Volume 1, Chapter 21: I am willing to wait, my husband; there is no need to blame yourself.

The clamor outside gradually faded, eventually falling into complete silence.

The red candle flickered, its final flame dancing stubbornly before dying out.

Xiao Qingyu held a fan in both hands, her fingers gripping the handle tightly.

After hearing the account, Zhao Gou also found Zhu Minzhong's death suspicious; it seemed likely that he had been murdered, leading to his untimely demise. Following Zhu Minzhong's death, the servants and staff were strictly ordered to remain silent, forbidden from revealing any information about their master, leaving outsiders in the dark—only Zhu Tingzuo knew the truth.

Liu Huayang's words shocked everyone present. Before his explanation, no one could have imagined that Qingbai had done so much, or that the products he created had become so deeply integrated into their daily lives.

Tian Zong Tanghua was able to accurately deduce the nature of the mission from mere fragments of information; beyond vast gaming experience, this required a nimble mind capable of connecting the dots with the game's official lore.

Wang Chengji’s words were disjointed, yet they pointed to many things. For instance, the issue of tampered historical figures needed to be addressed immediately. In a recent search, it was discovered by chance that descendants of King Arthur still existed in this world. If they felt their ancestor was being insulted, would the Dragon Kingdom protect its own for the sake of national pride?

Seeing that both of her forbidden spells had been intercepted, Nivea’s willow-leaf brows arched in anger, and another magic scroll appeared in her hand.

Looking at the manuscript in her hand, she realized it was the original draft. All she had to do was trace it; the most tedious work involved merely removing a few stray lines from the storyboard and refining the characters and background. After that, it would be ready for submission, wouldn't it? How was this any different from being handed money for free?

Upon receiving Dwalin's command, the dwarven heavy infantry sprang into action. They formed a line, their heavy weapons gleaming with a cold light as they charged toward the rock giants pouring through the main gate.

As it turned out, the card Julian had given Sakura was merely a blank one that had already been used to summon Gilgamesh. The true Gilgamesh was currently guarding Julian's side—she was Angelica.

This time, Tang Chen listened even more attentively, his palm clearly sensing a transparent film covering the Moonlight Scroll.

The entity responsible for this situation was Kyubey; it was the result of the creature forcibly intervening in the world to ensure a more efficient harvest of emotional energy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Yu did not raise any requests regarding pensions for the families of fallen soldiers; that was the prerogative of King Dan of Zhao. It was better for him to avoid such maneuvers intended to win hearts and minds.

Amidst the impassioned speech, the army listened in silence, not a single soul daring to move or speak, a testament to the strictness of military discipline. Jiang Yi nodded slightly, his mind finally at ease. He summoned his trusted generals and immediately decided upon a battle strategy, ordering his troops to advance in three columns from the east, west, and south to fully envelop Nucang.

Conversely, whether it be jadeite, jade, or diamonds, all required mining. China produced a significant amount of jade, but jadeite and diamonds were quite rare.

Suddenly catching sight of their husband, gazing at his heroic face and powerful frame clad in armor, Zhao Yue and Han Ying were at a loss for how to speak. Hearing Li Yu express his concern for them immediately, they could not help but feel a surge of tenderness in their hearts.

Lin Bixiao did not seem to realize she had been kidnapped at all; instead, she remained as calm as if she were in an office, discussing a partnership with a business associate.

At midnight, Lin Tiansheng helped a thoroughly intoxicated Zhuo Yiting to her car in front of the bar. He opened the door and was just about to seat her in the passenger side.

Yet, what pleased him most at this moment was that the boss had not agreed to the other party's terms simply because of their connection to Young Master Zuo.
