The security at the Prince of Yu’s manor was nearly impenetrable. When A-Cheng brought the captive in last night, he had taken special care to avoid all prying eyes.

Where they stood, the cliff had collapsed by half due to the battle with the demonic evil, and a vast expanse of trees nearby had been toppled. Looking up, the sky was clear and vast, and the malevolent aura that had permeated the Hundred-Mile Forest dissipated along with the death of the demonic entity.

During this period, she had tried her best to appear optimistic, and she felt she had been doing quite well.

After the military council concluded, Zhao Junsheng beckoned to Shen Hui. The two walked one after the other toward the riverbank, followed by a handful of Dragon Guard soldiers.

"Then, thank you, Teacher’s wife." The young man smiled with a touch of embarrassment as he took the item, but once he turned away, his brow furrowed.

Hearing that Zhao Junsheng was leaving that afternoon, Madame Hua Yuan immediately set about preparing food and wine, insisting that he stay for a meal.

Inside the inn, Zhan Yunge freshened up and checked out, heading out to find a place for breakfast. With Brother Xuan not by her side, eating had become a significant endeavor.

"Lingnian, what is your take on this?" Old Madame Su hurried over and asked steadily, looking at Su Yanru who was kneeling on the ground.

"Thank you for your concern, Madam, all is well," Concubine Xu said, clutching her stomach, a flicker of subtle wariness crossing her eyes.

A dreamscape formed by the power of the True Spirit possesses the quality of "reality"; in a sense, it is like another layer of existence. For an outsider to interfere with such a dream, they themselves must possess True Spirit power of a certain intensity.

She had once encountered a flower farmer. To find common ground and reach a cooperative agreement, she had specifically signed up for a course to learn the techniques of flower arranging.

Hua’er had previously told her exactly where to bury the porcelain shards, so she had intentionally fallen toward that very spot today.

Watching Ye Sibai’s playful wink, Li Fangzhou suddenly found that he could no longer muster any anger.

"Drink this 'spiked' wine, then kowtow ninety-nine times to me and Yuanyuan, and I might spare your life! Otherwise, I’ll have someone throw you off this cruise ship right now!" Zhao Kai threatened viciously.

It wasn’t as if the grain was intentionally scattered to feed the birds; it was simply that no matter how carefully one packed the carts during transport, some leakage was inevitable. Consequently, the birds living in the trees near large granaries and supply routes were always plumper than those elsewhere.

With twenty minutes left, Bai Luoluo began acting cute in every way, successfully coaxing the netizens into a daze.

Moreover, if one followed the rogue tactics suggested by Wu Yuan—bombing for thirty-seven or thirty-eight days before sending in ground troops—the old dictator would truly have no standing to fight back.

Immediately, Feng Zixu flicked his finger, and a faint spark flew from that wisp of flame, sinking directly into the center of Qi Jingzhi’s brow.

In truth, Xu Changsheng had secretly imagined what it would be like if he were to wear white robes and let his hair grow long and tied up.

The Sorting Hat’s eye-folds rounded instantly, staring at the golden crown in Tang Yan’s hand as if it wanted to eat the hat itself.

However, this was a matter of cause and effect, as well as the will of heaven; now was the time for it to conclude, and he naturally would not interfere arbitrarily.

Yu Sheng waved his hand and stepped into the spatial passage first. With a flicker of faint spatial energy, he vanished.

Subsequently, several turtle shells flew from behind Gu Hulie, converging before him to form a complete ancient shield that stood like a giant barrier between the two.

Director Liu paused, carefully reading the City Lord's expression. Seeming to understand something, he simply patted the person in charge on the shoulder.

With the task now potentially achievable, Harry felt a surge of joy. Yet, knowing she would soon have to see the Headmaster, she felt a deep reluctance, her emotions complex.

One could see traces of Lin Maiyi in him, but Lin Maiyi had changed; he gave his gentleness to others. I am not planning to go back, and this time, I truly wish for you to awaken. I was inside that place for so long, and he never once came to see me.

As for why he only revealed the cultivation level of the first stage of Body Refining, there was a story behind that. He had planned it before leaving home—to drop one stage upon setting out. Had his cultivation been higher, he would have even considered dropping two.

Professor McGonagall went straight back to the school, found Dumbledore, who was still in the Headmaster’s office, and urged him to watch the live stream immediately.

Although the slick and wily Red Fox had evaded the Demon Hunter’s "Heavenly Eye," it had not escaped the hunter’s bullet.

He was a typical intellectual; whenever he encountered a problem he didn’t understand, he had the habit of getting to the bottom of it.

For some time now, Li Wei had been making a fuss about resigning to join Chef Wu. However, Li Xinguo lacked confidence in the prospects of private enterprises and did not believe that the glass factory, which had always been developing well, would go bankrupt, so he had never relented.

As for the subsequent content, even without reading it carefully, Wang Hong could guess a thing or two. It was nothing more than how precious this tea was, how exorbitant its value was, and so on. Anyway, this type of news followed that same routine and was entirely devoid of value.

Seeing Gu Xingchen leading Gu Xingyue toward the door, he crawled up stealthily, wanting to hear what they were saying.

Upon hearing this, a trace of fury appeared on the faces of the wounded Jianlu soldiers. If they were truly afraid of death, how did these wounds of theirs come to be?

At this, Her Majesty the Heavenly Empress was incensed. She turned abruptly and slapped him across the face. Due to the excessive force, five red handprints were branded like her personal seal.
