Chapter 46: What Exactly Did You Give Mother to Eat?!

“Ah!” Princess Ping’an screamed in frustration. That old woman must have done it on purpose—first the candied fruit, now the black blood—all falling on her. There was no way it was an accident.

After vomiting the black blood, the Princess of Longevity King rolled her eyes and fainted.

The attendants and maids were all frozen in shock, helplessly watching her collapse. It was only when Cheng Xueyang spoke, “Help her to the bed,” that they snapped out of it and hurried to lift the princess.

Since I had already accepted money from Di San, regardless of whether he acted under someone else’s orders, I had to settle the matter of the mine with them now.

Before the Eternal Era, he had fought the Evil King of Slaughter in a fierce battle. After that fight, he vanished. The world presumed he had fallen, for the Evil King of Slaughter was a formidable figure before being defeated.

So, their leader decided to conduct a thorough search of the council chamber. The result was a breakthrough in their investigation.

“But I have never concealed my identity, nor deceived the Chen family. If Chen Jiahao truly is not a member of this family and uses such means, I will take him to court,” Chen Jiatai’s eyes blazed fiercely.

“Right Protector, someone of your status staging a sneak attack is hardly honorable,” I retorted coldly.

Just as I was about to comfort him, Zhu’s expression suddenly twisted into a grimace; something inside his throat and mouth stirred ominously.

An Jing signaled for us to follow her. The three of us wound our way along the stilted buildings, finally reaching the west exit of the Miao village, where a Miao man stood guard.

“Lives are at stake. I’ll explain everything to you later. But does Boss Gao have this particular herb?” Xu Nan inquired.

Qin Ge was the last to arrive at the palace square. Upon disembarking, everyone surrounded him, eagerly pressing for details of what had happened.

Ling Feng stayed at Dragon’s Lair for three days before leaving. He had intended to spend more time with his beloved, but Zhong Yan worried that keeping the shop closed for too long would arouse suspicion, so she pleaded with him to depart sooner.

Meanwhile, near the frontline of the People’s Liberation Army, vast quantities of advanced weaponry gathered—tanks and artillery in great numbers. Under the frantic assault of the superior Kuomintang forces, the Fourth Army’s Tenth Division suffered escalating casualties, the situation growing increasingly dire.

“I think it’s best if none of you come here again, right, Yui?” Kirito coaxed softly, holding Yui close.

“This is what I obtained from the Fengshao Grand Hall. If you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known. Hehe,” Xiao Yimo chuckled quietly.

Chen San’s heart skipped a beat as he sensed the surrounding flames intensify. Turning swiftly, he saw two massive fiery rhinoceroses pulling two outrageously luxurious carriages galloping toward him.

A hail of bullets rained upon the advancing tank battalion, pinging off their armor. But light infantry weapons could hardly pierce tanks. Instructor Li Yuming ordered the soldiers to suppress the enemy with the tanks’ machine guns and charge at full speed.
