The battle raged fiercely, the clash of steel echoing through the night. As the dawn approached, I humbly ask for your support.

Lately, holding the top spot had made me somewhat proud; I was very reluctant to relinquish it. When I checked the monthly vote rankings in the early hours, I realized that the advantage we had built on the first day was slipping away.

My brothers and sisters, during the double monthly vote period, the success of a book for the month is basically set in stone.

We had an extraordinarily promising start. I ask everyone once again to help preserve this hard-earned first place.

He finally understood why he was so desperate to break through the Foundation Establishment stage—because only then could he refine the elixir to awaken the one who loved him. All those memories became clear; he finally understood why his heart trembled uncontrollably whenever he heard the name Luo Li.

"The Yellow Sea is dead, surrender to divine retribution. Those who obey prosper; those who resist perish," Liu Bin’s deep, dark voice resonated, the murderous intent so palpable it seemed almost tangible, causing Huang Hai’s men to feel as if they were staring death in the face.

She restrained her usual willfulness and stubbornness, playing the obedient and filial role in front of her great-aunt. Initially, her great-aunt was indifferent toward her, but after a few days, she softened considerably.

Yi Xue frowned and immediately retorted with displeasure, "Hmph! Then when I grow up, I’ll marry the big brother."

That night, two couples were wed: the then Crown Prince Li Zilin and the then Left Prime Minister Li Zhengyan.

Suddenly, Wen Quan seemed to believe the bold claims Ye Bing had made earlier. A prodigious talent in forging, reaching the Heavenly tier—wasn’t that a foregone conclusion?

Ling Shaofeng’s long arms wrapped around her waist, tightening little by little, as if he never wanted to let go for a lifetime.

Qin Weiwei could guarantee one hundred percent that she knew Li Zhengyan. After returning to the mansion with him, Qin Weiwei recounted everything to Li Zhengyan in full detail.

Qin Weiwei seemed to see Li Ji in a new light. She had never imagined that in the indifferent land of Da Zhou, Li Ji could be so affectionate.

They had always believed they knew Mo Ming well enough: a decadent scion, uneducated and idle, cowardly and incompetent, bullied within the family yet too timid to speak up, venting his frustrations only on ordinary townsfolk.

At this moment, few people moved along the beach; some lounged in folding chairs resting, others lay on their own blankets, eating, chatting, or playing on their phones.

The battle for succession had ended. The Dragon clan’s defeat was absolute—not only did Dong Yifeng lose miserably, but even Donghai Tian’s face was utterly lost.

I leaned against the headboard, nearly asleep. It seemed all the clues had abruptly run dry, and suddenly, drowsiness crept over me.

According to her account, Old Master Ma was seriously injured, likely with internal damage to his organs. Besides, in this desolate wilderness, where could one find a doctor? Even the bleeding alone might prove fatal.

Those unaware of the past events stared oddly at the crouching Gray Snake on the ground, seeing that, for a moment, this infamous assassin appeared no different from an ordinary high school student.

“Lord Ming, Zhang Yuanzhu is trustworthy. Once I see where he is, you’ll understand,” said the Ninth Prince directly, sounding as though he knew General Zhang Yuanzhu well and spoke with absolute certainty.

On her fair left shoulder was a wound torn open by a whip, blood streaming down, staining the palace garment she wore, which had been ripped apart.

At that moment, the man with glasses closed his eyes, as if lost in some memory. His facial expression shifted continually—sometimes joyous, sometimes sorrowful—as if reliving the bittersweet experiences of life.

So yesterday, Su Qing drank a lot of beer. That might not mean much to Chen Yuyue, but for Su Qing, it was quite a lot.

Yang Liangxi nodded, nestled in his embrace, listening to his heartbeat, feeling a profound peace. After so long, she could finally settle down.
