Volume 1, Chapter 64: Lu Li? The Imperial Family of the Great Zhou!

"What do you want, then?" Mao Leyan asked. "The Way of Heaven operates in cycles; they will eventually reap their own retribution." Although she said this, she often took it upon herself to act on behalf of heaven with her own hands.

However, it was merely awkward, nothing more—completely devoid of any other distracting thoughts. He basically never paid attention to such trivialities. If he were the type to run out every few days to stroll around the streets or fuss over dressing himself up, there would never have been an Insect King.

Ling Miaomiao clutched the canopy curtain stubbornly and refused to let go. "I'm not leaving! This bed is softer than mine, I want to sleep in this one!"

"Your cousin isn't even in the palace; what harm is there in her being capable?" Su Ruran let out a soft laugh, waving a silk fan a few times. Feeling that the breeze had grown cooler, she lowered the fan again.

"There is no need. This old servant has served Your Ladyship for a lifetime..." He let out a few dry, raspy laughs. Before his voice trailed off, his eyes brimming with hot tears, he slammed violently against the pillar in front of the palace gates, sending fresh blood splashing everywhere.

"You—how can you ruin my purity and reputation!" Li Daichun's eyes and face turned thoroughly red. She cast a helpless, pleading look toward Rong Yuanyou, only to find him keeping his head lowered, lost in thought.

Uncle Liang led Ling Yunpeng and Longzai into the back courtyard. From afar, Ling Yunpeng spotted a man in his fifties completely engrossed in practicing martial arts in the yard.

"It doesn't fill me with profound terror. Isn't it obvious now? It is dead, and I am alive!" Luo Yu said casually.

Gradually, the staff member's expression turned peculiar. She looked at Su Peng as if gazing at a psychiatric patient.

Seeing that she did not wish to elaborate, Gan Ran refrained from pressing further. After playfully bantering with her for a moment longer, she floated away gracefully.

A short while later, the lighting on the photographer's side was finally adjusted. With the camera setup in place, the director gave the command, and filming officially began.

"Ask Li Xin? ... Is Li Xin someone you can see just by wanting to? Besides! Can you be certain that Li Xin's words are trustworthy?" Li Xuemei frowned as she looked at Yan Kangle.

Yan Yan gazed at her smile, every single nuance of her expression steeped in utter despair. She instinctively reached out to grasp the Empress's hand again, as if feeling that should she let go, the Empress would journey far away.

A sense of bewilderment inevitably arose in my heart. Could it be that this place possessed some sort of miraculous history?

Of course, she couldn't possibly say this to Fang Wanhua, but she could work around it, as long as she secured an audition opportunity for the role. When the time came, Qiao Nuan would rely on her own hard work to win it.

"Aunt!" In the lounge, Lan Jinqin was sitting in a chair with her eyes closed, resting her mind. Hearing a familiar voice, her entire body involuntarily stiffened.

"You'll know once you get there!" Zhu Sha left him stranded in the living room and went inside to change her clothes. As she changed, she imagined what expression Li Hai would wear when he met Jiang Donghui and looked at the menu later, feeling immensely pleased and full of anticipation.

Yet when she saw her son struggling on the edge of life and death, deep down, she still harbored a trace of resentment toward Yun Duo.

Opposite the fitness zone lay the liveliest area in the entire bar: the combat sparring zone.

By bringing this up to them, I actually had a plan in mind. However, before voicing my own thoughts, I wanted to hear what they had to think.

Even Lin Yi and Lin Er, who had been dispatched by Xiao Lang to protect Tang Yun, flashed through the air and landed right by her side.

After Du Yao finished speaking, Ninth Brother chuckled and said to Du Yao that Zhang Xu had gone out to gain experience, and since he was fine, she didn't need to worry.

As the stone mountain completely collapsed, it triggered tremors throughout the entire mausoleum. The ground vibrations were intense, and the roof of the tomb began to cave in. Every falling fragment was a massive boulder; if struck by one, even Han Wei would not survive.

He glared furiously at Xiao Lang, opened his mouth, and bit down hard on the hand Xiao Lang was using to hold him.

"It's over, it's completely over! It's all my fault. This Xu Hanyun has simply gone mad; she is going to drag our Xu family into an abyss of eternal damnation!" Patriarch Xu paced back and forth across the living room with his hands behind his back, frantic with anxiety.

At the Ma residence, Ma Jun rushed into the house in a panic. Always meticulous about his image, even his tie was crooked.

When Zhan Bai turned back inside, Uncle Snake had just removed the large black sunglasses from his face. To Ximen Jinlian's utter astonishment, the skin that was originally covered in snake scales and festering with pus had now completely healed.

Originally, gambling on raw jade stones and medicine were two completely unrelated matters. Yet, as it happened, a brilliant person once combined the two together.

Instigated by these two voices, the villagers had already closed in, preparing to seize Yun Hanrui and the others.

"What kind of mountain peak actually has pigs, cats, wolves, and horses?" Liu Shiyan asked, utterly bewildered as she stared blankly at her.

"His magical energy consumption has already reached its limit, and his personal combat capability is practically negligible. That's why he surrendered directly," Chu Yun deduced clearly, realizing the reason behind the young man's surrender, and nodded thoughtfully.

"Please speak, young hero." Compared to Jia Renda's panicked demeanor, Dingyi trusted the smiling, handsome young man before her all the more.

Yet he could not completely sever ties with the Wang family. After all, the Wang family was the third most powerful family in the capital—not a clan that ordinary families dared to provoke.

Ye Tan had once stated that everything has its use; if you deem something useless, it is simply because you have placed it in the wrong position.

"Yet there are still three needles left uninserted, and I clearly pierced every acupoint," Uncle Ninth knew time was pressing, but he had inserted needles wherever possible; why were three still missing?

Li Jing glanced at the surrounding crowd, but without continuing to speak, as he didn't know what else to say, he simply told everyone to disperse.

Zhao Daqing was just about to make a move when, upon hearing the county magistrate's words, he dropped to his knees as well, followed immediately by everyone else.

However, when they returned to the open-air square of the Meng Family stockade, the calculations were already complete: the fields here totaled five thousand two hundred mu, the mountain forests about one thousand mu, along with some fish ponds and the like. Unfortunately, while the fields and mountains belonged to them, the fish ponds did not.
