Chapter 75: Am I Out of My Mind?

“Elder sister, you are truly stunning! I adore the Southern Frontier; I simply must study their clothing in detail. When we return to the capital, I’ll hand my notes to Ni Ran—she’ll be absolutely thrilled!” Shen Yanling exclaimed.

The dense, almost tangible black aura that had once seemed to pierce the heavens and the earth had already grown much fainter under Yan Manman’s fierce attacks. Now, with the protective shield shattered and the resulting upheaval, even more of the ominous energy was dispersed.

“Elder sister, are we really going to do as Young Master Shen suggested? I can’t help but feel he’s plotting something,” Xia Xi said worriedly.

“He’s a clever man, and clever men always want everything firmly under their control,” someone at his side replied, though this answer seemed to draw the other’s displeasure.

“Just wipe it off, or else you won’t be able to face Father these next few days,” Weisheng Xue said, laughing heartily before turning and walking away.

Judging by the average age of horses, the prince was still a child at heart. He trotted to Ye Mu, snorting repeatedly as if to ask why Ye Mu hadn’t come to see him. Then he ducked his head and affectionately nuzzled his long face against Ye Mu’s embrace.

No one can be lucky all their life; perhaps misfortune will strike someday. It’s best to prepare for the worst.

“Tomorrow will reveal all,” Consort Yu said with a shake of her head, unwilling to elaborate. She changed into more comfortable clothes and went to see her child.

“No need, thank you. I’ll pay the bill myself,” Junxiu smiled at the dean, taking a credit card from his wallet.

Wang Dian picked up a French fry and ate it. It tasted exactly like the KFC in his own world, but as soon as he remembered this place was called “Pit-cky Fried Chicken,” his body tensed in discomfort.

Ling Moxian’s tall, slender figure trembled slightly. The flush that began at the tips of his ears now spread across his handsome face. He closed his eyes quietly, waiting for her to vent her anger.

Since the age of three, after he began sleeping apart from his parents, his mother had worried that he wouldn’t adjust. Every Saturday, she would sleep with him.

She hadn’t thought much of it at the time; whenever a new style was released, she’d set one aside for him. Over time, the collection simply grew.

Fan Qing’s complexion was rather poor. She didn’t have the courage to barge in here, after all.

Next, a silent wave of blade energy swept through them. In the next instant, their heads or bodies were severed and eerily began to float upwards within the spatial barrier.

Su Yue couldn’t help feeling a little lost. She didn’t even know how many people lived in Ling Moxian’s household; compared to him, she really was worlds apart.

Qin Mu thought to herself, Don’t forget, you’re the one who wants a divorce. If I can’t pay off the debt, we’ll just split the assets according to the law, and I’ll never have to work a day in my life. So what are a few debts to me?

Shen Lanfeng was exasperated. He’d only speculated in private—he hadn’t said anything aloud. Who could be so foolish as to ask their own son about it?

Although the director, Ning Hao, was said to be a newcomer, he was at least a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy’s directing program. How could he have made such a glaring plot blunder?

Regardless of what kind of fairy she was, exposing herself so brazenly—how could the family’s reputation withstand such a scandal? If you want to survive, you have to be controlled, to monitor others’ every move. Just thinking about it was thrilling.

“Haha, everyone, let’s not get carried away! After all, Qianzhou still hasn’t been conquered!” Yang Wo told everyone not to celebrate too soon, but he himself could hardly stop grinning.

The entrance to Yuan Zhen Sect was also in the Changbai Mountains, our destination. Not only does Yuan Zhen Sect reside there, but it’s also where the Five Immortals train. This is why Yuan Zhen Sect is stronger than other sects. Everyone knows that Qingyun was once a snake that cultivated and attained its current form.

With that, I hurriedly jumped out of the car. He Yuhui shot me a glare. “Who would miss you, you rascal? Hmph!” With that, she drove off. Watching her car disappear, I shook my head. Silly girl! Did she think I hadn’t noticed the redness in her eyes?

I’d also heard that one of the victims a few rooms away was known for a rather bad temper at times.

Lin Yi felt the pressure. If they ganged up together, even if Chu’er and the others were fine, those with weaker abilities, like Keke and Nalan Ruyan, might be in danger.

“Heavenly Emperor of the Nine Skies, Lord of Thunder’s Punishment, Celestial Lightning to expel evil, by the power of the law—go!” Suddenly, an incantation resounded in the sky, and a divine thunderbolt struck straight down at Wang Chao.

Lin Yi nodded with a smile. This girl was clever enough—temporarily siding with me to save her own life. It was a fair trade.

Mo Yi, just returning from the banquet, heard Shi Muting’s words and couldn’t help but look up at their president from behind.

“Hehe, I really don’t want to see him. Senior Yan is injured, so I’ll take my leave. When Tian Wuyu returns, please tell him my sister and I have arrived.” With that, she withdrew from the hut.

Wenqi rubbed his eyes. He vaguely remembered Zhulan Tuya approaching him through the wind and snow, leaning on this very bronze staff. Wenqi looked around, but there was no sign of Zhulan Tuya anywhere.

Suddenly, dinner had lost all flavor. Both Wenqi and Musa were preoccupied with their own thoughts, but neither spoke.

“All right then, since you’re busy, we won’t call you this time. Let’s catch up properly next time. I’m off,” Duan Zan said, waving to Su Jiu before turning to leave.

After calling out, Lin Chengxi finally realized something was wrong. From the beginning, the ship hadn’t risen at all; it was simply hovering without descending.

The World Tree’s spirit root was truly bizarre, able to enhance the intelligence of monsters. If this became widely known, it would surely cause an uproar among players. However, only Ye Kong had witnessed it, ensuring the secret would remain.

Finally, Lu Qi’s twin spheres of ice and fire shot towards Star Lord, soaring skywards. Lu Qi and Lin Chengxi then leapt onto the ice sphere, hiding somewhere Star Lord couldn’t find them.

Beneath the banner stood a censer, a pair of candles, three straw dolls, and three talismans. He wrote his name and birthdate on one talisman and stuck it onto the central straw doll.

Once Lu Lu nodded, Lin Chengxi prepared to leave, shooting Lu Qi a glare on his way out.

That’s also why Sweet Potato hasn’t touched me—fifty million is no small sum. He definitely won’t let me off so easily.
