Volume One, Chapter 51: Setting Fire to the Regent Prince’s Mansion

Zhen Long glanced at Zhou Meng, feeling quite reassured deep down. Zhou Meng’s demeanor was completely different from before. Prior to Zhen Long’s departure overseas, Zhou Meng’s aura was somewhere between a nouveau riche and a streetwise ruffian, but in less than a year, he had already grown significantly more composed.

But the weather—clearly it had improved. Could it be that the mythical beast causing trouble behind the scenes had left?

Lurikov even harbored a fleeting doubt: Was it a mistake to seek out this young man in Huaxia this time?

He had even willingly handed over his great power early on, remaining behind the scenes, allowing him to become the de facto ruler of Nanjiang. If not out of genuine care, how could one explain such actions? Which man does not harbor ambitions of supremacy?

“I haven’t told him about the return yet; I want to surprise him later!” Zhen Long said with a cheerful smile.

Now, the best way to take over Sars Village was to use the “Demon King’s Temptation” to bewitch the two golden-level guild leaders and the captain of the guard, saving time and effort.

Li Lan thought that acquiring such a masterful skill would surely come at the cost of much hardship.

As for the Nine Great Trials, nothing had been disclosed, and everyone was guessing. The unknown was the most terrifying. The Underworld Emperor’s psychological challenge was also a test for the Corpse King. Those who remained calm, those who became agitated, those who found solace in self-deception, and those who were indifferent—one glance could reveal their true nature.

Wu Ying was in a dilemma. Under Xing Shijie’s orders, he was to protect the townsfolk, which in reality meant protecting her family. What if something happened when he took people to find the foolish disciple?

“In the afternoon, then. We won’t go to the mountain today; I’ll take you out for a walk in the afternoon. Tomorrow morning, after breakfast, we’ll go to the mountains, and return in the afternoon. Then you can decide whether to stay another day or go home,” Chu Molin said, not wanting Qin Xue to be too tired.

Only someone as straightforward as Ye Xiao could overlook such obvious signs and assume Yue Linghan was simply moving slowly.

Then, suddenly, Su Xingxiu closed his eyes, and his voice echoed slowly in the minds of everyone present.

As his words ended, the black-clad man’s katana vanished, and his gaze turned to behind Ding Qing. As he withdrew his presence, Ding Qing’s delicate body almost collapsed, but at that moment, a figure appeared suddenly, embracing her shoulder and wiping the sweat from her brow.

It was precisely when the melee players had run halfway that streams of azure magma, like pillars of fire, erupted from below, tearing the flat ground into large, continuously spurting holes.

Liu Bo’s lips moved slightly; he only saw that the computer screen and camera directly in front of his eyes were also soiled.

A cold, merciless voice like that of a demon carried over the drizzling rain, spreading throughout the Goblin Village and piercing every goblin’s ears. Whether aware or not, all goblins were gripped by terror.

Seeing the growing number of reinforcements, the group’s tone grew firmer, and their words increasingly harsh. Zheng Ming, having steeled his emotions, stomped the ground forcefully.

The first of these two messages was sent to An Ran, meant to reassure her and let her know that I would take action.

Pei Xin’er felt slightly relieved upon hearing this, but still suspected the Empress Dowager’s grand gesture this time was ill-intentioned, surely with some trap awaiting her. The feeling of being a pawn in someone else’s game was deeply unsettling.

Fear was like a massive black hole, expanding endlessly into a bottomless abyss.

Originally just a destitute girl bought for a few taels of silver, she had now become half the legitimate head of the Zhu family—a truly remarkable transformation.

Zhu Jintang could no longer recall when he began to harbor affection for her, but he knew he liked seeing her, paid close attention to her every word and deed, and greatly admired her gentle yet resolute character.

Upon hearing Wu Ling’er’s words, Liu Zaiyi shrank back nervously, promptly ceasing to speak further and obediently followed Fan Zhixiang back to his room to rest.

Zhu Ying arrived slightly late. Seeing the bustling activity in the courtyard, she felt puzzled but vaguely guessed what was going on.

Everyone in the room’s gaze turned toward Shangguan Ruoxi, but only Dong Qingcang, after finishing the prescription, kept his head down, tidying the medicine box without once looking at Shangguan Ruoxi.

Some readers have asked when the torment will end. Actually, after this episode, it will largely conclude, with all matters clarified. There won’t be much left to write, but with Sui Xin’s turtle pace, it may still take several days. Dear friends, Sui Xin is reluctant to say goodbye to you...

Coincidentally, the Moon King was at the mansion then. The Crown Prince originally planned to accuse the Moon King of debauchery after obtaining the princess, but perhaps due to exhaustion from the previous night, he remained unconscious. As for why the bed appeared before the mansion gates—that was the Crown Prince’s doing.

Jiang Zhiqing was unwilling to deal with the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ people, and promotions there were too slow, unlike in the Army Department.

Listening to his seemingly proud words, Wang Kun was speechless. Class distinctions exist everywhere, no matter the place.

A military doctor rushed over, pushed the crowd aside, glanced at Sun Chuanfang, and said, “Dead but not quite dead. Your commander can’t die?” After some minimal treatment, he turned and left.

The Beiyang Army’s military operations around Shence Gate, Taiping Gate, and Zhongfu Gate were unsuccessful, managing only to occupy Tiger Hill.

A beauty like jade also requires substance—a natural aura. Whether alluring or delicate, each is like a delicious dish, unique and appealing in its own way.

Initially, the Tibetan aristocracy resisted the central government’s personnel stationed in Lhasa, but after Sichuan’s Xiong Kewu gave them a harsh kick, their compliance improved noticeably.

She thought carefully; with the Fuxi clan being so wicked, Sister Ghost would surely be overwhelmed now, so she had to rely on herself.

Since Yue Ying had decided to teach these presumptuous fellows a lesson, she naturally would not allow them to leave.

Originally, the two had fought for a long time and were already at a disadvantage. Moreover, Zhang Fei’s fierce shout was truly terrifying, causing their morale to wane further.

“One bullet through the heart—no chance of survival...” Wang Xuanlong stood up, shook his head, and sighed slightly.

Lu Tong looked up and inadvertently saw Fei Liangyan’s phone, which displayed a photo of Peter kissing Shi Yi. Lu Tong walked over, took Fei Liangyan’s phone, and was about to look.
