Chapter 49 Hold Me in Your Arms

Skywing Capital.

Early in the morning, A-Jiu was tending to the flowers and plants in the garden when suddenly a white spirit bird flew toward her, holding a letter in its beak.

A-Jiu took the letter, and the spirit bird immediately flew away.

Puzzled, A-Jiu unfolded the letter and saw that it was addressed to the young mistress.

Holding the letter, A-Jiu ran back to the bedchamber, "Young mistress, someone wrote to you..."

She Yu scratched her bald head and asked curiously, clearly having seen the previous shadow walker completely unresponsive to lightning strikes, so why did this one react so violently?

The fat man who had argued with Zhou Cheng during the day was murdered in the side room. His limbs were broken and grotesquely twisted against his torso, and his plump head, with eyes wide open in anger, was likewise twisted a full 180 degrees. The scene was extremely gruesome and bizarre, causing even Zhou Cheng, who had witnessed plenty of horrors, to raise an eyebrow in shock.

However, she did nothing, slowly shifting her gaze away and locking her eyes onto the cabin entrance, where a rush of hurried footsteps could be heard.

Hearing this, Liu Muying, Chen Danqing, and Su Hanlin all trembled around her, feeling utterly terrified.

Although Ouyuan Lan had no intention of investing a single cent in this so-called overseas enterprise, since he was here to negotiate today, he had to put on the appropriate appearance for a negotiation. Agreeing too easily would only arouse suspicion among the Ou family members.

Ji Ruomin did not answer him in words; instead, she leaned forward with her begonia-like upper body, willingly casting herself into her lover's embrace.

The assassin looked in agony at Lei Zhen before him, looking at the hall master who had been fighting side by side with him just moments ago, never expecting that he would ultimately die at the hands of his own people. In his eyes were lingering resentment and regret, but it was already too late for everything.

Past noon, the sun was no longer blinding, dark clouds drifted by from time to time, and a gentle breeze blew—a wonderfully carefree feeling.

Gu Xiyun had frequently been fulfilling promotional schedules lately, taking on fashion events and brand endorsements. Backed by the strong push from her agency, almost all of the company's best resources were given to Gu Xiyun, causing her fame to skyrocket instantly.

Witnessing this scene, everyone regained confidence in the Engineering University; this was definitely not a fraudulent school.

The officials and gentry straightened up. Then, Han Chengli, the Prefect of Luoyang, stepped forward and delivered a lengthy speech of welcome and the like. He spoke with flying spittle and an endless stream of words, carrying an air that was practically akin to lining up two rows of children holding fresh flowers and shouting, "Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!"

"Sweeping the Eight Directions" Auster, swept up in the thrill of slaughter, let out a great roar. Wielding his sharp blade, he swept across a thousand armies, and none could withstand his momentum.

"A higher level?" Yi Yongheng wondered in perplexity. Harmonization of the six pulses was already extremely high; how could there be an even higher level?

Yet she could do nothing about it, because reality was precisely this. Ever since entering this bizarre, magic-suppressing space of the Titan Continent, Blood-Stained had displayed virtually no performance achievements aside from that one time relying on the hornet's smoke explosion to snatch Mo Nusha; it was always Bai Lu and I charging into the thick of battle.

Hu San nodded repeatedly. Galloping all the way across the hundreds of miles from Chang'an to Luoyang, this military man was truly exhausted. As for why carrier pigeons weren't used for notification, neither Li Zhi nor Li Ji probably possessed the authority to command the Investigation Bureau, leaving them no choice but to travel the post roads.

As they walked into the Taiji Palace, palace lanterns were lit one by one, illuminating every corner of the palace.

Li Dao was stricken with great terror, knowing that this time Zhao Yuehuai would by no means let the matter rest easily. Moreover, judging by Zhao Yuehuai's demeanor, it seemed as though she might draw her sword against him at any second. Now, he could neither defeat her in a fight nor reason with her in words—what was he to do?

Sunny's original speed was already not low. With "Beast Blood Berserk" doubling all attributes, her speed naturally tripled as well. Now that she had also activated "Crossing a Thousand Armies," her speed was pushed to the absolute limit. Judging by speed values alone, it had reached at least over 400, making her speed virtually twice that of Bai Lu's.
