Shangguan Yuxiu didn’t know where her courage came from, but suddenly she had a bold idea: she would save the Third Prince and overthrow the Master Shengding.

“King Sheng Kaixia, there’s no need for such polite words. If one day King Sheng Kaixia unifies the western territories, who will be higher in status then?” Jun Tian smiled and replied gently, before asking further questions.

Wherever Chu Xuan passed, ghost bats fell one after another beneath his aura shield that resembled sharp spikes. At the moment they hit the ground, the ghost bats burst into flames and instantly turned to ashes.

“This Wu Younian is really determined this time—he’s brought the army to settle this with us once and for all!” The gang leader scratched his head and mocked.

At this moment, if anyone had just shown a bit of courtesy or apologized, the matter would have been resolved.

“Don’t worry, my first target after I’m out will be that trumpet.” The old man declared passionately.

The entire fleet numbered several hundred people. Aside from their leader, the Scarlet Flame Spirit Emperor, and his two Spirit Kings, the others were either mere spirit cultivators or ordinary mortals. Yet, relying on their numbers and their skillful ship raiding techniques in the desert sea, they had caused many mercenary groups to suffer losses.

Wang Xiaoli opened her mouth but, seeing Fang Yuan’s background, ultimately held back from speaking.

Xu Jingyou leaned toward the young lady’s ear and whispered the whole story. Her expression changed instantly, and she turned to leave.

“Remember to come back and visit your sister when you have time!” This was the only thing Mu Qiurong said as Yun Qi was leaving.

“Master, what should we do? The Purple Jade Armor’s defense is incredibly strong,” Yun Han asked, retreating from the shock.

Luo Liyan breathed a quiet sigh of relief and dared not let Yi Zehao choose another hairstyle. She glanced at her phone and picked the simplest style, then started trimming for him.

I wanted to ask, but my mouth wouldn’t open. My eyes and mouth were covered, and everything around was pitch black. I moved my body and found my hands and feet tightly bound. I tried twisting slowly to loosen the ties, but they only tightened. The kidnapping was quite professional—I was completely immobilized.

How did things come to this? Because the person in charge of the siege was a general rapidly promoted by Zhang Xiaoheng in the heat of battle. His name was Li Yingchun.

The next day, Ling Yitian and Qin Zheng took a flight back to City C. As soon as they landed, Qin Zheng was eager to return to the studio.

After the Jindouyun army effortlessly broke through the desperate fortress wall at the Ashgabat pass, James led ten thousand Jindouyun troops, ten thousand Bear Walkers, and ten thousand Tiger Strongmen toward Guchang County.

The two exchanged a glance and nodded slightly. With a wave of their sleeves, the massive stone door weighing several tons slowly opened. The leader bowed again before leading the seven inside.

“No disturbance, no disturbance. There’s plenty of time for construction in the future; how could we trouble you, sir?” The eldest brother was not only enthusiastic but persistent, refusing to let Cuizi stay outdoors. No matter what excuse Cuizi gave, it was useless. I almost laughed to myself watching this.

They hesitated, still considering that if Princess Mingzhu came to support them again, they might all face a grim fate.

For some unknown reason, the two embraced, exchanging heated words, their hands exploring each other’s bodies.

“You’re carrying my child now; I will make sure they acknowledge you,” Lu Huaifeng said, holding her firmly.

“Where did grandpa go in the middle of the day?” After opening the door and placing the greeting upstairs, he grew suspicious. The stove was cold; he thought no meal had been prepared yet.

Li Tiezhu’s way of raising his son was simple: disobedience meant beating, and no spoiling or indulgence. Above all else, his son had to have upright character. Because of this, Li Erlong was indeed well disciplined.

Because this place was closest to the extreme north, there were seven or eight hundred cultivators gathered here. Being nearest to the countless fragments of the northern realms, it had a larger population than other places.

“It’s said that countless demon spirits and evil creatures are sealed beneath the Old Master Temple, so strange and eerie things often occur around it. Just like yesterday, it was as if we had encountered a ghost,” I quietly explained to Ergouzi.

He gently entwined her tongue with his, and she shivered slightly, enduring his draining.

Chen Jiachang’s face flushed with shame. She deliberately stomped on the other’s foot and exposed their secret in public—a truly unforgivable act.

The official commissioner grew even more fearful and uneasy: “N-no, I dare not! Honored guest, please spare me!” He kept bowing rapidly, making a buzzing sound. The floor was covered with a thick, pure white carpet, so there were no loud thuds.

“Thank you.” Although Yun Liangyan didn’t know what effect swallowing the pill would have, she appreciated Qin Fen’s kindness.

“Come back now, I want to see you.” This sentence left her speechless. She could only reply quietly. He had already hung up. Qianqian looked at the time on the screen—ten seconds.

Could it be true what the rumors say, that the princess had finally fallen out of favor? That the emperor was fed up with her capriciousness and unreasonable behavior?

Li Shimin had a good mindset. Li Yuan never asked about state affairs, yet whenever Li Shimin encountered problems he couldn’t understand, Li Yuan would offer guidance. Thus, no matter the time, whenever it was unrelated to state matters, Li Shimin would always invite Li Yuan to the forefront.

However, ninety percent of the passengers on the ship had no mood to enjoy the scenery. They all sat behind the rocks, gasping for breath. Only then did they feel the sensation of solid ground beneath their feet. The ship’s swaying and dizziness made people want to die.

Leaning back in the chair, letting her massage his temples, his eyes fixed on her as he called her name softly.

Sleeping until eleven thirty at noon, Ning Yuanlan suddenly woke up and habitually turned over. He wasn’t in the room.

Xiao Ran felt a bit more favorably toward Ruan Xinru upon seeing how she treated her beloved sword with such care. His mood brightened as he followed her inside.
