Liu Zaijun asked Kim Je-dong to host the event. After hearing the invitation, Kim Je-dong accepted without hesitation.

Before Jiang Yao could finish speaking, the lights in the venue suddenly dimmed. Everyone turned to look and saw a virtual spell screen appear in the air above the square at the center of the venue. A string of numbers began counting down across the screen.

You Niang lowered her head and followed along. When they reached the entrance, however, she stopped. No matter what was on her mind, she refused to leave with Qing Yun. Turning around, she glared fiercely at Qi Yao.

“Wang Zhen has evil intentions and has bewitched the Emperor, who blindly believes everything he says. His Majesty is blessed with great fortune and destiny. Heaven will protect him, and he will be fine,” Wang Hui said without sitting down.

Her son was right. She was the future Empress Dowager, and she would ultimately become the mother of the realm. As for the Wei family and the He family, from the moment her son, Zhen’er, was made Crown Prince, they should no longer have been regarded as rivals.

Huang Yizhen’s golden needles really were made of gold. With gold used at the tips, they looked bright and gleaming from the outside. But his true purpose was not to show off. He used the gold to adjust the weight of the acupuncture needles, and its presence also kept the silver needles from rusting so easily.

Zeng’s ancestral home was in the Southern Commandery. He had been born an ordinary commoner, and the previous generation had not passed down even the lowest noble title. When his generation came of age, he happened to encounter Ying Zheng’s first census of Qin’s population. After being registered, he was able to join the army.

Ghost Fiend was somewhat suspicious of Wang Tianyu. At present, he was especially curious as to how the Ghost King knew about this exit.

Feng Yu, a Divine Gift-tier cultivator, had been famous for many years. He was a genius of speed, and none of the people facing him were his match.

Liu Zaijun had originally planned to eat barbecue as well, but Kim Eun-joo was worried that it would be too late. With no other choice, Liu Zaijun could only ride his bicycle and take her home.

According to Liu Ya, the dangerous period had passed. As long as she recovered gradually, she would get better.

“The Guo family brought quite a few people this time. They should all be members of the Guo family!” Tong Haoyang explained.

Dai Mao knew quite a lot about Lan Juan and Wang Kuifei. The moment she saw them, she had also glimpsed parts of their future. It was not difficult to judge a person by the things they had done. Although Dai Mao had little confidence in their ability to raise children, she could not deny that the couple were good people.

This year’s harvest was crucial. Beginning next year and continuing for the following three years, all grain would be handed over and then sold back to the people. There would be a gap during that period, and if the resupply arrived too late, some people would inevitably go hungry. Therefore, this year’s harvest had to be abundant.

He felt somewhat helpless toward this friend of his, who usually appeared dull and steady but, whenever excitement took hold, became ten times more impulsive than he was.

The moment those words were spoken, the First Elder finally came to his senses from his rage. He hurriedly pried open the Second Elder’s hand, which was gripping Xing Chen by the throat.

“We can eat it, but you cannot! It belongs to the sea clans. You are not allowed to persecute them!” The statement was utterly unreasonable.

Sure enough, the moment he said this, silence fell inside. Guo Ling’er was thinking and struggling. She knew that Long Shaofeng was no ordinary man. Although she did not know what he was doing, she could more or less guess how dangerous it was.

Because the two teams were several kilometers apart, Wolf and Perlin calmly began assigning tasks as soon as they heard the gunshots.

“Vaguely, I’d say there are fewer than two thousand. Judging from the situation, they’re not far behind our guild in number,” the spiritual cultivator answered honestly.

Looking at Ouyang Che’s food box in front of him, Li Zhishi naturally welcomed him inside with delight. By then, the fatty had already finished gnawing on a chicken leg, while Mu Qin had polished his sword until it gleamed. Somehow, the scene seemed a little strange.

“Let’s go!” Upon hearing the voice, Jia Zhengjin immediately summoned the counterfeit dragon, carried Erma onto its head, and flew swiftly toward where Sienna was.

Chen Bing was also beginning to feel exhausted. They had only covered half the distance, yet both of them were already sweating all over.

“Sit down. Let’s have a casual chat.” Yue Lang was remarkably friendly, pulling Jia Zhengjin down beside him and pouring him a cup of wine.

After finally waiting until the hour of Chen, Wu Song heard the neighboring teahouse open and immediately rushed out. He was actually a little nervous. This was his first time meeting the most celebrated singing courtesan of all time, and it truly felt like someone who had been eagerly awaited for ages was finally making her appearance.

He walked over and lifted the black cloth. Beneath it, pressed into the sand and gravel, lay a piece of red cloth. He recognized it as the strip he had tied in Li Shishi’s rear courtyard. Delighted, he brushed aside the sand and gravel, revealing a large barrel of cooking oil and another barrel of sulfur and saltpeter.

“I can’t describe this song.” After examining every word, every note, and every syllable with painstaking care, Li Qiu could find no words to describe it. A song that could move someone simply through its lyrics and musical notes—what words could possibly be used to characterize it? Li Qiu truly did not know.

“Who could be coming at this hour?” The husband and wife were both puzzled. A servant went to open the door, and the moment it opened, the servant was stunned by the young man’s appearance.

After having Ye Bin help him tidy the room, Shen Xiu went to the window and dialed her number. It was answered moments later, and a familiar voice came from the other end.

“Oh my God, what an incredible dog!” The master cast a glance forward and saw the large black dog running toward them. His eyes instantly widened.

In the past, Yaya had only known how to obey Dullhead’s commands. Whatever Dullhead told her to say, she said; whatever he told her to do, she did. She had been like a soulless puppet.

The moment the words left his mouth, Ying Wu saw the male beside him suddenly shove aside the beast carcass and walk straight toward Hou Ruizhi.

After Zhou Kun escorted Jia Yun to the rear street, it was already completely dark. He did not linger and turned to leave.

He Shan first examined the wet soil clinging to the weeds, then pinched some between his fingers and licked it.

“They used searchlights and coal ash to keep me from seeing the surroundings clearly and stop me from coming out of the cave. Then they planned to lure a dog over to bite me.”

The moment she came out, Yadan flapped her wings and tried to circle above Su Le’s head to express her excitement.

After getting off the plane, Shen Xiu hurried home without stopping and returned to the courtyard house he had been away from for so long. His parents were both at home that day, and they were delighted to see their son back. They carried his luggage and poured him water, leaving Shen Xiu deeply unaccustomed to such treatment.

Once his mind was made up, Wei Xiu’s expression grew even calmer. He reached down and picked up the porcelain bowl from the floor, pretending to examine it while rapidly searching his memory for everything he had read about antiques, trying to find something that matched.
