121. Extra Chapter: The Emperor and the Empress I

"No!" Chu Yunlian cried out in horror, but she was powerless to stop it. As Jin Feng applied force, her hand moved forward with the momentum, burying the entire dagger into his chest. Warm, bright red blood gushed out instantly, trickling down her hand.

Zhu Snake Fruit. Xia Xuan recalled the formula for the elixir required to ascend from the Yuan Gathering Realm to the Golden Core Realm; the primary ingredients for the Vermillion Snow Pill were millennium snow lotuses, Zhu Snake Fruit, and several other rare medicinal herbs.

Alright, the hurdle with Big Sister Rodney had been managed, albeit barely. However, what gave Chi You an even greater headache was the hurdle with Big Sister Qi. This quintessential mature woman, whose obsession with "corrupt" romantic tropes had seeped into her very bones, had set her sights on him more than once. It had taken every ounce of effort to reach the current state, at least on the surface, where she no longer forced her will upon him.

At this moment, the large tent stood empty. At some unknown point, the black feather note that Ye Yulong had stuck into the bed had also vanished.

Elder Gui Xiuluo naturally could not have known this; otherwise, he would have spared no cost to seize the Frozen Crystal.

"What do you think is the purpose of Mo Yu Jingchen's arrival in the Lingfeng Kingdom, Your Highness?" a forty-year-old bearded man asked the man beside him.

However, the reaction she had seen from Ran Yi earlier left her quite satisfied. Now that she had not only changed her appearance but also her gender, surely Jingbei and Qixin would not be able to recognize her, right?

"No, she shifted the space and brought us here." Hoshino Ice hung in the air, holding Hinata.

The snowstorm before the New Year had been caused by the cold energy emanating from Xumi Heaven, which had disrupted the climate of the Chi Abyss Oasis.

"When did this happen?" Shentu Haolong’s heart trembled. To abduct someone from the hands of the Dark Fox without ample preparation would be impossible.

The remaining two burst into boisterous laughter. They knew there was no such thing as a "Horse-Face"—it was merely a way to tease their "Ox-Head" captain. The captain, for his part, remained silent, saying nothing.

"Xu Tu, how far have you and he actually gone?" I didn't catch what Angie said in between, but as she shook my body and asked this, I finally saw her anxious face clearly before me.

I had been in the midst of a pleasant dream when I was suddenly startled awake by a series of heavy knocks on the door.

The officiant’s mouth moved as he spoke. Cheng Rongjian placed the magnificent yet elegant wedding ring onto Ding Junqing’s finger and leaned in to press a tender, soulful kiss to her cheek.

It turned out my guess was right; Chen Shishi had indeed been on her period that day, and I had happened to walk straight into the line of fire. I knew there had to be a reason for her sudden change in attitude toward me.

"There are hidden sentries about five miles ahead. Let’s hide the car and proceed on foot. This thing isn't reliable." Zhan Tian suddenly said to Li Ke, who was driving. Shortly after, the five of them, all clad in black, vanished into the vast night sky.

"You are strong—so strong that I am helpless against you. But as a warrior, as a powerful man, I must fight! Come! Accept my thunderous wrath!" Mitchellton’s previously calm tone suddenly turned furious. Countless bolts of lightning erupted from his body, enveloping his entire frame until he looked like a god of thunder himself.

A courtyard spanning these ten-odd miles would cost at least a thousand catties of low-grade origin stones, and that was even in the Northern City, far from the bustling downtown area.

His own concubine didn't seem to eat much meat, claiming that was how young ladies were. Luo Qingrong was so frail that he assumed she was the same.

Watching the time slip away and the hour for lunch drawing near, yet with still no news of Li Ye, Tao Junlan could not suppress her mounting anxiety.

For two such meticulous and composed experts, the impostor eventually revealed a flaw. Moreover, the first time the Cat Demon saw that "me," she had smelled that the scent on her was different from mine.

Later, upon encountering Chu Luoxi, who could match his acting, Xiao Jingxuan instantly felt that perhaps it wasn't his problem after all, and he stopped dwelling on such questions for a long time.

That night, Li Ye stayed in the palace and did not return. It wasn't until after lunch the next day that Tao Junlan heard word that Li Ye had returned. She couldn't spare a thought for anything else and hurried out to meet him, ordering others to prepare hot water and the like.

Nanny Lin stood to the side with a faint smile, neither taking up the conversation nor asking why Lin Su, if these matters were not difficult, had lost so much weight that her once-rounded chin had become pointed.

Lin Su had not failed to consider Li Qiulan’s final desperate attempts to drag others down with her. However, when it came to it, Lin Su still found herself unable to be ruthless. Once, she had believed that to achieve her ultimate goal, she could discard everything, even her own conscience.

The male lead seemed to tilt his head by instinct, and the sword fell from his hair bun. His dark, bound hair instantly broke free, cascading wildly about him.

In the end, a fierce beast two zhang long, covered in coarse bristles with the head of a pig and the body of an ox, emerged victorious. It stepped proudly toward the deer-beast and, with its ivory-like tusks, pierced the lion's throat, finally ending its agony.

This place seemed to have become a slaughterhouse. Youngsters lay on the ground, groaning in pain. Lu Yun had allowed them to be tempered by the harsh realities of the world.

Wu De and Qingshan’s expressions changed abruptly. This was Zhu Yu, but why had the artificial intelligence become Zhu Yu?

The person on the bed hadn't expected Zhou Yize to look at him suddenly. When their eyes met, he was stunned for a moment, then flushed a deep red, his gaze darting away, not daring to meet the tall, cold man’s eyes.

Who on earth was this person? When had such a powerhouse appeared among the human cultivators? Zhuo Yun had never heard of him.

Back when the Seventh Princess was humiliating the Ninth Princess, seeing the Seventh Princess’s arrogant demeanor, Mo Wushang had nearly been unable to hold back from rushing out to teach her a lesson.

But as for prestige among the Imperial Beasts? Liu Yiran didn't really count on that. After all, there were only forty-some beasts in total, and twenty-five of them were trapped here and couldn't leave. Even if they all respected him, what of it?

Shen Yunya ignored Shen Qingdai’s hateful curses, instead using her sweet, melodic voice to deliver a verbal death by a thousand cuts to Shen Qingdai.

As Zhuo Yun’s fists rained down, the Saint Realm cultivator became increasingly passive, finding himself beaten back just as Zhuo Yun had been moments before.

I took Hal Jordan, my student, to my home planet, Korugar, to show him my rule over it.

Upon hearing this, Bai Luo picked up his pill, sniffed it, then crushed it and sniffed it again.
