Volume 1, Chapter 58: He Is Very Sweet

Song Yaozhu simply could not bear to see anyone doing better than herself, which was why she spoke of her in such a manner before these noble ladies!

If you asked her, Song Yaozhu must be living a miserable life. As for those two concubines, it was hard to tell whether they had been sent away or had already perished.

"Mother, let us go over!" Song Wenye pulled Madame Song toward the inner quarters, but Madame Song had already been scared out of her wits by the conversation she just heard!

Her mind was entirely consumed by panic: What if the Imperial Noble Consort retaliated against her? What if she retaliated against the Song family?

"Mother, let's go!" Seeing the strange expression on her mother's face, Song Wenye urged again.

"I am feeling unwell. Have one of the manor's maidservants take me to the side chamber to rest," Madame Song said in a muffled voice.

Song Wenye pursed her lips...

Over the vast grassland, the roars of various beasts suddenly echoed through the air. Everyone merely stood in quiet awe, gazing at Tang Yulong and the halo of light surrounding him. No one could understand what they were communicating about, save for the master of the Dragon and Phoenix Pendant. Dragons soared and phoenixes danced, while all creation bowed in submission.

Next, the first priority was to see how much the three of them could absorb from their teachings, and the second was to gauge whether their desire for survival was strong enough to transform themselves for the sake of staying alive.

——Upon the establishment of the Shennong Holding Company, Zhang Guodong chose to become a hands-off boss. Although he held the seat of the fourth director, he rarely attended board meetings.

My gaze fell upon his prominent Adam's apple—the most vulnerable spot for anyone trained in swordsmanship, and the hardest to guard. The moment the "Transgression Blade" struck, he would instantly collapse. There was simply no second possible outcome.

Dalian Bay is situated in the Yellow Sea, where the Japanese Combined Fleet prowled, whereas Jinzhou Bay lies within the Bohai Sea, entirely free of Japanese naval traces. Therefore, if the consort wished to deploy the Chinese naval forces, they could only rely upon Jinzhou Bay.

The guards outside the large tent automatically stepped aside, allowing the group to enter smoothly before quickly reforming their ranks and sealing the entrance tightly.

"I had no other choice either; I didn't want to drag you down with me!" Xu Yang looked at Li Tian with a wronged expression.

The provincial-level transition of power in Xiqin Province took place concurrently with the rest of the country's provinces and autonomous regions. This electoral cycle produced the newly elected Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.

The Beiyang Army requisitioned all Chinese-owned vessels near Nanjing, leaving only foreign ships free to navigate. In this era, flying a foreign flag essentially allowed one to ignore the domestic government, whether it was the imperial regime or the republic. Consequently, selling foreign flags to Chinese merchants and registering vessel nationalities became a routine business for many foreign trading houses.

"That's good, then let's go to sleep a bit earlier today. Look at you, your dark circles are so heavy," Tang Xuanli said, his fingers gently brushing beneath Bao Weiwei's eyes, where the shadows appeared particularly prominent now that night had fallen.

In truth, if one were to be completely honest, Zhu Beibei was the only one in such an eager rush; her roommates were relatively ordinary people, yet Zhu Beibei clearly held little affection for them.

Now, looking back, the illusion she once held—that her tribe was thriving and powerful—seemed utterly ridiculous upon truly witnessing the outside world. Just like the fable the people of Benkang taught them, they indigenous people were no different from the frog at the bottom of a well, far too full of their own cleverness.

Ning Zhiyuan was willing to trade three years of his life for a single chance because this path had already been sealed off. Du Yiyi, convicted and imprisoned through the joint tribunal of the Three Chief Judicial Offices, could never be freed through legal channels again. He could only selfishly gamble his own life to plead for the Emperor's pity, using familial ties to shake the Emperor's principle that the law reigns above all else.

A winter morning was exceptionally cold. After rising and performing a simple washing routine, Yueyao went to the backyard to practice her martial arts. Half an hour later, her forehead was beaded with sweat.

Xiao Ziqi did not bring any servants this time. Qin Hua followed behind the two men, and as soon as they entered the inner hall, he guarded the doorway outside, ensuring no one could approach or gain entry.

