Volume One, Chapter 28: Was She Sent by the Crown Princess to Watch Over You?

Luo Rui stepped aside, yielding her place beside the Crown Princess.

Xiang Zhu bowed, then stepped forward to gently support the Crown Princess’s wrist as she walked by her side.

"I heard the Marchioness of Changyong went to see you at the Cold Pool Palace, and I was deeply worried. I sent Luo Rui to find you, but she was a step too late, and you had already been summoned by the people of the Yikun Palace."

Water-element magic excels in defense and is often learned to compensate for the physical frailty of those who practice the sword. Its offensive capabilities are insufficient, especially against an opponent with such formidable physical cultivation.

"Master of the Clear Moon Palace, what is your opinion?" the Sect Leader of the Poison Sect asked with a sinister chuckle, turning toward the silent members of the Clear Moon Palace.

"Sister, sister! There are so many people at our door, why don’t Big Brother and Uncle Mo come out to see what’s happening?" the little girl asked, standing on her tiptoes.

By noon the following day, the barbarian vanguard had pursued the Han army for over 130 miles and finally caught up with their rearguard, which was transporting supplies. The barbarians were overjoyed, collecting numerous carts of grain abandoned by Lu Bu’s forces along the way. Whenever a wheel became stuck in the snow, the supplies were discarded; by the end of the pursuit, the barbarians had recovered no fewer than two hundred carts.

The Five-Thunder Dragon Snake let out a cry, and the scene before them began to blur, eventually shifting the surrounding environment dramatically.

Strangely, the White Crane of Heaven felt an inexplicable conviction that this was no empty boast. He had a premonition that if Zhao Han were truly to perish in the secret realm, it would inevitably trigger a bloody storm across the lands of Cangzhou.

Hum, hum, hum... The seams between the tiles across the entire arena began to glow simultaneously. It turned out that the entire area was a massive spirit-pattern formation.

As Yi Hao stepped out of the trade convention, a sinister, cold smirk appeared on his face. He looked deep in thought, his expression dark and inscrutable, before his figure flickered and vanished into the shadows of an alleyway.

The adjutant’s implication was clear: We are prepared to sacrifice our lives at any moment. If you, Zhen Shifeng, dare to coerce the commander and seize power by force, we will not hesitate to fight you to the bitter end.

"Hmph, I knew you dogs couldn't change your nature. Even in broad daylight, you’re still trying to swindle people." Upon hearing how Diao San had prepared to frame Ling Tianyun, Tan Tianya cursed with indignation.

The next moment, Orochimaru and Kabuto were shocked to find themselves over a hundred meters in the air. There was nothing beneath their feet, yet they clearly felt the sensation of standing on solid ground.

"If the Master can teach me martial arts, I will learn them to avenge my family!" Lu Wushuang said with sincere earnestness.

It was unclear if Wushuang had heard, but she murmured a soft response, rolled over, and fell back asleep.

Once in Mingzhu City, one could investigate the club owned by Xu Xi’s family to learn exactly who Xu Xi and Xu Yongguang were.

As for Dan Lao, her youthful beauty had long since faded; nearing forty, fine lines had begun to appear across her face.

Han Xinlan curled her lips in a provocative manner. "Are you capable? You..." It was common knowledge that Tang Feng was afflicted by the Seven Emotions Absolute Poison, rendering him essentially a cripple.

By the time Li Tao climbed up from the floor, clutching her waist, Su Yuan had already vanished, leaving only Akame behind, calmly and brazenly keeping watch over her.

She no longer accompanied Wang Yue to the Hero Internet Cafe challenge, yet she would sit in the corner of the cafe, watching him in secret.

By now, it was eight o'clock in the evening, but the factory workers were still busy. The newly dismantled mecha head was ready to welcome its master once again.

Witnessing the gruesome scene, Gukas and his bodyguards could not withstand the visual shock. Overcome by intense nausea, they rushed to the corner of the wall to retch violently, their expressions so pained it seemed as if they were trying to vomit their very organs.

Ji Chunmei nodded and said, "Ji Ping is seven years old this year. Because of Xu Li’s status, the child had to take my surname!" Fearing the elderly couple might take issue with the child’s name, she quickly added an explanation.
