28 New Year's Dawn

Using her status as a noble consort, she ordered them to fall silent, claiming she had been sent by the Saint and would take responsibility for any consequences. How could the guards resist the whim of a highly favored consort? She left Ah Shuang outside and slipped in successfully on her own.

Perhaps due to inner doubts, Cheng Jinsong looked at Shen Yan with an involuntary air of scrutiny. Yet Shen Yan showed no intention of explaining, instead turning his gaze away—a characteristic gesture of avoidance for him.

Very well. Since there was no point, he would quit. It was useless for anyone to stop him; this was something he had wanted to do for a long time, and he had finally made up his mind.

According to the theory of a divine presence, or the belief that consciousness is everything, every choice is an expression of the self.

The ingredients for the Divine Spirit Pill are all extremely rare medicinal herbs, especially the primary component, the Cloud-Lin Flower, which was considered an exceptionally scarce treasure even in ancient times.

Anger exists only because the reality of events clashes with the narrative woven by the ego.

Empress Wang was pleasantly surprised and couldn't help but recall the days when they were first married. Finally, she left, feeling joyful and sweet. After sitting alone with Wu Guanyue for a while, Li Longji departed from Xianchi Palace.

Her body stopped trembling and her legs no longer felt weak; the effect was truly remarkable. People always say traditional medicine is slow to act, but from the moment Zhang Hao made his move to the moment he withdrew the needles, only three minutes had passed. Huang Li felt her body lighten, as if all her ailments had vanished.

Chu Feng’s primordial spirit instantly detected the scene unfolding in the Great Chu imperial capital. His face turned livid, and his eyes blazed with fury.

Ye Tian gulped down several mouthfuls of seawater, feeling a tearing pain throughout his body as his consciousness began to fade.

"Damn it, how did you know?!" Li Xingchen was startled, looking at Lu Chen with astonishment.

It was just past nine in the morning, not even lunchtime yet. If he set off from Shuyang now, he could reach Fruit Tree Village before dark, and Yu Xia would still be able to make it in time for dinner with his family.

After speaking, he shivered, his gaze involuntarily drifting back to Chang'an. He couldn't tell if it was just his imagination, but the chill he had felt moments ago seemed to have vanished.

It was quite unexpected that Yue Zifan wanted to team up with him. It was clear that Yue Zifan was a sharp individual; although he looked to be only in his early twenties, he possessed a strategic mind for gaming that surpassed ordinary people.

"Someone who is about to change your future!" the middle-aged man said, approaching with an air of immense superiority. He appeared to be of Asian descent and spoke in standard Mandarin.

If he were to intervene, Ye莫 might not be able to hold his own. Shen Jinghao was a formidable figure whose influence spanned the entirety of Suhai City. If he were to act first and report later, the military district wouldn't even have time to rescue him.

But later, his boss, Li Ping, insisted that the possibility of remarriage was slim, so he extinguished that thought.

Seeing the two staring at him with annoyance, Li Yang cursed inwardly; indeed, one must not let success go to one's head.

Leviathan leaped backward abruptly. The sword, having lost its target, seemed to possess a consciousness of its own; it raised its serpent-like head and continued to pursue Enfield. Behind Leviathan, the surrounding space manifested countless water spears, which shot toward the advancing Enfield.

They were merely ordinary third-rank mystery masters; why should the two of them stoop to colluding with such people?

Li Mengmeng drunkenly accepted his caresses, hoping that the man she relied on could lead her out of her inner darkness. It was inconvenient for her to reveal her father's illness at the moment, but she still longed for his comfort.

Now that the Yanjing farmhouse had been open for many days and had repelled several attacks from the Qin family, and with Old Man Wu there to oversee things, it was time to return.

After handing the money to Morris, Lin Dong and the others left the area and returned to the hotel.

However, based on Lan Wei and He Ling’s years of experience, any place under heavy guard and strict security was bound to hide unknown secrets, or perhaps someone of great importance was inside, engaged in some clandestine activity.

"In the name of God, I declare you husband and wife. From now on, no matter..." The priest’s voice echoed slowly through the underground hall. All the couples held hands tightly, fingers intertwined, their eyes brimming with tears.

Looking at the herb in his hand that resembled ginseng, Zhou Yi realized it was merely a low-grade item, nothing truly valuable, and certainly incomparable to what he had found in the water earlier. Still, for people of this era, having such a treasure was already quite something.

Moreover, by normal human lifespans, even the most long-lived would be reduced to bones after several hundred years. The reason the old scientist had survived until now was because he lived within the artificial Underworld constructed by Yao; the moment he left that place, he would turn into a skeleton.

As Lin Ying and his group pressed onward, they continued to find survivors, who then joined their ranks. Over the course of several days, the number of people in their party gradually began to approach one hundred.

Heidi remembered the night she received the news; her mother had taken her to the graveyard. They could no longer find her father’s grave there—graves were stacked upon graves, for too many had died.

Zhou Yi understood exactly what Money-Eyes meant; the guy was clearly fishing for a fee.

While they were talking, the roar of an engine echoed from afar, and a Bugatti Veyron came screaming toward them.

Wu Yifan, inside the room, had wanted to investigate the noise outside, but Ke Yun’s heart-wrenching screams had already explained everything.

"What kind of help does France need from Germany? Please be direct, Prime Minister Dume." Stresemann also began to speak plainly.

Ji Xuan arranged for Yue Bai to be moved to a new room and ordered the imperial guards to reinforce the perimeter of the guesthouse until it was impenetrable.

The moment the man saw Yu Lu, his eyes lit up with a glint of greed; his lecherous expression made it perfectly clear what was on his mind.

"Yes!" the butler replied, immediately calling two servants to drive to the island's supermarket to buy ingredients.

Back at the sect’s base, Lin Jin raged at Zhao Yunxiao in his room. This was the first time Lin Jin had ever been so angry with him.

This tangled emotion left the Second Princess unable to catch her breath; she glared at Yu Lu, unable to utter a single word.

In England, ever since Lian Rong left, every time he thought of that country, he was reminded of her.

When the flame thrusters spun up instantly, Reshiram’s body was immediately enveloped in golden flames, and even its two blue eyes glowed with the golden, undying fire.
