Chapter 1 Making Friends

After the drawing of lots concluded, Lilith quickly and deftly grabbed the arm of Lian Fei, who was heading toward the door, fearing that Lian Fei might disappear again. Such intimate contact made Lian Fei somewhat uncomfortable, her body stiffening.

“What’s wrong?” Lian Fei asked.

“Lian Fei, we’re good friends, right?” Lilith smiled. “My body hasn’t fully recovered yet. That doctor is completely unreliable—he bought me a nearly broken medical pod from the secondhand market! Saying something about—”

As they neared the rooftop, the music grew louder and louder. When they finally opened the door to the rooftop, the deafening sound made the blood surge wildly within Xiao Xiao’s veins.

After they spoke, paying no mind to whether Ajiu replied or not, they hurriedly left. The carriage was left with only Ajiu inside.

Bai Ye also looked toward Yin Yue. Though he did not know who Murong Jue was referring to, it had to be someone from the island. There were very few who could express murderous intent toward Yin Yue that Murong Jue would follow.

But his confidence didn’t last long because after several more attacks from Liao Yun, Ye Tianyun’s sword was suddenly cleaved in two.

Ye Feng recounted what he had seen to Golden Dog and Fan Jian. The two exchanged glances, their faces revealing fear.

Su Yuting, witnessing this scene, found herself forced to believe it despite her doubts, and angrily stormed away.

Mo Shaohang sat on the living room sofa, his eyes fixed intently on the door. When she opened it, she met his sharp gaze—like that of a hawk spotting its prey—evoking fear.

Official reports arrived for two consecutive days. On the third day, rumors of a flood in He Lane Town began circulating in Yicheng, said to have been brought by villagers recently returned from Shangyuan City.

Only after passing through the third town did an official inadvertently mention the title of Chancellor, revealing that all this was orchestrated by Sima Feng.

Murong Ou sensed faint breathing behind her and knew Mumu was just outside the door. Looking at Murong Yaoyao, she could only feel regret.

After searching everywhere, he still couldn't find her. Thinking it over, he chose to bite her soft cheek as punishment.

The Lianshan Demon Imprisonment Formation was an ancient array created many years ago; even if it remained unbroken today, it would inevitably collapse over time.

It was the custom of the theater: after each performance, the actors would carry their trays down from the stage to request tips from the audience.

Chu Pinghai glanced at the old man before saying, “Help me take a look at this.” Then he had Yun Wuyue explain his condition.

Yun Wuyue arrived late, initially intending to watch the spectacle, but unexpectedly, he too was targeted by another female who tried to abduct him while mounted on her steed.

Yuhua smiled softly as Sizhuo suddenly swept his chin with a feather, sending waves of gentle ticklishness coursing through his body.

Meixin spread her arms wide, waving eight red silk ribbons from her sleeves, each swiftly locking around the necks of eight burly men, dragging them before her to form a human barricade.

Seeing this, Miao Qingyun sneered slightly, stomping the ground forcefully, his body launching like a cannonball to evade Xu Shan’s attack.

“And what now? Can you say it all in one breath?” both Giant Stone and Grey Wolf exclaimed, unable to bear it any longer.

Grandma Mu, aware of the expensive hospital fees, patted his back with a kindly voice, never stating it outright, yet Mu Hua felt a dull ache in his heart.

But even after realizing the danger, his body could not react in time; he watched helplessly as the sword’s gleam descended, piercing the fish corpse’s head in an instant.

Xu Ziling gritted his teeth, suddenly turned around, bowed deeply to Sun Dian, then without looking back, sped toward Kou Chong’s location, smashing the skull of a cavalryman who had attempted to sneak attack Kou Chong with a single punch.

The eunuch held up the floating dust lamp, smiling as he said, “The miscellaneous sect has also entered. Keep an eye on the palace lanterns, and be sure not to let them extinguish.” With that, he entered as well.

The reason more were not brought along was not because the Crystal Palace could not accommodate them, but because Crystal City simply lacked more mares. After all, Sun Dian’s Crystal Palace only allowed females inside—even animals like horses were subject to this rule. Sun Dian expressed his helplessness, but as the Crystal Palace refused any exceptions, he had no choice.
