Huang Shu was stunned and choked by my words. Had he known this would happen, he wouldn't have bothered waking him up with urine—wasn't he just asking for trouble? The fellow quickly waved his hands, looking like a stubborn child who refused to do a thing and let the world do as it pleased.

Qin Han and Tang Yu exchanged glances. Both could see that Fang Hao had truly reached his limit. Although he tried his hardest to keep up with them, physical endurance cannot be overridden by sheer willpower; it merely allowed him to last a little longer.

The imperial-grade energy of the Cosmic Core was far too domineering. In the dream world, practically no one other than Hao Hongliang could absorb it.

Gu Ling'er submerged her entire body within the pool water, leaving only her head exposed, the surface of the water resting just below her lips.

In this household, the only person on good terms with Rong Ning was Rong Jin. If she were to tell Rong Jin about this, would Rong Jin immediately turn around and report it to Rong Ning?

This was a name bestowed personally by the Emperor. It is said that in his youth, the Crown Prince was immensely wayward and unruly. Later, after accompanying the western expeditionary forces to the Roman Empire, he returned completely reformed. For this reason, the Emperor specially established a palace named "Tranquil Mind," hoping that the Crown Prince could calm his heart and apply himself to his studies so that he could inherit the grand enterprise in the future.

Damn it! When I finished speaking, the entire hall erupted into an uproar, filled inside and out with sounds of mockery. The imperial concubine's complexion instantly turned to the color of a pig's liver as an invisible fury began to brew.

For an evil god to conceal itself within the world and remain undetected is impossible unless it actively stirs up some trouble; otherwise, catching it is entirely out of the question.

In comparison, Terumi Mei abruptly realized that the Hidden Mist Village she currently led possessed no advantages whatsoever.

However, the domestic battlefield was far from optimistic. Before long, they were utterly defeated, resulting in a dynasty change. Stranded in a foreign land, this great general and his subordinates were unable to return home. Their logistical supply lines were severed, their ammunition was nearly exhausted, their provisions were on the verge of running out, and they were utterly powerless to fight any longer.

In City A, had Gu Zhaochuan not met with disaster, today's An Corporation would undoubtedly have been the most dazzling presence in the entire city.

How should I put it? Ever since the three maidens stepped through the door, Tiona, acting as the younger sister, had always behaved in a carefree, utterly innocent, and cheerful manner.

Just then, the door to the second-floor storage room was suddenly pushed open. Christine, holding Edward's arm, squeezed out with an impatient expression on her face.

Didn't they clearly hear something amiss with Prince Xiao's flute music earlier? Therefore, Prince Xiao must have suffered a rebound injury from that melody. Wasn't it entirely normal for him to vomit blood and faint?

"Elder sister, why did you suddenly bring this up?" Xi Fuwei asked, somewhat surprised, thinking to herself that you haven't even managed to catch your own wealthy catch yet, so why are you suddenly so invested in other people's business, whether it's Yao Zhuosu or me?

It was entirely white, including its roots, and stood only about twenty centimeters tall. Its stamen was long and pointed, and its opposing petals resembled the wings of a white bird.

"Aunt Bi, have the fifty strikes been completed?" Raising her calm silver eyes without a single ripple, Qinghong merely swept a glance at Noble Consort Shu before shifting her gaze entirely to Bi'er.

Gu Anxi's palms instantly grew cold. She wanted to say something, but since she had not yet achieved her goal, it was naturally inappropriate to speak further.

At midnight, Duan Lin sat on the roof of the county office prison, gazing up at the starry sky, his mind in complete turmoil. Duan Lin had originally calculated that the Wang woman would be sentenced to beheading. Magistrate Diao's verdict that the Wang woman was forced into adultery stirred Duan Lin's thoughts once more, making him scheme about how he could be together with her. Tomorrow, the Wang woman was to be executed by slow slicing, and Duan Lin instantly lost his composure.

This medicinal pill did not have any specific name, but its effect was exceedingly obvious: it coordinated with a surge of spiritual energy to detonate oneself.

Ye Lan pulled out this silver dagger and viciously stabbed it toward the hand emerging from the ground. With a single strike, the hand instantly retracted back beneath the earth, seemingly escaping.

Early the next morning, Fan Zhao went to the Hongyun Restaurant. Yezawa Ichiro's injuries had improved considerably; the swelling and bruising on his right wrist had subsided, and he could already move it slightly. Fan Zhao performed acupuncture on Yezawa Ichiro for the better part of two hours once again.

"You've finally woken up. You have no idea how worried we were during all those days you were unconscious." A'yun couldn't help stepping forward to speak to Lin Xueyao. She had never imagined that the two of them would meet again in such a manner. It felt just like a dream.

On the other side, Liuzi drew out that steel wire from her bracelet. With a single wave of her hand, the flexible and soft steel wire suddenly lost its pliable form, transforming entirely until it was sharp as a sword blade.

Huo Ziguin felt that his estimation of the divine clan man's strength had still been too conservative; in reality, he might be even more powerful.

A procession of troops set out, arriving at the central area of Luoyang City, located one li south of the imperial palace's Changhe Gate and west of the imperial thoroughfare. To the east lay the Grand Commandant's Mansion, to the west faced Yongkang Lane, bordered to the south by the Zhaoxuan Bureau and to the north by the Censorate. This was an exceptionally prime geographical location.

"So it's a painting? I thought it was a real person, it gave me such a scare. Such a lifelike painting, let me go properly appreciate it." With these words, Junior Brother Xiaoxu turned and ran into the room, leaving even Fu Shixi without enough time to stop him.

Yun Zhen knew that Xu Hui had deliberately sent Ziyuan away to create an opportunity for the two of them, but he still felt that something was amiss somewhere. Turning his body slightly backward, he happened to catch sight of Xue Ji and Yu Shiya standing side by side, looking down at him from the high platform. No wonder his spine kept feeling a chill from time to time.

"Old Master Wang, how could I deceive you? It's true! That young gentleman not only managed to get up on his own, but a moment ago he also devoured nearly ten catties of meat and rice in one go. If you don't believe me, go ask him yourself." This was Mingyue's voice.

Because no one knew where the Human King was ultimately buried, not even the descendants of the Human King, as the events of that era were far too shrouded in secrecy.

Yet he found nothing at all, because there was completely no aura of living beings here. Recognizing this, he knew that this was definitely not a place ordinary people could ever reach.

As for He Yuchen, he was completely dumbfounded. First casting a cautious glance around, when he spotted Yan Xue through the spiritual barrier, his eyes instantly widened.

Ye Fan reacted with lightning speed, catching the flying needle between two fingers. The moment the needle settled between his fingers, Shangguan Qiuyue was utterly shocked.
