Chapter 936
Verity lifted her hand gently, the lamplight glinting on her fingers—clear and translucent as glazed jade, flawless and exquisitely delicate.The turquoise butterfly took flight under the watchful eyes of all.Many young men stared at it with blazing, expectant gazes, hoping it would land before them. It would be their chance to fetch the lotus seed for Verity, and perhaps even win a smile from the beauty, leaving their mark on her heart.The fluttering butterfly captured every eye in the hall.Gradually, it seemed to tire, drifting slowly downward. It flitted past countless heads to a chorus of disappointed sighs, and at last, it floated down to rest before one figure.Every gaze in the crowd snapped toward that person. When they saw who it was, they all froze in surprise, and a low murmur of astonishment rippled through the throng.For the figure was none other than Albert, Commander of the First Legion!Baron, too, was slightly stunned by the sight, his eyes flickering with a faint

Albert smiled helplessly. He’d known stepping into this circle full of girls would lead to this—he had quite a high opinion of his own looks, after all.Isabelle was quick to defend her brother. Don’t even think about it. He’s already engaged, and I hear his fiancée is unrivaled in both beauty and talent, no less than Verity herself.She’d never actually met the fiancée Albert spoke of, but a little boasting never hurt anyone.Naturally, her girlfriends didn’t believe a word of it, bursting into laughter at what they thought was an obvious lie.Still, Albert, even though the First Courtyard Legion has made such rapid progress, you yourself are only at the Perfect Soul Realm. That makes you the weakest commander among the Twenty Legions. So you really need to step up your cultivation. The First Courtyard Legion is just an external force, not something you possess in your own right. Someday, if you’re ever without it, you’ll have to rely solely on yourself. The pretty young woman in the

Albert was utterly perplexed. He was about to speak when a loud commotion erupted from the golden palace. His gaze darted toward the sound at once, and he saw a throng of figures walking slowly along the red carpet outside the palace gate. At the very front, surrounded like the moon by stars, a girl approached as if treading on moonbeams.She wore a pale green long dress, her exquisite and incomparably beautiful face like that of a moon goddess. Moonlight fell on her cheeks, gilding her snow-white skin that shimmered like cast glazed jade. At her delicate, faintly blushing earlobes hung a pair of earrings like blue gemstones, their light flickering softly with every gentle sway.Her eyes were pale blue, clear as a tranquil lake, brimming with a soft, rippling luster.A silk sash cinched her waist, accentuating its slender grace, like a willow branch swaying in the breeze.Wherever she stepped, the air grew faint with a moist, refreshing mist—she had stirred the water-attribute energie

Albert had no interest in staying either. Though Baron had shown no outward sign of it, his proposal had been publicly derailed by Albert and Laura—there was no doubt resentment smoldered in his heart. Albert had no intention of engaging in empty pleasantries with him, wasting his energy on such pretense.So he nodded to Isabelle and Dale, and the two followed him as he took his leave.As he exited the hall, Baron—who was chatting and laughing with the other commanders—glanced at his retreating figure from the corner of his eye, the smile on his lips fading ever so slightly.Baron’s proposal might have fizzled out in the end, but the banquet continued on all the same. After all, the feast was the main event of the night, and his proposal had been no more than a brief interlude.On a balcony on the second floor of the golden palace, Albert leaned against the railing, gazing out at the vast lake before him. Night had fallen all around, yet beneath the bright lamplight of the palace, the
Chapter 932
Albert’s brows furrowed slightly. For him, this pre-determined seating was hardly good news. After all, despite the First Courtyard’s rapid progress, it still hadn’t broken into the first tier of the Twenty Legions’ rankings. If positions were to be fixed in advance, he would likely not stand a chance at all.He had prepared for the Black Yellow Dragon Aura Pond for a long time, pinning all his hopes on the Black Yellow Dragon Aura to fill the massive gaps in his three souls.If everything was pre-determined, what was the point of it all?What’s the plan for this pre-determination? The one who spoke now was Babel of Dragon Fang Vein.The others also leaned in to listen—this was the crux of the matter.Baron paused for two seconds, then broke into a mild smile and said frankly, Our Dragon Blood Vein will take two Coiled Dragon Pillars, one golden and one silver. The other four veins will each take one.As soon as the words left his mouth, the atmosphere in the hall turned heavy at once
Chapter 931
Isabelle and Laura clearly knew each other, and their relationship was fairly amicable—after all, Lisa’s constant antagonism had often pushed them into the same camp in the past.After exchanging a few casual words, Laura’s gaze shifted to Albert at the side and she said, Commander Albert, we meet again.Meeting Laura’s gaze, Albert smiled and replied, Speaking of which, I still haven’t thanked you for holding back last time, Commander Laura. Your side clearly won, yet you gave us a draw out of courtesy.Laura studied Albert’s handsome face and said earnestly, You’re formidable. At the Perfect Soul Realm, you’ve managed to lead the First Courtyard to its current standing. I think if you take the next step and break through to the Soul Body Realm, the First Courtyard might even crack the top five.I’m really looking forward to fighting you with no holds barred when that time comes.A flicker of fervor ignited in her eyes. When their two legions had clashed before, her side had emerged
