Volume 1, Chapter 42: Gu Slave

The Prince Consort did not sleep at all last night, so there is no need for you to go to the Hanlin Academy this afternoon. I will have someone send word there, Fan Xiangyi said, noticing the dark circles under Qing Chuan's eyes without leaving a trace.

She knew she was in the wrong, but how was the Eldest Princess's current behavior any different from the things she had done?

What comparison? What contention? What nonsense are you talking about? Fan Xiangyi could not bear to see that face wear such a wronged expression.

Hongchang, why did you come out? Don't worry, your father is not that easily brought down! Old Master Ren said, coughing between words.

Combat broke out once more inside the first factory battleship, and this time, the Sky Wing mercenaries had far fewer reservations.

The Pirate Gundam X2 wielded a beam saber in its left hand, slashing directly at the Sylvia MS. Although the Sylvia MS immediately raised its beam saber to parry, its output was simply no match for the beam saber; it was cleaved cleanly in two, sword and fuselage alike, by the devastating blow.

Generally speaking, to forge a Tier 2 item, one's smithing skill needed to reach at least Tier 1. Even so, the probability of such an item appearing was not 100 percent guaranteed. One could only imagine how astonished Linglong was.

Looking at the various battleship screens projected on her tablet, Long Fei picked out the vessel that had just caught his eye.

Entering the palace? Didn't His Majesty tell Her Highness to rest well and wait until the weather warms up before entering the palace? Hongjin asked with some confusion.

Do you know why, among so many children in the Luo family, only that young man was allowed to present himself before me? Fan Xiangyi let out a light laugh, then asked Yunping.

I never expected Senior Brother Zhou's interpersonal connections within the sect to be so strong. Lin Tianxuan sat down, his thoughts returning to Zhou Yin.

Their impression of Ye Bai was defined by that single sword strike, as well as the sight that greeted them upon arrival: bones littering the ground and sand beasts continuously gnawing upon them.

Aside from Senqi, several individuals who rarely appeared here had also arrived today. The Lone Wolf, Chi Jie, Red Army, and even Zhang He—who was here on a mission—along with Master Roger, who had carved time out of his extremely busy schedule, had all gathered here.

Ye Bai shook his head and said, This appears to be a formation set up by ancient deities. His gaze remained firmly fixed on the resplendent location ahead, where countless magical treasures and spiritual artifacts seemed within arm's reach.

An apology was spoken so lightly by Jue Gui, yet for Yu Xiaoyao and the others, it was by no means a simple matter.

The system immediately provided him with the prompt for the fourth ring of his quest: eliminate one hundred and fifty rare ancient Qin golden guards.

Da Niu began to feel a creeping unease under Zhou Yu's gaze. His expression turned sullen, but his eyes darted away, looking as though he feared some hidden secret of his might be exposed.

Gilded Bow? Li Yunchen roughly guessed the origin of the Golden Bow Mansion's name; it seemed this bow was indeed extraordinary.

Most of the time, he did so merely to survive, for even when he devoted himself single-mindedly to the Dao, troubles would relentlessly knock at his door one after another, forcing him to take action.

Yet our dear Jin's entire face had turned black, even the skin on his body darkening. Boss, you might as well just kill me! Why must every name you choose either be related to pigs or fat?

The primary reason he made a special trip here today was largely because of Bai Wei. After all, she was a prominent figure in their unit, and her success reflected well on them; there was simply no reason for him not to come.

Though bewildered by what had transpired, Fu Shaokun still did a commendable job playing the role of a loving husband, his eyes brimming with tenderness as he gently comforted her.

Aunt Xue was both startled and overjoyed; as long as the person was still safe, albeit a bit sudden, she immediately nodded, repeated words of agreement, and hurriedly turned to head outside.

Inside the car, Zhou Zuoheng found himself repeatedly glancing toward Selina. Though he had always known Selina was beautiful, he had never been willing to admit it out loud, always arguing with her whenever they met. Yet every time an argument ended, he would feel strangely happy.

Multiple marketing accounts and entertainment reporters released so-called definitive evidence almost simultaneously: photographs showing Zhang Yiche in bed with a man. Although the face of the individual suspected to be Zhang Yiche was somewhat blurred, striking similarities to Zhang Yiche remained unmistakable.

Su Yijin stroked a jade bracelet, recalling the one Su Longyu had snatched away from her previously. She truly adored that jade bracelet, and at the thought of it, resentment filled Su Yijin's face.

While He Chenxi stood there in a daze, Gu Shengze's lips had already covered hers.

Had Elder Zou not uncovered the truth, Zou Jiimian might well have been completely deceived by Lin Xianghui's honest and loyal facade.

On the other hand, Qin Qin was already fully equipped with two bracers and a pair of gauntlets—fully armed in every sense of the word. Furthermore, who knew what new trump cards this fellow might have scavenged behind the scenes during their days apart? Thus, after just a couple of casual moves by Qin Qin, A Lei's vitality was whittled down to a mere 1 point.

You surely don't mean to suggest that humans can be patched, too, He Kun retorted. Are you kidding me? The authority of He Kun, a great hacker and programmer, was not something to be challenged so easily.

Iwagakure in the Land of Earth and Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning were both harboring their own schemes. The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki of the Two Scales, and the Fourth Raikage, A, were both grinning from ear to ear.

Mizuki watched the aggressive Fu Yan with a cold flash in her eyes, while Wei Puxuan wore a contemplative look, plunging the private box into an unusual stillness.

Li Ergen could not help feeling a chill in his heart. After all, these elite fighters had been chosen out of thousands, yet they could not even withstand a single blow.

Starchen did not care in the least; his left hand was likewise enveloped in Haoshoku Haki, and unleashing a flurry of blows left and right, his fists rained down upon Ace like a tempest, leaving the latter no chance to react at all.

Shaking his head to dispel the distracting thoughts, he looked back up toward the fierce battle of extinction, a trace of chilling intent flashing within his deep pupils.

The music was neither loud enough to overly distract the guests nor faint enough to fade from the background, ensuring everyone present remained gently bathed in its melody.
