The fathers of these few dissolute young men mentioned by Gu Yuanhuai all held high ranks and wielded real power; each of their families was immensely wealthy. The flower appreciation banquet hosted by Lady Gu Zhou for the Princess of Huaian was intended to solidify the marriage between Gu Yuanzhou and the princess, while also giving the noble gentlemen a chance to meet the young ladies of the Gu family. The activities arranged were all refined amusements; cockfighting, as a form of gambling, was naturally not included.

Nevertheless, in the Tian Sheng dynasty, even the princes…

Although the celestial bureaucracy was still understaffed, things had improved greatly compared to the previous chaos and frenzy. Zhang Xianli’s gaze shifted over again, making Xu Shixi’s heart jolt. She pressed her lips together, forcing herself to appear calm as she turned to look out the carriage window, pretending to admire the scenery.

Cheng Ziyi followed along, and after they finished everything, the two of them quietly stepped aside. She bit her lip, tears brimming in her eyes.

He kept his eyes open, seemingly taking a long time to adjust. He moved his gaze to Jiang Buwan, spending a good while recalling what had happened before he fell into a coma.

Their bodies were pressed closely together; all she could smell was the cool scent of mint on the man. Even through their clothes, she could sense the strength of his build.

As for cotton cloth—because it was scarce, nearly everyone’s clothes bore patches. People would joke, “Three years in new, three years in old, patched and mended for three more years.”

She was seething with jealousy inside. She had to make sure they divorced as soon as possible—only then would she have a place for herself.

“I believe you!” Su Yao nodded vigorously, her eyes slightly red as she looked at Lin Yang, her heart brimming with happiness and hope.

Watching the explosion’s fiery glow flicker in the distance, the Chancellor injected the Type 10 Divine Evolution Serum into his body without hesitation.

But bringing their own rations served a purpose as well: Moss’s requirement was simple—all of Tony’s experimental procedures and techniques had to be made fully transparent and accessible to Moss.

Yet there was no one else around—besides me, only Second Sister. What could she do even if she saw? An ordinary person couldn’t possibly stand against so many burning ghosts; she might just end up as another casualty.

Li Ying clung tightly to me, too afraid to look, while I still had to converse with this bald man. Damn, was there anyone normal in this temple? On the way in, there were skulls everywhere; now, taking another path, the skulls were gone but there were only coffins, clearly with rotting corpses inside.

Dragon roars and wolf howls echoed through the sea of clouds, which Yang Tian could not see through. The clouds surged and billowed like waves, layer upon layer, reverberating through the heavens and earth with tremendous force.

Wu Lei was startled. He hadn’t expected that when his King’s Finger technique reached the opponent’s body, it wouldn’t penetrate but would instantly transform into a mandrake blossom.

“I just wanted to tell you that in a few days, your father and I, along with Beirui Kaixuan’s parents, will be coming back together,” said Mom.

When Chief He spoke, he rarely left room for refusal. But this time, Ke Xiangbao was truly stunned by the news.

He offered no resistance at all, letting the constable take him to the prison. He simply thought he’d escape by night—just his unlucky fate this time.

Only now did Momo realize that the Ruyi Vajra Ring had a set boundary. Once she jumped down, she couldn’t get outside the ring no matter how she tried.

I immediately took Li Ying away. I thought she shouldn’t witness such things—otherwise she’d be frightened again, unable to sleep at night, plagued by nightmares.

Dean Julio still hoped to find either Senator Melodi or Santos to directly confirm whether there was a problem within the parliament. The exposé video claimed that nearly all the parliament members were clones with only their brains retained from the original hosts. The news was so shocking that Julio instinctively wanted to avoid it.

“If Teacher Zhao doesn’t believe me, she can call Chu Tingya’s sister; she’s the one who asked me to hold this meeting,” Wen Xu replied to Zhao Qingyan with little patience. Without consulting Zhao, he sat down in the chair beside her on his own.
