Chapter 99: Severe Injury

“There are only a dozen or so provinces in the Dragon Kingdom. I have handed over two major provinces to the Li family all at once. Even if the Long family eventually dominates the Dragon Kingdom, it will be guaranteed that no interests of the Li family will be infringed upon,” Long Yue said quietly in the hall, looking steadily at Li Chang’an. “You are also aware of the grudge between the Long family and the Jiang family. Therefore, between the Longs and the Jiangs, there must be a matter of life and death to settle.”

...

The tent was silent. None of the three spoke, yet their expressions changed subtly over time.

“Hmm.” Ye Feng looked at Su Ningxue’s beautiful face, marked by a trace of worry. A wave of emotion swelled in his heart, but he said nothing more. He disliked empty words, especially with those he cared about.

She never intended to compare Cui Jia with Song Che, but who could blame her when Song Che just happened to be Xu Ying’s husband?

At that very moment, Qiansui saw countless beasts mutating behind them, then turning to continue their assault on other snakes.

“My internal organs are all hooked; if I try to escape, they will be pulled out. Outside this pit are countless soul-eating insects. Even if only my primordial spirit escapes, it would be devoured before leaving the room,” the old man said with unspeakable bitterness. There was no way out; the You tribe was simply too cruel.

“Finally found it!” Seeing the ancient fortress, Gao Rong and the others were overjoyed, leaping to their feet. It was clear they had invested much effort in locating this fortress.

“Swish, swish.” As footsteps pressed against the grass, Ye Feng and Liu Ruoxi finally revealed relieved smiles—the long wait was finally over.

I had already suspected Doha as the culprit, so I deliberately asked her for help. In truth, it was a trap I set for her. I couldn’t be sure if Doha would fall for it, but luckily, when I was lying on the third floor of her house, I purposely left the door open. In the dead of night, I heard some movements.

Seeing the dazzling, hefty blade handed over by Feng Sheng’s subordinate, Zhang Hongli, confused, began trembling uncontrollably. His legs shook, his whole body quivered, and his lips stammered.

“Otherwise, what could it be? Could it be that I taught you because I like you?” Ye Feng smiled, crossing his arms.

Welcoming the envoy from the Liang Kingdom with a broken zither was not only embarrassing but also gave them grounds for criticism. Originally, Liang’s trip was meant to carve up Zhao Kingdom’s wealth, and now they had even more reason to be ruthless.

Before entering, Luo Yiran had some worries—afraid that if she performed poorly, the Yu family wouldn’t like her. But as soon as she stepped in, those concerns were immediately proven unfounded.

Kuai Ai still wore her military coat. After Bo Hui’s modifications, her original uniform merged with the coat, revealing a hint of personality.

Hehe, Nianhua came to see Ye Lanlan. The matter at the bag factory was just a casual inquiry; her main goal was to drag Ye Lanlan out shopping.

However, thinking of how Lin Huaijin had been busy all day yet achieved nothing, she believed the system’s claims seemed accurate. Resigned, she could only shake her head.

All signs pointed to Huang’s uniqueness, though she herself was unaware or simply didn’t pay it much heed.

“What kind of clothes does she usually like to wear?” Fang Lishu asked excitedly.

“Am I that kind of person? I merely...” He wanted to say he was simply devoted to honoring Empress Dowager, but the words faltered on his lips. It didn’t sound believable—not to Empress Dowager Zhuang, nor to himself.

In truth... if it weren’t for Amiya and Texas nearby, Zhou Jinru would have already lifted the Angel of Creation.
