Chapter 64: Jiuyou Falls Unconscious

At break of dawn on the second day, with the morning mist still lingering, Xiao Yan had already set up a grill in the inn's backyard.

Honey-glazed chicken wings sizzled over the flames, and as he periodically flipped the iron skewers, his gaze kept wandering toward the second-floor guest rooms.

It wasn't until he spotted that familiar moon-white figure appearing at the top of the stairs that he hurriedly waved, calling out, "Jiuyou, come and eat! I made sure to brush an extra layer of honey on them this morning."

In Ning Jiuyou's hair, droplets of water had yet to completely dry, and a customary smile bloomed at the corners of his lips.

At this hour, even if Lord Lu wasn't at the Defender-General's Estate, he surely shouldn't be lingering outside the side courtyard gates of the Marquis of Yongning's Estate, should he?

Yet, wisps of visible black vapor were rising from his body, swirling around him to form grotesque and eerie ghostly faces.

Through specialized techniques, the environmental changes of that moment were recreated, confirming that Fangyan had indeed floated away into the air from the back door of the police station.

In just the blink of an eye, he calmed his emotions and composure, cupped his fists, and offered a junior's greeting: "Junior Lin Maiyuan, pays respects to Senior." He was the seventh-realm powerhouse who had filled Dong Heng and the other monarchs with grave solemnity—the Peak-Breaking Blade, Lin Maiyuan.

The results of Xiao Taihong's search matched precisely what Luo Tianwang had described; Xiao Taihong had already met his end, leaving behind only his severely damaged skeleton in his home. Even a portion of his bones had been gnawed away by this monster, making for a truly tragic and gruesome sight.

When a person is in the heat of anger, how much rationality remains to care whether their words are inappropriate or lacking in tact?

Qingxiang curtsied in acknowledgment, and then proceeded to list everything An Sheng had eaten for dinner in complete detail.

"Tuanjie, congratulations! To have achieved such monumental success just after entering the Hall of Fame!" Li Tuanjie and the other two gathered with Sun Dahei to celebrate the occasion.

The two of us carried him over and then ran back to the iron door to observe. The people inside clearly hadn't heard the commotion outside and continued their discussion in their original postures.

If placed in the real world, the mere hook of "mysterious transcendence is also listening" would be enough to cause a sensation.

"Are you not going to take me inside to meet your parents? My mother is waiting for them to discuss the wedding arrangements." Not a trace of hesitation could be detected in her water-calm gaze.

Guo Feiyu grabbed Murong Lianxin's hand and shoved her away forcefully. Murong Lianxin staggered back a few steps before being caught by the maid behind her. Clutching her hand, she cried out in pain.

"I'm fine, but Yang Lefang asked me to pass along a message: one week from now, bring your brothers, and meet by the banks of the Yibei River," Yumei said, then turned and left.

"Immediately send someone to escort you to make them at that restaurant, or dispatch men to bring the ingredients back from the restaurant," the old madam said without a moment's hesitation.

Yet as he said this, Su Fazhao's ears turned completely red. Anyone with even a sliver of romantic experience could tell what was going on.

She had seen it clearly enough—her grandfather was in a towering rage. She had never witnessed her grandfather vent such fury upon her father before.

Bizhu hastily rose, her hands and feet nimble as she skillfully dressed Lin Hanxi. Just as she was fastening the frog buttons at the collar, she discovered a hickey on Lin Hanxi's snowy neck. Though the color was not deep, it stood out with striking clarity against Lin Hanxi's exceptionally fair skin.

With that, he smiled gently at the two of them, his fair face flushed with a bashful pink. Mu Zhihan froze for a moment, genuinely feeling a sense of deep familiarity, yet where could she have seen him before?

Most people can only perceive a single magic element in their lifetimes. Of course, there are a very, very small number of exceptional individuals who can sense all four elements simultaneously; they are known as four-element dual-cultivation mages.

Having said this, Yang Yin gazed at Luzheng with fanatical eyes, much like a crazed fan on the street stumbling upon their idol of worship.

Fu Yanqing probably guessed Zhao Kuangyin's plan as well. Once he obtained this news, he would surely grant Zhao Kuangyin military command. At that time, holding great military power under the pretext of resisting the Khitans, Zhao Kuangyin could simply turn his troops around and strike back at Bianliang, making himself emperor.
