Volume 1, Chapter 49: Bear Bile Can Save Lives

The old man sighed, shook his head, and said, "You pampered scions of wealthy families sure are full of trouble."

Ye Tianci was stunned, his eyes widening in disbelief. He thought, what kind of development is this? How did it jump straight to whether he was married? This was way too aggressive.

Xiarisi lifted her skirt and walked up to the door. Instead of knocking immediately, she placed her palm against the wooden panel, paused for a few seconds, and then withdrew her hand. She stepped back two steps, stood quietly, turned to look at Baro behind her, and nodded. After bowing in acknowledgment, Baro immediately drove the carriage away.

Lin Chen swept a cold glance over the crowd. Everyone looked back at him with eager anticipation, like prisoners awaiting a trial, their hearts pounding as they waited for his response.

Ye Tianci remained silent. This was his first time learning about these circumstances, so all he needed to do was listen quietly.

They were accommodated in the Luoxia Courtyard. After dressing and making up, the three of Mofeng, ignoring the matchmaker's dissuasion, insisted on coming to the Luoxia Courtyard together to kowtow to Lin Jinghua.

Before long, he sank into a peculiar state, his head, which had previously been merely lowered, drooping down completely.

Summoning a layer of energy shield around Claremont, the villagers naturally understood Donald's intent. Daring not to offend the foreigner capable of summoning terrifying monsters, they could only vent their anger elsewhere.

His current priority was the upcoming Yancheng Alliance Summit. He knew full well that this summit was bound to be a Feast at Hong Gate for him, and the Nine Societies would undoubtedly seize the opportunity to make a move against the Huaqing Society.

With a somewhat dejected expression, Susanna walked in holding a letter, placed it before Donald, and silently walked out again.

The Prince smiled and walked over. "This year, Her Majesty the Empress has been ill, so all matters have been managed by the Noble Consort. Tomorrow or the day after, I will likely be moving out of the palace. It won't be as easy to visit the inner palace in the future. Before leaving, I still need to come and thank the Noble Consort. Thank you, Noble Consort." With that, he bowed deeply to her.

Sang Jingyang said outwardly, but inwardly he thought: My little sister is in extremely high demand. She was targeted by that cunning wolf Ji Yuhen when she was five years old—were we ever worried she wouldn't get married? What we should worry about is how to delay her marriage a little longer.

Today, Dayu dominated multiple trending charts, but besides that, there was another matter that deeply concerned the citizens of Shancheng.

"Your Highness." Outside the carriage, a gentle breeze rustled. The oppressive summer heat had faded, leaving a comfortable coolness. The low, slightly husky voice sounded like jade pendants striking one another.

Jiuyue's nod took Jun Qingming somewhat by surprise. This was the location of the imperial tombs; how had she ever been here?

While Yun Haixu was neutralizing the incoming force and turning around, what met him head-on was indeed a fair palm, carrying a bone-chilling, biting coldness that landed solidly on his chest.

Su Luan deeply agreed with Jun Qingming's strategy regarding Nanxun. Selecting twenty veteran and novice students from her subordinates, she equipped them with ample medicinal herbs and rushed to Nanxun.

Yang Xiao knew that this first question was merely a test of the waters and wasn't difficult; the subsequent questions would only grow harder, each more riddled with traps than the last.

Pansa led three hundred men, the cream of the crop from all three villages, representing the fiercest warriors among the Sabine settlements. Wearing armor crafted from animal hides, every single one of them was an expert with the spear.

After a long while, Xiange poured herself a bowl of soup. While casually stirring it with a porcelain spoon, she spoke as if quite casually: "Did you kill Yuan Xiyun, or did you transfer her somewhere else?" No particular emotion could be discerned in Xiange's tone; she sounded as calm as if she were simply asking Xiao Zhan whether the soup tasted good.

Ivan nodded repeatedly in agreement, saying that he hadn't had much contact with Williams either, as circumstances at the time hadn't allowed it, but as long as Williams was introduced to Matthew, things would become much easier.

Before dying, Teemo shot two venom darts into him, dealing a terrifying amount of damage.

"I heard there are skeletons everywhere, and ghosts drifting through the air..." The fat man launched straight into a horror story.

Nanfang Rong felt as though he somewhat understood the system's intentions, but doing this meant facing even greater danger. One had to realize that transporting an activated Abyss Crystal to another plane was equivalent to assisting the Abyss in invading this world. If mishandled, the consequences would be catastrophic.

Walking along the familiar path, he passed numerous hotels and all sorts of dining establishments. Perhaps due to a bit of alcohol, or perhaps out of haste to return, he made the unusual choice to take a secluded shortcut.

"That will not do, Second Young Master. Zhang Chao's subordinates are as numerous as clouds of advisors. While Guo Jia is a major asset, he is not the only one. It is simply not worth provoking Zhang Chao into a fight to the death over this man," Sima Yi advised once again.

While Lü Bu was undeniably a fierce warrior—virtually invincible in single combat—his very strength made it easy for him to look down on his opponents. Without any strategists accompanying him, trouble was bound to arise easily.

Lin Yingzhu had indeed been immensely popular lately, sweeping through the entire Chinese music scene with the sudden velocity of a tornado. Anyone hanging around the entertainment industry had undoubtedly heard Lin Yingzhu's name tossed around recently.

Lin Changsheng's baffling words left Tang Feng somewhat confused, but summarized, they boiled down to one point: someone was planning to move against Lin Shiyao soon, and Tang Feng needed to be on guard. Yet why had Lin Changsheng been so evasive when speaking of the second matter?
