Volume 1, Chapter 144: The Oleaster Flowers Are in Bloom

The May Day holiday was approaching the beginning of summer, and the oleaster flowers in Yangcao Village were in full bloom. The trees were covered with tiny, bell-like blossoms, exuding a sweet and intoxicating fragrance, full of vitality and joyous spirit.

Early in the morning, Zhang Weidong started up his Santana and led the wedding procession to Shacheng County.

The private dining room upstairs was exceptionally well-located. Opening the window offered a view of the river winding around Jiangcheng, its banks lush with trees, flowers, and grass. Although winter was setting in, the scenery remained remarkably pleasant.

With another shudder of his physique, Han Fengxue sped away toward the distance. Finding a quiet spot, he began his assimilative cultivation. The divine power, soul energy, potential, and insights he had devoured from the experts all awaited his slow digestion and integration into his own being.

"This... Princess Feng merely said she was going out for a walk; she didn't specify where," Xu Mao said, unsure how much Shangguan Hongye actually knew, forcing him to maintain a calm and unyielding front.

"This subordinate is willing to risk everything to try..." Wushuang stubbornly insisted. She could sense that A-Xiang was currently lost and needed someone to help him, yet she had no idea what had actually happened to him. The urgency in her heart was something others could never comprehend.

Bai Jie and Jiang Nan had been wondering what he was about to say! To think that after holding it in for so long, he would blurt out such a remark, earning him a barrage of blows from their delicate fists.

After all, Martial Emperors confronting Martial Monarchs—especially since several of them were advancing to the rank of Martial Emperor with a foundation far stronger than ordinary Martial Monarchs—meant they were beginning to prepare to turn the tables in this game of chess against the Xu family. However, seeing an increasing number of Martial Monarchs outside, Ye Mingyue began to feel a surge of tension.

"You possess a greater aptitude for being emperor than I do, and I believe that under your governance, the Yunyan Empire will flourish even more..." Shangguan Hongye patted Shangguan Hongley's shoulder and smiled gently.

There it was. With You Sifan taking the lead, Chen Wu, Dong Qianli, and the others also burst into tears. Falling to their knees one by one, they professed that they had no desire for official posts and wished only to follow Li Zhen. These generals were all men of formidable lung capacity; once they started weeping, the resulting din could only be described as world-shaking.

Had he persisted with his original plan to injure Shuten-doji, he inevitably would have failed to dodge in time and been struck square-on by Ibaraki-doji's sorcery.

Using the power of his inner core to activate the space-time disc should succeed, but once the core was extracted, he would instantly turn to ashes and enter parinirvana ahead of time.

Previously, Li Sha had felt that this "Ning'an" was quite a formidable character, but after saying so much, she felt as though this "Ning'an" was starting to lose nerve... At this moment, even just looking at "Ning'an," it felt as though he had been rendered speechless.

At this, Zheng Hai understood completely and could not help giving Lin Yue a thumbs-up, praising him for thinking so far ahead. Lin Yue offered a bitter smile; with the situation turning out this way, he had simply been left with no other choice.

This kind of medicine was actually similar to the gelatinous substance found in certain animals. It could accumulate a specific amount of energy-storage acid, which was then dissolved through accelerated blood flow during intense physical exertion, releasing a massive amount of energy.

As her voice trailed off, a request signal for entry came in. Yu Rong glanced at the camera and motioned for the control officer to grant passage, pausing the training session. A yellow light lit up on the screen, and a straight-haired young woman in a uniform bearing a guide armband stepped into the training room.

I slapped Bai Cap twice, but his head merely bobbed limply from the force, showing not the slightest sign of sobriety.

However, Ai Zhong was a man who had long navigated this society and was well-versed in the intricacies of such interpersonal relationships.

It was already late at night. Knowing that Su Ruotong must be asleep by then, Tao Xian did not call her, but instead sent a private message asking about the details of Chen Xing's birthday banquet. In the photograph Chen Xing had sent him of Su Ruotong, a large birthday cake was prominently visible, making it clear that Chen Xing had been invited to attend her celebration.
