"Princess Dingguo, the Empress Dowager makes all the decisions here. It is not your place, an outsider, to point fingers. As you said, this is Nanhua, not Xiyue. Who asked you to meddle in other people's business!" Hua Siyuan glared with a ferocious expression, roaring at her.

"Well, we are all here now. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future, so don't act as if this is a final parting," Han Moqing said.

At the same time, Shirou Emiya projected a red sword of unknown origin, swinging it through the air to launch a massive fireball toward President Zhu.

Tong Xinyuan wiped away her tears; she knew exactly what her mother meant in her dream—she was being told never to trust in love.

Xue Qiong suddenly remembered and immediately raised her right hand to her eyes, discovering with astonishment that her final Command Seal was still there.

Duran’s shoulders shuddered, and Tassadar’s plasma-state body appeared unstable; within the orb of light, silver rays of energy churned incessantly, vividly reflecting his profound shock.

"If there is nothing wrong with this suspension bridge, then what are those white dots above the treetops below? Take the binoculars and look for yourself!" As Ye Lixin spoke, he handed the binoculars to Bai Hua’er, who stood closest to him. She took them, peered through, and could not help but tremble.

"Hello? Young Master, calling me so late—don't tell me you’re injured again?" Meng Ping’s voice came from the other end of the line, sounding somewhat intoxicated.

As they spoke, Lin Guohua’s apprentices had already secured the raw jade onto the cutting machine, ready to begin at any moment.

Due to the incident involving A-Lun, Mo Gan and the others had been forced into the shadows; even now, it was inconvenient for them to show themselves.

These matters were not circulated among the public to maintain a sense of harmony. However, anyone who had spent even a few years in the domestic collector's circles would have heard of similar cases.

Hearing the underlying warning in her words, Mu Biwei wondered if Qu Bo’fan had relayed something to the Empress Dowager, or if the Empress Dowager had already heard the rumors spreading from Yuntai Palace and had begun to resent all the favored concubines in the palace.

By the time Lucifer arrived, she had already transformed into Lilith, and it was imperative that she have no further contact with him.

Jun Yi waited for a while, and seeing that he remained silent, she asked, "Are there many maple trees on the mountains there? The kind whose leaves turn red when autumn arrives?" Jun Yi recalled visiting the Great Wall in her past life and seeing how beautiful the maple trees outside the wall looked in the autumn.

Ji Yan stared blankly at Zi Xi’s retreating figure, suddenly collapsing powerlessly to the ground with an expression of utter disbelief.

Sometimes, when a person encounters an insurmountable hurdle, all they need is someone to confide in. Lili did not know if she was qualified to be that person for her master, but she would at least try.

Juno III sneered. Where he was, he was merely a projection, and the connection had been severed cleanly. The karma that Mythis spoke of would not fall upon his true self.

Xu Hongyi stared in astonishment at the completely unfamiliar boy before him. He had trusted Lin Yang implicitly, which was why he had unknowingly revealed emotions he usually kept hidden. He had never expected that this would push their relationship into such a dangerous position.

However, Zhuo Ling wore an apologetic expression. "Rumors stop with the wise. Other people have their own mouths; why care what they say?" These gossiping busybodies were truly detestable—they didn't do their jobs properly and spent the whole day whispering behind people's backs. Just wait; let me catch them in a mistake and I’ll have them fired.

This Nanhai market forbade fighting. Although Ren Lao was a Golden Core cultivator, he could not mobilize his true essence. Being held back and unable to leave, his face was filled with rage.

If it happens to be a rainy day, listening to the pitter-patter of raindrops hitting the roof often brings a subtle sense of heartache.

A broken robot, if not recovered, can only be sold for scrap. The core component will explode, so it must be discarded, but the materials within that core are the most valuable part.

And so, she was left with only one final option: to sever all ties here and return to her lonely world.

Lin Yuzhen watched the boss’s face light up with a smile she had never seen before—a smile filled with deep warmth and undisguised doting—and her confusion deepened.

Although he had no affection for Zhuo Ling, he hesitated, fearing that if he harmed her now, Nanxi would never forgive him if she found out.

The mechanical construct had much higher resistance than a standard mechanical soldier; it was completely immune to spells below level ten, and only those above level fifteen were likely to cause it any damage. To directly destroy the construct, one would need a spell of at least level twenty-five striking a vital point.

Although the enemy did not enter the "pocket" as Ji Hongchang had planned, he had to launch the general offensive to prevent them from slipping away. Zhang Tao and Gu Jingsheng immediately called Fang Zhenwu, Ji Hongchang, and Xuan Xiafu, and subsequently issued the order for the entire regiment to attack.

She had assumed that those rumors from back then were merely hearsay and that Old Madam Fang was not actually that difficult to get along with.

Hearing Long Aotian’s words, the leader felt a surge of dread. He was now certain that Akrid must have offended this group; otherwise, they would not be acting this way.

Zhu Xia remained frozen in his pose, holding a mouthful of air with his lips rounded, staring blankly at her. He was weeping internally, even feeling the urge to cut his own throat. He wondered how his luck could be so abysmal... But then he was startled, suddenly realizing: why hadn't his spiritual sense detected her before this eccentric creature appeared?

Seeing that they had frightened the person away, Lady Li and Nanny Zhou could not help but laugh. The two of them went out to look after the children, while Ren Yaoqi sat for a while longer in Ren Yaohua’s room.

This was a rare moment of humility for Xu Yue, and Chu Xiong naturally would not be ungracious, immediately expressing his gratitude. The reason for Xu Yue’s attitude was the many wonders Chu Xiong had displayed. Such a person was indeed a treasure to the sect.

Kong Qiu did not mind, turning to enter the residence. Wang Can followed Kong Qiu inside, and they took their seats in a pavilion in the backyard.

Mo Yanye carefully cleaned the house from top to bottom, his mind wandering to the times when Su Qing would be busy in the room while he sat alone on the sofa, preoccupied with his own affairs.
