Volume 1, Chapter 29: Taro Toko

Although Taro Tokimitsu and his companion were reluctant, they were ultimately driven out of the house by Saori Shiratori. The two of them wept, feeling as abandoned as forsaken children.

When Lin Yu arrived at Saori Shiratori’s home at noon, he found her alone, busily attending to things in the room. This struck him as odd. Xiao Yang, on the other hand, seemed completely satisfied with the situation, as if everything were under his control. He settled in comfortably, waiting for Ye Han to falter so he could claim his second dark general. Once that happened, the entire realm would belong to him.

As the most intelligent species among all beings, humanity’s purpose and existence bear great significance. Whether in life or death, they yearn for peace and tranquility. This encounter was merely a test between the two sides; the true battle would erupt again in the near future.

Lei Chen strolled leisurely through the streets, pulling out his phone to call Liu Shishi, only to find her phone switched off. This drop of dragon’s blood was now the most precious treasure in his collection; it must not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Meng Qi found the elders rather endearing. The fear he once felt from those coffins had long since faded. As for Liu Qin Hua himself, he wished to avoid offending these troublesome families. His position was hard-earned, and there was no need to engage in their disputes—he would simply handle their quarrels with indifference.

Meng Qi smiled, unfazed by the soldiers who had gathered around, and winked at Daisy. “Yes, it’s that burial robe,” the stout policeman replied. It was clear that both Gao Qing and the policeman were anxious.

Yang Guoxia sat down, while Heng Shao remained standing, surveying the surroundings of her house and attentively listening to their exchange.

Sister Shui Shui listened as she spoke of Mimi and then Wang Shi, before mentioning how Tang Yanyan’s studio had merged with Mimi’s, now under Mimi’s management. She babbled on until the driver pulled up beneath the company’s building, at which point Sister Shui Shui paused her tale about the assistant who said that Big S had just had another child, then stepped out of the car.

A massive shadow loomed like a towering mountain, casting darkness over them all. This caused the Mo family, the Nong family, and others to grow tense, eager to avoid the shadow. Yet with Qin’s forces blocking the left, right, and front, it was impossible to slip away without obstruction.

Ying Lou glanced sideways, then suddenly hurled Wen Feng outward, who charged straight at his sword.

After regaining consciousness, Song Zhixiao took a deep breath. Golden dust seemed to drift everywhere before her eyes, prompting her to reach out as though to grasp it.

“This is your territory after all; I don’t want to embarrass you too much,” Prince Chen said calmly.

Upon witnessing his gesture, Mimi’s eyes flickered with complexity, but her mind grew more resolute. Confirming her thoughts, she looked at her lover, whose breathing had quickened, and suddenly smiled.

Taking the teacup, Liu Lu noticed a few petals floating in the brew. After a moment’s thought, he drank it down in one gulp.

“Block it!” At that moment, Hong Jun unleashed his strongest defensive technique, fully activating all his spiritual treasures to withstand Bai Ye’s earth-shattering strike.

These were, of course, vital to the entire contest. Before the competition began and during the intervals, the booths selling figurines were always packed with crowds.

Under such heavy guard, Ju Yao returned to Ji City to gather news of his young master.

Lisa’s parents were moved and found the arguments compelling, given how formidable the Aize family truly was. They turned to Lisa, seeking her opinion.
