Volume 1, Chapter 26: The Flower Viewing Banquet

Madame Liu was overjoyed. She rewarded Li Luo generously, addressed her respectfully as "Doctor Lady," and even donated incense money to the Xiangguo Temple to light a perpetual lamp.

She still remembered the layout of the Cui residence, but she had never heard of this "Xianghe Residence." Had one of the courtyards been renamed?

Having handled the herbs for so long, she could now determine the exact weight just by the feeling in her hands.

After a series of detection spells confirmed that the hotel room had not been tampered with, he sat on the single bed and opened his dimensional pocket to let Hela out.

"Your Majesty, there is actually a way: we can kill that man." Dugu Ren suddenly placed the Heaven-Peering Mirror in front of him.

Following the demonized human incident, Le Xiang once again took the Balance Association to task, showing the world the power of Sauter and making it clear to those in high positions that they could no longer afford to provoke the current Sauter.

"Fourth Sister, don't you want to know what I've been feeding you all these days?" Dugu Liuli sneered coldly.

Xiao Nanlin raised his hands to catch the pillow that had fallen in front of him and said irritably, "Fine, fine, I know you, Ning Jin, are protective of your own."

He kicked over the table beside him. The table crashed to the floor, and the teacups rolled to Ning Wuyao’s feet, spilling tea everywhere.

"Senior Sister, why did you summon us? Are we setting off now?" Pharaoh’s black hair made him look at least ten years younger.

The Great Xuanwu Beast opened its cavernous, fang-filled mouth and let out an earth-shattering roar. The void trembled instantly, and the water clouds churned. An immense pressure, equivalent to that of a human Saint of the First Drill, descended upon the white jade bed.

Anthony pressed his fingers firmly against the blood vessels in Gu Hanhan's neck, and she opened her eyes. He took the hot water from Matthew and placed it against her lips.

The Ancient Beast Clan was one of the earliest races in the entire Hongmeng Universe. Huo Yi trembled; could it be that the Spirit of the Ice and Snow Realm had existed since such an ancient time?

The Dragon and Phoenix Twin Swords were none other than two elders from the Huangji Academy. One was named Cai Ying'er, and the other was Ze Qi, who happened to be an old friend of Mu Tian from his time at the academy.

Two hours later, a tall ring-shaped mountain range appeared ahead, shrouded in white ice mist. It looked like a giant dragon with its head and tail joined together, encircling a vast, mysterious valley.

The white beam of light collided with the giant pink palm, creating a loud explosion before both shattered into dissipating specks of energy.

After the baptism of such terrifying fire and ice, the otherworldly army was decimated, with few soldiers remaining. The four great generals of the Bourbon Dynasty continued to lead the remnant forces in a charge forward.

Although he was asking a question, Hao Yunzheng’s tone was no longer as polite as before; it carried a sense of oppression, and he was no longer the gentle Hao Yunzheng of the past.

This was something Luo Lin had said since the beginning of the Healing Wave project. She had once treated it as mere background noise, but now, tens of thousands of light-years away from the Galaxy, Gu Hanhan fully understood its essence and put it into practice.

"You say I'm a stinking man with an ugly body? Well, I'm going to get right next to you so you can look your fill. I'm coming out of the pool!" Xie Tingfeng, struck by a mischievous impulse, intentionally splashed the poisonous water in the pool, making it sound as if he had already stepped out of the Myriad Poison Pool.

Although the time ratio compared to the outside world wasn't much different, Bai Su felt no regret; she understood the principles of this space.

Tie Dan was still in a coma. Pei Jun had performed acupuncture on him and done everything that could be done; sometimes, one must simply do their best and leave the rest to fate.

In the middle of the night, Feng Yanran was suddenly awakened by a beam of light. Opening her eyes, she discovered an oil lamp lit on the table, casting a brilliant orange glow. Pei Jun was sitting by the table, staring at her without blinking.

Song Yan was awakened by Bai Su's words; this was the end of the world, and they truly could not go on as they had before.

Pei Jun found it hard to sleep, tossing and turning with one goal in mind: keeping her there. The moonlight shone in softly, and Pei Jun felt a pang of regret. If he hadn't shouted at Meng Fei earlier, she wouldn't have been too embarrassed to lock herself out, would she? If so, wouldn't he have a beauty in his arms right now?

Gu Liuxi tried hard to stifle her laughter beside them. She couldn't laugh yet; any movement would pull at her entire body, and the resulting pain would be no laughing matter. She would have to wait until tomorrow for a full recovery.

When facing Mother Chen, Xi Jiatong had already held back her tongue, but when it came to Zhao Siqi, she had no intention of showing any mercy at all.

And so, for the sake of her "golden son-in-law," she painfully spent money to make a new outfit for Er Ni and even bought her some rouge and powder.

Xu Yuqin eventually agreed. When they walked out of the hotel and saw Ye Xingchen driving his own car, she was stunned. She didn't know when he had gotten his license, but that wasn't for her to manage.

"Sure, no problem." Gu Liuxi had no major objections; as long as she had something to eat, she was satisfied.

Qing Lian just gave her a cold look, said nothing, and had no intention of answering her question.

She was a person of few words, so stingy that she wouldn't open her mouth unless asked. She was a bit like her younger sister, He Xi mused, though much more obedient—at least she wouldn't talk back.

With the matter now exposed, Zhao Guangming, in an attempt to mitigate his own crimes, naturally threw Gong Fei under the bus. When Zheng Haitao spoke the name "Gong Fei," the atmosphere in the room turned heavy.

"For the future of the family, we must struggle regardless. We never had a chance before, but now that it's laid out before us, what reason do we have not to take it?" Nanke Zhan was equally domineering.

"Brother Li, cancel the rotating shifts for the security department and strengthen the guard day and night to prevent them from causing trouble." After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Zilong said slowly to Li Zhen.

Because this was a drill, they had swapped the live ammunition in their magazines for blanks long before entering the mountains, keeping the live rounds in their packs just in case.

"Why do I feel like my life isn't worth as much as your pair of hands?" Chen Fei said, feeling a bit displeased.
