Volume 1, Chapter 38: Eating the Meat, Leaving the Broth

After the terrifying giant serpent had wreaked its havoc, Zhuang Fan knew that the mountainside would inevitably be littered with the remains of animals. Although these carcasses might be torn to pieces, to them, struggling for survival amidst a severe food shortage, it was undoubtedly a windfall of sustenance. This was an opportunity not to be missed!

The Evil Divine Spear was drawn with a flick. Under the pressure of extreme crisis, Lin Hao’s mind and body merged into a perfect unity. In that moment, he entered a unique, self-contained realm, turned, and thrust the spear outward, pushing the power of his nameless divine technique to its absolute limit.

These people had checked in ahead of schedule. The environment was surprisingly good, and many were assigned rooms with views; opening the windows revealed the scenery outside, offering a sense of immense comfort.

After giving instructions to Yan Xia, Chen Zhong summoned Song Qiaohui. Although she had been frightened by the recent events, she was exceptionally happy.

In this naval battle, Admiral Nelson dared to break away from outdated tactical theories, employing flexible and mobile maneuvers that led to the crushing defeat of the combined French and Spanish fleets.

Akiyama Saneyuki devised an incredibly bold operational plan, targeting the exhausted Russian forces who had traveled such a great distance.

These words fell upon Nan Shu’s ears, causing her heart to ripple. It was the first time she had heard Ji Xinyi speak like this. He said she was his everything; he loved her so deeply. Her heart softened instantly, and she tightened her grip on the hand he held.

Wang Meiyu happened to glance over and witness this scene. She could not help but feel the distance between them even more acutely, and she dared not say another word.

"Why don’t you speak first, Grand Princess Consort? What exactly happened?" Chunxi remained composed, her tone unhurried and light.

In truth, Chen Zhong had been planning the purchase or lease of Chongming Island for a long time; it was a key part of his national strategy. He had already conducted a thorough investigation into the island’s conditions.

Hanyue, Hanmo, Zhuifeng, and Zhuiyue took one last lingering look at the four sisters of Chunliu. Then, gritting their teeth, they whipped their horses and followed Zhongli Luo into the distance.

"Bang!" The two swords collided, and a powerful surge of internal energy rippled outward, kicking up clouds of dust. Soldiers standing nearby were sent flying by the force of the impact.

Aunt Fan’s body stiffened visibly, but she quickly wiped the tears from her face, offering a strained smile.

Empress Shengxiaoren! My dear elder, are you trying to sabotage me, or are you just trying to sabotage me?

Since Zhang Shouyuan had already spoken, there was nothing his Seventh Concubine could do but nod in compliance.

"Brother Mo!" Falling straight from mid-air, Bai Xiyan was already paralyzed with fear by the sudden turn of events. Staring at the blood-stained dagger in Chu Mo’s abdomen, she was completely stunned.

Walking out of the bar, the street was even more desolate, and the snow was falling harder. Damn it, her new coat had been left inside. When she ran back to retrieve it, she found it was no longer on the chair. The staff claimed they hadn't seen it. Heartbroken, Du Ruo could only wrap her arms around herself and step back out into the cold.

The man in black visibly shuddered. His exposed eyes were filled with deep vigilance, his right hand gripping his sword tightly. It seemed he held a profound wariness toward this man before him who showed no fear whatsoever.

Watching Ye Hansheng speak on stage, I stealthily slipped out along the corner of the wall, so I had no idea what he said inside.

"That is the assembly call of the Rouran." Qin Shao had dealt extensively with the Rouran in his past life, so he understood the meaning of their horn.

Xin Ying was stunned for a moment. She frantically searched her memory, wondering what terrible thing she could have done recently that would give someone leverage to send evidence to her parents.
