Volume 1, Chapter 21: I Am Perfected Lord Huanglong

I am known as Master Huanglong, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals and the third disciple of the Primordial Lord of Heaven.
I am a sinner, and I wish to indict fate for its injustice.
I was born amidst the primordial chaos.
When I first gained consciousness, I was filled with terror by the surrounding darkness.
I felt my way through the environment.
Soon, I came before a giant bird radiating flames.
The power of the Five Elements manifested as cold blades, forming a rotating wheel that enveloped the fire monk, seeking to grind him to death.
He gently released Ling Xiao and walked slowly toward Yu'er's room. The room was unlit, yet he could vaguely discern the upright silhouette of Yan Fei standing within.
Hearing this name again, spoken by Tom Hansen, Zheng Qing felt a completely different and indescribable sensation deep in his heart.
The apartment was a one-bedroom, one-living-room suite with a kitchen and bath—perfect for a married couple.
Upon hearing this, Liu Wei could not help but be greatly stirred. He had not held much hope for this side, yet to actually win the award felt like a dream.
However, his body seemed to have completely escaped his control. He appeared to want to sit up and speak, but he remained motionless, save for his mouth, which he strained to open as wide as possible.
Yan Fei could not have imagined that after all these twists and turns, the matter would return to his master, which meant returning to himself. He had nothing left to say.
As the animation began, the rise and fall of the characters and the curves of their emotional fluctuations were perfectly synchronized with the music.
"This old servant has noted it down. Your Majesty, you have been busy all night; would you like to take a meal now?" Wang Cheng'en suggested from the side, watching the Chongzhen Emperor.
Therefore, compared to the State of Qin, the State of Zhao, while not lacking in arms and armor, was deficient in grain and other supplies.
Hearing Han Yi's words, the crowd finally reacted, and with suspicion and surprise, they looked back three times before arriving at the assembly point.
The Great Song had just signed a new peace treaty with the Jin Dynasty. Although many terms remained consistent with previous forced agreements, at the very least, the Great Song no longer had to declare itself a vassal to Jin. Their relationship was adjusted to that of uncle and nephew, the annual tribute was renamed "annual payment," and the amount was reduced by nearly twenty percent.
Although Ruji had been a concubine to the late King Yu of Wei and had borne a son for Pang Rui, the man who held the most importance in her heart was always Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji. For a single word from Wei Wuji, Ruji was willing to go to her death, just as she had been when stealing the tally in her previous life.
Meanwhile, "Dream," hovering above Wushuang City, could not escape her ill-fated end; blood gushed like pillars from her seven orifices, and her entire body was oozing blood.
Wei Wuji possessed an infinite charisma—a charm that could make people submit willingly, influence his soldiers to serve him with devotion, and strike fear into the hearts of his enemies. The mere mention of the name "Wei Wuji" was enough to deter the other states from attacking Wei.
"Heh!" Pang Rui chuckled. "This is what I am about to discuss. As a monarch, besides keeping one's joy and anger hidden, one must understand the way of managing subordinates, the art of balance, and the rhythm of tension and release."
The carriage was empty, save for several heavy-looking chests. As the rear door opened, several young people of similar age to Candou emerged silently and helped carry the chests into the courtyard.
"Jieyuan, have you lost your mind? Is the trouble you've caused not enough? Do you know who he is? He is the son of Ji Ruxue and the grandson of Ji Zhengyuan. It is my fault for not telling you—he has another identity that your sisters wouldn't believe if you told them!" Pan Chu exclaimed.
"You... a mere Demon King dares to open an inn here?" the Demon Venerable asked with utter disdain.
