Chapter 46: The King of Curses (Part Seven)

What set this apart was that the purple light was far deeper and more obscure than the usual glow he emitted when wielding his magic; even a mere glance revealed a palpable, unsettling malevolence emanating from it.

“By the way, have you heard any rumors within the palace?” Madam Li pondered, intrigued by Madam Liu’s behavior.

After speaking, he realized he had misspoken and sank down in his seat. Because of this, for thirteen years, he had never once come to see Eighteen.

Lady Eighteen had turned Fan Yang’s world upside down, then, alongside Li Ziqi, dusted off their sleeves and set out on a distant journey.

His concubine, inherited from his cousin, upon learning of this, calmly packed her belongings and, under cover of night, took Li Qianzhi’s three-year-old child to seek refuge in Zhao Commandery.

“Ping’an usually appears sharp and clever, yet today, in front of so many, she didn’t defend herself with a single word. If it weren’t for my people being there, wouldn’t she have been falsely accused?” Yin Qianhua said angrily.

After a hasty wash, Bai Wei lay down to rest. The endless revelry of the Yingxiang Pavilion only deepened her weariness; she wondered when she might finally escape this sea of suffering.

Halfway through their journey, Hua Qingcheng could no longer withstand the combined assault of heat and pain, fainting in the arms of Cang Wunian. The protective aura surrounding them was thinning little by little.

“Hua Qingcheng is useless. It’s laughable that she once solemnly pledged a promise,” Hua Qingcheng said with some regret.

Upon hearing Qu Qingyu’s words, Sheng Nanping’s face darkened, his large hand clenched tightly into a fist as he struggled to contain his inner rage.

The Second Elder bellowed, gathering all his primal energy into his fists, legs bent like a bow, and surged forward fiercely.

At that moment, the notification sound of a WeChat message came through. Opening it, it was a message from Chu Shaoyang.

One must not offend the sponsor; Chen Peng hastily made amends, a scene that left everyone both amused and bewildered.

On stage, after the host finished reciting the advertisement, the guests began their performances. The order for this second round followed the rankings from the previous episode, appearing from lowest to highest.

That place was disconnected from the world; even if he wished to act, his enemies could not detect it.

At that time, he was not yet castrated; he was purchased to build the palace, but due to his mischief and wrongdoing, he angered Tuoba Si and was made a eunuch.

Returning home, Qin Chuan collapsed wearily onto his bed but knew tomorrow was a new day. He must continue his quest—not only to find the mysterious jade pendant but also to uncover the historical secrets hidden behind it.

The other guests had no issues and did not change their songs; after all, everyone had practiced so long, and a sudden switch would surely affect their performance and scores.

Xiahou Yuan had long received a secret letter from Xiao Xun, who repeatedly warned him not to leave Yangping Pass. The tone was serious, not joking, so Xiahou Yuan kept it firmly in mind.

Fang Ruoyu gave up the desire to escort Su Xi back. Having drunk today and with most of the path mountainous, Su Xi’s dorm was nearby, so she just walked back.

Xingyi Quan is arguably the easiest internal martial art to practice. In the martial arts world, there is a saying: “Ten years of Tai Chi won’t leave the door, but six months of Xingyi can kill.” This speaks to Xingyi’s ease, ruthlessness, and power.

If this man followed them into the treasure mountain, the dangers ahead were unpredictable. Would he really believe they had the strength and energy to protect him?

Kong Jie stared incredulously at it, closest in proximity. Suddenly, Kong Yao spread his wings and took flight, transforming back into his true form. In an instant, a massive golden ring appeared in the sky, illuminating their surroundings as if it were broad daylight.

“Young Master Liu, do you think we need to stage a heroic rescue scene again?” Er Pang asked, smiling with his plump face.

He refused to believe that the aura of a magic cultivator would appear on Xiao ‘Hua’ without reason, nor did he believe in nightmares that could ‘force’ someone to commit suicide unseen.

A pair of eyes colored with profound ink-blackness met a pair radiating the light of the sun at that moment.

Is he scheming against her? That depends on whether he has the ability. For someone like her, it’s either treachery or robbery. Ha ha ha, isn’t he just too vain?

I risked peeking again, ready to see what would unfold, only to find a tall, strong figure standing beside me. I looked up in surprise and met Guo Yi’s gaze.

This letter was a heartfelt outpouring. The tear stains alone showed she had cried deeply. The letter read thus.

An ordinary youth strolled over with the help of the octopus monster, not even glancing our way, heading straight to Qiu Yuexia’s side, gently intending to help her up.

However, on this well surface barely two or three feet wide, such undulations were indeed somewhat eerie and inexplicable.

“Master, there’s something strange on this tree!” a burly man assigned to guard the perimeter suddenly shouted.

All the Western Regions’ nations were dumbfounded. It must be known that the Western Ba Kingdom was always fierce in custom. Yet today, the Western Ba Kingdom had been incorporated into the Gaochang Kingdom.

Along with Yuan Juanli came not only the girls who usually lingered around her but also Sun Bailu, a face not so familiar yet not a stranger either.

Li Fugui disclosed everything about the Firebird to Lu Lingyun without reservation. After all, this was a major matter for the entire plan. How Lu Lingyun would arrange things was his own concern.