Zhao Xing was also a man of passion and decisive action, abandoning his hesitation to ruthlessly slash and hack at the group once more.

Of course, breaching the interior of Jilong Port did not equate to a total defeat for the Flood Gate, but one thing was certain: even if the Flood Gate ultimately managed to repel the Flying Dragon Gang members, their losses within Jilong Port would inevitably be immense.

Anyway, the night was so dark; even if he could see her face, what of it? Furthermore, she was in disguise. This old man had no way of recognizing her.

"Boss, we swear, from now on we will do whatever you tell us to do. If you tell us to go east, we will never go west... If we ever harbor a double heart, may we be struck by lightning!" Ma Zhê was the first to react, immediately raising his left palm as he spoke.

He was plainly so modest, so courteous, and so docile. To have such a nephew, one must have engaged in devout spiritual cultivation for at least three lifetimes.

All the Buddhas and Tathagatas, along with the Great Bodhisattvas, and the Celestials and Dragons of the Eight Legions, upon hearing Shakyamuni Buddha praise and extol the inconceivable great spiritual might of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, praised it as an unprecedented marvel.

She heard all the whispers from the surrounding crowd. The mere thought that Su Mu had actually offended a super-sect possessing fairyland-level power made her feel as though the sky were collapsing, her mind spinning with a dizzying sense of impending faintness.

Items like wristwatches, bicycles, and radios—especially wristwatches, being one of the coveted "three items and one sound"—were in exceptionally high demand.

When several of them completed their work simultaneously, Yin Chuying experienced a heavy depletion of her spiritual abilities, leaving her dizzy and nauseated. Failing to steady herself for a moment, her body involuntarily drifted backward.

Hearing it with her own ears today, she finally understood how much Gu Xijiang had sacrificed for her, stirring a faint trace of emotion within her heart.

Li Qing'er was truly worthy of being the Madame Li who could steer the Li family forward even on her deathbed in history. The moment she spoke, she raised yet another crucial question.

The heavens suddenly plunged into darkness as a massive fissure, stretching fully a thousand meters long, tore across the firmament, forming a gigantic black hole that refused to heal for a long time.

"With Brother Zhang's presence, our Spirit Grass Sect might truly rise to prominence," Xuan Qing said with a hint of pleasant surprise on his face.

"Master, next time I'll eat someone who is highly educated so that I can learn how to read characters," Big Mouth said, eager to try.

Talent L: Is everything determined by human effort? This matter will rely entirely on the big brother! I don't care how much money it takes; I'll just wait for the good news.

Looking past the rooftop into the distance, one could see an endless, boundless plain unobstructed by a single mountain. Here and there, amidst the lush, verdant cornfields, clusters of villages could be vaguely discerned, embedded like gems within the sea of green.

If one wished to achieve a cure, it was essential to restore the body's yin-yang balance through qi-tonifying medicines; to eradicate the root cause completely, the hematopoietic function of the diseased tissues had to be regenerated.

Upon entering Yaosan City without the slightest delay, Qing Yun immediately located the teleportation array leading to the neighboring stellar system. Suotian was his sword spirit, allowing him to clearly sense the complete absence of Suotian's aura within this Yaoyuan star system. Tendering twenty top-tier spirit stones, Qing Yun stepped into the array bound for the Flowing Water Star System.

Eventually, she could no longer hold back and asked the man sleeping beside her pillow whether he trusted her. Yet, knowing her thoughts had been laid bare, Cao Taichuan flew into a rage out of shame and subjected her to a bout of domestic violence.

Talent said, "We'll just order the three dishes you mentioned, and add a plate of hand-grabbed mutton." After ordering and chatting for a while, Hai E'er picked up his phone and said, "Before I start drinking and lose my sobriety, I need to make a call to that special police squad instructor." With that, he took out his phone and dialed.

"Suddenly, I feel like your intentions go far beyond the wine, my worthy brother." Having met Lady Guo, Gongsun Sheng remarked to Xie Xin with a meaningful implication.
