Volume 1, Chapter 49: A Hundred Dreadnoughts, Troops at the City Gates

Zhou Dexing collapsed instantly, sinking onto the main hall’s floor like a heap of broken clay. At this point, not a single sympathetic glance was cast his way; everyone wished to keep as far from him as possible, afraid of being entangled in his disgrace.

Ren Taiheng and the other two also wore lifeless, hollow expressions in their eyes.

Outside the window, snow drifted gently. Gu Qiancheng, lost in thought, suddenly snapped back to reality, noticing that the chrysanthemum tea in his hand had already grown warm.

However, Song Xuxu felt there was nothing much to discuss with him. Gu Yan’s intention was likely to advise her on maintaining a proper distance—quelling her love and, as her brother, to assert his authority once more.

“I will live up to everyone’s expectations. Haha, I hope the day comes soon,” said Long Zhesheng.

No sooner had he spoken than Tian Sheng’s vision blurred, and he suddenly found himself whisked away by the Demon Emperor’s teleportation, leaving the Demon Emperor’s palace behind.

After the matter was settled, Chu Xiu felt a soothing calm throughout her body and mind. She didn’t rush back to Liuyun Manor but went to visit Yun Xian’s current residence instead.

Yet, no matter how much one might sacrifice, one must not forsake righteousness. The Dongfang family had committed so many heinous acts, leading to the Shao patriarch’s family’s ruin and death, and forcing the grandfather into exile for twenty years. How could such wounds ever truly heal?

“When did they separate? Was it because they had no children?” Qin Feng asked with a curious tone.

Characteristic: Upon close contact, all living beings will be set ablaze by its flames, losing 100 health points per second.

What unsettled Duobusan even more was that Tang’s troops had long guarded the wooden fence, showing not the slightest sign of panic. Yes, not a trace of disorder despite Sairubao’s breach. How could the Tang soldiers remain so calm?

“Those people don’t seem to be from the unit. Who are they exactly?” Ju Hui, the political commissar of the armed police corps, pointed at Qin Feng, Qin Zhiyang, and Qin Zhigang and inquired.

So that was it. Chen Mo recalled that he had previously captured ten princesses here, but now they were all gone.

One of Lin Ruhai’s undercover guards disguised himself as Lin Ruhai and took Lin Xing and Lin An to inspect the salt fields.

Ming An felt somewhat embarrassed, but fortunately, the moonlight concealed most of his expression, preventing anything unusual from showing.

“No need, close your eyes. I want to kiss you,” he said, placing his hands gently on her face before covering her lips.

It must be said, the people on this forum were all talented and eloquent. Chen Mo liked it immensely; he spent the entire afternoon there and almost forgot to have dinner.

At this, Emilia’s ethereal, clear voice carried a metallic tone—firm and unwavering, leaving no room for doubt.

It was rather sad, actually. After working in Puhai for a year, he hadn’t made a single friend. Wanting to have fun and pass the time, but without cash in his pocket, he could only stay cooped up in the office.

Therefore, even plants that had undergone transformation and mutation required a suitable environment and a period of stable growth to fully stabilize and prevent regression.

Orissa could finally wail and sob openly! She could cry without restraint! She lost track of how long she cried—until her voice was hoarse and she fainted from exhaustion.

Its attributes were weak lightning and weak mercury, similar to a water ghost, but due to its scales, it possessed high resistance to physical attacks.

As night gradually faded into the pale dawn, bathed in morning dew and light, Young Master Xueyu slowly accepted reality. He silently drank his wine without uttering a single word.

Xue’er herself came from humble origins, so naturally, she felt even more sympathy for those children. After giving her instructions, Pan Jinlian and Hu Sanniang nodded in approval beside her.

Chen Han had already sunk deep into his mind, focusing all his spiritual energy on the evil eye embedded in his brow.
