Chapter 136: Alluring

When Su Yi spoke to Karina, she did so entirely from her own perspective, painting Lin Lu as a vicious woman skilled in deception.

"Is that so?" Cullen frowned. "That is not what Xu Yanchen told me."

"Father, he must be lying to you," Karina said with certainty. "Our Cullen..."

The moment Lu Rong died, the spell she had cast instantly lost its effect. Tang Luo's attack vanished near Bai Wuyou and returned to his own side, temporarily relieving Yun Qing of the danger he faced.

If one were to see only this image, who would suspect that beneath his handsome exterior lay a heart brimming with restless, treacherous intent?

It was not that Gu Yanfei had calculated everything; she was merely a rat hiding in the gutter, having set this trap in the shadows, waiting for them to jump right in.

The protective barrier of Ye Family Village was already precarious. If that black attack had struck the barrier, she feared she would have to restart this dungeon all over again.

Gu Yanfei gently swayed her index finger, causing the jade pendant hanging from it to swing to and fro.

She wanted to open this gift herself to see what was inside. Besides, with so many people guarding her, she was not at all worried about her safety.

There are thousands of methods for attack and defense in the cultivation world. It is best for every cultivator to have an understanding of all aspects so that they can devise appropriate countermeasures when faced with various predicaments.

She believed that no matter how terrifying this girl was, it wouldn't matter as long as she didn't have her hands on the steering wheel. She turned her head to look pitifully at Father Jiang, who had remained silent, hoping he would make a decision contrary to Jiang Wan's.

As long as the Mermen could one day travel freely to the surface of the ocean, every sacrifice would be worth it.

I had spent far too little time in the consignment shop, constantly rushing between the mortal realm and the underworld. Indeed, once one holds an official position, there are endless matters to attend to. The saying "to hold a position is to fulfill its duties" is truly correct.

Zhu Xiong did not expose them. He gave a rough overview of Persia on the map, then paused to let them have ample time to process and absorb the information.

After this poisoning, Luo Yi felt that there seemed to be no significant obstacles in his cultivation progress.

The two began to bicker, and eventually, they came to blows. Zhao Shengjie, a hoodlum, actually found himself unable to defeat his neighbor. Naturally, the onlookers sided with the neighbor; Zhao Shengjie was forcibly dragged out of the house and shoved back into his own.

Kato Ai had overestimated the Susanoo. Having never fought against the Uchiha clan's Susanoo before, his understanding was limited to the anime he had watched over twenty years ago and the results of his own analysis.

Mu Xiaoxiao followed his instructions. The two turned left out of the door and detoured to another street. Lin Zheng quickly hailed a taxi, pulled out a hundred-yuan note, and told the driver to follow his route.

"This..." Luo Tianyang was in a difficult position, not knowing how to answer. Deep down, he was unwilling to get involved in this matter, as that evil ghost was far beyond his ability to handle. Yet, thinking back on his career, he had never been able to walk away from the incidents he encountered; he feared it would be difficult to stay out of this one as well.

Even if Er Sha was not a match for the evil ghost, he would not be in immediate mortal danger. Luo Tianyang was happy to see him gain some experience, watching with a chuckle to see how he would capture the spirit.

Of course, they stopped after only one round—they could only manage one, as the Azure Dragon Team was already very close to the Later Jin forces. That volley was primarily intended to break the enemy's morale, create pressure, and clear a path for the team.

Xu You felt he had treated the villagers well; surely the village wouldn't go to such great lengths to send people to find him.

"There is no special news from the palace. The Emperor comes to see me every day, and I haven't noticed anything different about him," Shang Qing said.
