Niannian is always thinking of my best interests.

"Jiang Nian, the time your chest was stabbed and you were heavily injured—was that because you were kidnapped by Sister Meng?" Xiao Ru asked Jiang Nian with a look of absolute shock. Although she had known about the matter long ago, she still pretended to hear of it for the very first time.

Knowing that Xiao Ru was not trying to help her, but merely seizing the opportunity to step on Meng Yingying, Jiang Nian gently nodded, "Yes..."

"How could such a thing happen!" Xiao Ru turned to Meng Yingying, "Sister Meng, how could you be so cruel! What deep hatred or resentment could possibly drive you to kidnap someone and stab them in the chest?"

Relying on earthen pits to kill zombies and relying on Li Ling to manually slaughter them, by the time Li Ling had run more than three laps around Mingzhou City, the number of zombies had already been halved.

Seeing her look over, a smile broke out on the young man's handsome face as he strode toward her. Although he tried his best to conceal it and walked very slowly, he still could not escape Feng Qingyao's eyes.

The view here was exceptionally vast. Even on a gloomy, overcast day, Li Ling could clearly perceive the expression in Shen Lang's eyes.

Xia Hongxing knew he would definitely cry over this running joke. What the hell was with the admission ticket fee? Everyone watched the spectacle of him, yet who was going to fork over the admission ticket fee for him?

Actually, some people wanted to tease Luo Yicheng, but seeing his stony expression, they had no choice but to tease Gu Ye instead.

Hundreds of Fang family commoners sat huddled together in the cave to rest. Some wore dazed expressions, still unable to snap back to reality from the sudden, massive natural disaster; some looked sorrowful, silently shedding tears for relatives who had perished in the magma; while others wore expressions of mixed grief and joy, harboring the quiet relief of having escaped death by a hair's breadth.

Today, everything was crude and makeshift, and the enthronement ceremony was rushed, all of which Sima Zhen could accept with equanimity. However, had anyone other than himself ascended the imperial throne today, he would have frantically dragged that person down from it.

The couple could not fall back asleep for the rest of the night, and only dared to emerge once dawn broke. Having started crying then, the tears had lasted right up until now.

While raising a hand to pull Guo Guo back, Yun Xiyue's other hand beckoned toward the distant woods. Suddenly, a group of figures emerged slowly from the forest. The leader looked somewhat pale, with a vast stain of blood spreading across his waist, appearing to have suffered a rather severe injury.

Hearing July ask about Red Moon's whereabouts, Muxixi said, "She looks quite well, with an extraordinary complexion, and even said that everything is now in place on her end, lacking only the east wind."

"This is far simpler than mere scholarship!" Wu Jin said, "The regulatory standards for this kind of architecture are extremely high; ordinary mortals cannot afford to enjoy them. Moreover, these five ridges and six beasts are ancient divine beasts. If this is truly meant to ward off evil and suppress spirits, I'm afraid this evil entity is extraordinary." Wu Jin spoke with a trace of dread.

Although Jia Zheng did not dare to reside in the main quarters of Rongxi Hall, living even in the wing rooms was still a tremendous elevation of status for his family. Did they not see that Jia Shuo, the heir to the title, could not even move into Rongxi Hall?

Zhang Sanfeng put on the appearance of an aloof master and addressed the sky. The enemy was in the shadows while they were in the light; once the opponent launched a sneak attack, it would undoubtedly be fatal. Zhang Sanfeng did not have absolute confidence that the opponent would appear, merely attempting to bluff them.

The reason he brought so many subordinates to lay an ambush was genuinely out of fear that Xu Yang might collude with the rebels of the Red Flower Society and approach together.

He had personally come to Western Zhejiang to oversee disaster relief matters precisely to nip trouble in the bud—the vast majority of the realm's taxes originated from the Southeast; this great granary and treasury especially could not afford any turmoil.

The Blood Dragon Guards were Tang Mu's most crucial trump card. Even after nearly a century had passed and the Blood Dragon Guards had long since faded into the history of Tang Mu, July was unwilling to give up. The task entrusted to her by the Empress Dowager,叮嘱 repeatedly—she refused to believe it was merely groundless rumors. The Jin State must surely conceal what she desired.

"What is there to be afraid of? Isn't Commander Xia right here? Could he possibly swallow me whole?" Long Qing smiled.

Who would have known that his brother-in-law, Liu Shipan, would suddenly be recalled from mourning to resume office, and upon returning to the capital, invited him to a meeting? Hearing him express his reluctance to take up a post away from the capital, Liu Shipan told him on the spot that he was being foolish.

An invisible, unknown, and formidable aura rapidly expanded outward, as the cultivator watched the spiked club appear to come alive at that very moment.
