Chapter 42 Driven to Madness by You All

Ruan Mianmian gazed at Zhao Lijuan’s obvious look of disdain, and bitterness welled up within her heart. She had expected this outcome.

“Mom, how can you say that? What do you mean by living off the family? I gave so much money to the family before—are you saying you won’t let me come home?”

Zhao Lijuan grew even more agitated when she heard this. “The money you gave before was what you ought to have given. We raised you all these years, and giving a bit of money to honor your parents is only right.”

Lin Na and the others hadn't left; they intended to rest for the night and depart for their own base tomorrow. The relationship between Lin Na and Ye Xuan couldn't exactly be called an alliance, but it was indeed a partnership among merchants.

Without a doubt, the red-haired youth was the third-ranking figure of the Holy Federation, the Crimson Shura—Geng Yan.

Had she not noticed, with just a tap, the usually gentle A Xin had pinched her under the ribs?

We were eating in the restaurant, almost finished, when a sudden voice caused a commotion. The whole place erupted, people scrambling to find hiding spots. Yet, the ship was only so big—no matter where you hid, you were still on board.

“If you have something to say, do it outside. Do you think we’re safe right now?” Master turned to glance at Chen Pingsen, his expression all seriousness.

Those who came to challenge the school had done so more than once or twice. Each time, they were beaten back. Over time, everyone knew the martial arts school had a master present.

It could be said that unless one was a saint-level powerhouse, no one could threaten the Treasure Pavilion.

Moreover, the Bloodlight Bow was not only the foundation of the Bloodlight Array, but likely a legacy left by the Realm Emperor for future generations. Whoever unveiled the secret of the Seven Kill Array could claim the Bloodlight Bow.

“This?” Li Yuan hesitated, pretending to consider his words. What should he say?

Watching the ghosts summoned by Baili Lang nearly break through the array, I had no choice but to borrow the body of the cat demon to deal with him. Otherwise, my human form was simply no match.

“It’s all your fault. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have missed them,” Xuanxuan said, her anger rising.

“I like it here…” She smiled at Qian Jin. From this angle, the man could just see her star-like eyes, which seemed to ripple with tender affection, drawing him in deeply.

Yet, despite her words, the lingering murderous aura seemed impossible to dispel. Where had it come from?

The Lord of Misty Fog City! The lord of the main border city of Mist Moon Empire—anyone in such a position was far from ordinary.

“You mean he wants to kill me? Don’t forget, I’m holding the Crystal Ball of World Domination. If anyone dares to make a move, I’ll destroy it. No one will ever possess the Crystal Ball!” The King of Darkness spoke with contempt, his eyes burning with fury.

After two incidents at the bar, Xuanxuan swore she'd never go again. That place was simply too wicked, the people too vile. She was determined to stay away. If Dongfang Ji found out, she’d be scolded to death—better keep it secret.

“The fairy returned to her dwelling, yet the misery of the mortal world haunted her eyes, denying her restful sleep.

In an instant, the clatter of footsteps echoed. The private army of the Wang family, even the servants, mobilized, rushing toward the Chen family. Seizing property, exterminating the clan—now that all the elders of the Chen family had been crippled, the clan was finished. It would be a shame not to plunder the household.

Beside the pool, a white-haired man sat with his back to them, a fishing rod before him, seemingly angling. Next to him lay another rod, as if someone else had once fished by his side.

“A day or several days makes little difference to us. Without reinforcements, the longer we delay, the worse it gets,” Marshal Xu Hong said, frowning.
