“You will become my subordinate, obey my commands, and never betray me. If you can agree to these conditions, I will not interfere with whatever else you wish to do,” Jiang Tian said in a low voice.
She felt as though the entire world had become interconnected. People who appeared unrelated were, in truth, all linked somehow.
“Father, Mother, Zheng’er has been unfilial. I made you suffer in the past! But from today onward, no one will ever bully our family again!” Fang Zheng said solemnly.
He had originally intended to tear it to pieces without a second thought. Yet after reading it, Jiang Tian changed his mind and even sent the messenger bat a reply: “Agreed.”
“He should have entered the palace. Fourth Young Master, please follow him and take a look,” Mei Ziyan said softly. As she spoke, she opened the palm that had just held Mu Cheng. A smear of vivid red remained there, faintly resembling blood.
He led me into the carriage. I sat beside him while he tied a gauze veil around my face, covering half of it.
This also changed my thinking. Originally, we had planned to unite the common people of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom under the banner of a “miracle,” and in the end pass judgment on the royal family.
Qu Qingran also leaned over to take a look. The snowflake spirit hopped once to the left and once to the right, perhaps trying to convey something. But communication between different races was simply too difficult. The two of them stared at it for a long while and still could not figure out what it meant.
Before long, more than twenty moves had been played. Mu Yao said, “You exchanged my reward for a marriage bestowed upon Mu Yu and Dongming, but the Dongfang family refused. Choose something else; I will do my best to satisfy your request.”
When I saw that object, I inhaled several deep drags of smoke, then tossed the cigarette onto the ground. After so many years, this was the first time I had seen one of the six pieces into which that jade pendant had been divided. My heart surged with excitement, yet I was filled with endless emotion as well.
Xiao Li was clearly less composed than Du Chuan, but he also lacked Du Chuan’s chilling, sinister ruthlessness.
Seeing the worry in Wen Zijin’s eyes, his gaze flickered slightly. After a moment, he managed to force a faint smile.
Sun Yu’s eyes rolled once. This Chief Feng held no lowly position; among the palace eunuchs, he was considered one of the most powerful.
It seemed that Wuxiu had been tirelessly working on the matter of rescuing someone entrusted to him by Lan Tong. Lan Tong was grateful from the bottom of his heart and said, “Thank you for your trouble, Master.” As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Wuxiu.

Zhou Bingcheng placed her on the bed, bracing himself with both arms on either side of her body. He leaned over, his pitch-black eyes enveloping her uneasy features.
Only Zuotian Heya, the priest, survived after leaping into the sea. For some reason, he did not die and eventually discovered a method with a very high chance of transferring his soul into another body, allowing him to live until the present day.
After lunch, Uncle Zhang had two soft couches set up on a grass lawn sheltered from the wind and filled with sunlight. Between them, he arranged all sorts of pastries and fruits.
If you begged her, she might put up a tough front, but her heart was soft. Otherwise, she would never have told you how to make the Mufan sprout. But if you tried to force her, she would not stop until both sides were battered and bloody.
I came here from another world. I am an accomplished young man of the twenty-first century, and I even have a system assisting me. If I cannot deal with a mere eunuch, what am I even doing here?
Naturally, she had already been rather famous because of her hunting skills. This time, however, she became even more renowned because of her excellent grades.
Compared with his repeated screams of agony, Quan Moxian remained silent from beginning to end. His expression did not change in the slightest.
Moreover, fans of Luo Chao, who knew that the two of them were about to play a game together, flooded into their livestreams.
Luo Yan was just about to close the game when a friend request appeared. Seeing the user ID and recalling someone’s reaction moments earlier, she immediately knew who it was.
It had originally been nothing more than a piece of gossip. But in an age when entertainment was scarce, the topic was discussed for three whole days. Just as it was gradually dying down, Zhang Qingfang’s arrival caused it to flare up once again.
Their bodies entwined in relentless ecstasy, rising and falling repeatedly. Si Tian had no idea how many times it had happened, but it had certainly been more than once. By then, however, she no longer had the strength to argue.
When she called him, he was in a meeting. She cried as she spoke over the phone, and he could not really make out what she was saying.
Seeing him like that, Hao Junmo gnashed his teeth in hatred. He shook his arm, clenched his fist, and charged forward.
Only then did Ninth Prince say, “Once this period has passed, I will give it some thought. We will discuss the matter then.” In Ninth Prince’s mind, Tenth Prince was not suited to become emperor. Both politics and commerce involved too many twists and turns, while Tenth Prince was far too straightforward.

Hmph! It was only a handkerchief, yet she had been exposed by such a simple test. It seemed that Consort Shu’s abilities were nothing special after all.
Xiangchun Tower stood in the heart of the Imperial City. However, the Mercenary Guild was not far from the restaurant either, and they arrived after walking for less than half an hour.
The moment the car came to a stop, Gao Ya hurriedly opened the door and rushed toward the elevator in the garden, heading for the second floor.
And I, in order to survive, could only exhaust every possible means of preserving my life. At the time, I was only ten years old.
She turned around and saw the plaque above the bedchamber door. Three gleaming golden characters read: Hall of the Luo Goddess.
Ninth Prince glared fiercely at Tenth Prince, then said to Dong’e Miaoyi, “Miaoyi, this is my tenth brother.” He then turned to Tenth Prince. “This is your ninth sister-in-law.” Tenth Prince cupped his hands, while the Tenth Princess bent her knees in salute. Dong’e Miaoyi stepped aside to avoid their gestures.
The two men spent the entire afternoon discussing the question of sending troops. It was not until moonlight first rose and shrouded the whole city of Haojing that their long conversation finally drew to an end. Ji Gongsheng had to admit that if Bao Hongde and Bao Si had not harbored treacherous intentions, the two of them might have been able to cooperate or even join forces. At the very least, he could have tolerated him.
Ninth Prince sighed and left Tenth Prince’s residence. In the end, it was still Imperial Father’s move of deposing the Crown Prince that had been so terrible; it had only made everyone’s ambitions more restless.
“With fighting this intense, it is already over? Could something have happened to the trial-taker?” Xuanyuan Yandi asked with a frown. There was not the slightest clue anywhere around them.
The pool was a deep, emerald green, like a rust-speckled bronze mirror. All Lei Ming could see in it was his own face.
Seeing that Lin Kongxue still had not cast the alchemical incantation, Sande looked over in confusion, only to find that Lin Kongxue seemed to have fallen asleep with his eyes closed.
