Luckily, I managed to suppress it in time; otherwise, “Serve the people” really would have slipped out. First published.

She firmly believed that the Emperor would certainly take a liking to her. The position of favored consort, second only to the Empress and above countless others, was destined to be hers.

The Castle of Aiying was thrown into immediate turmoil. In every commoners’ district, countless furious civilians poured out and rushed toward the castle gates.

Seeing that Lanxi was hopelessly stubborn, Huo Panpan shook her head helplessly and released her hand. Lanxi flashed her a mischievous smile and hurried away, but Huo Panpan still followed close behind, unable to put her mind at ease.

As she said this, Namanzi gave Kadanobe a slight wink with one eye. His heart instantly gave a heavy thump, and he nearly stumbled.

I had seen everything and said to Fan Cheng, “Cheng’er, he’s older than you! Call him Big Brother! From now on, you can play with him.” I set the child down and let him go make friends with Buyi.

The zombies inside were of a slightly higher level, each at Level 89, and their attacks were somewhat stronger as well, but it did not affect the outcome.

Sanbao had been prepared. He slid sideways, nearly throwing himself flat on the ground, and only just managed to evade the attack.

“Hmph!” He De raised his eyes. The cane he had thrust forward suddenly snapped back. His left hand seized the shaft while his right gripped the tip. With a violent pull, he drew it out, and a blinding streak of white light flashed across the air.

Lanxi found it an immense pity. Instead of becoming a foot model, she was merely offering her feet for Uncle Wangdi’s enjoyment. It was truly a waste, like a luminous pearl locked away in a box.

At that moment, everyone who could see where Liang Dong stood witnessed a strange spectacle: high in the sky, at an unknown distance, a circular halo of light had appeared. Around it, perhaps only an illusion, a vast area seemed unusually dark, as though the light were being sucked away by something.

“It’s only a very pure feeling. All right, let’s go!” Lin Xifan said, shaking the two bags of luggage in his hands as he led the way out of the dormitory.

Yet in that brief instant, Li Haonan’s heart, which had weathered the world’s unpredictability and the rise and fall of fortune, began pounding so wildly that even he felt flustered. Amid those emotional swings, he hoped that He Zijun could awaken Gu Xiaobei’s consciousness, yet he was also afraid that Gu Xiaobei would recognize him and that he would become her sole spiritual support.

The dispute among the principal gods of the Dark Divine Realm did not last long. After the Fallen Angels publicly expressed their support for the Despair God, Dispan, the principal gods of the Dark Divine Realm quickly reached a consensus: they would attack the City of Radiance first.

It truly was without equal in the world. Only, at that moment, she did not know that what made the Princess’s Residence unparalleled was not merely the treasures it contained, but something else as well.

After carefully examining the condition of each of them, Wei Yan suddenly sensed a slight disturbance in the forest not far away.

“Mr. Li, thank you for coming to see Qingbei.” He Zijun smiled at Li Haonan with genuine warmth. When he turned to look at Gu Qingbei, he found that her gaze at Li Haonan was trembling, and her hand had unconsciously clenched the bedsheet beside her.

Once everything had been arranged, Lin Feng and Li Ge headed straight for the airport. There was no need to buy tickets; they simply boarded the plane.

“X!” Lu Feiyang said casually. Or perhaps, by then, the concept of ability levels no longer meant anything to him. “What!” The moment those words left his mouth, at least half the people present cried out in shock.

“Father, Mother.” Du Nuanyan hurried in as well, then plunged into Madam Du’s arms and burst into tears.

Everyone turned their eyes toward Elder Xue, wanting to see whether he dared accept the challenge. Whether this contest could proceed depended entirely on him.

The sword energy shot fiercely toward Zhang Huan. His expression changed, and the long sword in his hand began to dance. With a clang, the blade rang out, and Zhang Huan retreated several more steps. His body trembled, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.

When the final word fell, it was as though something had shattered everything before them into pieces.

“Have you looked long enough? From the moment you came in, you haven’t even blinked once!” A teasing voice pulled me back to my senses.

He casually opened a menu as well and said with a smile, “It won’t take too long. Once we’ve ordered, we can simply ask them to serve the dishes a little later.” He knew this area extremely well and had a clear idea of what was available.

“I should go back for dinner.” As Li Yinian spoke, she shifted her gaze away, walked straight around him, and headed toward the door.

“Madam, anyone can tell at a glance that you’re from out of town. Is there anyone around here who doesn’t know Young Master Pang?” The old man lowered his voice. “He’s the county magistrate’s son. Even the constables obey him. If they take that girl to the yamen, she’ll be ruined.” With a sigh, he shook his head and walked away.

“Big Brother Xu, I’m sorry. I will never forget the tremendous kindness you and your parents have shown me. If it weren’t for you, I truly wouldn’t know what to do.” Chen Qingyu spoke with tears in her eyes.

The place above had been turned upside down. Judging by the looks of it, those people had only been after money, not the car.

It suddenly occurred to me that Qin Jianghao seemed to know my boss. I was so angry my teeth itched. Did this man really have to go that far? He had become so shameless that he had left me with nowhere to go.

“This is bad,” Du Gu Wentian muttered. He leaped into the air and, getting ahead of the Ice Plains Elephant, unleashed the exquisite lightness skill known as Ripple-Shadow Steps. He had to break into the Frost Palace before the hidden sentries activated the mechanism. The mechanism beside the main hall required manpower to operate; it was their only chance.

I couldn’t think about it now. Wait until tonight… until tonight… He rose briskly, returned to the desk in his office, picked up the glass of water, and gulped down several mouthfuls, forcing himself to calm down from the sudden desire that had arisen within him.

The vast world and tranquil mountain forests had become noisy and chaotic solely because of humanity, disturbing the beautiful dreams of who knew how many wild beasts.

Although Lu Kang treated people kindly and was good even to his servants, what mattered most in his heart was still the Lu family. Lu Kang stubbornly believed that he absolutely could not allow the Lu family to decline in his hands, and so he made his choice.

On the city wall standing at the heart of the river, charred marks were scattered here and there. The wall was pitted and scarred, with numerous breaches. Faintly, one could see soldiers ducking their heads as they carried bricks and stones, repairing the ramparts.
