Chapter 46: Make Xixi Come Back!

In this way, neither the Empress Dowager nor His Majesty would dare to force Ah Jiu to take a princess consort anymore, right? This idea is simply wonderful, truly worthy of her Ah Jiu. Ning Fei felt immensely proud inside.

"Only when your friend's mind is a bit clearer can we properly conduct our investigation." If the person involved hadn't been Wan Qi's friend, and he hadn't known he would definitely meet Wan Qi here, he wouldn't have bothered to come personally.

Xinyi blinked, as if she had just realized she had another scene in the afternoon. Then Jinrui held two dinner trays steadily in both hands and walked toward the table where they had sat many times before.

"What this king means is that without my permission, not even a fly can flutter in here. Just how did you manage to enter?" His expression darkened, and his gaze grew deep and profound.

This gesture, this thoughtfulness—if anyone hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it was something Zhan Tianyao could do.

Upon reaching the West City, from afar one could spot the iconic grand banner of the Royal Gambling House—red characters on a black background—fluttering in the wind. The queues for porridge and pulse-reading were long; though there were many people, everyone queued up consciously, and not a single person was making a ruckus or causing trouble.

Senior Sister did not even raise her head, her attitude making it abundantly clear: do not bother me unless it is something major, and even if it is something major, I might not necessarily care to deal with you.

At first, she hadn't taken it to heart, assuming he had simply drunk too much and something happened.

Ning Fei couldn't help but admire Xu Lingkuan; things had reached this stage, yet he was still able to bluff his way through.

The more Su Nianxin spoke, the more sorrowful she felt. Tears swirled in her eyes, and unable to bear looking at the beautiful scenery of the lake any longer, she lowered her head, let her tears fall to the ground, and returned indoors.

No one could have anticipated that at this critical juncture of life and death, his sworn brother, Immortal Venerable Ziyang, who had been away on business, would return. The moment Immortal Venerable Ziyang returned, he unhesitatingly stood in front of him, recklessly charging toward the three opposing Immortal Venerables.

A pajama... that was actually a pajama, and it even had a hood. Even Pengpeng knew it was childish, yet the original body didn't mind it in the slightest. Hehua, hailing from the Da'an Dynasty, found it completely incomprehensible.

As soon as someone brought it up, the rest thought about it and realized it really was the case, prompting them to voice their condemnation one after another.

Hearing the slight tone of reproach in Yunxi's voice, Wang Yu scratched his head, stammering out of fear that Yunxi might blame him.

He hurriedly shouted a command for the Brier Tiger to hold back the flames in its mouth, but the residual heat was hard to dissipate, instantly washing over the Man-Eating Owl. The Man-Eating Owl executed a clumsy donkey-roll, gritting its teeth against the burning pain as it barely managed to shield its head and scramble aside.

As he spoke, Jiang Qixuan patted Zhou Huan on the shoulder, resting one hand on Zhou Huan's other shoulder, offering earnest and sworn reassurances as if he were afraid Zhou Huan might do something drastic.

It was the very first embodiment of metal spirit between heaven and earth; any metallic magical treasure was as nothing before it.

At this moment, Lü Lie instead forced himself to calm his mind. What was there to fear? At worst, a dead man stays dead. Throughout his journey here, he had experienced countless life-or-death desperate situations; truly speaking, he should have died a dozen times already, so one more time wouldn't hurt.

"I misunderstood the person who saved me, thinking he was taking advantage of me, so I slapped him," Hehua explained further.

Chuchu: My mom told me that when I go out to work in the future, I shouldn't form cliques. Some people have bad character and are wholeheartedly bent on making trouble. They are one way to your face and another behind your back. They praise people to their face while plotting evil behind the scenes.

After allowing Wuming to break through to the mid-stage of the Saint Realm, the star core of that colossal star beast had only been consumed by the tiniest fraction, remaining overwhelmingly vast.

Guo Yongchao had not expected that although Liu Dacheng agreed with him initially, he would immediately turn around and pinch his weak spot, humiliating him until his face burned with embarrassment.

Goudog and Stone saw Erwang acting so swaggering and went up to give him a thorough thrashing, beating Erwang until he howled and begged for mercy repeatedly.

Ma Han's nostrils flared; he could not afford to lose his temper again, as that would lower his standing. He cast a heavy look at Old Li. Among the suspects who might have found someone to drive a car and ram Liu Yang, Old Li might well be one of them, and the fact that he had jumped out so impatiently only increased the suspicion resting upon him.

Xinghua and Mu, who had already woken up, stood outside the teahouse. After watching that distant stream of sword light fade away, Xinghua let out an "ah" of admiration, then stood on tiptoe, leaning her entire body sideways against Mu next to her.

After savoring that piece of meat, Nakama Temple immediately reached out and picked up a goblet filled with red liquid from beside the dinner tray.

Lin Nian was somewhat dazed, frightened by his mother's weeping. Wan Mengyue's agitated tone also made him feel uneasy. He stared at the unfamiliar man a dozen feet away who was looking at him with urgent eyes, suddenly puckered his mouth, and burst into frightened tears.

Lin Jingzhan looked at the serene woods surrounding them, walked to the edge of the pool in the middle of this valley, and then stopped.

The martial king archers participating in this battle had all taken part in the pursuit outside Shaoxing City; the early-stage martial emperor archers had either participated in the battle outside Shaoxing City or outside the sect. Therefore, upon seeing so many sea beasts arrive, there was only excitement on their faces, with no sign of fear or retreat.

The catapults, arriving later, hurled boulders the size of an embrace into the sky. Following nearly perfect parabolic arcs, they landed either ahead of or behind the vicinity of the city wall. Less than twenty percent of the twenty catapults struck the wall itself, and the city gate—wide enough for four carriages to pass abreast—remained completely undamaged.

Wells that had been buried during the war were excavated by those who knew the craft; severely damaged canals were restored to mint condition by their original builders, and even the irrigation system was overhauled and made more comprehensive.

Nothing was unfolding according to her wishes. Once the cultivation levels of Wu Bin and Lin Chen reached her tier, she could no longer control anything about them.

An old man rushed out from the Jiang family, with a head of silver hair and a stooped back; no one could discern his true appearance.

"As long as we survive this battle without dying, I will promote him to Qu-commander," Liao Hua said without raising his head, his tone extraordinarily relaxed even when mentioning life and death.

Zhou Lei shook his head as he recounted the various events that had taken place within the real world over the past week. Still feeling a lingering fear, he suddenly snapped his head up and spoke.

At this moment, only the Roc King remained calmly sipping his tea, only occasionally glancing over without a shred of panicked expression.

Director Qu clearly looked like someone who had held a leadership position for a long time. He didn't engage in bureaucratic double-talk with Fatty Xu either, cutting straight to the point. Judging by Fatty Xu's initial appearance, he probably assumed Fatty Xu would release the prisoner the moment he spoke. Who would have thought Fatty Xu merely chuckled dryly twice and waved his hand dismissively at the young police officer?
