Volume 1, Chapter 64: Li Zhi'an's Tall Tales

Prince Jing looked at the Empress Dowager with a tightened expression and asked rather uneasily, "Mother, is it not possible?"

The Empress Dowager frowned, "When did you take a liking to Cheng Xi?"

Cheng Xi was older than Prince Jing.

Chestnut cakes were Li Qingyao's absolute favorite, and having a piece of chilled watermelon on a scorching summer day sounded wonderful. Dreaming of such delicious food, Li Qingyao, a veteran foodie, found herself completely unable to sleep.

This was because Liverpool's coaching staff included a dedicated set-piece coach named Giovanni Mantovani, a specialist who had been studying set-piece attacking and defending for over fifteen years.

Prompted by the Second Madam, Lin Qian had soon integrated herself smoothly into the circle of young ladies, mingling like a fish in water. The First Madam had indeed wanted Lin Hui to socialize more with those girls, but Lin Hui had a stubborn and overbearing temperament at home; she would talk endlessly around familiar people, yet before strangers, she was unwilling to spare even a few extra words.

When a fragrant bowl of noodles was placed before Li Qingyao, she felt as though she had been transported back to her past life in the laboratory, where whenever hunger struck, she would simply have someone prepare a bowl of noodles for her.

Given that the first-half offense had yielded little result, Wenger intended to focus on the flanks. On one hand, flank attacks encountered fewer interceptions; on the other hand, it was a strategy of fighting fire with fire, aimed at suppressing Manchester City's two wings.

An iron cage awaited them at the prison gates. As soon as Chu Yunfeng and the Loulan protectors were led out, they were locked inside. The carriage pulling the cage slowly began to move.

Regardless of where she had learned it all, at this moment, Li Qingyao possessed an aura akin to a divinity in the eyes of everyone present.

Liu Wei's heart sank. Although Feiye had always disliked him, as a colleague, Liu Wei still did not want anything to happen to Feiye.

"I don't know either. I just have a vague sense of familiarity about this saber-wielding wanderer," Deng Bohan said with a slight frown.

Cheng Liping responded with a blank expression, having anticipated all of this back when he was at Big Gold Five's place.

However, human desires could never be so easily contained. When apart, one would tell oneself that just a single meeting would be enough; yet once that primary condition was met, human hearts invariably craved more. It was as if Nuanyi was desperately trying to suppress the surging jealousy rising within her chest at that very moment.

The four of them also unleashed their spiritual power, knowing this was no time for hiding their strength. A single misstep could prove fatal here. They momentarily repelled the enemy's assault and immediately leaped toward the distant island.

"Mr. Lu holds the highest card face, Mr. Lu please make your bet." Lu Chenghao raised his gaze slightly to glance at Moyang. Moyang stepped forward and pushed all the chips straight to the front in one go.

However, in order to allow Su Yujing to rest properly, Huo Qishao had decided to stay a few more days at Jiangnan Garden.

Throughout the entire process, Zhuang Bingyue never made a move; all those insect monsters were slain by Huang Junjie and the others. Although the pace was slightly slower, the difficulty remained manageable.

Chuan Ying stared in a daze, his gaze shifting back and forth between Feng Qi and Linyue, utterly at a loss for how to react for a moment.

Madam An entered the room, turned to shut the door behind her, and then immediately dropped to her knees. Clutching her embroidered handkerchief against the floor, she kowtowed three times to Hua Qi.

If an ordinary person could navigate and fight their way step-by-step through an environment teeming with formidable masters, and even rise to become a national representative entrusted with this mission, then they undoubtedly possessed an intelligence far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Xu Churen naturally claimed the seat of honor as a distinguished guest. Wu熙 sat in the lower seat, raised the cup of wine in his hand for a brief toast in the air, and then tilted his head back and drained it in a single gulp.

In late March of the Cosmic Calendar 3502, the warship escorting Lilia slowly sailed into the Black Star Spaceport on Ceres. Once the handover was complete, the Jupiter military would return to Jupiter, and the subsequent mission of escorting the Grand Princess back to Earth would be handed over to humanity.
