Bamboo Horse Wish Challenge (7)

After nightfall, the Princess's Manor was exceptionally bright. Adorned with luminous pearls, the entire estate appeared remarkably radiant, luxurious, and opulent.

"Promise me that in this lifetime, you will never fail her!" She gripped Nangong Yixiao's hand tightly, her eyes suddenly bloodshot.

Terrified, Feng Qianxia tumbled straight to the ground. She scrambled backward, her eyes filled with absolute fear.

Meanwhile, outside the examination classroom, parents and examinees looked at Senju Ryumura with some puzzlement, wondering why the chief proctor for this freshman entrance exam had suddenly rushed out and what he intended to do.

Orochimaru and Bijuu both nodded. The recent situation in the ninja world was treacherous and unpredictable; they were well aware of what Shun of the Hidden Stone Village represented. It signified that Konoha, or perhaps Senju Ryumura, was the mastermind behind the current standoff between the Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Stone Village along their respective borders.

Her bangs were parted casually and diagonally, then gathered loosely behind her head and secured with a white jade eight-toothed comb.

His low voice revealed neither joy nor anger, and those sharp eyes were like a bottomless swamp—one glance, and you would sink deep into them, unable to extricate yourself.

Sarutobi Hiruzen convened a pre-war meeting, where the heads of all major Konoha clans stood obediently, preparing to voice their opinions or receive orders.

"I'd appreciate it if you'd shut your mouth. I want to sleep." Before she had even fallen asleep, her morning irritability was already flaring up.

She had thought her strike would hit the target dead center, but she had forgotten about the Heaven-Shattering Dharma Vase behind her, which ended up sucking her own body right into the vase as well.

Her physical vitality had been severely depleted over these past few days. Her five senses were gradually abandoning her, and now it had finally come to her sight. She remembered very clearly that her older brother had died the exact moment his vision completely vanished.

During the wait, Shen Liancheng comforted Li Yingning, handed her over to the accompanying wet nurse, walked out of the room, and entered the front courtyard.

Led by Gu Dayong and Zhang Yong, the eunuchs all wished to replace Liu Jin's position and become the Emperor's closest confidant.

Yesterday, when she used the time-reset technique, she had completely erased everything that happened after those two ability users appeared on the 24th floor.

Li Ji remained silent. How could he not know the reason behind the Emperor's choice of him? Yet he had never imagined that to attain this position—second only to the Emperor and above all others—he would ultimately still have to swallow his pride and compromise.

Note: Chapters 385 and 386 have been merged together. The chapter order is correct and viewing is unaffected.

Furthermore, this matter was not entirely grim. Those shot to death were all men from the Eastern Depot; from this perspective, the Eastern Depot was actually the victim.

The sky was filled with burning pieces of wood and charred human corpses. The soldiers below could no longer maintain their battle lines. Aside from those who stared upward, frozen and unable to move, all the other soldiers fled in every direction, desperate to find anywhere they could just to escape this terrifying rain of fire.

As Ma Liangdong spoke these words, Lin Muyan beside him wore an expression of deep emotional resonance and being moved.

The demon-hunting beast walked past Ekcuva, and "Yin" also sensed that Ekcuva was somewhat peculiar, letting out a few low growls at him.

The jade quality was exquisite, pure and flawless, much like how jade resembles glass. Through the transparent jade, people could clearly see a figure lying inside the coffin.

This was truly an unexpected joy, let alone the fact that it had already become a legend on Earth—meaning that through his remodeling of Earth, it had become legendary there as well.

Ye Xuan's horizons were growing ever broader; much like an emperor sleeping with his concubines, not every concubine who washed herself clean and stripped off her clothes could expect the emperor to visit her bed and favor her.

The capital they dared rely on to attack the Shark faction was these thousands of ferocious Dunkleosteus. Due to a partial rebellion by the Dunkleosteus, the Bone Claw people's plan completely failed.

No doubt, nobody knew how Lin Haoyu had managed to instantly kill Zhongli Ji, and certainly no one would ever suspect the realm of domains.

Even if a rat is a rat, it is still a monster. Even if it goes uneaten, it is best left for the purple cat.

The Juntan people were the primary enemies of the Nether clan, so the Nether clan might not necessarily make a massive move against Luoxia City. What baffled people was why the Sharu people had abandoned this city.

If you are jealous that my mother is younger and more capable than you, you should have just said so. Talking trash about my mother behind her back amounts to what, exactly?

After Di finished his uninhibited and cursing words, there was a momentary silence across the entire scene. All gazes turned toward Zhan Xintang. Although Di's words were hard for everyone to believe, seeing how intensely angry and aggrieved Di was made it seem that even if there were misunderstandings, the matter could not be entirely false.

I had originally expected that upon hearing our conversation, Mu Zi'ang would exhibit some sort of drastic behavior.

She dared not struggle rashly, nor did she dare utter any insolent words, fearing that if she angered the man beside her, he might just toss her right down.

Seeing that Luo Yuling readily agreed to the appointment, Nangong Jin immediately stood up. He did not want to stay in this carefree palace a moment longer.

Rong Yan offered a desolate, bitter smile. "Qingmu, you know what? During the half-year you were gone, I figured out one thing: I would rather you hate me than be just a passing traveler in your life. If you must hate me, then hate me for the rest of your life." Hating him for a lifetime meant remembering him for a lifetime.

Yet he saw his own soul gradually decaying, filled with filth and covered in dust, completely devoid of that sunny and bright appearance it once had.

"Hahahaha..." Seeing Gongye Nan's disheveled state, Yao Qingmu clutched her stomach and burst into laughter.

Liuxi's spiritual power and martial arts maneuvers were chillingly demonic; her witchcraft and sorcery techniques were feared by all, yet matched by none.

She thought for a moment and said, "My name is A'zhen!" She even flashed a smile, though she directed it toward Tang Liuchuan's direction.

The prison door creaked softly in the dimness. Hearing the sound, Li Shuqiao jerked her head around. The moment she saw it was Li Shuci, the profound disappointment in her eyes could no longer be concealed. "Why are you here?" It was neither a question nor an exclamation—just a tone as calm as stagnant water.
