Chapter 56

In her era, the antidote for cold poison was a commonplace item, sold in almost every apothecary.

The fact that several top-tier actors and actresses were competing for it proved that the production had genuine substance and was highly unlikely to be a front for money laundering.

Since Lingbo's eyes had already come to this, the only thing she could do was to try her best to make amends. She had usurped the original owner's place, so this could be considered repaying a debt of gratitude.

"I just wonder if he is up to any mischief back in the palace," Zhangsun said with a worried expression, feeling a secret vexation as well.

To her surprise, not only did Zhang Dongtai not weaken, but it seemed as though some mysterious force was constantly supporting him. After battling fiercely for a long time, not only was it difficult to tell who had the upper hand, but Reiko actually appeared to be the first to flag.

Tan Jin sui also smiled helplessly as he hung up the phone and set about dealing with Li Miqi's matter. As for Su Cha, she didn't bother browsing Weibo to look at those aggravating comments, choosing instead to wait quietly for the final outcome.

Once the hour of Chen had passed, the weather grew increasingly scorching. The number of people entering and leaving the city dwindled significantly, leaving the gates sparse and uncrowded.

This scholar clearly forgot the old saying about walls having ears, and his words caused several pairs of ears nearby to perk up and listen intently.

They encountered almost no one along the way, save for two seemingly intoxicated fellows who staggered past the roadside. However, Tony and Brown Bear spotted them in advance, knocked them out directly, and dragged them into the shadows by the side of the road.

The reason Xu Liangguo was so emotional was that he saw hope—he saw the hope of China standing proudly at the summit of the world.

He had no idea what time it had reached, perhaps around daybreak. Suddenly, a series of urgent gongs and drums rang out on the street, sounding as relentless as a death summons.

"Six hundred million? There's that much?" Zhuo Yue was also a little surprised. Their previous estimate was around five hundred million contribution points, nowhere near six hundred million.

Fortunately, as an immortal race, angels possessed the ability to regenerate as long as their Angel Hearts were not destroyed by opposing dark forces of a completely contrary nature.

At this moment, she probably believed that Cui Min was determined to draw a clear line between himself and the Cui family because he had listened to Xue Chengjiao and been bewitched by her.

It seemed as though Yu Dehua took particular pleasure in seeing Li He deflationed. Upon entering and seeing Li He's exasperated look, he hypocritically patted Li He on the shoulder and said, "Why so dispirited, young man? Every trade has its master, right?"

Instead, taking advantage of Jeonbuk Hyundai pushing up their attack, the Longteng team launched a succession of brilliant counterattacks.

Ayao remarked that the person in the story bore no resemblance to the everyday Pei Shuo, but hearing news of him was still a good thing. She hadn't received a letter from Pei Shuo in nearly two years, save for the day after her coming-of-age ceremony when Xidong came to report that their young master had left the capital yesterday to join the northern expeditionary army.

"You're here," Aixi said casually, using a familiar tone as if addressing an old friend.

The difference this time was that he would not slip away quietly again. He was now fully capable of bearing everything; even if Zilei, the Time Guardian, intervened personally, he would stand unshaken and unafraid.

After Leona left, the conference room of the Supreme Military Council plunged into complete darkness. Darkwell sat alone in the foremost seat, slowly closing his eyes as he fell into deep contemplation.

At Shen Fen's request, the reporters on the scene finally temporarily suspended their questions, waiting for Liu Chengming to speak.

Their love story was quite dramatic, and it was inexplicably entangled with an elven mage who had long since vanished without a trace. It was just that the young lady's past bore some scars, leaving Mo Shi Gong Zhe to tend to her with meticulous care.

They were not members of the Mermaid Royal Family, so naturally it was not their place to discuss the princess's current actions, nor could they say much. All they could do was to forget everything they ought to forget, and close their eyes to what they ought not to see.

At this moment, Chen Xi felt as though his body contained an infinite space, continuously expanding to give birth to new universes—an extremely incredible phenomenon.

"Roar!" More than a hundred high-tier time-travelers around them could no longer restrain themselves, rushing frantically toward Birses and the others.

"Awooh!" Yakumo Yukari let out a mournful cry, then her eyes widened as she frantically struggled within the gap, clutching her neck in agonizing distress.

Some members of the Holy Descendants could not help but feel sorrow welling up inside them. Since when had their holy lineage ever suffered such humiliation?

The rolling black qi gradually retreated back into the crater, and the terrifying black dragon-python withdrew its massive claws. Had the old goblin not intervened, it might have already batted the unicorn in the sky away.

Yes, why did Rumia and Ellie quietly choose not to participate this time? Because Reimu and Marisa were playing house, and Ellie and Rumia simply couldn't bring themselves to lower their pride to join in—mostly because they lacked the necessary level of shamelessness.

If Fang Yun were still around, he might still have had some reservations, but now that Fang Yun had left, he had no reason to hold back whatsoever.

Sisi lay against the edge of the boat, plunging one hand into the seawater to stir it around as she asked Lu Yan with bored indifference.

"I heard our Young Master Lin was hospitalized, so Mother asked me to come take a look..." At the mention of Mother Lin, Lin Qing felt a sudden jolt in her heart... It had been so long since she last saw her mother. If not for Wei Xuan, she wondered just how desolate she would have become by now.

His chest still retained that familiar warmth and scent that brought her peace and comfort, making her yearn to indulge in this fleeting moment.

The reporters stopped prying, their attention lingering between Wei Xuan and Lin Qing, their cameras shifting back and forth between the two.

Ever since she saved that young nobleman, Lu Ruicheng felt as though she had grown somewhat suspicious, no longer possessing her former carefree self.

In her dazed state, Wei Xuan was utterly unable to calm her mind enough to comprehend what the problem was teaching, and she stared blankly at the blackboard for a long time without uttering a word.

Bringing Ruirui to see Xuan Junhao—how could the old crone possibly object? If she were to suggest taking Ruirui to see Mo Beichen, the old woman might accuse her of favoring outsiders and actively helping strangers.

Yun Zhuo had actually already hacked into the evidence using her hacking skills earlier, but she had simply chosen not to reveal it yet.

Ada clearly knew that her previous remark had made him somewhat uncomfortable, so she didn't dare to bicker with him any further.

After the helicopter landed steadily, everyone except the pilot jumped out. The young reporter quickly pulled out his camera to take photos, while Lin Rain and the others joined the people tending to the wounded on the riverbank, carefully lifting the injured one by one onto the aircraft.
