Volume One, Chapter 56: The Princess of Dakang

Seeing Rushuang kneeling in kowtow, Liu Qi was somewhat surprised. He glanced back at Zhuge Xiao and asked, "Did you tell them everything?"

Zhuge Xiao replied, "Since Your Highness intends to take them away, I naturally told them everything."

Liu Qi looked at Rushuang and Ruxia and asked, "Do you believe it?"

"With the Imperial Jade Seal in hand, Your Highness is the destined ruler," Rushuang said.

After a moment of silence, Liu Qi said, "The journey to the land of Han is long and arduous. If the two of you regret this, you may speak now."

Ruxia was about to say something, but Zhuge Xiao added, "However, Your Highness's identity must never be exposed. He is currently the only hope for Great Kang, so for the sake of..."

Nobody would wear cheap clothes bought online to an upper-class gathering. Even if the price was not low, once labeled with the mass-market stigma of the internet, it instantly degenerated into something unsightly.

Hearing this, Tang Beiwei waved her plump, fair hand and said with feigned nonchalance, "It's fine, this isn't a big deal. Besides, I think your hometown is actually quite nice, especially the vast expanse of pristine wilderness up in the back mountain."

Precisely because of this, when needing to find a manager to helm Weibo Technology, Dai Peng thought of him immediately and strongly recommended him to Wang Wei.

Upon hearing the word "hospital," Wu You whimpered and waved his hands frantically. In his limited understanding, hospitals were places where flesh received painful injections, and he refused to go.

Mid-air, Zhang Chulan's body spun uncontrollably through three hundred and sixty degrees, instantly leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

This brand of cigarettes was smoked by only one colleague in the entire township government, and that colleague bore an extremely heavy family burden, with two young boys at home and a father suffering from a severe illness.

Chu Tianyou had asked the system whether, given all the changes he had made, Feng Baobao would change across the two space-times.

The Great Witch Jiufeng came personally to the Forging Hall, causing the gathering of Wu clansmen to halt their work and come forward to pay homage.

The original sugar-making process lacked steps such as distillation, filtration, and cold extraction during refinement, resulting in muddy, impurity-laden blocks of sugar. On one hand, this was due to substandard equipment; on the other hand, producing higher-quality sugar would undoubtedly increase waste and loss.

In the end, he could only swallow his grievance and endure it, then approached the head of the financial department who tossed him a paltry five hundred yuan as his current month's salary, not even factoring in the deductions for taking leave, framed hypocritically as the company's care for its employees.

The impact that dream had brought me was far too intense, so I took up an easel and painted the dreamscape. Gu Xi saw it the moment I finished painting. We even discussed it back then, and when the truth was later revealed, I had a sudden awakening that the dream was actually warning me, yet pathetically, I had ignored it, and Gu Xi had cleverly brushed it past.

Seeing Wang Jian speak in this manner, as his disciple, Li Saibao was naturally astonished. He had not expected this blow to deal such a devastating emotional injury to the old man, reducing him to a state of utter despair. Whether Wang Jian's words were true or false, Li Saibao could naturally tell.

Without waiting for Mother Lin to put it down, Great Princess Jing'an impatiently pinched one and popped it into her mouth.

At this moment, facing the armored warriors once again, Xiao Chen would often deal a heavy blow with a single sword strike, depriving them of the ability to resist, and then hand them over to the warriors behind him.

That Lu Jingyan—she had previously attempted to approach him as well, when he had come to Jiangcheng on business some time ago.

Unable to break through after prolonged attacks, Longlide transitioned from initial fury to calm, knowing he had finally encountered a match.

Lin Jiajia washed her hands and, reaching out to dry them, noticed that a used square towel in the dish had been left discarded on the counter with no one tidying it up, while the cleaner was absent. Hesitating slightly, Lin Jiajia could not help but take the towel to the sterilization room nearby.

She had declared to Wanzi Longxi that they would handle it, but it had continuously been delayed due to matters on her own end.

When it spewed gas, I instinctively withdrew my sword and covered my nose. However, seeing the two collapse into unconsciousness, a surge of anger rose within me, and I slashed forward with the male sword, wishing to annihilate it instantly.

Frightened by this ordeal, the warrior dared not stand up immediately, fearing other traps might be laid out across this mountain slope.

However, she had truly never seen such advanced equipment. This protective film was designed by Gu Lengze, and if sold on the market, Gu Lengze's creation would surely explode in popularity.

"How are you talking to Ninth Brother!" Baldy grew frantic. Having followed Ninth Brother for seven or eight years, he had never seen anyone dare to curse in front of Ninth Brother. From the moment Zheng Riyong arrived, his actions had been grating on Baldy's nerves. Now, the fiercely loyal Baldy could no longer endure it and prepared to fight Zheng Riyong on the spot.

Yet at the same time, her cunning eyes flashed sharply, and a mad, vicious scheme crossed her mind.

Ziwei acted with extreme caution. To prevent any contingencies, she walked outside to take the phone call, acting all mysterious.

Watching Tang Tiancai walk in that direction, Li Ran rushed from behind and grabbed Tang Tiancai's clothes.

Inside the room, he unexpectedly saw his father also out of bed, sitting on the sofa with a lighter in hand, attempting to light a cigarette for himself.

Thus, this type of curse technique had all but vanished on Yunlan Island. Even then, whenever anyone heard the mere mention of its name, they would still tremble with fear, for curse techniques were truly terrifying.

"As long as you can catch this, this round is your win!" Fang Jing roared. At that moment, the Sumeru Imprint fiercely blasted out from the void, resembling a Buddha slowly revealing its true form from the distant void, though its body remained illusory.

Zhan Xiuxiu acted even more ruthlessly. Before another priest could take the sacrificial knife from the one whose legs Tang Tiancai had pierced, Zhan Xiuxiu used her powerful crossbow to shoot him in both thighs with consecutive arrows, dropping him to the ground unable to rise. Zhang Qing followed suit and shot down the remaining priest as well.

Gun-kata missile trajectory prediction was completely useless now, because Chen Mo was not shooting from a distance; instead, relying directly on his formidable close-quarters combat skills, he thrust his palm right in front of the target, firing from a distance of less than ten centimeters, leaving no trajectory to speak of.
