Volume 1, Chapter 62: One Million, Is That Enough?

Since ancient times, the path to supreme imperial power has been paved with countless streams of blood and piled-up white bones. At this moment, she only feared that she, too, would become merely a patch of blood staining the foot of the dragon throne.

Ling Junze did not come to rescue Wei Qingwan, and in the end, Wei Qingwan's palms were still struck by the tutor's ruler.

The remaining few looked at each other in bewilderment. Did the Prince and Princess Consort brave the scorching sun just to come here specifically to praise them?

At this moment, the family of three had gathered, each occupying a side, posing as if they were going to secure Huai Zhen’s release on bail.

Yet Wei Xiao now had the capital to be narcissistic. Sooner or later, she would feel too shy and restrained in bed, requiring him to coax her for ages before she would consent to try the positions he desired. But tonight, without even needing his coaxing, she obediently cooperated with him in doing things she would never have dreamed of doing before.

Following that, Su Wushuang went with his father to the hospital to visit Yan Xiyue. Fortunately, Yan Xiyue was incredibly resilient and his life was not in danger; after resting for nearly a month, he was able to be discharged, while his grandfather received the punishment he deserved under the law.

"Let's go out for a walk and digest our food!" Ye Moxing suggested. Although she was quite a homebody herself, lying on the sofa all day right after eating was truly no different from raising a pig.

The faint, crisp sound of metal, coupled with an inadvertent interrogative tone, made her feel as though a police officer were questioning a minor why they were probing the boundaries of the law.

"Tell me, is it time for the banquet to start yet? My stomach is rumbling with hunger," Luo Guangtou asked.

Seeing Lin Cha agree, the smile on Qin Moshan's face grew even brighter, and he decided to give Lin Feng a raise.

Now was the critical moment for Zhou Tianyu's breakthrough, and Monkey San knew that at such an important juncture, his elder brother must not be disturbed.

After that, I called Cao Xuanyun. Because of the Wildfire incident, the military had stationed some personnel in Yulin City. I asked him to help me find a way to get the roster of those military personnel stationed there.

Just with these few words, Wanyan Lingyue felt all her previous vexations and grievances dissipate like smoke.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Leng Yitong smiled, and her confident demeanor made Shan Liwen feel inexplicably secure.

Liu Shan trembled as he slowly opened his eyes, thinking this might just be an illusion. After all, how could anyone climb from the first floor to the sixteenth floor? That was simply impossible.

"Swish—" A streak of black lightning flew right before her eyes, turning out to be a massive black tiger over five meters long from head to tail. Its fur was completely black without a single speck of other color, and on its forehead grew a natural crescent-shaped lump resembling a tumor.

"I hope so. Actually, she had already stopped crying during the day; I just don't know why she always cries as soon as night falls," Yang Yan said with a helpless shake of his head.

Under Su Linye's arrangement, Wanyan Lingyue put on a human-skin mask, exchanged clothes with Jingxi, and hastily escaped from the Qianyang Palace.

"L, I will send you all the data on Wildfire's main stronghold. Pick a few team members to go with you," I continued.

The most critical issue was that aside from Mrs. Jia, who was half-elderly, Jia Dongxu's family was left with only the underage stick-梗 (Bangeng).

Douglas's palms burst open, dripping with blood, and then his steps came to a sudden halt. His four middle arms followed closely behind, unleashing a ripple shockwave—a formidable "quasi-demi-god skill."

A startling explosion echoed through mid-air, and a sky full of water splashes turned into endless rain pouring down from the heavens.

"Director Zhang, you are simply bullying people too much! This house was given to me and the child in my belly by Shazhu; he never once told me he was mortgaging the house to you! Besides, I am carrying Zhuzi's child in my womb. What you're doing is entirely devoid of human empathy!" Qin Huairou cried out loudly and bitterly.

This was a young woman who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. She was dressed in an emerald-green dress, her youthful face pure, tender, and exquisite.

While Zhang Zhaoxia's side was filled with cheer and harmony, Wu Xie's side was not communicating quite as ideally. Even though he told the fake Huo Xiuxun about Zhang Jinshan's ordeal, it still failed to shake their determination to enter the Ancient Zhang Family Mansion.

After tonight, who knew how many years or months it would be before she would have such an opportunity to be alone with him again.

Ji Yuan began having people search for information regarding the deities of the Spirit Realm and their believers, while continuing his cultivation.

With that, Yi Zhonghai stared fixedly at Shazhu and Qin Huairou, hoping to make the two of them state their stance publicly in front of everyone.

Especially since some were speaking in the Southern dialect, chattering away incessantly without anyone knowing what they were talking about, which drove people crazy with annoyance.

At this moment, Kaiyang completely ignored her shyness. Not to mention the future, even right now during breakfast, Kaiyang throwfully made a fuss over so many new tricks that had never appeared before.

"Fulfill my wish, I beg you, okay?" I lowered my head, my clothes trembling, my hands trembling, and my voice trembling along with them. I didn't dare to look into those cold eyes. She lowered her gaze, looking at the back of my neck, gazing at that exquisitely curved expanse of snow-white skin.

Since Grand Princess Shaoyang had expressed her stance, the Empress naturally refused to lag behind. Even if she harbored dissatisfaction and humiliation in her heart, she would not display a lack of grace in front of Grand Princess Shaoyang.

He concealed the emotions in his eyes and intently focused on the memorial in his hands. He thought to himself: The only way now is a swift and decisive victory. The sooner this war is fought and finished, the sooner I can return to her side.

Those were the eyes of a falcon about to hunt—bright, filled with absolute certainty. Xuan Shitian's hands also transformed into claws as he prepared to lunge and attack Pei Zhen.

She would never allow such a thing to happen. Therefore, she had to endure now, bearing the towering humiliation Lengyue inflicted upon her. She swore in her heart that one day, she would return all of this to Lengyue a thousandfold, ten thousandfold.

Muxi stepped out of the Qingtay Pavilion, shook off all the tails following behind her, and arrived at the spot where Yinyue and Hongyue were waiting. This was where the three of them had agreed to meet earlier. As Muxi entered the courtyard, Yinyue and Hongyue were already waiting.

Everyone immediately looked over, all eager to know who dared to plot against Madam Xing, the direct bloodline descendants, and a pregnant concubine.
