Chapter 27: Unable to Cut Ties with Her

The Fang family estate.

After dinner, Fang Zhenting specifically summoned Fang Zhixu to the study. He had been back for several days, yet the father and son had exchanged fewer than ten sentences. In the end, it fell to him to swallow his pride and call Fang Zhixu into the study so they could manage a brief conversation. Fang Zhenting, still robust and healthy, dressed in his customary white shirt and gray trousers, packed top-grade golden silk tobacco into a nanmu pipe and spoke slowly: ...

Liuxing traveled across the sea. The scene was so steady that one could almost hear the rhythmic "dong-dong-qiang, dong-dong-qiang" of a percussion beat. The sea breeze brushed against his face, carrying the scent of salt spray mixed with the pungency of ancient rust. Come to think of it, where exactly was he?

From the sea of fire on the horizon, from the blood-red setting sun, a phoenix rose, reborn from the flames. It was the color of fire, the steam of fire, the heat of fire, and possessed a heart of fire.

There were no wreaths or elegiac couplets before the grave, no paper streamers or offerings, only a pair of candles burned down to red wax and three sticks of incense reduced to their bases.

The boat traveled for over half a month until it reached Yongzhou, where Guo Qing and Xuandu hired a passenger vessel. After several more days of travel, they arrived at the Jingjiang Prefecture wharf. Xuandu briefly took his leave, saying, "I am near my humble abode. I shall go ashore to find someone and will return shortly. Please wait for me here, Excellency." Having spoken, he shouldered his knapsack, grasped his monk's staff, leaped onto the shore, and departed with a long stride.

Everyone present was a master of great power. Within less than an hour, they reached Mount Wawu and headed straight for the area where the Soul-Confusing Box was located.

"Get out of the car." Wu Yun was fortunate enough to find an empty parking space on the side of the road not far from the main entrance. After parking the car steadily, he opened the door.

Before long, Binglan stopped laughing and suddenly turned serious. "Even after seeing so many magnificent landscapes, I still think our Dreamland is the best." She looked at Su Mu with earnest eyes, a faint smile on her face illuminated by the sunlight, like a blossoming spring flower.

"Interesting." Facing the scene before him, Liuxing narrowed his eyes slightly. Although the current situation was entirely of his own making—or rather, something he had intentionally brought about—he could not help but ruminate on a bitterness known only to him, casting a deep glance at that heroic and lovely figure.

What was originally a sumptuous feast had, in an instant, turned into a hedgehog one could not even begin to eat! He possessed the power to shapeshift, but to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation, he had entered this Great Array of Deceiving Heaven and Destroying Earth and had not undergone the transformation lightning strike.

It was very late when Du Ruo left the maternity hospital. The sky was dark, and she walked toward the bus stop alone.

Zhou Bosi gave a fake laugh, then stood up from the sofa and walked slowly toward me. He stared at me with a blank expression, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped me hard across the face. His strength was immense; taken completely by surprise, I was knocked directly onto the coffee table.

Xu Jinlang's departure this time was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and Cui Yingli was still unaware. Only Fang Zhou came to see him off, and as for Xu Jinlang, who was leaving, he went empty-handed, without even a shred of luggage.

Emperor Zhao had come at this time, likely wanting to see everyone's talents. Thus, the ladies of each household were busy secretly urging their children who had signed up for the event, reminding them that this was a major occasion and they must not embarrass themselves in front of the Emperor, the Empress, or Consort Hui.

In the distance, the people inside the fighter jet were terrified. Just a moment ago, when that giant hand slammed down, they felt as if their very souls were about to shatter.
