Volume 1, Chapter 29: The Grand Princess Arrives

These hardened criminals were well aware that even if they survived long enough to be imprisoned, seeing their families again would become an even more daunting prospect.

Under normal circumstances, being carried on Chu Nan's back would have been a source of great joy for Li Jingwen, but now, it only deepened her sorrow.

The Firebird spewed scorching white essence flames, while the strange python exhaled pitch-black, frigid mist, turning the grand hall into a battlefield between beast and serpent.

Kang Mang'ang pushed open the door and walked in, wearing a wide smile as if he had just encountered a long-lost friend.

That year, Bai Linluo’s second supernatural ability awakened. He seemed to have inherited the powers of a prophet, gradually mastering this mysterious and profound force.

However, the police officers now knew that the young man, Chu Nan, had been present that night, and it was he who had instructed the two officers to douse the monster in gasoline to finally destroy it.

Li Fan picked up the box and found a high-end tracksuit inside, which appeared to be a gift intended for him.

Afterward, Kalarov went to have breakfast, while the "Ghost King" arranged for his subordinates to transport all the supplies needed for the command post up the mountain.

"Since Father arranged it, haha, how could I refuse?" He stopped, walked over to Zihan, and gently flicked her nose, while his other hand held a pale yellow butterfly.

After climbing several hundred meters up the mountain, the special forces soldiers threw grenades to temporarily stall the terrorists charging up behind them.

Seeing him like this, Lian Fangzhou could not help but feel secretly saddened; for all her intelligence, she was helpless against such matters.

Ah Jian rarely spoke to anyone with such a mocking tone, but the aggrieved way Magpie had spoken had truly infuriated him.

The two had not been alone together for a long time, and filled with tender affection, they naturally spent a very delightful night together.

Although she could not be considered a major figure, she was still a legend in Mercenary City. Who would have thought she would end up in such a state, nearly doing herself in? If word of this got out, wouldn't she be the laughingstock of everyone?

That shrill, melodic chant echoed, piercing the eardrums. Zhou Yan’s hands clenched into fists, his palms tightening, and he subconsciously looked up.

"Old Third, what kind of fat sheep are these kids? Do you actually intend to tie them up and sell them?!" A man with a bright red face spat on the ground and spoke in a slovenly manner.

Zhao Rujun was very confident; she believed that in less than a month, she could make Ah Jian completely submissive to her.

"I understand what I must do." Lan You immediately left the presence of the Heavenly Derivation Mirror and moved away silently.

She dared not accept the red envelope from Mother Feng, but eventually, under Bu Fan’s persuasion, she accepted it for the sake of the festive spirit.

If not for Bu Fan’s extraordinary physique, that palm strike would have either killed her or left her permanently incapacitated.

"Want to try?" Liu Hao’s eyes flashed. In truth, he was eager to test the strength of his half-step Imperial-level Light of the Soul, and since Buma had volunteered, he decided to seize the opportunity.

The cheongsam fit Gu Xiaobei perfectly; it was formal yet understated, accentuating her slim, delicate waist and slender, graceful legs, imbuing her with just the right touch of gentleness and radiance.

For some time, Kruze’s fleet had been relentlessly pursuing the Archangel. Because Kira Yamato was still inexperienced in piloting the Gundam, he was forced to engage in high-intensity combat, often facing two or even three enemies at once, which caused his piloting skills to sharpen significantly.

Thus, in the Western regions, it was impossible for anyone to match the Empire’s warriors who could hold off hundreds or thousands alone—let alone tens of thousands, as Esdeath could.

Just then, having searched left and right to no avail, Noyara subconsciously lifted her head and gazed upward.

Only now did everyone realize the danger, and all the jet skis began to scramble back as fast as they could.

A surge of energy like a raging storm suddenly rushed toward Xu Zhe and his companions. Caught in this gale, they could not help but stumble back a few steps, staring in horror at the two figures in black robes who had appeared before them.

"What would Your Majesty have us do?" one of the Heavenly Kings asked. He had already made up his mind to remain a bystander at most. If Sophie wanted him to join in opposing the Heavenly Emperor, that was entirely out of the question.

Ayilu was indeed a five-star Origin Master, but he was merely one lacking any elemental affinity or spiritual insight. Xu Zhe did not consider such a five-star Origin Master a threat at all.

"Why move? I find this place quite good. First, no one comes to disturb us, and second, we can use our spare time to practice breathing exercises." Nanhuaizi finished speaking and sprinted forward.

She was not particularly striking, but she possessed a certain air of dignity that made her appear more mature and composed than the other concubines. It was only then that I remembered Concubine Ning was also of the Borjigit clan.

Li Si, as the Chancellor, held the highest rank among the Three Ducal Ministers, so he did not need to kneel before the Emperor, merely bowing slightly.

At that moment, a middle-aged man in Confucian robes, over forty years of age and of imposing appearance, emerged under the respectful and devout gaze of the many demon creatures.

Indeed, no one could match the elite Jiangdong cavalry under Xiang Yu’s command. After suffering two thousand casualties, the cavalry’s spears had already reached the crossbowmen who were unable to retreat in time.

Wuming was instantly terrified. Such an attack—let alone for someone like him who had only just reached the Divine Transformation Realm—would leave even an expert who had broken through to the Undying Realm maimed or dead if struck by the collective assault of these spirit beasts.
