Chapter 39: Encounter with a Grizzly Bear

A greedy thought stirred deep within him: what if he were to simply take Luo Ningsang as a secondary wife? That way, he could embrace the beauty while still enjoying the comforts of a complete household, securing both his official career and his heart’s desire.

"Hmph, why still call me Prime Minister? Given our current relationship, it is time to change how you address me."

Observing Mother Shen, Long Tian suddenly felt as though he had been manipulated. It seemed that from the very beginning, she had been plotting to lure them into her trap. Through their exchanges, she had already calculated exactly how to ensure Long Tian would agree to her terms.

It was time for Hun Feishan to draw again. They had been at it for so long that he wondered if they were just having incredible luck; not a single bottle of potent poison had been drawn yet. For this, Hun Feishan cursed silently to himself.

"Ah Feng, you must live on." Tian Yi’s words echoed in Chen Feng’s heart once more. Master, thank you. I will live on, so that your sacrifice will not have been in vain.

"The anomaly evolved by that ancient monster of the past—I believe you, too, can carve out a unique path. Have confidence in yourself; do not merely follow in the footsteps of your predecessors." It was as if he had read Yang Tian’s thoughts.

What was even more terrifying was the unreserved hatred in their eyes when they saw me. It is said that my ancestors once nearly slaughtered every malevolent spirit in the Netherworld during the ancient era. Looking at them now, it seems this legend is no fabrication.

Aru, the spirit master, remained crouched by Zhang Yuhan’s side. When those pitch-black, red-eyed monsters appeared, Aru barked wildly in terror, yet despite this, it never once strayed a single step from its master, Zhang Yuhan.

The precious medicinal herbs rooted within were trembling, their leaves absorbing the hidden essence from the soil. Most terrifying of all was the Tree of Life, consuming the energy with ferocious speed.

Although I could not focus all our firepower on Old Nine while Zhou Hanliang was present, I had to make sure Old Nine understood that the reason we lost the previous match was ultimately his fault; that fact was undeniable.

"Ron, you—you actually killed my summoned beast again?" Obifer glared at Ron, his voice laced with disbelief. He never imagined that, even after Princess Winona’s warning, Ron would dare to strike at him.

Hearing the notification prompt, Long Tian and Hua Yunyan stared at each other, stunned. They had accepted a quest just like that? It was completely absurd.

Yet, when I realized that Shaman’s eyes were fixed on a single direction, I could no longer deceive myself.

They said the power of this man was peerless. Without even mentioning Li Ning, if that giant wolf from the other day had faced this strike, its skull would surely have been crushed.

Watching the cute girl fluttering about while he barely had to lift a finger, enjoying leisure and amusement simultaneously, the fellow felt quite satisfied with his decision to volunteer as her companion.

Liang Jiaxi, however, assumed she was merely shy because of that night, and watching her, his affection grew even deeper.

The trench itself would not have been so frightening, but what filled Gao Su with despair was that it had been flooded with oil. A Sui archer had already fired a flaming arrow into the ditch. Instantly, thick smoke billowed and flames soared to the heavens, completely cutting off their retreat.

"Sister Hui, you've come," Wang Xiaomin said politely, her beautiful face flushing a deep red.

As the saying goes, if you do not enter hell, who will? Heaven yawned and stretched lazily, exhaling a breath that pushed the fellow into an unknown abyss.

Seeing Vivienne’s serious expression, I could roughly guess what kind of chaotic scene was about to unfold.
