Volume 1, Chapter 29: Continued Decline

The table was set in a way that could only be described as a candlelight dinner. Candles and rose petals—two quintessential elements of romance—were arranged perfectly upon it.

"Your Highness, why must you do this? You know full well the Prince does not love you, yet you insist on jumping into this pit of fire. If your father were to see this, how his heart would ache!" Zhu Man said, gazing at Tang Ya with tear-filled eyes.

"No, thank you. I am working on this with my sister. It wouldn't be appropriate for you to come along." Li Guyu hurriedly declined, fearing that Cao Jianhua might actually come to help her. If that happened, she truly wouldn't be able to explain the situation.

Last year’s Melon Music Awards were a resounding success. Although there were whispers of the awards being distributed like slices of a cake, the most significant honors were at least well-deserved, which is why the Melon ceremony has become the most acclaimed music awards show in South Korea today.

These three attacks were undeniably powerful; even an opponent of the same cultivation level would be reduced to ashes in an instant, leaving no room for suspense.

Therefore, Qin Yun had prepared himself from the very beginning to endure immense pain. He was not afraid of suffering, yet the process described by the Phoenix Ancestor never came to pass.

"Kang Naixin, you are overthinking it! I intended to poison him, but your poison has absolutely no effect on him!" Gong Manqin retorted with cold fury.

The expressions of the Destiny Immortal King and the others turned grim. The Heavenly Court possessed many half-step Immortal Kings, and at a time like this, they were all potential candidates to ascend to the rank of Immortal King, which would greatly bolster the overall strength of the Heavenly Court.

Fine! So this had become the territory of the Nine Great Palaces. I wonder what the members of the Holy See would think if they heard that.

"Nonsense. I have already returned to my cave dwelling. No one from the outside will ever break in. Not even with a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers!" Luo Yi steered the conversation back to the point, implying that no one could save them now. Everything was firmly within his grasp.

Qi Fei dashed out of the village in a few strides, then lowered his head and sprinted toward a field of corn, standing as tall as a man, in the distance.

Yelu Guang’s aura was fully unleashed; he finally intended to demonstrate his true strength. Previously, he had merely been defending, without launching any real offensive.

"Who else could it be!?" Zhang Daoxuan glared, his eyes wide, while the rat head on his neck swayed from side to side in clear dissatisfaction.

Seeing Ma Shiying and Wang Duo walking toward the Wuying Hall, Qian Qianyi hesitated for a moment before having no choice but to follow.

Only when the Dragon race evolves to a higher tier and transforms into another biological form can they completely break free from this shackle.

"Heh. When he wakes up, ask him yourself!" After saying this, Jin Gangshan fell completely silent.

"I’m not afraid of a beating. With my physique, what could a few blows do? It’s the anger I’m worried about. Honestly, I didn't mean it!" Brother Cat fretted.

Once ashore, Qi Fei immediately discarded his black armor and stripped off his wet undergarments, then ducked into the woods nearby. Before long, he returned to the shore with an armful of dry grass and branches; evidently, his transformation into a lion-humanoid had also enhanced his wilderness survival skills.

No one noticed Ye Wanxi’s unhappiness. Her mind was entirely occupied with the scheduled time, and she wondered when the matron would arrive.

Du Sha and Du Zun looked up, only to see a mass of black light in the center of the lake, with strange characters spinning rapidly around its periphery.

To avoid alerting the enemy, he pretended to stand up and stretched, and the moment he turned to face the bed, he secretly commanded the mall to transmit a submachine gun fully loaded with ammunition.

For example, if a serf left their territory and escaped into a city under the direct jurisdiction of the Duchy, and was not retrieved within a day, they became a free citizen. Whether they could survive afterward or would eventually sell themselves back into the serf market was another matter entirely.

However, this provided him with some convenience; this way, Ma Shengling and Eighth Master were unlikely to cause too much trouble for Chu Xi in the short term.

By that time, Sima Xiaoran had already left this world, and the Emperor had only this one son left. No matter how deep his grief or sorrow, he could not simply send his only remaining son away as well.

This child was, in fact, the Crown Prince’s; the Crown Prince simply did not want him and refused to acknowledge him.

Xu Lang took one last deep look at Zhang Zhi Ming before turning to leave Interrogation Room No. 1. As he left, he told Zhang Zhi Ming the cruel truth.

It was much like exams in school; one would almost always be assigned to the same room, and the top hundred students essentially all knew one another.

A horse-drawn carriage sped past them like a bolt of lightning, stirring the hems of their garments and veils, and kicking up clouds of fine dust.

Ibrahimović and Cavani were incredibly frustrated; as the most famous strike partnership in Ligue 1, they had breached the defenses of countless teams.

Watching Gu Chengfeng obey Lu Tangtang’s every word, a strange feeling stirred in Su Yudao’s heart.

Yun Heng, having long since resolved himself to death, decided to give up all hope. Facing the long sword that had already cut into his neck, he burst into wild, defiant laughter.

Gu Chengfeng’s thoughts aligned with Lu Tangtang’s. Upon hearing her words, he grabbed Su Yudao’s wrist without hesitation, while using his other hand to slap an invisibility talisman onto her.

Big Screw likely collected the "Dummy’s Guide to Dragon Language" in hopes of communicating with Nefarian. If he could somehow become Nefarian’s brother-in-law, it would be a massive windfall.

Gu Chengfeng had been lost in the past, but upon feeling the change in the blood contract mark on his palm, his expression shifted in an instant.

These words struck everyone’s heart like a clap of thunder on a clear day.

Upon hearing this, Kong Chengdong was shocked once again. This item was priceless and rarely found; the fact that Su Ye used it just to rinse his mouth showed that his background was far from simple.

Mu Ruoyan frowned and was about to say something, but her uncle, Mu Qingshan, exchanged a meaningful glance with her father, Mu Yuanshan.
