With only a single vegetable left to stir-fry, Qin Yueyao walked out of her room and was utterly stunned when she saw Lu Yichen and the table full of dishes.
"Goodness me, brother-in-law, you made all this!"
"You are simply amazing!"
Xiaoxiao's situation had happened suddenly and thus required prompt handling. Although the Empress Dowager, the Jade God, and Sifu were all aware of it, no one had informed the Great Emperor. Such news was a good thing, and presenting it as a surprise would not be amiss.
The lotus pond at the vocational nursing school was not particularly large, but the surrounding pavilions and facilities were winding and interconnected. Combined with the numerous trees and greenbelts planted along the banks, it carried a distinct charm of a secluded path leading to some quiet haven.
The Sea of Trees—originally the mountain closest to the sky, its peak had been cleanly severed by someone, turning it into a headless mountain.
Wuchitai deliberately excluded the Chahars, waiting until the various tribes successfully united to resist the Ming dynasty. Then, his Khalkha would become the undisputed co-ruler of all Mongol tribes, and by that time, any so-called golden lineage would have to step aside.

"Break it up, you two aren't a good match." Ouyang Lanru did not waste any idle words; she went straight to the point, demanding that Kim Taeyeon break up with Li Mingqiu. Although a thick smile still lingered on her face, Kim Taeyeon could still detect a trace of underlying chilliness.

The blockhead principal reached out into the void, causing that massive sword to shake like a towering mountain peak. With the momentum of crushing the firmament, it slashed toward Zhao Ritian. The three blade beams that Zhao Ritian had conjured in the void met it head-on with a force capable of shattering the heavens and earth.
