Chapter 59

"How do you know I am unreconciled?" Ji Linxi's tone softened considerably, carrying a trace of warmth.

True Master Xuan Kong was indeed no ordinary opponent; he had calculated everything in advance and planted members of the True One Sect right in their territory, ensuring they would have no way to break away and head to Mount Fengdu for reinforcements.

After a sound resembling a wolf's howl echoed, a dark figure suddenly rushed out from the grass ahead, lunging directly toward my hiding place. Panic-stricken, I drew the Tai'e Sword and slashed forward, unleashing a sword Qi that struck the charging black shadow head-on.

Leng Mochen wanted to sleep holding me, but I was very restless in my sleep. Fearing I might aggravate his wound, I had him turn his back to me while I embraced him to sleep.

Jiang Yanfeng, however, stubbornly refused to leave, claiming that little Zhi had no one to look after her and insisting on staying behind. Old Madam Cheng turned pale with anger and ordered Mother Yu and Second Sister Su to drag Jiang Yanfeng out, instructing Lady Zhao upon returning home not to allow Jiang Yanfeng to step even half a step beyond the inner courtyard's secondary gates.

Jiang Yanfen was flushed purple with rage by her words, yet she dared not throw a tantrum. Swallowing her shame and indignation, she managed a few perfunctory pleasantries and hurriedly took her leave.

"Send her back!" the Emperor commanded darkly. Two eunuchs hoisted the still-struggling A-Tang and rushed her back to Empress Zou's palace.

"Could it be that he is a person from a foreign realm?" another thoroughly unscrupulous elder asked, his expression now entirely grave.

Upon seeing that the person sealed within the large jar was an elderly woman well past fifty and currently unconscious, Xia Yang instantly realized she was none other than the current Empress Dowager. Once the figures in black had settled her and left the chamber, he slipped inside instantly and approached the jar.

Jiang Yanming slept soundly until early the next morning. After rising and having a meal, he went next door to pay his respects to Old Madam Cheng, chatting with her at length about the upcoming examinations before returning around noon.

At that moment, all of Wang Zhi's self-esteem collapsed entirely, plunging him into despair as he found it utterly impossible to believe what was happening. As the heir of the Wang family, he had actually turned out inferior to an outer courtyard handyman; it was nothing short of a profound mockery.

"Ye Tian, what kind of midnight snack would you like tonight? I will make it for you," Su Wanbai asked gently.

The Dragon Ant then turned its gaze back to Luo Hao. Even now, Luo Hao's body remained encased in a thick layer of ice. Although steam continuously billowed from the top of his head, it was still insufficient to free him from his frozen prison.

Afterward, it waved its sharp claws, slashing a wound across its own body, and bright red blood immediately began to flow.

Moreover, the heads, elders, Great Saint Venerables, and Great Saint Heavenly Venerables of various major clans had all discovered the sudden upheaval here.

Divine General Suiren had originally intended to refuse, but upon feeling the formidable self-confidence radiating from Lu Fan, his resolve began to waver.

Once the passage between Earth and the myriad realms of the heavens was opened, more overlord-level powerforces would return to the solar system. By then, those five overlord-level figures from the five major super factions would no longer exert such immense pressure on the solar system.

"You scoundrel, why would you publicly flirt with a disciple of the Primordial Sect? Why resort to such a fatal blow?" Zhou Zhengyang lowed in a roar. Had his disciple not already had his legs severed, he would have given him a thorough thrashing.

Oftentimes, when playing an ADC, we frequently encounter some utterly baffling situations.

Zhong Yue, you once said that many people in this world cannot choose their own lives. You are like this, and so am I. At least we once shared the most beautiful days; though fleeting, I will seal them inside a glass bottle and cherish them forever.

Alighting from the carriage, the Xiangbei Prince's Mansion came into view. Baili Wan smiled faintly—this was undoubtedly Helan Yuan's signature style: understated yet luxurious. At first glance, nothing appeared extraordinary, but those in the know would naturally understand that not a single brick or tile of the Xiangbei Prince's Mansion was ordinary.

Lele, did you know? From the very moment I met you, I knew you were the eternal longing and devotion of my life. Since ancient times, many people have asked the exact same question: Just how far away is forever?

"Look, I've recovered almost completely. From now on, you won't have to go through the exhaustion of walking me to school every day!" I said, making a grand show of pacing back and forth a few times in front of Lele.

This disaster swept through all the countries surrounding the Atlantic; none escaped. It was a summons from the Grim Reaper, and no one could elude it. No matter how much effort was expended, everyone ultimately had to report to the God of Death. Fortunately, this was not China, otherwise the King of Hell would have far too much on his hands.

After all, they were people from the Western Regions. If Shen Mingheng were to injure them, it would clearly be an act of going head-to-head with the King of the Western Regions.

Knowing his time was near, Yuyuantan called his two favorite disciples to his side and poured out his final parting words.

"Prince Nangxiao, what, what do you mean by this? Hmph, if you fail to provide an explanation, this Marquis will never let this rest!" Although consumed by anger, Lu Chao appeared somewhat guilty, lacking even the conviction in his voice.

Had she not emerged from the neighboring unit undergoing renovations, Ye Zhiqiou probably would have already lost control and taken action.

Clearly, they also wished to know the game objectives of Tang Yun and Lu Chuan, hoping to ascertain whether they were Class A or Class B players.

Even though the magistrate's son vehemently denied the charges in the public hall, he could not withstand the merchant's testimony, and was ultimately imprisoned on charges of rape.

With that, without waiting for Prince Kuang to respond—or rather, before Prince Kuang had even reacted, standing there blankly like a mute fool—

"Elder Shangguan Ming, I must ask you to release my senior sister!" Xi Qin immediately put on a pitiful act upon arrival, while Huang Yingying rolled her eyes secretly behind her.

Even though it was fleeting, Han Lai still noticed it. When asked for the reason, Song Duan shook his head; it seemed he would have to make a trip to the Imperial Physician's quarters later, as he feared he might truly have been injured.

Her frightened appearance made everyone feel somewhat strange. When she hesitated to answer for a long time, even Feng Yinnian could no longer stand by.

After taking a few bites, Tang Yun surprisingly tasted a sense of home, making even her feel it was utterly inexplicable.

"Actually, several of the maids inside were sent here simply for being too talkative." Hearing footsteps, Shen Qin spoke up to Xu Yunzhi.

"Annoying fellow, Yin Ruojun, you are such an annoying fellow." Moxi muttered a few complaints, turning to leave in a huff.

The Emperor paused. Initially, he had wanted to refuse, but facing his heir, he reconsidered that it had indeed been a very long time since they had sat down to have a proper conversation.

Watching Moxi's slightly trembling eyelashes and her shivering body, a scene suddenly flashed through Yin Ruojun's mind: the moment Moxi threw herself recklessly in front of him to save his life.

At this thought, Chen Shan let out a thunderous roar, instantly charging toward Su易 while simultaneously playing his trump card—a fatal claw strike carrying the aura of imminent death lunging straight at Su Yi.
