Volume One, Chapter 42: The Turmoil of the Yan Family, The Parasite

As a true friend, Yan Shu felt compelled to add, “My sister’s situation is complicated. Ninth Brother, take it easy.”
Because of those few men, his sister was almost transformed into someone else entirely.
Qin Zhan felt a pang of displeasure and calmly changed the subject, “Have you had dinner with the director of the Civil Engineering Bureau yet?”
Ya Weilun clenched his teeth tightly and raised his head; the warrior, bearing the weight of fate, forced back the tears that nearly fell.
Standing at one meter eighty-three, Lu Yu had a slight advantage in height. He lowered his head, speaking to Zhou Rui. After finishing, he turned away, slightly embarrassed, no longer meeting Zhou Rui’s eyes, for her worried gaze was too bright, watching him like a cherished pet.
For some reason, over the past few months, the Xuanming Abyss, dormant for a millennium, had suddenly erupted with countless streams of demonic energy, spreading in all directions.
When it came to the title of Bai Jun, Lu Yu couldn’t help but feel his whole body go numb. Not only was his own cultivation insignificant, but even in his previous life, he suspected he would not have been a match for Bai Jun.
Chen Jing was startled by the sudden turn of events. She had thought that [Crystal Zero], with its low attack power, was just there to absorb hits. Now, it was clear things were far from what she expected.
“Admit defeat! You’re no match for us!” King Huo Xin frowned as Weak Water still stood in their way. Their recent clash had left their blood surging restlessly.
Jiang Ling gripped the twin diamond-shaped crystal and immediately felt his energy recovery speed increase dramatically. Probing further with his mind, he discovered the stored energy within and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
A massive black sun was imprinted on his chest. Apart from the slash and the sword, his body was now covered with slender, winding black lines, wrapping around him entirely.
The spiritual power within Xu Changfeng surged in waves, crazily pouring forth. In the next instant, it reached a peak. He threw his head back and howled at the sky, the sound like a bear’s roar. The visible soundwaves rippled outward, shattering space.
“Hmph, President Lin is furious right now and refuses to see anyone. Don’t waste your time!” Chen Yuqian said, dragging me up from the seat.
Not only Qin Jiaxing, but Qin Zongsheng and his brothers clenched their fists, their faces full of anger.
As the words faded, the strong light scattered, black ice dissipated like faint smoke, and the Flame Demon strode forward. His right index finger pointed ahead, sending a thread of fire toward Yu Mei, the Divine Feather.
Lin Qingxuan responded absentmindedly, already feeling overwhelmed. Fortunately, the day had finally come when he reached the gates of Azure Cloud Sect.
“Don’t move!” Mo Jingxuan ignored her words, gently exhaling, his face flushed as he looked down at her lips moving.
“Sister Tao, you wouldn’t mind if I kissed you, would you?” Hong Bo said in a low voice, blushing.
The Eighth Prince’s open defiance of the emperor would leave a mark in his father’s heart, and Consort Yu’s attempt to shield him would inevitably involve her as well.
“Cat!” Ming Chen, who had been watching intently, cried out heartbreakingly and scrambled toward her.
On the road, Xiahou Lan encountered two groups of Yellow Turban soldiers, one of over a hundred, the other just forty. Both were efficiently eliminated by their forces.
At only three years old, she sweetly chased after him, calling him brother, saying he was adorable and that she liked him best.
If Qin Mu relied on his son to stir up trouble outside, Qin Shu would need to take a stand. Otherwise, the consequences that followed would be unbearable. Both her and Qin Mu’s safety still lay in Rong Xun’s hands. If they behaved themselves, she would remain empress, and Qin Mu could continue his good life.
Moreover, this was only the outermost region, while Gu Yue extended the radius of the Flow Difference Three by five kilometers. Within this expanded area, any large-scale development would mean triple the time gained.
