Episode 8 Post-Broadcast Forum Thread (Part Two)

According to her vision, she might choose to abdicate at the age of seventy-five or eighty. Whether the monarch at that time could win the hearts of the people would be crucial. Although abolishing the royal family was out of the question, without popular support, the monarch would be reduced to a purely symbolic figure rather than holding the ubiquitous influence they possessed today.

Having thus captured Shiamoto Castle, Katayama Nobuyasu did not linger and soon led the foot soldiers to advance further toward Niitsukan.

She watched as the steps ahead blurred before her eyes. She took a step down, but her foot met empty air. Her body tumbled down the staircase in a series of rolls, her eyes wide with terror, both hands tightly clutching her abdomen. Not until she crashed onto the ground did she feel something slowly warm trickling out from between her legs.

This time, officials and corporate representatives were also included in the entourage. Discussing politics and conducting business did not conflict with one another; when the time came, they would once again have to put on a show of being bosom buddies and sharing an iron-clad bond—such was the nature of politics. Fortunately, Joanna did not need to fret over these matters; she only needed to understand the government's stance toward a certain country and how she ought to conduct herself.

Many underground fighters who had been secretly observing the battle promptly extinguished any thoughts they might have harbored of challenging Chen Hu. After all, that final bear-crushing strike was simply too ferocious, and none of them dared to be certain they could withstand it.

When that simple-minded fellow finally learned that his wife currently carried a little one in her belly, and that upon birth it would call him "Daddy," he remained stunned for a long time, staring fixedly at his bride without a word.

At this moment, the child reined in his fists and feet, dashing at full speed toward the direction of the beast arena. Amidst his shifting and leaping, without any visible exertion of force on his part, the scenery on both sides raced backward in a blur. Anyone who happened to catch a glimpse of him would merely feel a sudden, chilly gust of wind sweeping past.

The spacecraft sent to deliver him was already waiting at the entrance. Upon boarding, he departed immediately. Along the way, however, the personnel assigned to receive him looked upon Tang Chong with deep envy, marveling that he had managed to speak so many words with Lord Situ.

Seeing that the boy had pushed his cart aside, Yan Mumu walked over.

"Is there?" An Feng took a sip and tested it; indeed, there was a hint of it, especially since the ice numbed the palate. Anyone with a low tolerance for alcohol would surely feel dizzy after just one glass.

To its utter astonishment, however, no matter how it tried to absorb the bead radiating the power of fire spirits, it could not draw the object into its possession whatsoever.

Chen Wan scrambled up in a fury, her hands planted firmly on her hips. "You dare push me?" she shrieked, lunging directly toward Taoyao, while Yuzan hurriedly rushed forward to hold Taoyao back.

Cai Ji cast his gaze upon her, his look as tender as water, seemingly capable of melting away the surrounding ice and snow. He had once promised to bring her here to Shangcai to behold the peach blossoms; he had once promised to build a dwelling in this very place, constructed solely for her.

This year's MSI was destined to be extraordinary, and in the imaginations of many, the competition would undoubtedly prove far more brutal.

Bai Xiao nodded. Although he was many years older than her, who could argue with the fact that she was the big boss?

With the personal disciples of the sect master now decided, those disciples who had failed to participate in this trial would be randomly appointed by the six sect masters.

Of course, the two of them had swapped out the oil, fearful lest someone detect the seafood aroma or inadvertently trigger some sort of allergic reaction.

As the motorcade advanced, He Gang frowned. The streetscape around them had indeed changed somewhat from a moment ago, yet it remained utterly devoid of life.

The Sea Wolf team member was kicked down by Balang, and before he even had time to scramble back to his feet, he was swiftly pinned and thrown by another body slam from Balang.

"Is my strength still not enough?" Keqing was once again taken aback. Had she encountered a formidable enemy? Or had she provoked someone she shouldn't have? With her current double-tier-three strength, her capabilities should by no means be considered subpar. As for anyone stronger, Keqing refused to believe that Zheng Yue could have provoked them and still returned alive.

Entering the bedroom, Hua Yun pressed Ye Chen down to a seat beside the table, then hurried over to the refrigerator to retrieve a bottle of red wine. As the saying goes, red wine pairs with a beauty, setting just the right mood.

Dream Tianer had just awakened that morning, her languid posture tinged with a hint of melancholy. Her hair was slightly disheveled, and the somewhat loose, pure white robe draped over her figure endowed her with a unique temperament that instantly stirred one's protective instincts.

Yet now, everything was over. Having already suppressed the Tower of Dusk and discovered their whereabouts, these military forces would either be completely annihilated together or picked off and broken one by one. Sooner or later, they would be driven back to the Empire, and then they would see how the Tower of Dusk intended to explain the grand boasts they had once made.

Shi Qin was terrified that he would lack an excuse to keep Uncle Yin by Song Xing's side. Though he eagerly wished to bring it up outright, he felt too embarrassed to do so. On one hand, he was accustomed to teasing Chen Yushi for being utterly henpecked; if he himself showed excessive concern now, he feared giving Chen Yushi ammunition to mock him for loving a beauty even more than his own ambitions.

Ye Chen drew in a sharp breath of cold air, because Zhong Ling had reached out directly to pinch the flesh at his waist, and the force behind the pinch clearly indicated she was somewhat angered.

"Of course you aren't dreaming. Just the fact that you possess a mythical item is enough reason for me to invite you," Mishus said with a cheerful chuckle.

After Zhang Li departed, Wang Hao trembled all over as he felt countless gazes converging upon him, knowing full well that at this moment, no amount of explanation could clear his name.

Song Xing put away her bead bracelet, failing to notice Ji Ning standing behind her as her gaze remained fixed intently on the safe.

Back then, Jia Zhen had married down into the family, yet he never could have anticipated that human malice could stoop to such completely unreasoning depths.

She was truly a fool; otherwise, she would never have been deceived, utilized, and injured by Zhao Da and the Zhao family from beginning to end to such a degree.

However, this conclusion was merely based on current data, as one still had to factor in future growth potential.

When departing from Europe, the entire sky was shrouded in a blanket of dreary, heavy gray clouds. Elena wore a long white dress paired with an exquisite cashmere overcoat, resembling a fairy who still carried a lingering trace of mortal warmth.
