Deadly Bodyguard Embers after the fire 1310 words 2026-03-24 20:14:38

This time, Cao Mang brought Hu Qingming two hundred flesh-and-blood essence pills, making her even more desperate to fight to the death, completely free from any lingering worries.

Cao Mang, however, seemed somewhat absent-minded, using his spiritual power to probe every inch of the courtyard.

Although the Yin energy here was not as strong as that of the Qiu family estate, it was still considerable, and Hu Qingming's constitution was likely affected by it.

He found no natural treasures similar to a Yin spring, but instead discovered something entirely different.

...

An adult Moon Demon Wolf possessed the strength of a peak seventh-tier entity. Generally speaking, without a cultivation level above the mid-eighth tier, one shouldn't even dream of defeating it. And that was merely defeating it—in a one-on-one fight. Yet now, a single adult Moon Demon Wolf was commanding more than five hundred vicious hounds.

Qin Shang smiled bitterly to himself. How could it not be so? Falling in love with you just like his elder brother did—such sentiments could never be brought out into the open, nor could they be laid on the table for discussion.

"Do you have nothing to say to me?" Leng Muhansaw that Yun Duoduo had no intention of speaking, so he broke the silence.

Yun Duoduo turned her head away, taking deep breaths of the sweet-scented air. A wave of softness suddenly enveloped her again, and she pushed him away in annoyance. Was there no end to this?

Did Lin Chenqing bring her to see the Prince of Ning to inform her that he had already pledged his allegiance to this supreme figure? Were there any other plans or schemes in motion?

The red stone he had extracted from Murong Ni's shrine was most likely the Xuantian Zhen.

Yun Duoduo glanced at her. The elderly maid stood there trembling, too terrified to even move a muscle, keeping her eyes fixed firmly on the tips of her own shoes.

"Yun Duoduo, you truly did not disappoint me." Murong Che stroked the porcelain bottle in his hand, a thin, cold smile curving the corners of his lips.

The coffin was carried all the way to the gates of the Yun residence. When some elderly onlookers saw this, they thought the Prince of Wu had lost his mind—how could someone who had died be brought back home like this?

The concept of "nine returns to one" was extremely popular in the immortal realm, so this massive pearl held extraordinary significance for him. Having finally collected this one, his next goal would be nine hundred and ninety-nine pearls.

"This, it's this!" Zhai Jin said with absolute certainty this time, convinced he couldn't possibly have guessed wrong. If he guessed wrong again, he would eat that cup.

The manufacturing process was simple. He pried open the aggressive Squiq's massive jaws, shoved a modified bomb into its mouth, and then pulled the wire out from the bomb's catch, threading it through the Squiq's tongue to tie it tight.

"Young master, why do you suppose the Xuan Sect has sealed off Zhaoyang County so tightly? Even if they're afraid the Weishan Sect might find out we've surrendered to the Xuan Sect, there's no need to stop even ordinary people from entering and leaving, is it?" A retainer noticed that Ye Xiaoqiang was walking some distance ahead and couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Places like nightclubs were generally chaotic, filled with crowds. Speaking of which, killing someone wasn't particularly difficult, yet neither was it entirely simple.

The projection formed by the blue storm successfully intercepted the attack, though the momentum still forced Feng Yi back a short distance.

This bar was actually quite inconspicuous and modest in scale, yet its business was remarkably good, boasting a large number of regular customers.

Fan Shuang might not have known the term "strategic resource," but the Void God Pill was, in her heart, just as vital as any strategic resource—exceptionally important. Therefore, cautious though she had always been, she was willing to take a gamble this time.

Whether it was an airplane or a transport craft, landing was a task that severely tested a pilot's skill. Missiles didn't need to worry about such things, but if there were people sitting inside the missile, that was an entirely different matter.

Qi'er puckered her cherry lips and recounted the current situation of the Nangong family to Feng Yi. To put it simply in a few words: the military had pulled out, and the refugees had left along with them. On the other hand, the wealthy and powerful hermit sects possessed their own aerospace equipment, so the official authorities deemed them capable of evacuating on their own—and subsequently abandoned them. That was how it was.

Sha Zhengqing, however, was well aware that once an airport was built here, especially as its scale expanded and the freight and logistics industries experienced a massive boom in the future, its value and significance would far surpass mere land compensation.
