Volume One, Chapter 39: So Prince Xuan didn’t do anything to you either?

Sitting on the bench in the locker room, Wang Zhaoyang felt a lingering sense of frustration. Despite all his calculations, he had been outmaneuvered. Although he bore no responsibility for the incident, for a special forces soldier, it was a disgrace.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged glances, both understanding that their master had gone to pursue Shi Qingxuan. Yet, they were deeply puzzled by their master’s uncharacteristic behavior—why would he chase after her?

Silly Brother spoke purely based on the facts; over the years, apart from his family, only Yao Yao had truly cared for him.

Ryoko Hamada threw her head back and laughed, as if she had encountered something utterly ridiculous.

"Some things are within your capabilities, and achieving them is expected. Other things may seem beyond you, but your task is to strive for them in the days to come, not to give up easily. Do you understand?" Brother Dao looked at Wen Biluo and the others, sensing their inner thoughts, and spoke aloud.

Perhaps due to my own maturation, the festive spirit of the New Year, while present, felt less vibrant than before. It might also have been related to my final exam results, but I kept feeling that the New Year offered no sense of celebration.

Ye Feng exhaled in relief, his heart still racing. Thankfully, he had reacted in time and retreated into the innate formation; otherwise, he would have suffered a grievous loss.

It would have been better if they hadn't looked, but having seen it, Silly Brother and Second Brother were ready to risk everything to kill Xie Chang'an.

"Tell me, I thought she was being coerced—what was I supposed to do at that moment?" Master Wu asked Second Brother.

Wu Hao caught up from behind, took a dagger, inserted it into the latch of the warehouse gate padlock, and with a forceful pry, broke the lock.

Upon learning that the commander of the imperial army was his mortal enemy, Mu Ertai, General Huntian Luo, seeking vengeance for his brothers, decided to capture Mu Ertai alive and force Gao Xianzhi to challenge him personally. With that, he led an army of one hundred thousand toward Mu Ertai’s vanguard legion.

After Nazhalo was killed by Gao Xianzhi, his sworn brother Huntian Luo was devastated. Determined to avenge him, he joined forces with the five Ghost Cow Beast Kings at Mount Guiniu, setting up a defense and waiting for the imperial army to strike.

Seeing everyone leave, Xian'er finally let out a long sigh. This amnesiac Feng Yufei made her feel increasingly insecure. Given her current personality, if she were to regain her memories one day and reveal everything to Shangguan Honglie, there would truly be no place left for her.

"When he saw that Fei was gone, he left as well. I assumed he had gone to look for you," Shangguan Honglie said.

"If you don't give Liang Ying to me, not a single soul in the Underworld shall live!" As Tuyin shouted these words in a raspy voice, Si Yi had already completed the ritual for the sacrificial technique, and the dim sky of the Underworld was immediately replaced by the blinding light emitted by the spell.

Hiroto Kuroki asked himself if there was anyone within the current WES, aside from Director Dugu Shangjun, capable of dealing with him.

After scouting from mid-air several times, the Ancient Ape King discovered the tracks of the Tang pilgrim. He cast a dark art from the sky, intending to snatch away Master Huaizhi. As he cast the spell, the sky suddenly changed. The disciples realized there was a demon above and flew up to surround the black cloud.

"Qian Aijun entered the business very early. Over the years, he’s done everything and collected all sorts of antiquities. After decades of accumulation, he should be worth about two billion," Zeng Yonghui calculated briefly and immediately arrived at the figure.

Gu Luo looked out and saw a figure a few yards to the right. He appeared to be fourteen, with an honest smile on his face that looked remarkably sincere.

Following his brothers' suggestions, the Fish Demon Crocodile King infiltrated the enemy camp and then swam toward the Dragon Palace. After several rounds of scouting, he found a perfect opportunity, knocked out a palace guard, took on his appearance, and slipped into the palace to wait for his moment.

Recognizing Bai Mo, the Feathered Clan’s attitude improved noticeably, though they still watched him as they spoke.

Just as they were about to secure a double play, God played a joke on them: the shortstop, who had already reached the catch point, missed the ball due to an irregular bounce—a defensive error.

"Big Brother, you're awake! Will you play with me?" Li Yun stood before the bed, staring at Liu Wei with her large eyes.

Not to mention the possibility that if he managed to draw out something he disliked from Zhao Zhen, it might cause him to abandon the idea of naming Zhao Zhen as crown prince.

When the massive physical contact occurred, Luo Long immediately sensed the difficulty of breaking through the three-man blockade. Gritting his teeth, he mustered all his strength and managed to squeeze past two Kings players simultaneously, then drove headlong toward the three-point line.

Having let go of all inhibitions, his actions appeared to others like the demeanor of a detached master who had seen through the vanity of the world.

Previously, when she saw him, even if he didn't speak, he had never been this impatient.

Standing to the side, Zhao Lin nodded slightly toward Bai Mo, offering a kind smile.

Once a dispute arose between the two, everyone would undoubtedly side with Jiang Yunzhou. Since that was the case, why bother saying anything?

After a series of extreme maneuvers, Su Qingyi successfully boarded the plane. She gasped for air, drawing frequent glances from the people beside her.

Chu Huaizhou didn't notice anything, but even with the wind howling in his ears, Xiao Jingxuan heard everything clearly.

"Who wins and who loses is not yet certain. We shall see." After speaking, Yun Qingling glared fiercely at Yun Chuyi and left the ancestral hall.

Meanwhile, in a border camp, Fusu received a secret order. His hands trembled slightly; he could not believe this was his father's command.

It answered many of the doubts in Shijiu's mind. Of course, it also brought up many new questions. There were still many mysteries waiting for Shijiu to unravel one by one.

After a forced logout, one's level drops by five, but upon logging back in, the person remains exactly where they logged out; they do not return to the town.

Liu Xiang frowned and turned his head, spotting a familiar figure in the pigsty, his heart skipping a beat.

Yet now, as she walked the streets, she could not find a single thing that resembled the city in her memories.

Generally speaking, such people either possess immense virtue, leading the common folk to worship them voluntarily until the imperial court is forced to canonize them, slowly and subtly turning them into deities.
