Chapter 160: The Old Man Riding a Pig

"When he came the first time this year, he gave me a packet of powder and told me that someone nicknamed Goldtooth had arrived at the South Gate Hall and would reach the mouth of the alley at ten o'clock tonight. He instructed me to wait at the alley entrance, beg from him deliberately, and take the opportunity to smear the powder onto Goldtooth..."

Hearing this, I felt my entire mind go blank, and I asked with a trembling voice, "Was that powder poison?"

...

After sitting and chatting for a while, the other concubines left first. Ling Wanmei did not leave; she sat by the bedside and looked at her with a frown.

"I don't know, I guess it might be Lin Xiaoqi." I frowned. Making a phone call this late probably meant it was only Lin Xiaoqi.

Wenrou was attending to Noble Consort Shu's bath when she heard the news that the Emperor was coming. She hurriedly helped her out of the tub, applied the roasted mugwort leaves, changed Noble Consort Shu into a light and thin gauze nightgown, and then assisted her outside.

Seeing how much Yangyang cared for Qingqing and how sensible he was, the knot deep inside my heart was untied. Whether I gave birth to a younger brother or a younger sister in the future, Yangyang would surely care for them just like this.

Her heart had turned half-cold, and it had not warmed up ever since. Although she and the Second Young Master only shared a nominal marriage in the Xiao residence, this sense of humiliation still caused her to begin resenting him, to the extent that whenever they met in private thereafter, the two of them would inevitably exchange a few quarrelsome words.

The last sentence struck Tan Lingxi's mind like a series of massive hammers, leaving her frozen in a state of shock without a word. Tan Lingxi stared at Tan Xingyun with an incredulous gaze, seemingly unable to believe what she had just said.

It was an eerie shade of deep blue that chilled one to the bone. The tattoo clearly looked like a pure and delicate daisy, yet it was imbued with such a ghostly color.

However, Yuchi Jin lacked any patience at this moment. Without dodging or evading, he directly took the two palms from those individuals, channeling the internal energy from his Dantian straight into the attack. The two of them clearly could not withstand such a fierce and forceful internal energy, and on the spot, their meridians snapped, leaving them with severe internal injuries.

"What time is it, and you still have the mood to joke?" I sat expressionlessly in the passenger seat, vaguely feeling a trace of unease gradually spreading in my heart.

Seeing Yuchi Jin like this, Ye Muyao did not know what else to say. She only felt that she was truly pathetic, still unable to turn a blind eye to the man before her.

Indeed, even for him, there was no absolute certainty of success. The only thing he could rely on was his slight advantage within the Black Wood Battlefield.

Therefore, with no other choice, Xu Wuyou had no option but to act. He certainly could not just stand by and watch the wild dog and the large black bull get into trouble.

"Can you tell me why you believed it?" Aunt Xin felt as though she were in a dream, yet she clearly was not dreaming. Precisely because she was not dreaming, she asked the question with that surreal, dreamlike feeling.

The score of Americans clearly did not expect one of their own to be sent flying by the collision. In the split second of their daze, the seamlessly coordinated sharp-edged team flashed forward like lightning.

This obviously was not a problem that Xu Wuyou and the others should be worrying about, so it was directly thrown to the back of their minds by them.

The old man looked at her, then glanced at Shen Shi, and let out a couple of humphs. Seeing that Shen Shi did not step in to help, he remained silent as well.

However, for an entire village to relocate was no easy task. It required the explicit consent of the imperial government.

The burly man's shrill, agonizing howl served like a warning bell, striking the ears of the thugs and cooling them down from their festive frenzy. These people turned their heads one after another, casting malevolent glares at the provocateur. Upon discovering that it was only a frail and slender youth, they instantly let out threatening roars.

Eight players from a total of eight countries—Huaxia, South Korea, Japan, Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, and Thailand—successively took the stage.

Misty Peak was not a place just anyone could visit. From the time Ling Hao entered the Misty Realm following a travel group, to later encountering Lu Maocai, and then following the white-robed Elder Ji to find Xia Yuqing... the entire process was clearly traceable and could be thoroughly uncovered with just a minimal investigation.
