Chapter 48: Little Liar

Or perhaps, the entity currently chatting with Bai Ge might be a completely activated Abyss Relic, one that had usurped this big shot's personality, made such a response, and was now tricking Bai Ge into walking to his death?

With the general election approaching, this was no mere gossip, but a major news story capable of shaking the election results.

Although this simultaneously sealed Speaker Randolph's own sneak attack, for him, simply crushing the opposition head-on with an overwhelming force was more than enough.

He never expected that Ye Chen would be completely impervious to reason and bribes, not caring much about the treasure at all.

Seeing Natasha's expectant gaze, Li Xiaohui reluctantly left his command room.

Xia Tian shook her head decisively. She absolutely could not yield to Amanda; she refused to let Amanda think of her as a coward, and she would never bow down to her. This was no longer just a simple matter of dignity.

The man then sighed, used a lighter to set fire to Zhang Youyi's photograph, and dropped the burning picture into the ashtray.

Ailian put down the newspaper in her hands with a huff and looked at Bai Ge, who was sitting across the sofa with an innocent expression on his face.

Hua Nan lazily crawled up. Judging by his appearance, he hadn't fully woken up yet. Had Bai Li turned his head, he would have laid eyes on a masterpiece of a beauty just waking from sleep.

Lu Nishang nodded and asked, "Are you okay now?" Well, that was stating the obvious... The two stared at each other for a moment longer before both simultaneously averted their gaze.

In the eyes of many high-ranking officials, this act was merely a display of Jun Qiluo's audacity, yet it earned the jealousy of many maids within the palace. However, they were not envious of Jun Qiluo, but rather of Lesheng and Luyao for their good fortune in having such a protective mistress. For humble maidservants like them, encountering a kind and protective mistress was a profound piece of luck.

Inside the room, Lehua and Lege had already arrived. Because the dagger needed to be removed and the wound treated, Long Yin and Wuying, without waiting for Jun Qiluo's command, left for outside the house.

"It's fine. Now that Biyun is acting as my eyes, I don't have to worry at all!" Ye Feng said with a smile. Watching Wen Biyun's cheeks flush with a deeply satisfied look, a wave of fulfillment washed over Ye Feng. Sometimes, a man's greatest need is precisely this kind of fulfillment.

One wave had barely subsided when another rose. Han Wei's hanging heart could never find peace, and the only thing he could do was wait. Seeing Han Wei's anxiety, Li Hua decided to divert his attention by bringing up the secret of the Imperial Jade Seal once again, this time even bringing an enlarged image of the seal.

Shao Fei had already wrapped up all the affairs of the battalion, and for the upcoming month, he would dedicate himself entirely to preparing for the soon-to-begin Battle of Xuzhou.

Xiwei Jinlian was stunned. Fine, tonight it is then. But what kind of surprise could possibly be seen in this thing? Whatever, if he wanted to play the mystery, she would let him. Seeing Zhan Bai grinding stones in the basement like a laborer these past few days had been quite tiring, so she would let him make it up to her.

His Dantian, Nascent Soul, and Spiritual Platform were all intact, and the immortal spiritual energy within his meridians circulated smoothly without any abnormalities. The only problem was that he simply couldn't wake up the mischievous little guy.

"What did the doctor say? When will he fully wake up?" Li Hua was the most anxious. He hadn't informed Liu Shi's family all along precisely because he didn't want them to worry, but such a matter couldn't be kept secret forever. He wanted to wait until Liu Shi was slightly better—at least able to speak normally—before telling them immediately.

"You'd better ask Luo Shanxi," Earth Traveler Sun said, refusing to pay them any further mind. Originally, he hadn't wanted to speak at all and didn't care about them in the slightest, but needing labor forced him to open his mouth.

Qin Xuan was planning to find time to auction off a top-grade medicinal cauldron at an auction house, but since he had found a supreme-grade medicinal cauldron right here, it saved him a lot of trouble.

The sole reason was that this Ink-Horned Xuanbing Snake possessed a trace of extremely faint Primordial Nether Dragon bloodline.

"So that wasteland in the south will depend on you. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask your senior brothers, or just ask me directly," Old Man Xu added immediately.

Yet this place, dubbed by the world as a gathering place of demons and evil spirits, was the final sanctuary protecting the wandering souls. One had to admit, this was a supreme irony.

He had always wanted to make his feelings known, but unfortunately, one incident after another continually deprived him of the opportunity to confess his love to her.

Yet thinking that his adopted son was still missing, a trace of deep worry inevitably stained his gentle brows.

Cheng Mian was stunned for a moment. This was the first time Yin Wei had taken the initiative to kiss him—an unexpected and delightful surprise.

Cheng Mian narrowed his deep eyes, a fleeting, ambiguous expression flashing across his brows. He did not like forcing others against their will.

Inside the Nine-Death Hall, the soul of the Northern Sea Divine Nun kept her eyes tightly closed, as if indifferent to anything happening in the outside world.

Because he was in a rush when he came, he hadn't driven, but trying to hail a cab at this hour was indeed somewhat unsafe.

At this moment, Wang Yuyang had no idea what he should do, nor did he know how to process his own thoughts.

Qin Yang also recognized the leading elder; it was Elder Wu Jiang, who had come to the Nine Domains looking for the Soul-Sealing Pearl last time.

Because the wind was too strong, it was impossible for me to see the situation ahead clearly. I had no choice but to block my eyes with my hand, catching glimpses of the surroundings with my peripheral vision.
