Chapter 129: You Two Have Met

As soon as those words were spoken, all three faces darkened. The man in question, however, completely failed to read the room and continued rambling. “Mr. Lu went to Spirit Mountain some time ago and even prayed for an auspicious fortune slip on your behalf! They say the fortune slips from Spirit Mountain are the most effective, though they are not easy to obtain. You have to…”

“All right, enough already. Are you ever going to stop?” Lu Xu interrupted him, then turned toward Xu...

He took his seat at the head of the banquet without the slightest hesitation. No one else dared sit there. Everyone else took their places, but no one began eating yet, because a certain someone had not given the word.

Below a thousand meters, there was no sunlight at all. The water pressure was probably heavier than the weight of several thousand people piled on top of one another. It was certainly no place for an ordinary person to remain.

“I trust none of you are foolish enough to doubt whether the number-one sect under heaven possesses such ability.” Wu Jue calmly observed the various expressions on their faces and delivered the words the sect master had repeatedly instructed him to say, because the sect master was determined that everyone should know whom he had married.

The small amount Chen Zijian had eaten earlier would not have been enough to fill him even if there had been ten portions of it. Zhang Youde had seen what he could eat before. Since Chen Zijian was the host today, Zhang merely took the lead in putting on a show.

Before she could respond, the man had already walked away, heading straight toward the restroom.

Back in the room, after the man placed him on the bed, Gu Bai sat pressed against the inner side, both arms wrapped around his knees. It was an unmistakably insecure posture.

This beast was said to possess the bloodline of the Black Tortoise: black spines, elephantine legs, a tortoise shell, and a serpent’s head. Legend claimed that its body was infinitely vast and that it could carry mountains as it traveled. Now that he saw it for himself, the creature truly lived up to its reputation.

“You two, come with Grandma to the kitchen and help carry out the dishes. Don’t bother with that old man.” As she spoke, Chen Xiulan pulled Meng Tao outside. Seeing this, Su Qian followed as well.

A gentle breeze stirred as clouds gathered, dispersed, gathered again, and dispersed once more. From atop the nine-tiered treasure pagoda, the boundless lands stretched beneath their feet, and the entire world lay within their view.

The light stabbed at Huo Jingting’s eyes, leaving him unable to open them. Several seconds passed before he recovered. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he looked toward the person who had switched on the light.

Listening to her sharp-tongued words, I knew that as long as I persisted in admitting my mistakes, one day she would forgive me. Heh heh heh.

“You’re stealing wild monsters? I never thought you’d stoop to doing something so dishonorable!” Xiao Zifeng said indignantly, fury burning in his eyes.

He retreated rapidly, dragging Chu Jiangkai along with him. His consciousness had grown somewhat hazy, yet his grip on the blue sword in his hand remained tight.

The competition ended, and the champion of the freshman tournament had been decided. Gently soothing the excited Rowlet in his arms, Yang Mo carried it toward the infirmary.

The reflection in the mirror did not possess Su Yao’s overwhelmingly seductive features, yet it displayed a sharp beauty so intense that no one could look directly at it. Its long, narrow fox eyes narrowed slightly, creating an irresistible sense of oppression.

“Yes.” Upon hearing this, the chefs all withdrew. In any case, the orders they had received were to obey the person before them.

Even if Shao An’s actual ability surpassed Xia Ruo’s, answering the question incorrectly had completely made up for the difference between them.

After reporting to Qin Siyao, Qin Siyao brought out several others who currently had no experimental assignments.

Yang Mo roughly guessed what Noctowl had done, and a powerful psychic force enveloped Lugia’s feather.

The eerie light above the river continued to rise, while crimson radiance swept down from the sky, vast and overwhelming. The ghostly glow was pure and cool; the red light warm and gentle.

Yet no one answered for quite some time. When the call finally connected, Ye Zeming had only just begun to speak when the line was cut off. Ye’s parents had said that his cousin had been bullied there before. Perhaps he had run into some trouble again.

They had been brothers for more than twenty years, and had always fought side by side. By now, they understood each other perfectly. One could say that the two brothers knew one another even better than they knew themselves.
