Volume 1, Chapter 52: Xiao Shi is Nangong Xi

Although living like this can feel monotonous after a while, these past few days should be the most perfect of my life, and similar days will never come again.

Fang Ting chuckled secretly beside me. I just glared at her fiercely before returning to my own bedroom, closing the door tightly and putting on my headphones, instantly bringing peace and quiet to the entire world.

Seating arrangements are a serious matter. Once your status reaches a certain level, you naturally get a seat; if your status falls short, you can only stand off to the side, with no seat to speak of.

The man surnamed Mao glanced again at Lin Yin standing beside Gongxi Wanwan, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he said, "I am Mao Qingrui of the Beggars' Gang. Why do both of you wish to make things difficult for my disciples?" Although polite, his words failed to distinguish right from wrong.

In less than half a day, Li Yan returned, and Leng Bao immediately surrendered outside the city. Wei Yan captured Fucheng without spending a single soldier or a single arrow, and he was overjoyed, bestowing lavish rewards upon Li Yan.

"Oh, not at all, not at all," Dai Jin said, hastily waving her hands in fright. "You misunderstand me, sister. Such words must not be spoken carelessly." As she spoke, she glanced around. Fortunately, there was no one else in the palace.

"Thank you," Xia Xue nodded at me politely. The coldness in her eyes from earlier in the day was gone, replaced by a sense of helplessness.

After picking up the bride, our wedding convoy was originally scheduled to take a detour around the suburbs before heading to the hotel. However, with all these delays, it was already past eleven o'clock, and we had no choice but to head straight to the hotel.

That Demonic Sword had turned the imperial court upside down and thrown it into utter turmoil. Many people harbored their own ambitions; once an accident occurred, their opportunity would arrive. Now the Emperor felt the time was ripe. The halls of governance are never smooth sailing; for so many years, the Emperor had simply been tolerating the ministers beneath him.

To sleep soundly for twenty years for no reason at all, while remaining completely oblivious to it yourself—you call that nothing much? And on top of that, you expect people not to keep asking questions?

When it comes to making money, how could anyone refuse? Since they know how to run the business, I can just hold shares and collect profits, and step in to back them up if any trouble arises.

Consort Yan had long been extremely envious of her and had even plotted behind her back to deal with her. But Consort Chu was truly someone who had stayed with Mu Lixiao for a long time; she remained completely unaffected, resolving the matter herself without even troubling the Emperor.

At that moment, however, the Sea God's Envoy suddenly leaped forward and fiercely slammed into Li Jin.

The most crucial point is that if every single matter poses a threat, then that matter will inevitably yield some different result. Therefore, in matters like this, no one can claim to represent the final outcome.

Within the massive underground space, people were currently swarming. Over a hundred members of the village were engaged in fierce combat with the enemy in the giant timber yard of the underground settlement.

This was a technique she had comprehended herself during her cultivation. She discovered that when her internal spiritual energy was abundant, she could guide the spiritual energy from her Dantian to form a protective shield.

"Fine," Yu immediately nodded and said, "However, even if you let us go, I won't be grateful to you. Farewell!" With that, he shifted his posture and, supported by his subordinate brothers, limped away in a slow, halting gait.

Although the time the two of them had spent together was not long, because Lin Moxue had cared for her so meticulously, Lu Zining had long since regarded Lin Moxue as her own biological sister in her heart.

They, too, had loved ones waiting for them far away. Though they could not return, they would not let down those who awaited them. They were willing to fight for the ones they loved until the very last moment of their lives.

Thinking back on his actions now, I find them disgusting. How could I have been so foolish back then? Ye Yao said with a smile.

In speaking these words, Tsunade's heart was actually aching deeply, and at the same time, she was afraid.

The First Prince's words made Murong Jie's face turn even paler. He shouldn't have said those things to the First Brother just now; he was simply too frightened and had overlooked the greatest possibility—that their Imperial Father would recover.

Admittedly, Lefiya and her group joining the moe alliance did not truly detach them from the Loki Familia, and they even obtained Loki's personal consent.

When they came out, Following the Wind asked her if she needed to return to her guest room to pack her things, but Yun Chi shook her head.

At this moment, not only Lin Xiao and his companions, but countless others were continually pouring into every corner of the ultimate battlefield.

Li Cangyue nodded in agreement, filled with anticipation as well, hoping that after taking the Concentration Pill this time, Wang Liuchuan's strength would advance in leaps and bounds.

Gripping the Ziyuan Sword, I charged forward in a straight line. At the same time, the blade in my hand was enveloped by the faint glow of the Rush skill, followed instantly by raging flames. A wave of intense heat could be felt even on the parts of my body close to the sword blade.

In the morning, Yuechu woke up naturally and summoned Cuiyu to fetch her finest garments.

The number of blacksmiths had now exceeded two hundred. These people revered Yun Chi like a divinity; they never questioned a single word she said, and they would do whatever she instructed.

You must know that Tang Qi was Tang Hao's uncle, so Nurda had always believed that Tang Qi should be a middle-aged man in his forties, but definitely not just a robust man in his thirties.

Mo Yixue brought the medicine over. Yan Sheng sat on the edge of the bed, and Mo Yixue sat down beside him, unwinding the bandages layer by layer. When she reached the innermost layer, she discovered that the cloth strips were soaked through with fresh blood.

Zi Mo's gaze grew complex. "The research I am in charge of has been going on for three thousand years, yet the progress is almost negligible."

Originally, after bringing back the human immortal from Simen Village, the next major tasks were to go to Longlin Town with Fei Ruyi to propose marriage, catch seven-segment shrimp, unearth Granny Ghost, and seek an elixir for old man Dong. He had not expected this unexpected twist.

"Ridiculous, how is this not certified by authoritative appraisal? Take another close look and tell me which word or sentence has a problem," Lin Hai said with an arrogant and haughty expression.

"Don't be afraid. If I wanted to do anything, I would have done it already. Look at you, always like this—like a cat with its fur on end. I have to tell you, I truly have no malicious intent," Gu Yan continued, lowering his voice with a sincere expression.

The three of us grown men exerted every ounce of our strength to push the coffin into the very center of the main hall.
