Volume One, Chapter 34: Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy, and You Will Never Be Defeated in a Hundred Battles

This time, the Snow Ape Beast did not wait for the human warriors to attack. It threw back its head and roared twice before charging at them of its own accord.

Su Nuannuan stared at him wide-eyed. When her gaze met his, she was surprised to discover that Duan Chengyu’s face at that moment resembled the southern riverbanks of Jiangnan in the vibrant springtime after the snow had melted—so gentle that she could not help feeling the faint stirrings of her heart.

“I’m not sure whether the man you mentioned is the same one I saw at the school entrance today,” Lin Jiang said doubtfully.

After some bloodshed, Yuan Shao finally seized control of the alliance and established the Ji Kingdom. In truth, the kingdom remained somewhat loosely organized. Yuan Kui, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Yi still each controlled their own territories and armies, though all three held office at the Ji court.

His father and elder brother had always been his pride, but this time his brother had abandoned the mission, leaving him deeply disappointed.

He leaned inside and saw her sitting beside the bed, head bowed and body curled up. The baby seemed to have just finished nursing, with traces of milk still clinging to the corner of its mouth.

He had to devise a foolproof plan—one that would either keep the Snow Tiger from reaching Mei Lan immediately, or make both of them leave the side of the jade dragon bed, giving him enough time to put it away. But what, exactly, should he do?

Even experts above the rank of Martial King have all been defeated by you. Even the reinforcements from the Flower Rain Palace could only suffer defeat. If you continue fighting, aren’t you simply asking for trouble?

“Then if you call him that, Nuannuan will have to call you Uncle too. Ha-ha!” Gao Yizhe burst out laughing.

Li Yi fell silent. He had realized that it was not Yellow Hair who had subdued these gangs and made everything possible for him. Nor did he possess the ability to manage such a gang himself.

Qin Jue was an unparalleled powerhouse of the ninth heaven of the Imperial Path. His perception was extraordinarily keen, and he immediately sensed what was happening inside.

The inkstone was exquisitely crafted and stored in a black lacquered box picked out in gold. Its delicate design made it safe and convenient to preserve and carry.

Chu Chen’s proposal was not without merit. Many great clans diversified their investments. The Ye family, in fact, did not have only one branch in Wind Spirit City. There were Ye clansmen in other major cities as well; they had merely been separated long ago. That way, should disaster strike, the entire family would not be wiped out.

The baleful aura on the God-Slaying Spear had now been greatly reduced, most of it having been blasted away by the lightning.

At this point, the Split-Water Jackal suddenly stopped speaking, as though it had been terribly frightened.

“Possessing the Myriad Demon Bell and inheriting the legacy of the Myriad Demon Emperor—so long as you give me time, I will certainly surpass you. The Myriad Demon Emperor is an unparalleled sovereign who is on the verge of breaking through into the Martial Dao Mythic Realm. He is far beyond what ordinary emperors can compare with.”

He did not want to lose anyone else. From this point onward, he would have to stake his life, fight, struggle, and grow stronger. He had to become powerful enough to protect everyone he cared about.

Shelton instinctively wanted to object, but after his Adam’s apple bobbed several times, he managed to hold his tongue.

Leonard rose and stretched. Just then, he happened to see Martin and Penny leaning together on the sofa, heads lowered as they whispered to each other. The sight made him a little jealous.

After reminiscing and exchanging a few idle words, Yan Bei wished he could pry every secret and anecdote of the Yan clan out of Yan Chengjiu. Unfortunately, he suddenly remembered Wu Baichuan and recalled that he had made an appointment with him.

He continued, “When the art of feng shui flourished during the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties, masters of feng shui such as Guo Pu began gradually refining the ideas surrounding it and elevating them into a formal theory.”

“Yes, that Annie.” When Song Yang mentioned the name, a rather amused gleam flashed through his eyes.

It seemed that she had only met Young Master Ye once because of work. Young Master Ye had probably come for business as well. After all, everyone had heard of the world’s tallest building—it was a major project.

“Ahem. Shaogong, I am a divine physician. I know my own condition better than anyone. I’m fine; you don’t need to worry about me.” Ji Zili immediately interrupted the awkward atmosphere.

“Your Majesty, how could he possibly be your child? He is merely a wild child who sneaked into the palace.” Gong Xueying was frightened now as well. This man had always been impossible to read.

However, the attacks of those two were also extremely formidable. Had Chu Feng’s foundation not been so profound, he would probably have been defeated long ago beneath their mad bull-like assault.

She felt as though countless question marks were swirling through her mind. Carrying them with her, she entered the bathroom. Since she could get her hands wet today, she intended to take a proper bath.

Chu Xia was young yet shrewd, and he never did anything without confidence. His methods made that perfectly clear. In a short period of time, he had caused the strength of the Divine Firmament Group to soar, leaving everyone stunned. Before the other forces could react, it was already too late to stop him, and a new superpower had emerged.

Zhao Ru and Yang Pan’er seemed to share a silent understanding. Both remained quiet, their eyes fixed unblinkingly on Zhou Ming.

Zhang Luoye turned around in disbelief, and sure enough, the person before him was Tang Yuli! How was that possible? Why had he not lost consciousness?

Hearing Ziyan’s words, Ye Hen’s entire body trembled. Dancing while watching the sunrise—that belonged to those memories. It seemed that although Ziyan had forgotten most things, that particular memory remained buried deep in her heart.

The room’s decoration and arrangement were actually identical; the only difference was the color. Yet it was precisely that red which enormously stirred Zhou Ming’s passion and wild nature.

In truth, Hauge had his own selfish motives. After spending several days in the inner world, he had been too flustered by his failure to rescue the tribesmen to notice. But once they had all been brought out and everything had settled, he clearly realized that his body had improved to some degree.

“Heh, Miss Meng, there’s no need to be so formal. Didn’t I say so already? Just treat this place as your home. They’re nothing but a few toads. I could crush them beneath one foot.” Zhang Luoye laughed as he strode into the hall.
