The Prince of Min, seeing that the Eldest Prince did not look well, offered a few kind words of advice. Emperor Jing'an, however, summoned Qin Fengyi to the palace immediately after the morning court session and even bestowed breakfast upon him.
"Six percent? You really are generous!" Shen Qingqing was a sharp woman; she knew exactly what six percent entailed.
Luo Tong and Luo Su were among the few remaining Asuras in the world, so naturally, they had ways to verify each other's existence. However, this required the assistance of Mizuki; if she were unwilling, it would be difficult to guarantee accuracy.
"Why go back there? Those heartless people back then even tried to harm A-Feng. I never want to return there in this lifetime." Mrs. Qin’s mood darkened at the mention of her old hometown, so Li Jing decided not to bring it up again.
After the call ended, the father and son watched the people in the living room shift their gaze, looking with amusement at the half-hidden head poking out from beside the wall.
"Are you saying he didn't think much of us at all?" Chu Liyue asked, somewhat surprised.
"What are you doing?" As a naive and innocent-looking eldest sister-in-law, Linlang appropriately expressed her "shock."
The two hot eggs tucked into his jacket, intended for the squad leader, were picked up by the Blue Team's infrared imager, exposing the entire squad.
Mizuki’s approach here was simple: mobilize the officers and soldiers under her command to launch a forced attack. Although she was not from the Land of Mountains, as the ninja tasked with this mission, the Daimyo had granted her high authority.
Lin Meiwan said, "No, even if I did, I wouldn't invite you." This was the truth; she had no money. All the money she had earned from killing over the years had gone into buying this apartment, and the rest had been sent to her parents. Where would she get the money?
Qing Ruifan was a backer they could no longer rely on, but fortunately, they had never considered him a major figure anyway. The lesson that they could only rely on themselves was something Gu Huai had taught them. Lessons baptized in blood and tears could not be forgotten so easily.

Watching Lian Die, Yi Hanxuan was inexplicably reminded of Wu Ming. It felt as though that time with Wu Ming had become a distant memory; although it had only been a year since they parted, it felt as long as a century.
"You mean..." Lan Pingtian’s gaze involuntarily drifted toward the entrance of the alley, watching Liu Qi’s retreating back.
He hesitated for a moment before boldly pouring out his heart to her. At the same time, he kept stealing glances at Calethe’s expression.
Shimizu suddenly realized the truth. With a clear whistle, he leaped into the air, heading straight for Yagyu Yoshiyoshi. His long sword flashed as he made a fierce stroke, drawing a perfect, massive circle.
"Li Tianyou, I want you to pay with your life! I never expected you to break through my beast soul and destroy my physical form." The nine-headed demon dog was now a lingering spirit, determined to fight Li Tianyou to the bitter end.
"I..." Fang Yuan was momentarily speechless; it seemed that was the logic. Thinking about it this way, had they always been the ones putting pressure on her? His expression turned grim at the thought.
Shi Bugu pulled the others away and said, "Perhaps something has happened. Let’s push the door open!" After gaining the agreement of Yi Mao and the others, Shi Bugu kicked the door open.
She watched without blinking as Mu Baili reached out to accept the imperial decree, a cold, biting smile curling at the corners of his lips. He stared at Zhao Wuyou with an icy gaze, as if trying to see through her. Alas, she was someone who did not easily reveal her emotions, so he could not discern the turmoil within her heart at that moment.
Only Fei Jing could resolve this situation; he was, after all, a professional. The title of "Ghost Hunting Daoist" was not earned for nothing, so it was only natural for Ali to have questions for him.
"Young Master Jian is at Linjiang Tower. I have already had the tower cleared, so Magistrate Zhao can go with peace of mind." Shen Yan took the lead, with Zhao Wuyou following behind as an attendant.
Su Ye was somewhat startled. He had never experienced such a thing and had no idea how to handle it.

I immediately took a detour. Directly ahead lay an ice path swarming with countless monsters, and the Yin Water Beasts were gathered there in such density, waiting for the waves to rise so they could launch their attack, that there was simply no way through.
However, this was fire, after all, and it had the power to burn. Once it ignited the clothes of Bucktooth Dragon and his cronies, heh heh! Wang He pictured Bucktooth Dragon and his men looking scorched and disheveled, and he broke into a wicked grin.
"Heavens, there’s so much demonic energy here! Where is it coming from?" The fat man was utterly shocked.
To my surprise, Huzi reached behind his back and drew the large dagger I had been carrying, charging toward the Taotie behind us.
As soon as Tang Aotian finished speaking, an old man beside him strode up to Xie Dongya, reached into his pocket, and took out the jade tablet that Xie Dongya had won at the exhibition.
There were few soldiers left in Jinyang Prefecture to begin with, and when Li Yuan executed Wang Wei and Gao Junya, he had completely purged their loyal subordinates. The result was that the garrison in Jinyang City became an empty shell with no combat capability whatsoever.
"Brother Du, I know that. I mean, after such a huge incident, not only did they fail to win back the family shares and the Fish-Gut Sword from that person Ye, but they also ended up losing 250 million US dollars and the Heshi Bi, the world's finest jade. Do Zhou Zixing and his son still have the heart to attend a jewelry exhibition?" Sun Zilong said with a chuckle.
"Zhang Kuo?" Just as I was preparing to find a way to contact Daoist Lu again, a voice suddenly sounded right beside my ear. In this environment, such an occurrence made me jump in terror.
