They say one should strike without hitting the face and expose faults without revealing shame, yet Consort Xi remained as sharp-tongued as ever, disregarding all caution, and struck right across the face.

Turning back to the display stand, as the rare antiques were successively unveiled, the auction grew increasingly intense. Among them was a Kangxi-era imitation Chicken Cup from the Qing dynasty, which astonishingly fetched a high price of seventy-six million.

Closing the webpage and clearing all traces of use, the surprise brought by the campus beauty moments ago had vanished without a trace.

“Do you know the terrain where the East Sea Dragon Palace is located? How has the enemy arranged their troops?” Mo Wen asked.

How could this guy ask such an embarrassing question? Zhen Yue raised her hand to shield her eyes, suffused with desire, but he pulled it away and pressed her fingers to his lips in a kiss.

The apartment’s style remained as minimalist and elegant as ever. The designer had masterfully employed black, white, and gray, yet Su Qian found the atmosphere somewhat oppressive.

“The plane was delayed. Sorry I’m late.” Ignoring the media reporters present, Gu Jinghuan strode up the steps and pulled Su Qian into his embrace.

The main peak immediately trembled as multicolored lights shimmered across its surface. A flowing curtain of Dao traces appeared, enveloping the entire mountain, continuously emanating the power of Heaven’s Way in a rolling surge.

“Uh...” Jiang Hai was stunned. Although he had recognized Jiang Yue from behind, he hadn’t expected that she would identify him after hearing only two words. He realized he would need to alter his voice in the future; otherwise, his disguise would be useless.
