Chapter 53: Lady Yang

More than a hundred noble ladies, much like Lady Liu on her first visit to the Grandview Garden, reluctantly drifted away from the dressing table. Never in their lives had they seen a mirror so dazzling and flawless, its clarity unmatched. Before such a looking glass, all the finest brocade workshops and bronze mirrors paled into insignificance—it was as though a beggar were compared to a beauty of peerless charm, the difference as vast as heaven and earth.

...

“What is it you want to remind me of? Hurry up and say it, I’m in a rush to descend the mountain,” Kang Qiao said loudly, growing impatient after waiting a while for his father to speak.

Zeng Bingbing looked hesitantly at Huo Jingran and said, “Do you still need to rest? It doesn’t matter if you don’t return right away. I’ll try to remember slowly.” She was mostly worried about delaying Huo Jingran’s work.

After Wu Shixun finished signing autographs for his fans, his gaze unconsciously drifted toward Mo Linghuan. Seeing how frail she looked, his heart ached. The reporters pressed closer and closer, and Wu Shixun constantly worried they might harm Mo Linghuan. Was she still angry with him now?

Xuan Yuan Yeyan touched her nose. Even with her thick skin, she couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed under so many worshipful, envious, and even resentful stares.

“You don’t need to know. You must promise me—when you regain your memory, you will only recover the dearest ones, all right?” Dani gripped Mo Linghuan’s hand tightly, her eyes filled with hope.

“How could my plan ever go wrong? Everything is unfolding just as we intended!” Fei Lijuan replied with a smile.

Very well! She was ruthless indeed! Su Qingwan clenched her teeth, gazing deeply at Sheng Mingzhu. There was a look between them that only they could understand.

Hearing the other party’s words, A Jin nodded, half-understanding, then deftly picked up Ji Weiqing and carried her inside.

“No, you can’t…” Lin Xiaoxi’s dazed eyes suddenly cleared. She looked at Cecil, whose face was expressionless but whose eyes flashed with a cold light. Twisting in Chu Ci’s arms, she cried out.

An overwhelming aura swept out, and the enormous dragon’s maw opened wide as if it would devour everything.

This contract was remarkably lenient, perfectly suiting his needs. He could find no reason to object further.

That was the shadow chain she had mastered in her previous life, both offensive and defensive. Could she now transform the earth element within her into a shadow chain? Could she weave that chain into a vast protective net?

“Heh, yes, something did come up,” Nie Tianxing said with a laugh, then followed the others into the main hall.

“No, save me, Naruto!” Ziyuan cried as she looked back at Naruto, clung to him, and tears fell from her eyes.

The war had reached such a critical state that the Jin forces could barely withstand it. They had lost numerous cities and retreated to the southern part of Hebei and the area around Hedong and Taiyuan.

Hence, he decided to open the imperial city. The royal family, upon departure, took only a handful of ancient texts, and what they had found so far were merely superficial cultivation methods. None of the texts detailed what happened after the tribulation. If nothing could be found in the imperial city, they would have no choice but to attack Xing Mountain.

“Sorry, I really don’t have any seven-colored soul stones. I’d like to get some for myself too. If your Nanyu Island has any, I’m willing to buy at a high price.” For Nangong Ping, the seven-colored soul stones were, in fact, seven-colored soul spheres. He would never break them open—both he and his avatar needed them for cultivation.

Chouji gritted his teeth. “Human Boulder!” he cried, and withdrew his head and limbs into his clothes, rolling toward Kagezawa Jin. The rumbling sounds were immense, but in essence, it was just a huge ball of flesh rolling along.

Since Chu Qinghan’s fate had advanced, it proved his comprehension had also grown. With this improvement, did it mean that even reaching the Foundation Establishment stage now would no longer be so hard to accept?
