Volume One, Chapter 70: Anyway, I Am Certainly Not Wen Ning

"Let me strive to find you in the capital city."

A few words were enough to leave Yan Qiuning utterly distraught. She could not distinguish whether he spoke truth or falsehood, yet somewhere deep within, she sensed this was the true emotion she possessed.

Suddenly, the disc erupted in dazzling white light, and at the same time, the surrounding space began to tremble.

Everyone fixed their gaze on Liu Yang; he too examined them in return. Many felt discomfort under his direct stare—who looked at people so brazenly without any sense of propriety? Clearly, he was nothing but a country bumpkin.

As an outsider from the West, she faced obstacles at every turn during her exploration after landing. She barely gathered any information before being chased by guards, rumored to be spies.

This time, not only did he heal all his injuries, but he also underwent a true transformation of bone and marrow.

Tang Yun drew out a bundle of silver needles from her bosom and repeatedly pierced her father’s acupoints. Her pristine forehead was soon covered in a sheen of fine sweat.

After being reproached by Shangguan Rumeng, Princess Zhupa felt extremely embarrassed and pressed her palms together in reverence to Jin Tian.

Southeast Asia lies close to China, deeply influenced by its philosophy; not only the country X, but even the Star Nation values loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness.

Hou Junji squinted, pondering the authenticity of Li Moyun’s words. Li Moyun was patient; now that everything was on the table, it was worth waiting for Hou Junji’s reaction before making plans.

"Peak of the first stage of Silver Moon Realm—I truly wonder if you’re even human," Zi Lingxuan looked at Liu Yang with a half-smile.

Mentioning Shangguan Yunfeng, a proud expression appeared on Shangguan Yunmeng’s delicate face as she began to eloquently recount Yunfeng’s life and achievements for Liu Yang.

"Nirvana is bound to sap one’s vitality; Phoenix Flame is rare enough—why bother?" As he battled Bai Cang, Xia Yuxing suddenly relaxed his grip, and the twin thunder-blazing spears shot forward along golden lightning. Amidst the deep red, a mournful cry echoed once more.

Mu Zichen’s face turned ashen at the mention of "suspicious points," his mind buzzing and confused.

He was utterly unaware that while he daydreamed on the rooftop, the people below were also staring up at him, lost in thought.

Koga Tanisuri swiftly analyzed Moka and Kazuko’s actions and abruptly realized their intentions.

Seeing this, the roommates all agreed that Nan Yu Xi was at her loneliest now—an opportunity for Xiao Yun. One after another, they called Xiao Yun.

Thus, Sasha chose not to call the police; she thought like Lang Jun, determined to do everything possible to find Lai Mingwu and kill this scoundrel.

Zhao Zheng grimaced in pain; no matter how fierce, everyone feared discipline. In such circumstances, even the toughest would kneel.

Yet none imagined Yun Yishu’s certainty. Though she never spoke it aloud, she was now Su Li’s slave—no matter how she left, she faced no danger.

A few strides brought him close; the group was startled by a terrifying aura and turned to see it was Su Li, which surprised them.

But on reflection, with his age and only one son, Xiang Heng, whom he had nurtured with care for over a century, pouring countless effort into raising him to the first stage of Heavenly Barrier Profound Realm—a status that gave him standing in the clan—he felt bitterly unwilling to accept Xiang Heng’s death at the hands of Duanmu Huan.

"Want me to walk with you a bit longer?" Outside the department store, Ye Feng asked Dongfang Ziqing.

"Shouldn’t you tell me your name first?" I arched my brows, feigning ease, though I wondered what terms he would offer.

All along, I thought the barrier was useless, but for the first time, I realized its true value.

"Let’s go!" Nightshade called out, then carried Rhodesia and started running down the road.

He was now tracking Carrot’s spaceship, wanting to know where Earth was. Though he’d seen information on Bai Suzhen’s birthplace, Earth, in her records, there was no guarantee that the planet in that life was the Earth of later generations.

"Thank you, Courtesan, thank you! I’ll go and fetch today’s earnings for you!" With that, he tried to flee out the door.

"Can we leave now? Isn’t it enough not to take the dragon scale?" Linghu Yixue stared at Qingluo and asked.

Because they never intervened in the conflicts between the righteous and demonic sects of the cultivation world, they remained unknown. Yet in secret, whenever they handled affairs, they always eliminated witnesses, leaving no loose ends—thus few knew of them.

"Madam Zhao, your son’s matter has been noted by this palace. Tomorrow, I will send someone to inform the Department of Officials. Go home and await news," Princess Yuping commanded with regal arrogance, her royal dignity displayed to the fullest.

"Stop pretending—when the moon is full, it’s when we Saiyans show our strength!" Raditz looked at Sun Wukong as if he were an idiot. Though Wukong was unfazed, the others present understood well.

The two elderly ladies sat across from each other, sipping tea and exposing each other’s secrets. Though furious inside, they refused to lower their posture, maintaining dignified elegance, sitting up straight as they exchanged barbed comments—a scene both tense and amusing.

Cao Bin felt guilty under Yuchi Jingde’s glare, sensing he might once again be on the general’s sparring list—a truly terrifying prospect.

Imperial Physician Fang solemnly took Bing Ling’er’s pulse; his white beard, resembling hair, made Bing Ling’er’s hand itch, and she could hardly resist the urge to snip it off!

Perhaps the neon lights outside were too dreamlike, or maybe Gao Shiqing’s expression had been too bitter, so that Jiang Ran’s words escaped her lips without passing through her mind.

His words did not deter everyone from giving gifts; Zhang Hao felt the presents increased, marveling at how generously these people spent on streamers.

Death was hardly fortunate, but compared to being devoured by snow leeches or wild beasts, preserving the body was luckier. Zhou Qi sighed, reburied the corpse, planted a black bamboo stick, then used ice magic to solidify the snow before standing up.

The attendant was relieved; the more distinguished the guest, the stranger their temper. She hadn’t expected this VIP to be so agreeable.

Only when the sounds of the Divine Fire Winged Lizard’s wingbeats and roars faded completely did the city’s residents breathe easy. Soon the Azure Barrier dissolved, the water curtain gathered into a column, snaking back to the lake, though the water level had dropped considerably—a testament to the creature’s terrifying breath.

He Cheng replied honestly, "I already tasted it earlier." Seeing the prince still watching him insistently, he quickly handed over the fine white porcelain cup.
