She wasn’t quite sure what exactly she was angry about; it was just that the Fourth Prince’s attitude earlier was even more exasperating. His cousins and younger relatives treated him like a thorn in their side, constantly provoking him with sarcastic insults. Darkness blurred her vision as a handsome man draped a bathrobe over her head, then gently lifted her to the surface of the water.

Along the way, no matter how Comrade Old Nan and Nan Chuqi tried to hint or coax, Nan Qiyue refused to utter a single word. When Zhuo Yilan heard that Chu Lange had actually brought her food, his eyes sparkled with delight. Just as he was about to stand and go greet him, he caught the faintly mocking—no, more like derisive—look on Zhang Jian’s face nearby, and promptly sat back down.

“Did Eunuch Rong have any other instructions?” Zhuo Yilan sat beside her, naturally picking up her teacup and drinking the remaining tea in one gulp, then refilled it from the teapot, thoughtfully handing it to her with a look that said no need to be polite.

Miao Miao also sensed the terrifying hostility radiating from Gu Qingyan and pretended not to notice, quietly getting up and walking away. Though they had narrowly escaped danger for the moment, there was no guarantee the old man wouldn’t come after her. She had to stay in peak fighting condition, but even unleashing all her trump cards might not be enough to overcome him.

After walking for an unknown length of time, Chen Jun’s mind finally calmed somewhat. He hurriedly took out his phone to contact Liu Yu, but it was turned off. A sense of foreboding surged in his heart. Could something have happened to Liu Yu?

The group passed through the bustling marketplace and arrived at the deepest part of the underground cave. After a long walk, the noise faded considerably. After turning three corners, they noticed that at some dead-end spots along this passage, guards armed with weapons stood watch. These men were all at the peak of the Earth rank, some even experts at the Celestial level.

Wang Dazhuang exhaled deeply, then carefully informed Xu Mo about who the members of the four families were, their direction of transfer, and the secret signals used.

“Of course! I’ve been eager to test myself. I also participated in the cup competition in Japan last year, though our team only took second place,” Gao Chuan mentioned with a hint of dissatisfaction.

During the Battle of the Yellow Sea, Ding Ruchang commanded the Beiyang Fleet to adopt a horizontal formation, severely restricting the fleet’s maneuverability and the organic coordination of artillery fire. The ships acted in disarray, and poor command led to the loss of five vessels in the Beiyang Fleet, while the Japanese suffered many casualties but lost no ships.

He hired renowned teachers to instruct his two sons, demanding that they surpass Zuo Zongtang, who had only achieved the rank of xiucai, in order to avenge their father.

Therefore, Cheng Lingsu’s medical skills might even surpass those of Ping Yizhi. Treating Li Wei’s father’s cancer was almost a certainty.

They had been walking through the forest for a long time but still saw no trace of the demonic beast. However, Luo Yu noticed that this forest was strangely dense. Some trees, which outside only grew to about a person’s height, here stood like towering pillars, enormous, their flourishing branches blocking out all sunlight.

In this brief time, Bambi Aita regained her composure and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Her complex gaze settled on Fang Lang as if wanting to etch him into her memory.

But now, with Wei Suo, a formidable figure, as a powerful backing, Liu Mang no longer cared about the Chen family or the so-called top ten commercial clans.

“It’s nothing... I just knelt too long and haven’t recovered yet. A little rest will fix it,” En Cheng said, face pale and lips purple, waving weakly as he steadied himself on the Eight Immortals table, then sat down in the grand chair opposite Li Hongzhang.

Moreover, the fireworks lasted for more than ten minutes, so much so that over half of the citizens of Nanao City came out to enjoy this once-in-a-century spectacle.

“How exactly did he do that? How did he manage it? I... I can’t recall... How did he do it?”

If they got involved in this matter, they wouldn’t survive; many families in the courtyard had little wealth.

Wu Changfeng’s head spun around more than a dozen times on his neck before staggering to a halt. His unwilling, grim face met Ye Feng’s cold expression.

The sixth realm Divine Dao’s self-explosion was like a hundred thousand iron cavalry trampling the wasteland, or like a demon god howling from the depths of the underworld. The tremendous sound shook the heavens.

Later... Consort Yu went mad and attacked her, tearing her clothes. Surprisingly, Ji Lingzhou didn’t stop it; instead, he ordered the guards to drag the disheveled woman away and administered a whipping in front of so many concubines.

One order followed another, yet gunfire still echoed inside the ruined city.

He couldn’t understand. Though he was about to divorce Ning Zhi, when answering Lin Qingci, the image of Ning Zhi smiling at him in a white dress suddenly appeared in his mind.

The Southern Domain was the territory of the six demonic sects. If any treasures or secret caves emerged, they would likely fall into the hands of the demonic cultivators.

For the sake of future entertainment and to prevent boredom, Huang Gaofeng wouldn’t oppose it.

“What do you mean nothing’s wrong? Father, how could you not have the family send me a message? What if...” Ma Xiulian complained, then turned to ask Ma Chengdong.

Ignoring Su Ye, Romney reluctantly put down the void stone in his hand, then picked up a green rock from the ground, eagerly checking its quality.

Appearing on this level was a man dressed in black brocade, his face gentle. Unlike ordinary people, he had fiery red hair. At this moment, the red-haired youth was continuously playing with a pill in his hand, his eyes fixed on Su Yang without blinking.

“Then, after drinking cola, no matter what happens, we’re friends,” Du Youjia said meaningfully to Xu Xian.

“Where are the other elders? Why haven’t they arrived yet? The time is already up,” Yin Yan furrowed her brows slightly, asking Elder Liu.

Fengjing stared dumbfoundedly at his blood bar suddenly depleted, while Su Ye’s cold voice echoed in his ears.

Han Xin didn’t know that the enemy army strictly followed orders this time, completely quashing Chang Kong Xingyu’s intent to see if Han Xin was really that Han Xin, causing them to lose a chance to meet.

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd below erupted in uproar. Chen Mingyu and the others’ faces abruptly changed, suddenly becoming lively—sometimes shocked, sometimes angry, and ultimately flushed with embarrassment, a deep sense of humiliation swelling in his heart.
