Chapter 116: Making a Great Scene
"Mom, Dad, do you know something?"
"You have the nerve to ask? Don't you have any sense of what you've done? Must you make us old folks take the blame for you? Everyone outside knows about it now, and I want to see how you plan to clean up this mess."
Yuan Xiangdie felt no need to cover anything up; as far as this matter was concerned, it was enough that the man she loved believed her.
Jin Yuan listened to the call from the butler and knew his parents must have been giving Yuan Xiangdie a hard time again. Yet, the matter continued to fester in his mind, to the point where even he could not tell what was true and what was false. The photographs of the two showed no signs of manipulation, and...
With overwhelming strength, the authority of the throne, and the loss of their leader, it became much easier to seize control of the city.
He wore only a simple mask, his forehead glistening with sweat, clearly having run at a grueling pace, his chest still heaving violently.
Without obtaining more flat peaches and ambrosia, Lu Heng had no choice but to seal Zixia’s physical body and consciousness once more, waiting for the next opportunity for a cure.
Duan Muyan squeezed her hand; in the chilly weather, her hand remained so warm that he found it harder to let go.
This was a wife's duty, one she could not refuse. Still, Jin Luo frowned at him, as if to say, are you certain this is truly necessary?
However, as the Lunar New Year approached, there was a custom in the palace that the families of imperial concubines ranked as Noble Lady or higher could enter the palace to reunite with them before the holiday.
It was sealed with strips of paper and bound by chains, clearly the result of Zhou Chong’s premeditated tampering.
As the monks chanted in unison, a terrifying phenomenon occurred; wisps of internal energy drifted from their bodies, all converging into the form of Zhen Xuan, who sat suspended in the void.
Previously, Caidie had assumed the monkey was just flailing about randomly. But when the Vajra executed a complete set of staff techniques, Caidie was astonished to realize that the monkey actually knew martial arts.
"Since you have already decided to get engaged, then Mother has nothing more to say. Of course, I hope to hold a grandson soon," Mother Lou said, finally breaking into a smile.
As the key figure who had managed to raise the military funds for the border troops, Zhu Ming was required to attend the oath-taking ceremony.
Gu Nanwan was silent for a rare moment. Watching the guilty expressions of those people, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
Shen Wei thought with disdain, but he cooperated and looked over anyway. After all, regardless of the circumstances, the man was still his father, and one must do what is required.
"Why would you think that?" Wei Xin was startled. By asking that right at the start, he had already alerted the enemy; how was he supposed to proceed now?
The moment she tasted the blood, it was as if sparks had ignited in Wu Yue's mind; she felt dizzy, and the cloying, sweet taste of blood in her mouth grew stronger and stronger, engulfing her senses completely.
After dropping Liu Lanxun off at home, Lu Qingwan asked Qiulan to send a message to Madam Xu, relaying the advice given by the Grand Princess.
Yan Laosuan’s troops are retreating, and the Japanese aren't giving chase. I suspect he has other plans in mind.
For the first time, she realized that in the fields of technology and research, Zhou Li might have already partially caught up to, or even surpassed, the Angels.
The connection between the two had reached its end; she would no longer indulge in pipe dreams and would stop thinking about it entirely.
Both attacks missed, and the Thunder Flame Dragon roared in frustration. As fresh blood seeped from beneath its scales, a rolling sonic wave spread outward, searching for the vanished He Lili.
When they calmed down, the dust had already settled. A cold wind blew past, and the large boulder had vanished without a trace, even the dust it had suddenly emitted blown away by the wind.
Feeling the firmness in Steward Huang's voice, the guard dared not defy his will, so he quietly slipped out of sight while no one was paying attention.
He didn't even know why he had transmigrated just by bumping into a tree. Others transmigrated by being crushed to death or through suicide, but he had merely bumped a tree, not even sustaining a minor injury, and yet he had crossed over. Could it be that transmigrating really depends on one's character?
