Chapter Forty-Eight: Consider Another Way

Hu Sanqi always taught people to “stop at just the right point.” He said, “I can show you how to eat, but I won’t chase you down to feed you.”

Giatelov still retained some sense; he knew that rushing out like this, even if he wasn’t buried by the avalanche, he could very well freeze to death. But the situation was urgent, and he had no other choice. He could only first escape the avalanche, and then return to the tent to retrieve his clothes.

It seemed that, after all her talking, she never really got to the heart of the matter. She only ever went halfway, leaving everything for others to guess in frustration.

As luck would have it, Zhan Wuji was standing right in front of her. When she collapsed, she fell right onto his chest.

So, the first fifteen days didn’t count toward the rent. Similarly, the house that Lu Feiming was renting could also be his for another fifteen days, after which Liu Qian would reclaim it, and any prepaid rent would not be refunded.

“Why is this happening?” Ye Huanyan was utterly baffled. Her master’s domain had become hers?

Naturally, it couldn’t be like the Buddhist way—always agreeable, always benevolent, smiling at the world as Maitreya Buddha does, seeking to save all living things. Putting aside her tangled thoughts, Ye Xian’er’s tone lightened considerably; only then did Ye Sange slowly pull her hand back, afraid that her fearless and headstrong elder sister might once again act beyond anyone’s control.

For the first time, Su Hang referred to Lu Zhixing as “husband” in front of others. To her surprise, it slipped out quite naturally—not nearly as awkward as she’d imagined.

It was obvious that Huang Guangyuan and Shi Shuqing shared an unusual bond, and that he enjoyed mentoring the younger generation.

The four legs, as if lacking any agreement, each ran in a different direction, refusing to yield to one another, and finally, driven by inertia, all crashed headfirst into the ground and could not rise again.

“Calm down, calm down, not every coffin is going to produce a corpse. Right, right—not every coffin produces a corpse.” Zhou Suyi tried to comfort herself.

“All three marshals, say no more. The Emperor already knows of this matter. It’s true that the chaos in the Heavenly Secrets Realm was instigated by agents of the Underworld. These people will, of course, be brought to justice after the war. But then again, for such a vast realm to be so easily subverted, there must be unstable elements within.”

Even Teacher Li and Qu Tang knew that Tang Tiantian had made a good friend in the senior class—her deskmate, Li Jiajia.

But as the gentle and elegant Prime Minister Ji, even if he felt a trace of anger, nothing in his expression betrayed it.

Neither the royal princes nor the empresses and concubines in the palace wished for Noble Consort Zhang to safely deliver her child.

“Get lost! If you keep acting so phony, don’t bother coming again.” Jun Modao laughed heartily as he shouted.

Even so, they still did their best to investigate and ultimately concluded it was an accidental drowning.

The Green Coin Sword spun in his hand, casting a flourish; he took a step back, channeled his vital energy into the blade, and began to draw upon the Yin-Yang forces of the sky to counter Long Ju.

“You come to my door for a visit, and you’re just going to leave like this? Take my gift in return!” Mo Xiu barked coldly, his voice laced with ice, as the warhead thundered toward the ground.

“Seriously? There are really people like that?” Ling Suihan found it hard to believe. She had studied many martial arts, including some that split stones and cracked monuments, but they were extremely difficult to master. Turning one’s own body into bronze and iron was even more inconceivable.

This belief seemed to have long since taken root in the hearts of all those of the True Realm. Thus, they never regarded those who ascended from the Void Realm as true people—only as livestock, slaves, or materials for alchemy.

Then, Xibi and several other Silver Spear warriors stepped forward to offer their congratulations. After all, with the great battle imminent, the leader’s strength being enhanced was certainly a cause for celebration.
