Volume 1, Chapter 61: Xiangzhu and Zhao Ye Exhibit Perfect Coordination

"Watch out, Your Fourth Highness!"

Liang Cai shouted so loudly that Lamei's face turned completely pale.

Before she could even react, she saw Liang Cai nimbly darting in front of the Fourth Prince, using a hand that had just been playing in the mud to grab the Fourth Prince's dark purple outer robe.

Lamei's heart ached with a dull throb as she watched mud stain the intricate silver-threaded patterns on the Fourth Prince's robe.

As the saying goes, if you are going to help someone, help them all the way; if you are going to send a Buddha to the West, escort them to their final destination. Since all the good deeds had already been done, she might as well finish this final act.

Chi Miaomiao silently covered her heart, feeling its steady and powerful beat. Her heart was still there, so she could finally relax.

Chi Miaomiao was somewhat of a celebrity now, the kind of person who had to wear a hat and a face mask whenever she went out. If gossip tabloids caught wind of anything, what would happen to her reputation?

Just as Lin Fan took out his mobile phone to play a game, Mi, the manager of the project department, barged into the office in a panic.

Back in a human middle school, Mo Zezhi had been bullied and tormented by a transferred student from the Wa clan. It was only by pretending to be foolish and enduring everything submissively that he had barely managed to make it through the college entrance examinations.

And look at the present: after experiencing two great declines, what kind of pathetic excuses for powers were the so-called Eight Clans that had risen to take their place?

It was just that the last time I saw him was when I was nine years old. Now, a decade had passed, and both of us had changed drastically. How could anyone possibly recognize someone based solely on a silhouette?

"You may all leave. I wish to speak of tender affections with the Princess." Ouyuan Lun took Princess Anqing's hand and walked straight into the room.

"The reason I came is simply to ask if you'd be willing to become my boyfriend. Although there is a slight age gap between us, I can accept all of that," He Xiaowei turned to look at Lin Fan, her face filled with anticipation.

Getting into the car, Zhou Yi hooked his tie with his fingertips to loosen it, stretched out his long legs, and pulled out his phone to send a text message to Jiang Ying: Wife, do you want a late-night snack?

"Hehe, my meaning is that we are all good companions, and having a barbecue together makes for a better atmosphere," Jingjie laughed apologetically.

Hearing this, Lin Yu felt a bit awkward and could only offer a smile. Qin Feng and Qin Yang, however, looked at Lin Yu with strange expressions, both secretly resolving to strengthen their own abilities.

The frog monster's expression froze, and the demons who had accompanied it all stiffened upright before dropping dead instantly... The frog monster's pupils also dilated; as it turned out, it was already dead as well.

Raising his head, he realized they were still in the Falling Heaven Forest. "What is going on here?" Lin Yu asked once again.

"So the Winter Kingdom will only be defeated by internal forces—is that how I should understand your meaning?" Vittorio did not come, but his sister Mary did, and her very first sentence had barbs in it.

The next day, just one day after Matsugami Yoshimitsu returned to Matsumoto Castle, he anxiously summoned all his vassals to hold a council. After all, although he had safely returned to Matsumoto Castle, for Matsugami Yoshimitsu—who had now firmly resolved to make a complete break with the Matsugami clan—the battle was only just beginning.

A heavy sound of footsteps echoed from deep within the forest, knocking down trees one after another. Countless bizarre lizards panicked at the noise and scattered in all directions as a massive monstrous beast appeared before the two of them. It possessed the body of an elephant, the head of a lion, the tail of a snake, the horns of an ox, and a body entirely covered in sharp barbs.

Bai Yi glanced toward the team leader who was currently reporting the situation, quietly slipped behind Lin MoYan, and squatted down on the ground to dig out crystal cores. Seeing this, Bai Ling shifted his position nonchalantly, blocking the lovely figure whose corner of clothing had been exposed.

"Lord Father!" Upon receiving the report, Lady Yuno and Niitsu Arisada rushed in a panic to Niitsu Mitsutomo's quarters. As soon as they entered the inner chamber, they let out two consecutive cries of grief, then threw themselves beside Niitsu Mitsutomo's corpse and wept bitterly.

Though Wu Junliang desperately wanted it, his pride refused to allow it. Rejecting the offer, he turned around and walked away.
