Volume 1, Chapter 69: The Young Lady Is Not Drinking the Contraceptive Decoction?
Yu Tian raised her head to look at the tightly closed door, only to realize that the outside had grown quiet at some unknown point.
"Hahaha!" Xu Huang also laughed, went inside to pick up his weapon, and walked out the front door.
Even Ye'er was utterly astounded by her own princess's unprecedented boldness; since when had the princess become so open-minded?
Although the Golden-Haired Lion King answered earnestly, neither of them had actually employed the Divine Travel Technique, so it was obvious there was something fishy about the situation. The Lion King spoke thusly purely to make a laughingstock of him.
As a result, upon entering the hall, she bumped into her teammates, led by Baldy, who had formed a group to go to the kitchen and gawk at her and Ji Ke.
Mu Lingxi truly sighed inwardly; the distance from here to her humble abode was indeed quite far. If she were to walk back on foot, she would likely not make it until dawn.
Baili Yuxiao reached out to stop Furong, looked at Feng Yao, and said indifferently, "You must have seen it in a dream."
"My Lord!" Feng Xing hurried up to meet Zhang Rang. The Ten Attendants were covered in mud from head to toe, with a layer of dust coating even their faces, looking as disheveled and wretched as could be.
From the day He Jin was assassinated, it meant that Empress He had largely lost the support of her external relatives. In an instant, she fell into a state where she had no one left to lean upon.
"Wu Dao, I'll give you one minute to take your filthy hands off my fiancée! Otherwise..." Nangong Hong rose from his chair. The usually gentle and refined gentleman suddenly looked like a puffed-up leopard; although his voice was not shrill, his tone clearly carried the weight of a roar.
She silently gnawed on a chicken foot, occasionally sipping her fruit juice, all the while more determined than ever to give Rong Zhaoxi the cold shoulder.
Guo Yi'er heard their conversation clearly from beside the two of them, and a growing sense of unease settled in her heart. How was it that Zhang Yangyang knew about this, while she remained completely oblivious regarding Gu Linbing?
Once His Majesty had recovered slightly, I stepped forward to perform the courtesy of thanks, lowered my head, and recited that sharing worries for His Majesty was Ning'an's bounden duty. The aging emperor smiled faintly and signaled for me to be seated. At that moment, a shout echoed from outside, announcing the arrival of the Dongmu emissaries.
For over a dozen consecutive days, An Yan managed to intercept every single braised pork knuckle destined for Chu Qiang, and then handed it over to Mu Zechi with a face full of dark lines.
I found it a bit difficult to fathom. Every five-star hotel had its own greenhouse garden, yet Qin Dongli still hired someone from the outside to decorate? Was he simply burning money out of boredom?
"Previously, I was unaware of the existence of the Demon-Suppressing Stele, but through the four words 'Eternal Suppression of the Divine Continent,' I managed to connect all of this together," Wan Jianyi said.
Wu Feng paced back and forth. This was a difficult problem, but with very little time remaining, if he refused, his only option would be to turn back.
The two drunkards stumbled and staggered as they made their way out. The street was desolate and cold, and Yang Lingxiang broke into a loud song about letting the mortal world accompany them and living a carefree life.
As he spoke, he extended his right hand with the middle finger pointing upward and the other four pointing down, forming a posture resembling a crawling quadruped.
Just as Yu'er was deep in thought, suddenly, a face abruptly magnified right in front of her. Startled, Yu'er almost fell flat on her buttocks to the ground.
That handprint was both illusory and real, profound and unfathomable, filling the surrounding people with novelty, as they had never witnessed such a method before.
Just as I was about to withdraw my gaze and tell my great-grandfather what I had seen, I noticed Guangtong's expression suddenly turn excited. He sprang to his feet and began hopping around erratically yet rhythmically across all directions—front, back, left, right, and all around. Watching his landing spots, they seemed scattered yet followed a discernible pattern.
Speaking of Nalan Yin, he was a figure on the level of a divine physician. Furthermore, ever since coming to the Dao Realm, his medical skills had advanced by leaps and bounds, proving to be stronger rather than weaker even when compared to the alchemists of the Dao Realm. Now, provoked by Li Chao in this manner, his competitive spirit was instantly triggered.
The others nodded one after another. They knew very well that staying by Ye Feng's side was bound to be dangerous, but rewards and risks were directly proportional. If Ye Feng were to rise to prominence on the strength of this, they too would transform from common sparrows into phoenixes.
"It seems increasingly likely to be the Primordial Purple Qi. Aside from the Primordial Purple Qi, I can hardly imagine anything else possessing such miraculous efficacy. By the way, you must not use this purple qi so recklessly to heal your injuries in the future, or you will easily attract the suspicion of discerning people!"
The Fang, Liu, and Ji families had originally all been prominent households, on intimate terms for generations, bound continuously by marriage alliances across multiple epochs.
With Gao Hua's human identity confirmed, and coupled with the Fox clan's welcoming standards, the various clans speculated that he must be the human representative supplying goods to the Fox and Diao clans. But what was the purpose of the humanoid bear beast so obviously accompanying Gao Hua? Consequently, the gazes of the various clans shifted once again to the Bear clan chieftain.
"You couldn't possibly have failed to establish even a single base camp after all this time!" Qin Chuan could see right through what they were pondering and smiled bitterly.
"Are you living in my house and paying me rent?" Li Qingfen suddenly interrupted, asking quite seriously.
"Yes, yes, yes, Sister Chuntao, we won't speak of it anymore!" The two maidservants replied repeatedly, hurriedly turning back to their chores.
Within her eye sockets, the whites completely vanished, instantly consumed by pitch-black pupils. The entire eye sockets plunged into absolute darkness, resembling a pitch-black night sky where one could not even see one's own hand.
As things began to develop, Hua Mei had hinted to Wang Nuo to submit articles so as to help build up a reputation for Benefactor Wang, but... Managing Director Wang stated he had no time.
The four people inside the room simultaneously released their true qi, four distinct auras churning within the space. The atmosphere grew tense with swords drawn and bows bent, on the verge of breaking out into a fierce brawl at the slightest disagreement.
"Do you hate me that much?" Hua Xuanji curled her lips into a cold smile, her gaze toward Hua Guancai brimming with disdain.
Regardless of which angle one considered, it established the fact that the total volume of capital participating in the futures market was increasing. An increase in capital signified an elevation in the level of combat, which meant... Wu轩 felt too ashamed to face Wang Nuo again.
"You're pregnant." Narrowing his cold and thin eyes, Ye Hua forced a somewhat strained smile. He reached out to tuck a stray lock of hair behind Hua Xuanji's ear, and seeing that she was still in a slight daze, he heavily repeated the statement once more.
A week passed, and Wang Nuo dumped all matters onto Li Zhaofeng and the others to handle, while he himself plunged headfirst into work and study at the research institute and Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. He concerned himself only with the movement of funds and... the efficiency of energy harvesting.
