Chapter 58

Within a single day, Hanyu found out that Eunuch Liu had secretly kept a lover outside the palace and would visit her every now and then. No one inside the palace knew about this. While this was not a grave crime in itself, Eunuch Liu had secretly given his lover a substantial amount of silver, which made the matter deeply suspicious.

One was still deeply in love, while the other was just beginning to learn to love. These two people, each harboring their own thoughts, seemed to be growing closer and closer. Yet, what would the ultimate outcome be? No one knew.

"She has been implanted with a spiritual parasite..." Just as Jun Li finished speaking, his expression suddenly shifted, and he abruptly looked toward Yun Yao.

Even if Lu Chengming was unwilling to listen, Gu Ziming still had to say it. Barely a day had passed since Bai Momo's departure, and Leng Zhi had already been reduced to a ghost-like state. If Bai Momo were to disappear for another year or two, Leng Zhi would likely tear the entire planet upside down.

A smile then touched the corners of Mu Xuncheng's lips. From the time they first met until now, that had been the crudest thing Mu Xuncheng had ever said, yet it was also her absolute favorite.

"How noisy. Slap your own mouth!" Qiuyue knitted her brows, her red lips spitting out four words. Yulu's body trembled as she raised her hand and struck her own cheek.

"Alright. You can lie down on your stomach now." Shen Xia paused for a moment, her gaze falling upon Lu Yunqing's bronze-colored back. It was smooth without a single flaw, his skin glowing as if freshly moisturized, glistening with a faint, crystalline sheen.

Xie Jingchou exchanged greetings with Xie Guangyun, and Xie Guangyun instructed Su Nian and Xie Jingchou to go back and rest first, telling them not to worry about the evening banquet and that they did not even need to show their faces.

After a cup of tea, Ran Qing took the initiative to rise and bid farewell. As she walked out the door, she turned back to take one last deep look at that family of three, finally smiled faintly, and turned away.

"I'll let it slide this time, but if there is a next time, this hotel of yours won't need to stay open anymore!" Gao Yuanyuan said.

Chu Qian glanced at Baili Qiuyu, who was already showing signs of intoxication, and shook his head, thinking to himself that his martial uncle had a poor tolerance for alcohol—she had only taken a few sips of beer and was already drunk.

Accepting the tray, Gu Qingcheng did not say a single word and turned on her heel to leave. Gu Qingcheng's cold departure secretly filled Duan Tianyi with anxiety, fearing greatly that she was displeased with him and would send him away.

Before he could even finish admiring the view, Qin Yang grew impatient. Having starved all night, his stomach was already rumbling with hunger, and his eyes practically gleamed with a green light—how could he possibly stand on ceremony?

"Director Liu, please sign this..." Honest Monk walked into the human resources director's office holding an onboarding form, only to be startled by the scene before him.

Emperor Jun swept his gaze across the ministers assembled at the altar. At this moment, his entire body was engulfed in a blazing, roaring torrent of golden-red solar true flames as he raised his hand and swept it forward.

At this moment, "Yue Tao" still seemed to harbor some reservations. However, following his furious roar of "I know what I must do," he lunged toward Chu Yu without a shred of hesitation, clutching the soul-summoning banner tightly in his hand—or rather, as if it were glued to his palm.

Compared to other places, the sky within this radius of ten thousand miles showed not the slightest hint of anomaly; the breeze remained gentle and the sky was clear and vast.

The green bamboo staff darted left and right, while its wielder felt a secret surge of astonishment. He truly could not have imagined that Honest Monk possessed such extraordinary martial arts and striking power, forcing him to the point where he did not even have a chance to draw his sword.

Jianguo had nothing pressing to do at the moment. He washed his hands, grabbed a handful of Shanghai bok choy, blanched it briefly in the rich broth of the braised pig trotters, and draped it over the meat, instantly making it look much more appetizing.

It was because he had just attained sudden enlightenment regarding certain aspects of time, and this was his first time displaying it, which was why it appeared so powerful. In reality, its true destructive might was not quite that formidable.

However, just as he had sensed, Gu Feng had already locked onto every single trajectory of Lei Feng's escape.

Liu Mang wanted to place Mu Qianwei in the back seat so that Lu Mengyao could look after her, but Mu Qianwei refused to let go no matter what, hugging him tightly and weeping bitterly the entire time.

While Wu Yan was recovering his cultivation within the immortal pearl, quite a number of people outside were already searching for him. Within a radius of a thousand miles around the Four Alliances City, numerous disciples of the Four Alliances were out looking.

Upon leaving that region filled with scorching flames, the surrounding air temperature dropped precipitously, and looking off into the distance, people beheld a most unbelievable sight.

Seeing a sage arrive in person, the Arhats Subduing Dragons and Subduing Tigers, Shentong Gong, and the others were so terrified that they hurriedly dropped to their knees, not daring to lift their heads.

Hearing this, Su Yuan felt a pang of heartache, finally understanding why Kong Xuan suffered excruciating agony whenever he made a move—it turned out those floral threads had already burrowed deep into his vital organs.

As it turned out, Luo Li had waited for so long to no avail, wondering to herself if that fellow Liu Mang had been completely drained by Sister Lin last night and was now spent, or perhaps they were quietly engaged in something even more scandalous?

A stray spark grazed past Shuxiantao's cheek, leaving behind a bloody scratch, while another spark struck the Daoist crown atop Shuxiantao's head, instantly shattering the white jade crown into pieces. A large swath of his hair was singed, and most of his hair hung down in messy disarray.

The ice-cold Fairy Linglong not only possessed a breathtakingly frigid visage, but her bone-chilling aura also made her terribly difficult to approach. Ordinary men facing this glacial beauty would likely only dare to admire her from afar, without even the slightest thought of drawing closer.

Shao Yitu's explanation was seven parts true and three parts false, yet Gu Qingxue did not doubt a single word of it. Upon hearing that Bai Qi had sacrificed so much for her sake, her tender heart was instantly moved.

Guo Gao performed brilliantly in the next two plays, serving a high-quality ball to score directly, and then following up with a successful spike to score yet again.
