Volume One, Chapter 82: A Harbinger of Misfortune?

"Do you think Her Highness the Princess is... cursed to bring misfortune to her husbands?" a maid whispered.

This was amusing, and more and more people joined in the discussion, leaving those who were helping Fugaku Uchiha gather information to do nothing but sigh in resignation.

Father Chen felt those words were highly inappropriate, and he even wanted to rush out and stop those reporters.

Moreover, even if it couldn’t be realized, he had already devised a safe landing plan in advance.

"The next challenger will be Ou Hao!" The instructor, seeing Qin Tian's success, felt a surge of confidence among everyone, so he seized the opportunity to send out the next participant.

"It's already late, Manni, be good. Tomorrow we can play with the Barbie dolls again, alright? Or, Daddy can tell you a story." Qin Tian looked at Manni, noticing her sleepiness, though she stubbornly refused to go to bed because she wanted to keep playing.

Chen Moye smiled as he glanced at Kong Huai, whose eyes had grown dim after hearing Yang Xi's words; he smiled but said nothing.

Rong Lin grinned slyly. The Third Hokage and Shikaku Nara were speechless—wasn’t this just setting someone up for failure?

The only flaw was that the dishes were a bit cold, and their texture wasn't as pleasant, but it did nothing to diminish the ambiance.

Anomaly breeds suspicion; the emergence of such a situation could only mean that when Baiyu Da was using the Heaven and Earth Abandonment Art, he was interfered with by some unknown force. Otherwise, the power would have been inexplicable.

Xuanyuan Rui took the cup and gulped down a mouthful of tea. The tea only made it harder to suppress the raging poison in his body.

Ding Zhonghan, whose cultivation was lacking, had been severely injured by the beasts of the Xuantian Sect. If not for Liu Ruiqian's meticulous care, he surely would not have survived. He was deeply grateful for her risking her life to save him.

"Xiao Dong, there's something I must confirm. But you don't have to answer—just pretend I never asked," Old Meng said, an embarrassed flush crossing his face.

"I'm back." Seeing the shocked joy on his two sons' faces, Bardock’s lips curled into a loving smile.

A black horse galloped forward, and a man in red leapt down from a tree, bringing another man with him. The horse never slowed, yet the man landed smoothly and sat firmly atop it.

They didn’t fly deep into the forest, but instead, in a stealthy arc, approached the tents of the Fuxi Guild. They guarded the entrance of one tent, letting the darkness of night conceal their presence; no one noticed them.

"Alright, let’s go see where Takagi got to." Gao Jiancheng was speaking when a shell suddenly flew overhead.

Yun Xiao was deeply moved by Rui’s righteous act. Rui, a subject of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, dared to defy royal authority to stand up for her. But ordinary people couldn’t afford to offend the royal family—especially this cold-faced tyrant.

Mao San felt his heart skip a beat—this was too sudden! He had only been here a few days, just starting to enjoy the good life, and now he was told this? Was he supposed to go up and die?

So when Sadako Yamaguchi understood his implication, she immediately swore an oath without hesitation.

She had already heard about Tianqi from Conrad, and knew that the person causing yesterday’s commotion was likely a dangerous element, someone who enjoyed destroying all of humanity for no reason.

"But if we build in the central desert, won’t there be energy transmission losses and security issues?" Howard pondered, voicing his concerns.
