Chapter 53: Disobey and We Part Ways-A princesa volta com o filho, e o frio e poderoso ministro se arrepende amargamente(A batata-doce roxa está muito quente.)

The Ministry of Punishments yamen faces east with its back to the west, featuring prisons situated in both its southwest and northwest corners. Each of these prison complexes is further divided into an above-ground level and an underground level, constituting the grand dungeons of the Ministry.

Prince Shou and his entourage were being held in the southwest corner prison, with Prince Shou himself confined on the upper level, and the rest down below on the underground level.

As Cheng Xueyang and the other two walked in through the main gates of the yamen, Gu Mo suggested, "Your Highness, shall we inspect the prisoners first?"

Gu Xiang felt deeply touched; hosting the banquet was merely a way to provide Princess Xuanyun with a graceful way out.

"Splendid! The next step is to link the remaining servers with the quantum supercomputer!" Looking at the crown jewel finally residing in the dedicated server room, Mu Bai could not help but smile.

"I only want to ask you, what on earth is your connection to the Andrew Continent!" Her gaze locked onto mine, staring intently as if my answer could offer her some shred of hope, and as it turned out, that was precisely the case.

"By the way, Mother Xie has not been around the estate lately; where has she gone?" Taking a small sip of tea, the First Madam asked casually.

This side room was situated in a remote corner, devoid of sunlight all year round. The moment one stepped inside, an icy, penetrating chill rushed forward to meet them. Coupled with the sole window for light being covered by a heavy, pitch-black felt curtain, and the interior drifting with hazy white mist, it was enough to make anyone shudder involuntarily.

Duncan's action had been purely reflexive, meaning he was, of course, completely unprepared. That fellow had jumped remarkably high as well, his foot hooking over Duncan's shoulder and sending them both tumbling down. The terrifying part was not a normal fall, but landing directly on his neck first.

The film expressed an overwhelming amount of content. Aside from the core themes of personal growth, getting lost, and eventual self-rediscovery, it was interwoven with motifs of environmentalism regarding humanity and nature, greed versus abstinence, and so many more that one hardly knew where to begin. Yet, the movie managed to fuse them together into a seamless perfection.

To her knowledge, the Eldest Aunt was a kind-hearted woman who never engaged in disputes, immersing herself entirely in Buddhist scriptures and remaining aloof from worldly affairs.

"Damn it, are these three tree spirits a bit too gorgeous? Looking so tender and fresh, I almost feel bad about laying a hand on them," Qin Tianqi muttered to himself in secret, failing to resist casting a few extra glances at the three sirens.

Just as Shen Yun was about to cry out, he caught sight of Lin Xinying's chilling gaze fixed upon him and hurriedly swallowed the words back down into his stomach.

Whether it was because my mother-in-law's peeler was dull or not, I just could not get the hang of it. With a sudden burst of force, I accidentally sliced my finger, and bright red blood instantly welled up.

My soul traversed across time and space to this era amidst a chaotic age of war. Seeking refuge from the turmoil, I secluded myself deep within the mountains, where by chance I witnessed a falling star streak across the heavens.

Under Yifan's control, the fierce beast let out a furious roar, its body instantly sprouting dark golden bristles. These dark golden bristles burst forth with a dazzling radiance, and every single hair stood rigidly on end, as though each one were a sharp, glistening blade, radiating an intensely heroic momentum.

"Hey, what is the meaning of this? You are not even the personnel manager, there is no need for you to meddle in such matters!" Wu Zijuan protested instinctively. She knew very well in her heart that he originally had nothing to do with her—she had merely roped Tao Ran in temporarily to pose as her boyfriend. How could she let him get fired over this?

I had no idea whence this sensation arose, but it was indeed my sole sensory intuition at the moment.

Nass let out a heavy sigh of emotion, yet I found it rather peculiar. Since anyone was free to leave this base, why on earth had the two of them returned to this ghost of a place? With their capabilities, doing practically anything else would be better than rotting away in this sunless hellhole.

"Good things come in threes! Since Young Master Su is such a delightful companion, let us have another cup!" Unbeknownst to whom, Su Ying's cup was refilled once more.

"What are you so nervous about? Weren't you the one who told me not to be nervous? Why are you the one getting jittery instead?" Jiada smiled.

If it were not for the sobering realization that their own strength fell short of his, quite a few people probably would have already rushed forward to thrash the white-robed elder to a pulp.

Although Wei Shuo addressed all three of them, his eyes remained fixed squarely on Wang Maide, the newly recruited talent.
