Chapter 47: A Joyful Reunion Between Father and Daughter

"Hey, who are you?" Ling Qiqi called out to the figure glowing red in the distance.

There was no response from the darkness. Ling Qiqi couldn't help but step forward, approaching the man.

What kind of person was he? Ling Qiqi did not know how to answer. Even as the man stood face-to-face before her, she still could not make a judgment; she could only discern that he was an adult man.

The blood-red light radiating from him was far more striking than the man himself. With such an imposing aura surrounding him, the vague features of his face seemed utterly insignificant in comparison to the sharp, dangerous atmosphere that enveloped him.

Although she could not see his face, Ling Qiqi instinctively felt that he must possess fierce, menacing features. Yet, when she tried to peer through the mist of blood, she saw only—

Uchiha Yu sat on a chair, contemplating how to complete his next mission, while opening the system panel.

It was a monstrous crimson firebird, towering a hundred meters tall—its terrifying power rivaled that of the ancient phoenix.

Hu Qing clasped his hands and bowed to the audience below the stage, saying, "My apologies, everyone. A villain has emerged from the Hu Family Troupe, and we cannot continue the performance tonight. We will resume tomorrow evening and, to make amends to the people of Jingyan, our troupe will perform for two extra days free of charge!" The crowd burst into applause and cheers.

As the Dragon-Subduing Arhats entered the formation, there was no talk of Buddha's mercy. Their staffs and rods struck out, each blow shattering dozens of lives.

Shen Qingzi neither stopped nor scolded her. She did not wish for Shen Yunhua to repress her truest self from the very beginning, for it is often the most genuine self that is most worth cherishing.

Ji Muyi clearly wanted to say more, but Yu Yichen unexpectedly produced something and placed it in her palm.

Zhu Mu’s protégé, Lei Wu, was decisive and ruthless; back when he served on the enforcement squad, how many people turned pale at the mere mention of his name?

Fortunately, when Ji Muyi left her contact information, she was cautious and gave a rarely used phone number. If she wished to avoid being disturbed by these people, she could simply change numbers.

Though they had now achieved the rank of wandering immortals, making them the most powerful figures in the lower realms, even so, they had no confidence when facing the Azure Firmament Sect. After all, not long ago, the Azure Firmament Sect had swept through the Western Palace, even defeating a wandering immortal from the upper realms.

"Don’t worry—you are my first subordinates, how could I treat you unfairly?" Xie Yang said with satisfaction.

Hao Qing’s look of gratitude was sincere, shining brightly beneath the brilliant snowfall. For the first time, Sheng Shaoqing truly felt the power in his hands—one thought for enlightenment, and all things flourish; one thought for evil, and all things perish.

With these words, he walked to the door, opened it with his right hand, and, turning sideways, propped it open with his left shoulder before stepping out. No one dared to stop him.

"Wait, I thought we just had to take a photo. No one even knows me—why do I have to give my name? I’m not doing it," An Zhou protested even more.

Seeing Sheng Shaoqing had settled in, Madam He relaxed and returned to her own courtyard.

"Qing Si’s the one taking you home, why should I? I’m not interested in your scrawny little frame," Wang Hai glanced at Tang Ci and said coolly.

"Awwooo—woof, woof, woof!" A black dog came running from afar, panting heavily with its tongue lolling out, looking at Yang Gang in a fawning manner.

Yet, seeing that the Empress Dowager showed no reaction—in fact, even nodded in approval—Feng Xi fell into deep self-doubt.

Though Lu Changfeng was well-known, he had never been to the northern border and knew nothing of its treacherous terrain or the cunning hearts of its people. Compared to others, he was far more familiar with everything here, so staying was the wisest choice.

Xie Fugui said nothing more. Since the divorce was finalized, the matter must be settled. He was about to leave anyway, and who knew if he’d ever return to this village? Best to mind his own business.

This young head of catering at the Imperial Capital Prefecture spoke with astonishing confidence. She adamantly refused to accept compensation for demolition at five thousand per square meter, even declaring that she would consider for two days, and if she didn’t agree after that, they would proceed with forced demolition. Zhao Fengjiao was infuriated at the time, but later realized that Zhang Hanyi was probably not bluffing.
