Volume 1, Chapter 33: I Have No Face to Return Home!

Assistant Li took in the reactions of the entire Ye family, including the Matriarch. Having achieved the purpose of her visit, she did not linger, rising to bid them farewell.

"Mother, since President Shen holds Qingcheng in such high regard and even wishes to form a matrimonial alliance with our family, we must not hold her back!"

"Indeed, Matriarch, you should just agree to annul the engagement. At worst, we can offer Chen Fan more compensation."

Ye Qingcheng remained silent, though her heart drifted into the clouds. She had not expected that President Shen would value her so highly, even desiring to introduce a member of his own clan to her in marriage.

"Very well, very well!" The Matriarch sighed; she knew that further opposition would be futile...

Since ancient times, rulers have been suspicious by nature; thus, the moment doubt took root in the King’s heart, his trust in Jerry was utterly shattered.

Nan Ming was unaware of the potency of Lu Chen’s Immortal Technique, which allowed his internal circulation to reach more than ten times that of an ordinary cultivator. Had he known, he likely would not have wasted his energy giving Lu Chen a chance to recover.

The moment I saw the compound bow in his hands, my heart tightened. When I traded weapons with him back then, I never anticipated the scenario of our two armies clashing today.

Xu Xiao’s smile turned awkward when his offering was rejected, but because his face was naturally blessed with a charming, ever-smiling demeanor, it was impossible to tell.

To outsiders, her brother was a ruthless demon, a smiling Yama, but only she knew that his perceived cruelty was merely armor intended to protect her and the Liu family.

Zhang Yang also rolled down his window, eager to see exactly what Lu Zhengyi saw in this Xiao Feng.

He then used divine power to infiltrate the blood, chasing down the molecules infused with medicinal properties, forcing them to seep out through Tu Jianfeng’s blood vessels and evaporate through the pores of his skin.

"Very well. I’m a bit thirsty from the walk over; Sister Chao, why don't we go to the nearby cold drink shop for some ice cream?" Sister Chao agreed immediately, waiting for Zhang Yang to give the word. Seeing such a rare opportunity for intimacy, Zhang Yang knew he wouldn't let it pass, so he nodded and told Xue Zhendong to wait in the car.

The Body Refinement section must be for tempering bones, flesh, and meridians. I wonder if, upon reaching perfection, I will be able to withstand firearms with my bare skin.

They relied on their agility, leaping back and forth among the high branches, thinking the soldiers could not catch them.

Mao Leyan retorted, "If not for the Emperor’s visit and the need to maintain the decorum of the Prince’s mansion, I would kill you!" In her heart, however, she thought: If not for the fear of implicating the Mao family, she would kill him right now.

Amidst the swirling steam, the bathtub was scattered with pale, imperial-pink petals, resembling a silk tapestry. Su Ruhui pinched one to examine it closely; they were dried apricot blossoms, rehydrated in the hot water to regain their former tenderness. The corner of her mouth curved into a mocking smile.

Feng Yihuan opened the box to find a full set of diamond jewelry, the gems casting a dazzling radiance under the light.

Finally, the leader, who had been ignored, stood up, kicking the two injured men in front of him and cursing under his breath.

"The hundred-pearl-inlaid lotus crown you gave me reminds me of a question." Huai Zhen, unwilling to be overshadowed by her, thought for a moment and suddenly spoke.

Long Jinpeng had lost his power, but like a centipede, he remained formidable even in death. Helping him now would not necessarily make him a loyal subject, but it would certainly earn his eternal gratitude.

"What do you mean by that? Is the palace so crowded that we are forced to share quarters?" The Empress Dowager replied with a light, feigned rebuke.

Nian Meng felt that if Princess Kangyue had not yet lost her mind, she should be taking a few concubines for Huo Changqing. Even if she intended to keep the child and dispose of the mother, no one would care. It was simply unseemly for a grand tutor to have no grandchildren, and for a beloved imperial consort to have no nephews of her own.

During class, upon returning to his seat, Li Hongzhang glanced toward the window three times. His Adam’s apple bobbed three times, and his brows were tightly furrowed; he was clearly nervous. All of this was witnessed by Chen Jia, who became certain that their class monitor had definitely seen something.

She waved her hand, allowing no further words from the knight. Attendants were already at hand to escort him out.

Since her child could only attend a technical college, she would have to learn a trade and find work. At this age, it was nearly time for the child to find a husband and marry.

Moreover, that day at the Lu residence, he hadn't intended for Lu Jingyu to know those things; he had only wanted to clarify matters with Tang Shiyi.

The Lang and Luo Le families had their reservations, but many people from both families had arrived in Qingyang City.

Yang Meng had a good personality and a sharp mind. She wanted to use her to get closer to Zhang Yuhuan? Fine, let’s play the long game.

"Why do I feel like something is wrong?" The disciple lingering at the entrance of the passage glanced at them twice, strode to the food delivery window, crouched down, and peered inside. Seeing that the prisoner was still there, he finally exhaled in relief.

Lin Feng was most worried about Liu Qiming; he felt that leaving these two men alive was a disaster waiting to happen. More than once, Lin Feng had considered finishing them off.

Consequently, Shen Qingming swept away the surrounding spiritual energy. Monkey City was rich in spirit, and the old ape likely occupied the large spirit stone mine.

Nodding in acknowledgment, Uncle Fu turned and left. Although he was responsible for Jianjia’s safety, he knew that Jianjia was safer by the Qin Emperor’s side than anywhere else.

Xuanyu Qi watched as Feng Xiyin’s transcendent, ethereal face turned pale, almost translucent in an instant, and he could not help but feel a pang of worry.

And the Wind-Fire Qilin Beast would only choose a master from the descendants of the Seven Territories' emperors; it would never consider anyone else.

Upon receiving the order, the Undead Sovereign drifted away from the spot. However, following Lin Fan’s instructions, the Undead Sovereign did not approach the source of space, but instead hovered continuously at a distance of 150 meters.

"There are many things where the truth is not what is placed right before your eyes! Especially hatred. That is all; you may go back now!" With that, Ye Suifeng hung up the phone.

She stared at the flying sword, as did everyone else, wondering why Zhang Xiaohan had brought it out.

But it didn't matter. As long as a guest could reach the City of Three Realms for the first time, no matter how much time had passed, if they held an obsession in their heart, they would eventually return.

"Excellent! I have locked onto their location! Everyone, follow me! We cannot let them destroy our company!" Lu Yunqing shouted aloud.
