Chapter 97: White Snake, Green Snake (Please follow and read!)

~7 min read 1,292 words

A few soldiers whose qi had gone awry were so scared they trembled all over, dropped to their knees with a thud, and kowtowed furiously as if pounding garlic, weeping so hard that tears and snot streamed down together.

After those people left, Zhong Siqi sat in the room without moving. With something like that happening to Chu Laoba, she truly wasn't worried in the slightest — one could only say the man had it coming.

Thinking that this problem which had plagued the Celestial Empire for a thousand years had actually been solved by her elder brother, Ma Can felt a share in the glory.

Li Tianjian kowtowed to the king, and the king had prepared quite a few words of praise, but in the blink of an eye he discovered that Li Tianjian's gaze wasn't on him at all.

Li Pinggui was overjoyed, and with a sharp shout, a large group of excited soldiers scattered out, staring eagerly at those three adorable gunners.

"The Mohists have no grudge against you either? Going soft?" Qin Chu shot back, and at the same moment his Immortal-Slaying, Life-Denying Sword Qi pierced through Heishan Old Ancestor's domain, then drove straight through his chest.

Time slipped away bit by bit. Inside the Mystic Armor Cauldron before Qin Chu, the flames grew stronger and stronger. The Emperor Realm Tribulation Pill was the top-grade pill within the Emperor Realm tier, and also the most heaven-defying pill — it was the pill that assisted cultivators at the peak of the Emperor Realm in ascending to the Great Emperor Realm.

The city-defense cannons opened fire one after another; the bucket-thick mortars fired in succession; massive stone shots soared into the sky; and the direct-aim cannons also fired to cover the retreating routed troops.

Su Yijin took the handkerchief without any coyness, pinching it in her hand. In truth she didn't have much strength left — the wound on her chest had gone somewhat numb.

The old man's meals were now all prepared by Mu Ling'er, so everything was strictly done according to the doctor's instructions; anything lacking in nutrition or harmful to the body was refused outright.

Actually, after Grandpa Fan had lain in the hospital unconscious for a month back then, Shi Jiang had been quite certain of one thing.

It had only been one day, and the news of Luo Juechen becoming Sect Master had not been out long before it also spread through the Outer Gate.

Hu You rubbed its panda head, laughing and apologizing: "It's my fault for not recognizing you just now — I was wrong, okay?

Everyone had watched Hu You trade with Luo Jin, so they naturally knew that opening the Silver Treasure Chest was only a matter of time, and weren't surprised in the least.

The carriage from the Central Holy Domain had been traveling safely through the Eastern Holy Domain for several days now. No one knew how many disturbances had been quelled along the way, and the onlookers lurking at the edges finally had to admit helplessly that this group was not one they could provoke — even if everyone set aside their differences and teamed up for one big score, there wouldn't be the slightest chance.

Hu You paid her no mind, still thinking she was worried about his safety, which was why she was following so closely.

The residence built above offered an extremely broad view, able to look down on a gorgeous nightscape—a so-called mid-mountain mansion. Not only was its feng shui superb, with mountains encircling and water embracing, it was also rich in vegetation, a quiet dwelling amid green barriers, able to protect the privacy of life that the rich valued most.

Sure enough, You Cheng's worry wasn't unfounded. After the three of them had jogged for a short while, finally Xie Yue and Hu Liena noticed that behind them, at the very limit of their sight, there were no longer any fellow newcomers to be seen.

Moon Shadow yawned, then put on her clothes, went to the riverbank to wash up, but under the firelight's glow she saw in the water's reflection her own face, drained of color.

With Yuan Mingqi's side of things resolved, temporarily taking in these six people was now a settled fact. Jiang Yuebai first informed everyone in the envoy group of this news, then arranged lodging for them, and later would procure a few carriages for them in Ping'an Commandery — everything would fall neatly into place.

No wonder — when it came to the later matter of the fierce ghost at Hao Village, Grandmother hadn't dealt with it; it turned out that at the time she was already past her strength.

After Mother Su's explanation, Su Rao finally learned that this person was a leader sent down from the city to inspect the countryside. Seeing no one in the village, he had asked around and only then found out what had happened, arriving in time at the Su household to save her life.

In this world, compared with the body-tempering Maoshan cultivators who use lightning, I don't think there are many reckless fools who'd dare to do that — even Thunder doesn't have that kind of toughness.

But if the City God that the Advisor follows gets promoted, the Advisor can ascend to the heavens in a single step. What's more, the current City God of some cities was once their Advisor.

If it were like the Fierce Ghost Building, then for what reason do these ghosts exist, and through what medium?

If the price isn't high, for some wealthy families, buying one to play with wouldn't be bad.

Zhao Nanbing, supported by several household servants, walked out of Liu Xi's mansion gate. On one of the steps, he carelessly missed one and nearly fell, but luckily a servant caught him.

After the few of them got off the boat — of course they were on foot; their carriages had all been abandoned on the other bank of the Yellow River at Kaifeng — once off the boat they could only walk on their own two legs for now.

In an instant, raindrops began to fall without any warning, but strangely, rain only fell within about twenty centimeters around Wen Yang's feet; everywhere else was dry and fresh, as if the heavens were deliberately teasing Wen Yang.

The previous two times, as soon as she got in the car, she would immediately lean against him and fall asleep, only opening her eyes and getting out once they had arrived.

"You don't wash your own clothes — why must you make us new recruits do the laundry?" Zhong Guolong pressed aggressively.

Gong Tianhao cracked his horsewhip again; the warhorse, feeling the sting, put out more strength. The others did the same.

"It hurts." Wei Yining had come back again, her hand already wrapped up like a zongzi. Wei Yining was acting pitifully cute over this one matter, while Shen Yihan hovered solicitously at her side, handling everything for Wei Yining perfectly and properly.

This debate match, worthy of being the grand final, truly had both sides at a very high level — back and forth they went, swords of words clashing, debating so well that applause from the audience never stopped.

Cut open the belly to examine the corpse?! The crowd instantly opened their eyes wide in shock, exchanging glances. Wasn't this Doctor Zhang being far too bold? How could he dare say such a thing?

To tell the truth, she didn't much like sitting and waiting for death either. At a critical juncture like now, there was simply no better method to resolve things, so the only thing she could do was nurse herself back into proper condition.
