Chapter 128: Is This for Real?

Before, Dong Yuxiang had repeatedly targeted Lu Fei, but Lu Fei bore no grudge against him, for all his actions were motivated by his care for Dong Yue. A father’s love is understandable.

However, Lu Fei now saw clearly that Dong Yuxiang was a complete failure. His reluctance to thoroughly investigate the case of Dong Yue’s mother was not merely out of fear of the murderer’s influence. More importantly, he himself was deeply entangled in the matter, having gained something from it...

He An unleashed the terrifying flames emanating from the Blazing Giant Tiger toward Chu Feng. Wherever the flames passed, everything burned; even the ice cold enough to freeze fire melted away in an instant.

“Very well!” Princess Yunyang, worried for her father and mother, was eager to learn more about Yanmen City. Upon hearing this, she made her decision without hesitation.

When the egg’s long tongue extended, a milky voice murmured, “Thank you, master~!” The chopsticks clattered crisply onto the plate. The child’s voice was like snow—frozen snow—staring blankly at the orb, clearly startled.

Several people were flung backward violently, crashing against the doors and windows of nearby shops, their fates unknown.

The sound abruptly ceased. Zhao Ran looked awkwardly at the scene before him, even suspecting that if he hadn’t barged in, those two might have ended up kissing.

Before him stood a tall iron gate, entwined with climbing roses in full bloom, lending the scene a strangely poetic beauty.

The maidservant, trembling with fear, knelt on the ground with a pale face, sobbing and begging for mercy.

During his patrol, Su Shang uncovered numerous issues. Some of the prominent families had yet to comply with the land withdrawal order. They colluded with local officials to falsify reports, deceiving their superiors. On the surface, they appeared to have withdrawn their lands, but secretly continued to control tenants and land through various means.

Wang Zhengshan nodded, then smiled bitterly. “Master, you’re being modest. Your actual combat strength isn’t less than mine—it’s clearly even greater.”

The elderly man in the blue robe, halfway through his escape, was shocked. Instinctively, he said, “It’s all over!” At this critical juncture, just as the enemy was on the brink of despair, an astonishing turn of events unfolded.

Although Jiang Xinghuo had told him the method and arranged this deal behind the scenes, he had already prepared himself for the possibility of an exorbitant demand.

Yun Huifeng, standing close by, grabbed Yun Huilu and slapped him hard across the face, sending him crashing to the ground.

After several inexplicable requests from Lin Xu, everyone had grown accustomed to simply fetching whatever he asked for without questioning why—since he never explained.

In her view, with over a dozen semi-divine ranked judges on the arena, she should not die.

Ji Man slowly closed her eyes, showing no intention to resist. Chen Nan could even smell her faint fragrance and feel the warmth of her breath.

Those who followed Lady Yun Xu into the room, as well as those inside, shuddered upon hearing this.

Yu Qian pointed at the thin layer of dust on their boots. Ji Gang’s eyes instantly sharpened.

Under normal circumstances, Zhao Hu, severely wounded, would have died from such a fall. Yet now, Zhao Hu’s situation was extraordinary. The super-blood corpse had held him for some time without crushing him, which had its own reasons.

Upon entering the gate, the first thing one saw was a grand hall. The hall was splendidly decorated, with servants bustling about busily.

If this were any other city without divine protection, the external evil spirits devouring the people would only grow stronger, causing even greater harm.

Just as the rabbit was about to disappear, suddenly the snow beneath it gave way, and the entire rabbit sank into the snow, not resurfacing for a long while.
