Chapter 143: Madam Xiao's Request

"Junior Brother Fang!"

As soon as Fang Xiao returned to the camp, Han Dahu immediately rushed over and asked with utmost anxiety, "Are you alright?"

Fang Xiao flashed a wide grin and replied, "I'm fine."

Yet, in truth, at this very moment, he didn't look alright at all.

Having just returned from hunting down a fiendish minion, Fang Xiao was drenched in blood, looking exceptionally startling under the flickering light of the camp bonfire.

Of course, Fang Xiao hadn't lied either.

His clothes...

"Lan'er, what is this place? Everything here seems so unfamiliar to me," Zhan Zhao said with a somewhat dazed expression.

Xiantian Pills and Condensing Qi Pills were merely supplementary elixirs for practicing martial arts, their efficacy varying from person to person. Some geniuses could continuously advance through the Martial Disciple realm without even needing them.

"What is this?" Chen Mohan looked at the pill, a puzzled expression written across her face. She didn't feel sick at all.

Wu Weiyang only felt a momentary coolness wash over her body—a very comfortable chill. Her soul felt as though it were floating in the air. She could no longer hear anyone's voice; she could only see their expressions of utter terror, frozen instantly in that single moment.

That night, Chen Ji lay on his bed with his hands pillowing his head, pondering matters, when suddenly his ears twitched as he heard his room window being pushed open.

The word "wife" rolled off his tongue so naturally, as if she had already been his wife for a long time.

Chen Mohan immediately dialed Yang Qingluo's phone number, but unfortunately, there was no answer. She figured Qingluo must be busy right now.

Xie Yuliang was the former general manager of the East District branch of Shentong, and he had been missing for a month due to embezzling public funds.

"Exactly! When we were working as bodyguards overseas, our salary was several times what you're paying, and no one treated us with your attitude. Do you really think you're some kind of crown prince? Treating us like slaves day in and day out!" Ah Pao was also filled with grievances, which finally erupted today.

Fulin supported Wuyunzhu and said nothing more, flicking his sleeves as he turned to leave, only dropping a single instruction for the Empress to proceed with him to the rear hall to discuss the reorganization of the inner palace.

Thus, it had completely forgotten how haughty it once was, and how vastly capable its former self had been, ultimately choosing to compromise.

When had I ever truly intended to scheme against anyone or contend for anything? Yet here in the vast expanse of Nanyue, there were simply so many people plotting to harm me, or even demanding my life.

"It's impossible to estimate accurately, but the range is roughly thirty meters. However, accidents may still occur," the system said.

I was momentarily at a loss for words, having no idea how to explain things to her. When had I ever become entangled with Lou Yihang? Just because he uttered words about marrying me, I was now forced to take the blame as well.

Ouyang Lin frowned. She had traveled thousands of miles to get here just for another chance to see him, yet she never expected to be shut out.

She gently touched her lips, where the scent of Zhao Jing seemed to still linger, sending her heart fluttering once again into another wave of uncontrollable beats.

Although Qi Dongqiang possessed a rather conceited personality, he was extremely diligent when it came to cultivation. Aside from eating two packs of candied chestnuts, he hadn't slacked off at all.

Suddenly, the carcasses of seven giant beasts appeared in the open space, drawing a chorus of gasps from the crowd. These massive creatures were bizarre and terrifying in appearance, something Yun Chu had never witnessed before.

The next morning, Chu Ming went to work at Lin Qian's place as usual. Stepping out of his front door, he noticed a black sedan parked at the far corner of the street. The engine was off, but a flickering light inside suggested someone was smoking a cigarette. Who could possibly be here at such an early hour?

He waved a gentle surge of divine power to wrap around Thrall's body, casually tore open a portal leading to the Golden Coast, and before departing, unleashed a torrent of fiery breath to completely engulf and incinerate the ancient green dragon's lair.

"Father... I will ride back with you." Lou Ying had no heart for drinking; with the help of a servant, he vaulted into the saddle and headed straight for the Great General's Manor instead of his own home.

With the office relocated to the hospital, the progress slowed down noticeably. Moreover, facing those curious gazes, Lin Yu felt as though she were a monkey being watched by crowds in a zoo.
