Volume 1, Chapter 45: Grandpa Is Very Fierce

If that reigning empress, accustomed to towering heights, were to discover that the complete imperial examination system was quietly orchestrated by him behind the scenes, her jaw would likely drop in astonishment.

However, for him, maintaining a low profile was currently the most crucial thing.

He could simply let his future father-in-law, whom he had never met, take the credit and reap the rewards. He was not jealous, nor did he feel any sense of imbalance in his heart.

He only hoped that when the day came for them to meet, his esteemed elder would not put too much pressure on him!

Li Xian shook his head and finally stepped into the Li residence.

To be honest, he was quite curious to meet the Empress of Great Qian.

Word had it that she was not only the supreme ruler of the nation, but also a peerless beauty across the territories of the Three Kingdoms.

Once, back when the former Emperor Qian...

"However, I am too busy here and cannot get away. Why don't you fly over to see me tonight, hmm? You don't have many scenes anyway, just ask the director for a leave of absence, alright?" Huo Jitang’s voice was deep and low, laden with a strong, seductive allure.

"If that is what you think, then so be it." Yun Yang could not be bothered to explain. She lowered her gaze to look at the churning magma once more, its crimson glow casting reflections upon her face, rendering her expression unfathomable.

Seeing the once arrogant and provocative vixen now entirely at her beck and call, Lin Zhi felt a wave of sheer satisfaction. This served him right for previously plotting against Li Meili’s family and bullying Lan Jia; she was finally able to settle the score once and for all.

She feared that He Ning'an had long since lost any affection for He Ning'shi, and had only arranged for him to stay at the Watching Moon Tower out of sheer helplessness—when she previously went to the Watching Moon Tower to see He Ning'shi, he was merely performing menial chores.

Given the bond forged through treating his injuries, coupled with Bai Yinying's gentle tone, which carried a subtle warmth of concern and naturally intertwined his affairs with her own, Carlos saw no reason to conceal anything further.

Lin Zhi was well aware that she had absorbed less than half of Hu Qiye's inner core power. The best strategy now was to feign an alliance with Gao Mingxuan to break out of the encirclement together—if possible—and then eliminate him.

Of course, had Fiona been trapped within the crystal ice for hundreds of years, subsisting solely on frigid blocks of ice every day, her very first instinct upon emerging would likely be to seek out various modern delicacies of the current world to pamper her taste buds. Eventually, this towering and domineering Ice and Snow Monarch developed a deep fondness for a remarkably simple dish: roasted meat.

Such formidable strength left her astonished; the webbing between her thumb and forefinger holding the sword had actually split from the impact. Had it not been for her physical divine energy and sheer strength, Fiona believed that single blow could have shattered all her internal organs to dust.

Fiona's voice remained cold as ever, yet a trace of internal conflict stirred within her heart. Would acting this way seem far too wanton?

"What kind of doctor are you? Save her already! With a level of skill like yours, how can you even call yourself a physician?" Gu Zhenyu roared, grabbing the school doctor tightly by the collar.

Fang Cuiying cast a fleeting glance over the shops lining the entire street, marveling at how all of these belonged to their family. Just how much wealth did this represent? Never in her wildest dreams had she ever imagined owning an entire street of storefronts.

Yet, once they understood, a subtle shift emerged in the gazes the elders cast toward Guangyu.

Knowing they harbored terror toward Qinglian's arcane sorceries, Jin Yun declared in a clear voice, "Everyone, Qinglian has already been immobilized by the talisman."

Through this exchange of words, Qian Renxue essentially acknowledged Guangyu's strategic intellect, recognizing that at least the man possessed some brains.

Armed with the system space as an ultimate cheat, Li Tianyi enjoyed a relatively smooth journey and had already climbed to the seven-hundred-meter mark.

Looking at the man's sharply chiseled profile, her lips slowly puckered into a pout. Suppressing her emotions, she miserably curled up into a corner, hugging her plump self with a heart-wrenching sense of self-pity.

The moment you saw the medical orders Dr. Wang prescribed for Room 3, you decided to carry out this homicidal plan, which was why you also issued prescriptions of promethazine and chlorpromazine for the patients in the other rooms.

Inside the imperial palace, resplendent with gold and jade, the atmosphere was exceptionally lively. Everyone was animatedly discussing the young Battle King and the battle that had taken place a month ago.

Upon hearing the police sirens, the black motorcycle not only failed to stop but instead accelerated forward, clearly attempting to evade police pursuit.

Mind energy was merely the foundation; manipulating and directing mind energy to manifest various capabilities and methods was what truly constituted a Nen ability.

He dared not merge with the divine flames at all; doing so would likely incinerate his very soul completely.

I was stunned. Weren't you the one who said this method was the only way to cure it? Why is there a problem again all of a sudden?

If she were to step inside now and lay eyes on the place where she once lived alongside all her memories with Li Mingyi, she truly would not be able to bear it.

Hearing Helian Tiehua put it that way, the few individuals beside him exchanged glances before finally nodding helplessly, lifting Ye Peng and the Chubby King into the vehicle, and departing from the dockside first.

Luo Yiwei's eyes were still veiled by a thin mist, obscuring her expression and making her look at him in a daze, before she abruptly pushed his hand away.

The massive airflow rushing through the cabin door made it impossible for Lu Feng to breathe. Knowing that jumping from here meant stepping into a completely new world, he braced himself.

"Ha, fortunately we have you here today, Fatty. There is no doubt those people are dead meat." Hearing the fatty's words, Sima Feng chuckled. With a Soul Emperor brought along, the situation was fundamentally different; Yang Feng and his companions were destined to be no match, sealing their fate.

Although this phone number was already ingrained in Su Lichai's memory, he still meticulously entered it into his phone's contacts.

He offered her a choice, yet the emperor denied them any choice at all. The subtle anxieties and lingering dread that had periodically washed over his heart had finally become reality. In the face of the imperial will, he was insignificant, and Xia Chu was equally insignificant.

"No problem, let's find some time after the New Year to take a trip to Island Nation. Regardless of whether we can track her down, we must at least try," Ye Tian stated with unwavering resolve.

Once that happened, Cheng Yuanlong would inevitably lead the elite masters of the soaring gates to storm the Carefree Sect, firstly to avenge his son and secondly to salvage the tarnished reputation of the soaring gates.

Regardless of the circumstances, under such conditions, the Hammer Bureau had secured an opportunity for rapid development—or more accurately, expansion—extending its reach to the vast majority of regions across the globe.

Throughout this recent period, Yang Yang had spent the majority of his time mentally rehearsing the refinement process of the Earth-Nourishing Pill over and over again in his mind. He possessed only a single portion of theVirtuous Earth soil, leaving zero margin for error.

"No, I did not hold back! I gave it everything I had, attempting to harness the bone-deep power of the earth to strike you down, but your strength surpassed mine, suppressing even the nether bone realm! I accept this defeat wholeheartedly and gracefully. Truth be told, I genuinely wanted you dead!" Gudu Jili declared.
