“Brother Wang, you first.” Xiao Feitian smiled at Wang, hoping the young man would not disappoint him.

At that thought, Shi Kai immediately dispersed the dense Nether Poison within Mo Ning’s body and carefully examined the area where the spiritual pill was located.

After entering the room, Wang Dong picked up the kettle from the table, poured himself a cup of water, and swallowed it in one gulp. Then he lay straight down on the bed and stared at the ceiling for a long while.

“So you came after all.” Shi Kai sprang from the bed in a single motion. The barrier that had been circulating inside him to prevent his true qi from leaking out immediately dispersed, while the Seven Stars Changing Sun Pill was also activated. Fire-attributed true qi slowly seeped from his body, bit by bit condensing into blades.

The river was extremely turbulent upstream. Swimming across it was utterly impossible, but going downstream and crossing there seemed even less feasible, since it would waste too much time.

With a crisp crack, the Third Prince’s hand broke on the spot. The pain immediately made him howl like a slaughtered pig.

I always felt that she was not the only one who had changed during this period. Su Meng had changed as well. In the past, no matter what happened, she would always let herself suffer first. But now, it seemed that Su Meng had also become somewhat more calculating.

Su Meng began making mistakes all the time, provoking her parents’ anger again and again, while Shu Meng would always plead for her with seeming kindness. Their parents, who had already been indifferent toward Su Meng, became even more disappointed in her—even disgusted. All their affection shifted to Shu Meng.

“Are you leaving?” A calculating glint flashed through Youxi’s eyes. She looked at Palace Bloodsucker, then slightly turned her face away when she saw his mesmerizing smile.

First of all, what is the Talisman Mirror made of? As far as I know, glass did not exist in this world in ancient times, did it?

The moment they clashed with the Ming army and realized they could not win, they fled at once, playing hide-and-seek with the iron cavalry of the Great Ming.

Yet the instant his hand touched the branch, the pear blossoms upon it suddenly bloomed one after another. This truly left Di Lin somewhat stunned.

Shi Ling turned to look at the gloomy sky beyond the boat. The cold wind poured inside, howling as though someone were weeping.

Halfway through the meal, the two people who had just finished their private conversation outside hurried in, both wearing faintly anxious expressions.

Just as the young man began letting his imagination run wild again, the Frost-Blue Great Ghost seemed to sense something. Two thick beams of bloody light erupted from its eyes and swept toward Blood Corpse Ridge.

Because of the rain, they could not go outside, so the tour group remained at the hotel. The wealthy ladies gathered in the front hall, drinking coffee prepared by Xu Haitao and listening to him play the electronic keyboard. By evening, Xu Haitao had completed his accompanying duties and returned to the city by car.

Even now, scarecrows made from their skins were still swaying in the wind atop the walls of the Great Ming capital.

Jiang Muyun bowed deeply to him, her eyes filled with gratitude. What she wanted was for the couple to see for themselves what kind of life their own child was living in the Cui household.

By the time Zi Yunchen finally swept back to her side, the ice path had completely collapsed and disintegrated, becoming part of the waters of the Yellow Springs.

I had been so affected back then. Whenever he did something that displeased me, I would torment him like that, then watch his countless messages and calls, imagining his worry and panic so that I could convince myself he truly, truly loved me.

After breakfast, Su Xia wanted to visit Gu’s mother. Gu Dongjue naturally had no objection, so the two returned to the Gu residence together. Come to think of it, this was the first time since their reunion that he had brought her home like this.

What she said was actually meant to explain why they could not stay long. After all, they had closed the family shop just to come and see me.

A thunderous boom rang out. The iron cage shattered, and the Earth Fiend’s Desolate Tomb began to tremble violently, as though it were about to collapse. The immense energy stirred the surrounding air, sending waves of force surging outward. Tang Youyou immediately clutched my arm, her eyes tightly shut, her delicate face seeming to await the arrival of death.

My heart trembled. An expression of astonishment appeared on my already insecure face. I lowered my head and gave a bitter smile without saying a word.

“Jiran, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said those things to you and put you in a difficult position.” Gu Xixi looked slightly apologetic.

Though Ming Zhang spoke that way, he knew that Lady Chuxiu had deliberately kept them waiting. Otherwise, she would never have chosen today to receive guests. At the very least, after learning that Shen Yu had returned victorious today, she should have chosen another day. Lady Chuxiu was giving them a warning.

The Ninth Prince wanted to travel with her to Jingzhou? Chuxiu lowered her eyes and pondered, offering no immediate reply. She felt the request was somewhat abrupt. Even though she knew the two of them would certainly travel in separate carriages, it would still be improper according to etiquette if word got out.

Beside her stood a low cabinet, upon which a vase held a large bouquet of pink daisies. Set against the graceful and elegant Guo Yuqing, it looked just like a beautiful painting.

“At the public service window of your Finance Bureau, I asked them which floor your office was on, but they wouldn’t even give me the time of day.” Qin Feng cast a glance at the staff member and deliberately raised his voice, clearly intending to humiliate these snobs who looked down on people.

It erupted within her and was drawn out. He caught her limp body and held her tightly in his arms. Seeing how utterly exhausted she was, he kissed her forehead tenderly.

After the meeting ended, Huo Yunchao returned to his office. The rain outside had yet to stop. Pedestrians hurried along the streets beneath their umbrellas, and he saw people in raincoats weaving through the downpour on electric scooters.

Thus, he hurriedly released the new consort from his embrace and instantly assumed a solemn expression. “My beloved consort has only just entered the palace and must be exhausted. I shall trouble you no further!” With that, he waved his hand and ordered Wang Ying to escort her away.

“May I ask whether any of you possess His Majesty’s decree?” The Imperial Guards guarded the palace gates with utmost diligence, refusing to let them enter easily.

He felt his head growing somewhat dizzy, as though something had struck him. He could no longer feel his pulse.

Seeing this, the brothers’ eyes reddened with urgency. They did their best to approach Sky Wolf slowly and shield him from harm.

They had clearly explained the consequences to their own artist beforehand, so how had things still developed into this?

Chen Youdao called for a halt, but did not order another take. Instead, he signaled for the prop team to put another blood capsule into Xu Junjie’s mouth.
