratic; he dropped the coffee matter. Chu Yun secretly exhaled in relief—her injured hand throbbed painfully. Jiang Jinyan tilted his face up, gazing at her, then fell silent again, pretending profundity.

Lei Ce reached out and touched his wife’s delicate cheek, momentarily at a loss; pregnant again? How could she be pregnant again? Didn’t he take contraceptive pills? Didn’t he always take precautions during intimacy?

The three boys began playing the cycle game: "You stop, I go; I rest, he takes over."

Cao Ruoxi asked Fu Ye about Fu Rui’s preferences, then spent the entire afternoon busy in the kitchen preparing a lavish dinner. Even the thermal container she used to carry the meal was carefully selected. In short, she had to make everything perfect.

“Ah, well… hahaha, the Right Chancellor has a point. But whether to march south is still unclear given the current situation—it seems premature to decide. Moreover, the Jin’s recent actions have been unusual; we absolutely cannot rashly march south and give Jin, the Southern State, and the Western Frontier a chance to encircle our Northern Region.” Wang Lan stroked his beard.

Chu Yun was dreaming of playing happily with her parents when the scene suddenly shifted to a freezing winter day—her father taking her to skate on an artificial lake near their old home. Without warning, a one-meter-wide crack split open on the ice, and she plunged straight through.

Mo Ruoli did not step forward. Though she longed desperately for the person before her and had countless words she wished to speak to her, she remained still.

This foreign term of respect for revered or high-ranking individuals—could Director Smith truly hold her in such esteem?

These days, getting a military uniform isn’t easy; many people yearn for one but have no way to obtain it. Not to mention that besides the brand-new uniform, the matching briefcase and bedding were all complete sets—making people wonder just how powerful this person’s background must be.

“Si Yi, these two are our children, right?” After laughing for a while, Old Shen spoke up.

When she was Lin Shurou’s assistant, Lin Shurou remembered every single thing she had done to her. Lin Shurou was certainly no good person. She hadn’t heard any news of Lin Shurou in a long time, only occasional fragments from Pang Ge saying Lin Shurou was living poorly.

Mrs. Yi stumbled forward, about to fall, and Tong Ran rushed forward to catch her.

The others were puzzled by what their boss said, but under these circumstances, he still issued orders calmly—sure enough, their boss was unlike anyone else.

Lin Shurou wanted precisely this statement from Lisa; now that she had Lisa’s promise, she would not refuse further, lest she anger Lisa and gain nothing.

Ke Sen rubbed his salt-and-pepper beard, speaking softly, as if deep in thought.

The Blood Pool lies deep within a crescent-shaped valley in the northern mountains of the Blood Moon Sect; on a cliff wall at the valley’s heart stands a stone gate dozens of zhang tall, its slab carved with a blood-red moon.
