Chapter 143

Upon hearing Murong Guanshan’s profound and meaningful words, the look of deep distress that had previously filled Murong Feng’s face instantly vanished, replaced by a cunning, crafty, and immensely smug expression. A few sinister chuckles then echoed through the gloomy chamber, resembling the cries of an owl in the dead of night, as a meticulously planned conspiracy slowly drew back its wicked curtain. Time flew like a white steed passing a gap, and two days slipped away in the blink of an eye. The second round of the Pride Assembly approached like an impending storm. Ever since Qian Yuxi's arrival, although Xuanyuan Chen had been intoxicated by the joy and sweetness of their reunion, he had not forgotten for a moment to hone himself and strengthen his abilities. Whenever they had a break from cultivation, Murong Guan would take Qian Yuxi and Xuanyuan Chen with her, and like three joyful birds, they would shuttle through the bustling streets and alleys of the Southern Domain. They admired the blooming flowers and scenic vistas, tasted every flavor of the mortal world, and fully enjoyed this rare, beautiful, and peaceful time. However, leisurely moments are always fleeting, and the news of the second round of the Pride Assembly rang out in everyone's hearts like morning bells and evening drums.
