Chapter 151: Human Demons

Gu Zhuo's expression instantly turned sour.

She knew very well that someone with a family background like Bai Tao's would naturally have been considered guilty of capital crimes in this peculiar era. However, give it a decade or so, and as long as you were not tied to military or government organs, truly no one would bother you.

Could he really manage to slip through and get away with it?

"Don't worry, the possibility Teacher Lu mentioned is very low," Xie Lin said, noticing her anxiety and comforting her. "If someone is deliberately keeping an eye on them, how could there possibly be not a single trace of a flaw?"

Regardless of what their purpose might be, he could not afford to have any contact with that middle-aged man, so he had to avoid them altogether.

After the meal, I felt that staying in this villa surrounded by so many burly men was simply suffocating.

Unable to find Pineapple Blow, Orange Liu and the others naturally ended up tracking down the nearby bandit leader with shifty eyes.

Zhao Bo'an nodded. Of course he was also well aware of the habits of the Mo tribe. Having entered the Central Plains for merely a decade or so, the Mo tribe had not yet fully shed the fierce and unyielding characteristics of their nomadic heritage. Once Mo soldiers without control and command broke loose, they might become even more dangerous and bloodthirsty.

Not long after Emperor Yongjia departed, Chu Ling also withdrew from the banquet. Leaving the three imperial concubines behind was quite sufficient to bring the palace banquet to a close. Stepping out of the grand hall, a faint chill rushed to meet her face. Chu Ling looked up at the sky; the gloomy night was already studded with bright stars, and the serene starry sky made the commotion inside the hall behind her seem all the more glaring.

Watching him leave and then glancing at the fruits placed by the edge of the table, Lin Chuan helplessly picked one up and began to eat it casually.

Xiao Yan'er was practically dragged back by Feng Zheng and his men. When she saw the condition of Jun Wuhuan lying on the bed, her expression could not help but change as well.

Had she not spoken up, the two of them might well have embraced right then and there. Perhaps, fueled by such intense passion, they might even have ended up rolling onto the bed.

When a bloodline mutation occurs, the nine-tailed fox's body will grow larger. Explained from a medical perspective, following a nine-tailed fox bloodline mutation, a massive amount of organic matter is required to replenish the nutritional components necessary for growth. Therefore, upon returning to human form, a nine-tailed fox will experience extreme hunger, which is also the fundamental reason why a massive intake of human blood is required during the mutation process.

Xuanwu finally discovered that something was amiss in the outside world. Seeing Wu Fa struggling strenuously to sustain his domain and resist the sweeping, turbulent storm of chaos, he seemed to understand.

Wang Yuantian resumed circulating his Crimson Blood Saber Essence according to the mental cultivation method. Within a mere moment, he felt the boiling vitality within him—which had just been restless and seemingly on the verge of bursting out of his body—now being seized by an invisible, chilling hand. That icy sensation of congealment rapidly permeated every single drop of his blood.

Li Qixuan pulled out the purple-gold eight-trigrams compass to show me. The needle was pointing steadfastly at my position without the slightest tremor. When I dodged to the right, the needle shifted to the right as well; when I moved to the left, it twirled and pointed to the left, remaining unwaveringly fixed upon me—truly wondrous beyond measure.

With that, he smiled at me and stepped out of the private room to pay the bill. I cast a headache-inducing glance at Jiang Nianrong, who shrugged at me to express her apologies. But with matters having reached this point, I could only bite the bullet and head out with the others.

Her body was already in such a state, how could she possibly serve him? Even if he didn't mind, she despised herself for it.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Yu Wan went through the motions of registering, had the doctor prescribe some medicine, and then seized the opportunity to visit the post office. Fortunately, she wasn't a prominent figure and didn't have the driver waiting for her, which spared her movements from being exposed.

He did not regret his actions tonight. While such behavior was not permitted by the law, when had the青山 Gang (Qingshan Gang) ever regarded the laws of the land? Having committed so many heinous crimes yet remaining scrupulously beyond the reach of the law, it was evident enough that the Qingshan Gang was in collusion with the police.

That royal couch was luxuriously elegant, crafted from superior materials with meticulous carvings and a distinctive shape—altogether an exquisite piece honed with utmost care.

However, if Second Brother had truly misunderstood, then what a tragic injustice their lives in this lifetime would be! To miss the right person, to harm the one you love, almost to the point of fading from each other's memories for a lifetime.
