Concubine's Rebellion

Han Lei looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman dressed in gaudy and flamboyant attire, with an alluring and seductive face, leaning against the doorframe while cracking melon seeds. She exuded a vulgar air of a courtesan, and her eyes were filled with utter contempt.

Hearing this, Han Lei's lovely face changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

"We are welcoming the future Princess of the Prince's Estate. What are you, a mere concubine, doing running out here? Hurry up and get back inside," the old matriarch's face darkened as she finally assumed the commanding presence and authority of the head of the household.

Zhao Linger also...

Ning Hongtai felt a wave of relief wash over him as he watched them drink, thinking the task was successfully completed. Pouring more wine, Ning Hongtai said, "These ancient characters are extraordinary. After studying ancient scripts for many years, this old man is seeing such characters for the very first time." He did not directly mention the ancient script, deliberately dragging out time.

Chen Qiao grew irritated and lost his patience. Sensing that it was probably impossible to reason with these commoners, he simply waved his hand dismissively, turned around, and walked away.

It had to be said that the Heavenly Corpse King was extremely cunning, and they had not kept too far apart from one another. Perhaps the pressure Kong Tianzhao exerted upon them was simply too great, for they now understood the necessity of cooperation. The moment Jiang Feng appeared above the Blood God's head, the Nine Li and Jiang Chen emerged simultaneously, and the three Heavenly Corpse Kings confronted Jiang Feng directly.

The night grew even darker, yet the Azure Dragon Academy remained a scene of bustling excitement. In contrast, the other academies and various factions had already finished their meals and prepared to rest; however, once that alluring aroma drifted over, none of them could manage to fall asleep again.

The open-air food stall had a few scattered customers, who appeared to be workers from nearby factories.

The reinforced Vulcan cannon looked no different from before, maintaining its previous exterior, but its internal structure had undergone a tremendous transformation. Layers of microscopic, invisible force now reinforced its interior, making the firepower of the bullets even more devastating.

The empire's citizens, whose families had been shattered and who had fled in exile to Xinling, vented the accumulated fury and terror of many days.

Jiang Feng nodded and exchanged a glance with Wang Feiyu. Wang Feiyu gave a faint smile and remained silent, while Jiang Feng chuckled, "Since you wish to join the Undying Army, according to our standards, passing the assessment is all it takes."

As for the cumbersome procedures such as the opening ceremony of the welcome assembly and the routine speeches by the leaders of the three major factions, Li Banxia skipped all of them under the pretext that "they're all useless nonsense anyway, just ignore them." While the opening ceremony was being held in the grand auditorium of Kyushu Academy, she took her team members outside to slack off wildly.

Moreover, the electrical arcs upon his horns grew increasingly intense. The lightning flashing across the two bovine horns intertwined, instantly condensing into a sharp blade as he charged directly toward Jiang Yi.

"What is going on?" Ma Long supported his mother as she slowly sat down. She was advanced in years and her physical strength was no longer what it used to be.

"Cousin-in-law, you all chat. I'll go keep an eye on the two children." Yun Xia smiled, nodded, and walked off to the side.

When Li Xiao emerged from the imperial palace, his expression was likewise grim, for the emperor had already formed the intention of sending him to Jiangnan to manage the plague.

Annie did not seem to have discovered anything unusual either. After draping the garment over my shoulders, she asked whether we should continue moving forward.

"Yang Jie, I beg you, give me one more chance. If you give me this chance, it will be like a fish finding water; I can survive the long, desolate nights simply by thinking of you," Lu Yan pleaded.

Zhou Yang could not actually see the green demonic energy; he only felt an oppressive gust of wind rushing toward him, and without a moment's hesitation, he threw himself in front of Nan Zhao to shield her.

One must bear in mind that this film had been released for less than a week and yet suffered from such abysmal attendance rates—one could easily imagine just how terrible it must be.

Wu Yifan slunk away in defeat, leaving the other two seated there like pins and needles. Leaving was not an option, nor was staying. Xiao Fan, however paid them no mind; Wu Yifan's previous actions had already laid bare many underlying issues, so he needed to wait and see just how formidable the Song family's influence truly was.

Had she known beforehand that the monsters here were tentacle-based creatures—and tentacle-based creatures completely dripping with mucus at that—she certainly would never have come.
