"Huahuo, where have you gone wild again? Aren’t you afraid of being eaten by other beasts?" Baili Qianmu lightly tapped Huahuo’s head.

The flying carriage carried Abel and two followers to the palace gates. The carriage and the two followers waited at the gate while Abel entered the palace.

Could it be the other two advisors? No, after some thought, Sarutobi Asuma dismissed the idea. If Yunkong had captured them as well, his father, the Third Hokage, would not be idle but would have already gone to demand their release from Yunkong.

Originally, the three from Yunkong were just capable Genin who relied on their summoning beasts’ abundant chakra to repeatedly unleash ninjutsu, allowing for brief combat possibilities. To foolishly attempt to assassinate Uchiha Fugaku, an elite Jonin, was utterly reckless.

Just like the Baolai Chess and Card Room run by Chen Jun, Da Sanyuan was not Guo Zhanshan’s main business. It was not expected to earn big money but was more for socializing. So after Da Sanyuan was shut down, Guo Zhanshan’s mood wasn’t too bad.

Thinking about having to deal with many seniors upon returning, he felt an intense headache and immediately fixed his gaze on Mo Xian.

Tang Mi’s mind instantly recalled the profile of the Lord of Pingyi County, which included details of her extensive marital history.

At this moment, all fatigue from the day vanished in his heart; he only thought of forging a fine sword, a weapon he would painstakingly craft with his own hands.

Wang Huaien was merely a branch family bastard. Even with the Wan family’s protection and favor, he had no power to cause trouble in the Duke of Anguo’s mansion.

Xuan Shen appeared very displeased and was inexplicably angry at Qin Ye’s threat. Then he wielded his whisk again to strike at Qin Ye. This time, Qin Ye was mentally prepared beforehand, though he couldn’t clearly see the opponent’s movements or predict Xuan Shen’s attack.

Finally, he looked up at her. The moment he saw her smile, radiant like a brilliant star, his heart involuntarily longed to embrace her. He could hardly wait for her to come to him.

Ling family had casually mentioned that the Empress might not survive the next ten days, so Su Han kept a vigilant eye on Qi Shan, just in case.

Getting sidetracked, to return to the point: now I have reached the old tree, turned around to face its back, yet the blood monster hiding behind it remains utterly motionless, which makes me feel both strange and tense.

That is truly strange. The health practice of drinking soup before meals is unknown to anyone in Chu State, so where did the Fifth Prince hear about it? Qu You lowered his head, absentmindedly ladling soup, spoon after spoon, unaware even when some spilled on his collar.

Inside the hall, the Imperial Guard surged forward. They yanked off everything from the Empress—the crown on her head, the clothes on her body—leaving only a thin undergarment that wrapped her exquisite figure.

Otherwise, the Emperor would have either agreed or refused outright, or punished decisively. Although Prince Xun did not claim to know the Emperor well, he understood that this time the Emperor was only neglecting matters when angry, and would punish afterward.

Xiao Shen felt troubled but could not abandon the family entirely; he had to make the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Zhennan bear the grievance.

When Bai Zhi opened the door and entered, she saw Sima Jinghong standing under the moonlight.

My face darkened. This fellow usually acts cunning, so why is he now only saying useless things? In this vast white space, everything seemed changed. Those four wizard ghosts appeared solid, naturally afraid of being pierced by weapons.

—— As a wealthy traveler who never considers expenses, is making such a detailed travel plan being picky?

I was silent for a moment, eyes shifting, suddenly noticing several dark shadows lying on the ground nearby. Among them, one seemed familiar. I walked over and found it was Mu Ling lying there.

Fan Seng was stunned for a long time after hearing this, unable to speak. He thought this princess truly had character: rejecting a life of wealth and glory to live a hard life.

Xia Junfan and I exchanged glances and naturally followed them out. But just as we stepped out, I suddenly remembered Ning Ling. Although we were unsure if Song Yan’s soul had possessed her, we could only prepare for the worst.

I looked carefully and found that Ding Ding’s box for snacks was actually the biggest. No wonder when I mentioned inviting guests for dinner yesterday, his attitude changed completely.

Only rage nearly devouring all reason supported the Frost Giant King to keep resisting.

“What do you think should be done about that director called Peng Haoming?” Li Yunxiang asked, recalling the matter.

Axin was caught off guard, blood splattered all over his face. Yet he did not retreat because that strange root-like mass behind the fence was stirring restlessly, seemingly trying to seize the moment when Axin was afraid to leap out and attack him, just like how it killed the Demon God child.

Chuxin suddenly grabbed her hand and rushed through the forest in anger. Feng Xi kindly comforted her, “You’re not ugly, just not as beautiful as Changqin.” Back in the human world, she hadn’t noticed, but now, as she grew older, she suddenly realized how stunningly beautiful Changqin was.

After ten o’clock in a big city at night, for many who enjoyed nightlife, this was when their exciting day truly began.

Sure enough, about ten minutes later, the phone rang again. It was Ding Ding calling. I guessed he was having fun over there, so he took some time to laugh before composing himself and calling me.

Luo Tianxiong listened, a joyful expression on his face, and walked briskly. He had to hurry and share the good news with everyone.

The Emperor’s face twitched with fury, his eyes filled with hatred as he glared at the Empress Dowager. His expression seemed to wish to tear her apart, but no words came out of his mouth.

Wang Shouren had full trust in him and granted him full authority to make decisions. Pei Yan did not disgrace the trust, repeatedly reclaiming islands and reefs occupied by the Japanese pirates.

Fu Hetong secretly envied and was jealous, yet also annoyed by his own inexplicable excitement. Suddenly, he sensed that the atmosphere around him was off.

“Sister?” Luo Jinghao suddenly understood. Her face instantly flushed deeply with nervousness and some embarrassment. She opened her mouth several times but couldn’t utter a single word.
