Chapter 43

What she said made my heart feel so comfortable, indescribably so. This feeling, this sensation, was simply wonderful; I truly could not bear to be apart from her. My hand moved from her hair to rest on her back.

However, the neutral nation of Orb appeared peaceful, though it took them quite some time to free themselves from their mission.

Zhao Tian did not look back, simply saying, "Grandson, it seems Tianlu has no son, eh?" With that, he walked away.

Prince Jin’s move exploited the taut, fragile nerves of those in the palace. He openly took Consort Liang out of the palace under the cover of night. Of course, this ruse could only deceive them for a moment; by tomorrow, when the anomaly in Consort Liang’s quarters was discovered, he and Zi Xuan would soon fall under suspicion.

Otherwise, Zhang Shengshan would never have dared to unilaterally authorize fifty million in funding or initiate the wall construction project the moment he took his new post.

He never expected his scheme to fail! His father's tactics were not as effective as he had hoped. Faced with Zhu Zixuan’s smiling face, he truly did not know what to do.

"Yes, but the information I have is incomplete, so it is inconvenient to tell you right now. Let us continue discussing the current war situation," said Jill.

For the next two days, Qin Feng stayed in the dilapidated temple without making any moves. Now that Yang Ziqian had awakened, Qin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he could, he would rather leave this forbidden land immediately; after all, in Qin Feng’s heart, no ancient rubbing was worth more than Yang Ziqian’s life.

This supreme treasure of heaven and earth possessed such abilities, and he knew that the definition of time within a divine treasure space—one lost for ten thousand years—was even more bizarre.

To Zhuo Yifan’s surprise, he received a friend request during this time from "Water Dance Fluttering," who was none other than Ice Heart, the player who had firmly held the number one spot on the leaderboard.

As he spoke, "Black Moon" was unsheathed, its sharp, pitch-black blade slicing toward Tsunade’s throat.

Wu Wanwan decided to go all out. She shed her clothes, her graceful, statuesque body wrapped only in a thin, sheer veil. Under the candlelight, she was partially visible, appearing incredibly seductive.

The Golden Dragon Guardian was instantly overjoyed. "This is simple. Watch how your Grandfather Golden Dragon plays you to death!" With that, he delivered a kick directly to Chu Linfeng’s stomach. Although Chu Linfeng did not feel much pain, the humiliation was unforgettable, and in his heart, he had already silently sentenced the Golden Dragon Guardian to death.

Meanwhile, Wei Qiang heard that personnel from the Northeast Military Region were performing a mission in the border city and were staying at a guesthouse arranged by the Municipal Bureau. Now that this incident had occurred, if Wei Changzhan asked them for help, they certainly would not stand idly by. Those men were like wolves and leopards; Huo Qing and his group would never escape, even with wings.

Land of Rain, Amegakure. The members of the Akatsuki organization gathered urgently. This time, there were only eight of them.

"Very well, this Princess agrees. Your disguise technique is truly unique, and you are so beautiful. How about this: from now on, you shall stay by my side. Rest assured, I will never treat you poorly!" said Princess Yiyi.

But today, her opponent was Ji Chengche, who was audacious enough to intentionally oppose the Heavenly Dao Sect. How could she easily admit defeat? As the fight progressed, she grew increasingly agitated and furious, her sword techniques gradually falling into disarray.

Chu Linfeng stared straight at the ancestor. The old man’s injuries were even more severe than his own; his body was a mass of mangled flesh, one arm was missing, and blood sprayed continuously. His face was deathly pale, and the look of agony twisted his muscles into a hideous expression.

These people were all without exception powerhouses at the Golden Core stage. They sat there with the weight of mountains, possessing an imposing pressure. Yet, whenever they looked at Ling Xian, they always showed kind smiles.

However, time was far from enough. Cultivation could not be achieved overnight. In just a few short years, even Xu Luo, the number one powerhouse of China, had only managed to reach the third level.

Lin Qiao had not forgotten the handsome man’s appointment. As soon as she arrived at the hotel entrance, she was dragged into the room. Without any preamble, she was pushed onto the bed for a round.

Although the vassal states followed the orders of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they were, after all, independent nations, which caused the national destiny of Great Zhou and the fortune of the Southern Region to remain divided.

Just then, Lin Feng noticed a massive murderous intent in the Second Prince’s eyes; he was staring fixedly at Doro Khan’s wine glass.

Following that, an iron claw descended from above, grabbing the Empress Dowager’s shoulder, intending to hoist her up.

Li Chen showed her the bedroom. The guest room where she would stay shared the same style as the rest of the house—minimalist, dominated by grey and white tones.

She had access to his office and knew the password to his safe. Therefore, she could take his official seal from the safe at this very moment.

Why did that handsome man from last night follow here? If she chased after him, wouldn’t she run straight into Young Master Jiang?

This roommate was named Gao Shang, a native of the three northeastern provinces. His speech was very distinctive, often peppered with catchphrases like "Oh my god" and "Old iron." During their three years of college, everyone in the dormitory had almost had their accents corrupted by him.

The boss hadn't even been gone for two days, hadn't brought the person back, and was talking about work the moment he returned. Had he been shut out? Or had the young mistress remarried?

Wang Lingli looked troubled. Originally, according to the initial arrangements, there was a segment to invite Elder Xie to paint, but it had later been removed by Zhu Kang.

"Wait a moment, classmate. Everything else for the art exhibition is basically done; there’s nothing left for us to do. Besides, there are so many people attending the exhibition that it’s getting crowded. Why do you still want to go over there?" Fang Shishi asked, somewhat puzzled.

Like Li Zimo, he also had a secret side that he did not want her to know about. And her father was clearly even more clever, as he hadn't let her notice it at all.

How stupid, why did she have to say it was a dumpling from Yuyang Palace! If anyone asks later, she should just say it belongs to Consort Xian.

Tong Min and Tong Ling arrived at Peony Palace. Both of them looked much more haggard, especially Tong Ling, whose face was gaunt and who had become increasingly frail.

The Demon General suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly turned his strike into a grab, seizing Huang Tiangang by the throat with lightning speed.
